Chapter 220
Kenneth showed up, and all the people rushed forward excitedly to surround him with flattery.
"We heard that Mr. Lucero will come to attend Ms. Stephany's birthday party, but we didn't expect that you would really come. Mr. Lucero, nice to meet you."
"In recent years, Mr. Lucero has been very low-key and mysterious. He has never been present on any public occasion. This is the first time I have seen him at a birthday party. Obviously, Mr. Lucero likes Ms. Stephany very much."
"Ms. Stephany is not only the first beauty in Hardgrad but also a medical genius. Therefore, she is really the perfect match for Mr. Lucero."
Amid all the greetings and compliments, Stephany looked up at Kenneth beside her. He was tall, standing in the middle of the bright lights. The light seemed to give a golden, dazzling glow to his handsome features and made him so charming that she felt shy to look straight at him.
Stephany had always dreamed that one day she could stand beside him openly, enjoying the envy, respect, and flattery of all people.
Now, she felt that this dream had finally come true.
Seth looked very happy. He had never dared to dream that he would become the father-in-law of such a powerful man as Kenneth. He had never thought that Kenneth would take a fancy to his daughter. Seth said with a flattering smile, "Mr. Lucero, thank you for coming to Stephany's birthday. Let me introduce myself. I'm Stephany's father, Seth, and this is Stephany's mother..."
Seth reached out to grab Caitlin beside him, but he failed. He looked back and then saw Caitlin, who was supposed to be the most complacent person present, show a pale face.
Caitlin looked at Kenneth in shock. Her pupils kept contracting and expanding. Her expression was filled with disbelief, and she stammered, "You...you..."
Caitlin suffered a heavy blow some time ago, and it took her two whole months to recover. However, her memory was not bad, and she quickly recognized Kenneth.
She remembered that Kenneth had once come to the Snyder's mansion and saved Arabella.
At that time, she thought that Kenneth was a gigolo kept by Arabella. That day, he was cold, arrogant, and overbearing. He easily scared away the several bodyguards she had hired at high salaries. Even so, she only thought that Kenneth was the most arrogant gigolo she had ever seen in her whole life.
Therefore, Caitlin was very impressed with him. However, she had never expected the gigolo to be Kenneth Lucero, the president of the Lucero Group.
She could not help wondering what the relationship was between him and Arabella.
Her head suddenly went blank, and she was unable to think.
Caitlin's gaffe made Stephany and Seth very unhappy. Seth quickly scolded in a low voice, "Caitlin, what are you doing? Hurry up and greet Mr. Lucero."
Stephany looked at Kenneth and explained with coquetry, "Mr. Lucero, my mother may be too happy to see you. I hope you won't mind."
Kenneth hadn't spoken since he came in. Now his deep, narrow eyes glanced lightly at Caitlin. Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "I've met Mrs. Snyder once."
Both Seth and Stephany were stunned for a moment.
Seth almost jumped up. He asked in a low voice, "Caitlin, when did you meet Mr. Lucero? Why didn't you tell me?"
Caitlin broke into a cold sweat. She stammered, "I...I..."
Stephany felt that Caitlin was kind of embarrassing her in front of Kenneth. She quickly changed the topic and complained to Kenneth, "Mr. Lucero, let me tell you a funny joke. It turns out that this man is not Bella's husband but her housekeeper. And, her housekeeper said that her husband was going to celebrate her birthday on the top floor of the Emgrand Hotel. Isn't it funny?"
Everyone quickly echoed, "Mr. Lucero, please quickly expose this lie. We can't stand it anymore."
