Comeback Of The Hidden Heiress

A Proven Identity

Hailey’s POV

I rolled my eyes. “Don’t start the day with such a boring introduction.” I expected him to react to what I said, but he ended up laughing a little bit.

He drew out a chair for me and I sat down before he went to his seat. A waiter came to take our order prior to when our conversation started.

“So why didn’t you reject the engagement years ago? You could have chosen to cancel it when I said I wasn’t interested. Why wait?”

I asked him the question that bothered me so much.

“I just wanted to.” His reply was simple and fast. I studied his expression and composure, but he wasn’t having any shaky moments.

I couldn’t tell if he was nervous or not as his expression was calm. Indeed, worthy to be called the wealthiest man in the USA.

“A deal.” I proposed. He was looking at me and I felt uncomfortable at his stare, so I cleared my throat.

“A deal is all I needed. We’ll fake marriage to the crowd and grandfather. A perfect couple, but once we are out of where the camera is, no one is to interfere with each other.” I thought I saw his calm expression break for a while, but it was covered up quickly.

“Our private lives will be different from one another, and we can’t interfere in each other's business, do you agree?” I asked him.

There was silence at first, and I thought he wanted to disagree, but he said something else. “So, what’s in with the deal for me?” Of course, I knew he'd ask.

I smiled at him.

******

It was already weeks since I met Kingsley, and I could say he looked mysterious and interesting to me. I wanted to know more about this man.

The engagement day was purposely set to be the same date as the cooperation with the Moore family.

I plan to reveal my identity and cancel the plans given to them. Since Lillian loves taking credit so much, then I’ll give her one.

I slipped in the long white baseball gown sent to me by Kingsley on my body. The waistline fit perfectly on my body. I adjusted the hand and let down my hair, letting it flow down, reaching her shoulders.

I applied lipstick a bit to moisten my lips more before standing up straight. I took my purse and my phone; I slipped into the heels beside my bed, then I smiled, walking outside.

Everyone had already left for the party, but I stayed a bit because I had something to do. I left into the car. The driver started it immediately when I entered.

The car stopped in front of the banquet hotel, and I stepped out after the driver opened the door for me.

It so happened that Tyler and Lillian both got out of their own car also. “What a rare sight to see,” I thought.

I walked towards the entrance but was stopped by them as Lillian came forward.

“Sister, what are you doing here?” She asked me. I hate green tea bitches the most.

“Firstly, I’m the only daughter of my parents. We aren’t two.”

“Secondly, I really hate green tea bitches. "Especially bitches like you who think acting all bitchy is everything needed to control a man.” I said and tried going, but Tyler stopped me.

“I never said you could go yet,” he said. “You are just one lowly delivery woman, so why are you here? Have you hooked up with one of those old men just to get inside here?” He blurted out, which made me laugh.

To be honest, I didn’t think I really fell in love with a wolf-hearted man like this. “If you try stopping me one more time, then I’ll really show you the power of those old men,” I boasted back to him.

I showed my invitation to the guard at the entrance before walking in. There were a lot of celebrities and wealthy businessmen attending the banquet ceremony.

Just when I sighted my grandfather and tried walking to him, Lillian came and pushed me unexpectedly, making me lose my balance and I almost fell.

This caused all the guests to stare at us. Every single eye inside the banquet was on us. “Do you think by attending this party, you could rise from being a peasant to a phoenix?” She asked. Her hand placed on her side waist.

I thought she had a little brain left, and now I could see she didn’t. “Tyler, why don’t you train your dog to be more effective, so she’ll know when to bark or not.” I rolled my eyes at them.

I knew that would annoy her a lot.

“What did you just say?” She asked. Her eyes were red with anger as she stared at me like she was ready to pounce on me.

“I don’t want to think your ears are starting to malfunction also, right? Oh my God, what a pity.” Everyone in the hall laughed at what I just said.

“You are just one old cleaning housewife that my husband doesn’t want again. "If it wasn’t because you had slept with some old men to get here today, do you think you'd be here?” She blurted out.

I was thinking about waiting until my identity was announced before canceling their cooperation with the company, but their irritating appearance was starting to annoy me.

“Do you think everyone will be like you, wishing to be a mistress and destroying homes everywhere like a dog?” I pushed her back and gave her a slap on her right cheek.

Everyone in the hall knew me since it was specially sent to everyone who I was except for these two scumbags. I can’t wait to see the look of surprise on their faces.

“How dare you push me? Who do you think you are?” She tried to attack me; she was holding a bottle of wine in her hand and threw it at me.

It was an unexpected thing, so I closed my eyes in shock, unable to move. I thought it could have hit me by now, but nothing touched me, so I opened my eyes in time to see Kingsley facing me.

He was backing the couple. I felt liquid drop on the floor and checked to see that it was blood. “You are bleeding King.” I said worried about him, even though I didn’t know why I was so worried.

“It’s nice seeing you worry about me again, but I’m fine.” He smiled affectionately and pecked my forehead. I couldn’t tell if he was doing it because of the deal or because he was being real.

“You need to go to the hospital.” I tried to make him, but he stopped me.

“I’m fine.” He muttered. He held my hand and faced them; Tyler was the first to talk.

“Sir, why did you protect this woman, I’m telling you, she’s nothing but a slut…” King interrupted him by kicking him with his leg.

Tyler fell to the ground, groaning in pain. “How dare you call the heiress of Norway group a slut? And who do you think you are to open your mouth and insult my fiancé, the fiancé of I, Kingsley Geralt, have I gone too soft these days?”

“What do you mean? Heiress… Norway… Fiancée…” Tyler stuttered in shock, his eyes threatening to fall from their eyeballs.

Lillian was looking extremely shocked while staring at me. “Impossible, I have been her husband for 3 years, and she has never mentioned it to me,” he shouted.

King was about to talk, but I stopped him, “I’ll do this myself.” I walked towards him slowly and stopped in front of him, intentionally pressing his fingers.

“Have you ever thought about why an incompetent person like you could get a cooperation with the Norway group, or why your company would get better and better with different big contracts? Or why could you go public in just a space of two years?”

“You could have learned to cherish what you have without being a scumbag.” I kicked him and tried to walk back to Kingsley.

“Wait, Hailey, I’m really sorry.”

“She seduced me. You know I really love you. I was just confused for some moments, please give me another chance.” His words were deafening to me.

I was emotionally tortured for three years just because he had his first love that he was still holding on to.

“You are really a scumbag.” I spat at him. Brother signaled the guards to take the two of them out with Tyler screaming my name.

I rushed to King’s side worried, “King, are you okay?” I asked immediately. He nodded his head, but I knew that was a lie, and I was right because he collapsed almost immediately.
