The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 243

Deep in thought, Grace was interrupted by the sight of a limited edition black Lamborghini Batmobile circling around the fountain pool and stopping at the entrance. The bodyguard in the passenger seat was the first to step out and assist with the door.

Elegantly stepping out of the car, Laura Smith emerged in a sophisticated and dignified white dress. Her tall figure and meticulous appearance reflected her status as the wife of Mr. Chris Smith, as well as her reputation as the most beautiful flight attendant in the Ministry of Civil Aviation of Freedonia.

Grace greeted her sister–in–law with utmost politeness and courtesy. “Sister–in–law, why are you

here?”

“Chris had some matters to handle at the State Affairs Bureau, and I had some free time, so I came to support you,” Laura explained with a gentle smile. Naturally, she took hold of Grace’s wrist, but her gaze quickly shifted to the deserted building, and she subconsciously checked the time.

“Why is it still so quiet? What’s going on?” Laura questioned, her concern evident.

Laura and Grace immediately realized the implications. If no business tycoons were present by the start of the ribbon–cutting ceremony, it would be reported in the afternoon news.

This would inevitably invite online ridicule and undermine Grace’s aspirations of breaking away from the Smith family and establishing her independent career.

Grace maintained a serious expression, but Laura’s concern intensified. Grace reassured her with a smile, “Sister–in–law, don’t worry. Perhaps they were delayed on their way.”

Turning her attention to her assistant, Beth White, who had been transferred from Frant City, Grace instructed, “Call the guests according to the list and inquire about the situation. Offer any assistance they may need.”

“Understood, Director Salen,” Beth replied promptly.

Laura shook her head in disappointment. “Not a single person has arrived. What a coincidence. Don’t try to comfort me. You are the one who will be affected the most.”
