Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 129

“Why don’t you say something, Great Scientist? Could it be that you can’t afford it?” Ethan stared at Olivia with a sharp gaze.

The others began to whisper.

“Oh my, don’t tell me she doesn’t want to pay for it?”

“I heard them talking just now. They said the dress Olivia is wearing is made from a tailor’s shop. She can’t even afford a proper gown. I bet she doesn’t have much money.”

“That’s for sure. Didn’t she make a righteous remark just now? I thought she was some outstanding scientist whose name would go down in history. As it turns out, she couldn’t pay a single cent. How embarrassing.”

No matter what they said, Olivia just leaned against the railing quietly with an indifferent expression.

Seeing this, Ethan sneered. “Does she think that she could get away by playing dumb?

He stroked Emma’s hand to comfort her. Then, he smirked and was about to speak to Olivia.

Right then, a dignified and elegant middle–aged woman in a gown made her way through the crowd and walked up to Olivia. “Miss Olivia.”

Olivia nodded. “Is he here?”

The middle–aged woman replied, “Yes, he is.”

Just as everyone was wondering what they were talking about, a stylish old man rushed over.

After looking at him for a while, they said in shock, “Abel! The world–renowned designer, Mr. Abel Dubois!”

It was understandable that people didn’t recognize Abel right away. He used to dress very fashionably whether at a show or a party and had a unique and quirky style that stood out among many celebrities.

However, other than the face, the old man in front of him looked nothing like Abel.

His hair was flat, looking as if he had just randomly applied hair gel on it. Instead of wearing uncommon outfits as he did in the past, he was clad in
