A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah)

Chapter 206

Dixie hesitated briefly but quickly recovered, saying smoothly, "Of course, Ms. York, Ms. Stuart, please come with me. The founder of our company and a few directors are waiting over there.

A macking voice cut through the an. "Oh, so she's not Mrs. Linden anymore? That was quick. Not long ago, she was bragging everywhere that she was the real Mrs. Linden."

I turned, my gaze sharpening Jocelyn, dressed in a loose-fitting dress, was protectively cradling her belly, her arm licked with Elijah's. The one making the sneering remark was none other than Eveln. Evelyn hovered next to focelyn, her eyes glancing at me with an amused plint

When Jocelyn noticed me, her eyes briefly widened before she nested closer to Elijah with a delicate, almost fra

"Elijah," she said sweetly, "why didn't you tell me ts. York would be here?

Elijah, clearly not expecting me, frowned. "What are you doing here?"

I raised an eyebrow, matching his tone. "And why are you here? This brand showcase wasn't supposed to invite you, was in?"

Thated that I couldn't remember everything If my memory were tact, 1 would've known exactly how to make Elijah leave. This pair could never leave me alone.

Iped at Tek, hoping to steer clear of them, but she stood her ground, a smirk tugging at her lips as she stared at Jocelyn.

"Oh, Mr Cornell," Teri said with a sarcastic smile, "how's that injury on your forehead?"

Jocelyn, early uncomfortable with the confrontation in such a public setting, touched her forehead and murmured, "It's much better. The doctor said it almost affected my brain.

Terilet out a cold chuckle. "Well, it's good Mr. Linden rushed you to the hospital. Any later, and your injuries might have healed on their own."

Jocelyn's face teisted, caught between embarrassment and resentment._

Elijah's eyes flashed, and he spoke in a low, irritated tone. "Ms. Stuart, if there's nothing else, don't block the way "

Teriwain't one to back down, especially when provoked. With her hands on her hips, she steered. "Mr. Linden, I didn't even get to ask why you brought this mistress to a brand showcase."

Jocelyn gasped, swaying slightly as her eyes filled with tears. "Elijah.. she... she called me a mistress......."

Ignoring her, Teri pressed on, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on Elijah. "Well, Mr. Linden? I'm still waiting for an answer.

Elijah scowled. "The FR department at Silverwood called my office, inviting me to attend. So, here I am What's it to you, Ms. Stuart?

Teri turned to Dis. "Excuse me, but is it possible that your PRteam invited the wrong person? Ms. York is the sponsor for Silverwood's brand showcase, so since when did Mr. Linden become the VIP?"

By now, guests invited by the be and were beginning to arrive, and several people looked over, curious about the commotion at the entrance.

Elijah's expression darkened, his eyes blazing as he looked at me."Ariana, do you really have to make a scene right now?"

I felt a wave of nausea rise within me. Making a scene? At this point, Elijah still thought I was trying to create drama for his beloved Jocelyn

I shot back coldly, "M Linden, this isn't about making a scene.

ga scene. I am the sponsor for Silverwood. I hand their brand showcase every year.

"When Silverwood called Linden Group, I thought it might be a good PR opportunity for your company. But to clarify, this is not your company's sponsorship. In other words, you don't have any right to be here."
