Chapter 108: His Family
Earlier, when Hannah entered, she had a conversation with Avery, assuming that Ella didn’t have an invitation and must have bribed the doorman to get in.
They were utterly ignorant and naive! In a place like this, without Eric’s permission, Ella couldn’t have possibly gained entry.
Ella not receiving an invitation was also part of her plan. She wanted these women to expose their true colors in front of everyone, making the hypocritical heiresses even more detestable.
"Miss Allen, what do you mean by that? Mr. Nelson is the host here, yet you’re trying to kick me out. It seems the guests are now outranking the host!" Ella laughed loudly.
Her words drew everyone’s attention to Avery.
Avery’s face changed color, and Emma quickly shook her head, "My sister didn’t mean that. But you didn’t have an invitation, so you must have bribed the doorman to get in!"
Emma’s loud voice seemed intent on making sure everyone knew Ella didn’t have an invitation.
The surrounding looks became increasingly speculative.
"Sis, you should leave. Don’t embarrass our Davis family!" Hannah, inwardly smug, pushed Ella toward the exit, feigning urgency.
"You all misunderstood. It was my fault for forgetting to send her the invitation. Here it is!" Eric said with a faint smile, pulling a thick, luxurious invitation from his pocket.
There was a murmur of astonishment from the crowd.
