The Rolls–Royce Phantom slowly drove into the manor hotel where the dinner was held.
A long red carpet had already been laid at the entrance, and both sides were packed with media reporters.
The flash went off like it was daytime, aimed at every luxury car that arrived.
When Zachary and Gabrielle got out of the car, the scene instantly hit a little high.
Zachary, the heir of the Monroe family, was also a big shot in Mossvale.
He hardly ever showed up at these public events, and there was never a steady girlfriend by his side.
And today, he not only came, but also brought along a stunningly beautiful date.
More importantly, the matching rings on their hands that symbolized being married!
The reporters, like sharks smelling blood, went crazy snapping photos.
“Mr. Monroe, is this lady next to you your wife?”
“Mr. Monroe, could you tell us who your wife was?”
“Mrs. Monroe, when did you and Mr. Monroe get married?”
All kinds of problems came flooding in.

Zachary’s expression didn’t change, he just held Gabrielle even closer in his arms.
His sharp eyes swept over the reporters who tried to get close, carrying an invisible sense of pressure.
The reporters instinctively took a few steps back, not daring to get too close.
Zachary didn’t answer any questions, just put his arm around Gabrielle and calmly walked down the red carpet.
His posture already said it all.
This woman was his, under his protection, and no one was allowed to say anything about it.
Entered the banquet hall, and inside it was already full of people dressed up, with glasses clinking everywhere.
Classical music flowed in the air.
The dazzling crystal chandelier lit up the whole hall like a palace.
The appearance of Zachary and Gabrielle immediate caught everyone’s attention.
The men were amazed by Gabrielle’s beauty and charm.
The women were more jealous and curious.
Who exactly was this Mrs. Monroe who suddenly showed up?
It actually made Zachary, who was always so cold, declare his claim so openly.
Quite a few people/recognized Zachary and came up to say hi.

Zachary just nodded lightly, looking distant but still polite.
But when he introduced Gabrielle, his tone was totally different.
“This is my wife, Irene.”
His voice was clear and serious, with a tone that said no doubt about it.
Every time he introduced her, he held Gabrielle’s hand a little tighter.
It was like giving her strength this way, and also warning others.
Gabrielle always kept a polite smile on her face.
She followed Zachary and chatted with those big shots she had only seen in financial magazines.
Her words and manners were graceful and confident, neither humble nor arrogant.
You couldn’t tell at all that she was a “woman who appeared out of nowhere.”
This kind of poise made those who originally wanted to laugh at her quietly put away their contempt.
Roger came too, saw the two of them, and walked over with a smile.
“Zachary, little sister and brother, you two really were the center of attention today.”
“Irene, you looked so beautiful today, you outshined everyone.”
Roger genuinely admired.
“Roger laughed,” Gabrielle replied modestly.
“I’m telling the truth.” Roger blinked.

“Just now I saw quite a few so–called socialites, and their faces turned green.”
Zachary heard that, looked down at Gabrielle, and his eyes were full of pride.
“That was natural, and just look whose wife it was.
The three were chatting when a well–dressed, well–maintained middle- aged woman walked over.
There was a young man who looked kind of familiar following behind her.
It was that slick–looking guy who got slapped by Zachary at the jewelry store last time.
And this middle–aged woman was his mother, the wife of the chairman of the Wyatt Group, Nathaly Wyatt.
The Wyatt Group was hit hard a month ago and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
But a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse, and Nathaly relied on selling off some assets and family connections.
Barely managed to keep up appearances, still got a ticket to this kind of
event.
Nathaly’s eyes fell on Gabrielle, full of obvious hatred and jealousy
It was this woman who got her son beaten up and almost ruined the Wyatt Group.
She came today just to find a chance to embarrass this woman.
“Yo, isn’t this Mr. Monroe? What a rare guest.”

Nathaly’s tone was sharp and mean, but her eyes glanced at Gabrielle.
“This must be Mrs. Monroe, right? So young and pretty.”
“But she looked kind of unfamiliar, I didn’t know which family’s daughter she was from?”
She brought up this question on purpose just to expose Gabrielle’s “weakness.”
In her opinion, for a woman to get Zachary so interested, she either had a powerful background.
