Chapter 173
The incident at the banquet quickly spread among the upper class in Arnelo.
Almost no one could understand what Cynthia had done.
Moira had been in the limelight at the banquet, be it her stunning outfit when she and Barclay appeared, the 80–million–dollar “Ethereal” on her neck, or the matter between her and Cynthia.
The “Ethereal” helped Moira attract much more attention. Someone took a photo and posted it on social media. In just three hours, the topic of “Ms. Jimenez’s marriage” ranked as the fifth trending topic.
Moira had just finished drying her hair when she saw the messages from Juliet on the phone.
Juliet: [Baby, you’re on the trending topic! Look at these photos!]
[You looked so fucking gorgeous tonight!]
[Did you meet Alfie? If he saw you, he would probably regret it so much that he couldn’t fall asleep tonight! Just thinking about it makes me feel good!]
[Damn, your husband gave you an ‘Ethereal‘ just like that? Amazing!]
[That necklace is worth more than 80 million dollars! How does it feel to have it hanging around your neck?]
[I think your husband is awesome! You married the right person!]
[What trick your love rival was playing? I’ve read popular romance novels for fifteen years and still can’t understand her intention!]
[According to the usual plot, wasn’t Cynthia going to frame you for pushing her into the swimming pool? How could she admit that she fell in by herself and that you saved her? I even suspect that the person she likes isn’t Mr. Covington, but you!]
Moira looked through Juliet’s messages, and then she realized that she was on the trending topic.
She was embarrassed and replied to Juliet: [The necklace is not for me. I just had to wear it tonight. As for Cynthia… To be honest, I don’t understand what kind of tricks she’s playing, either.]
Juliet replied quickly: [Isn’t the necklace for you? But now, all the netizens are saying that it is a wedding gift for you…]
The “Ethereal” was not a gift, which was a little awkward.
Moira was quite optimistic. She texted: [Even if he dared to give me a necklace worth more than 80 million dollars, I wouldn’t dare to accept
Juliet: (That’s truel Speaking of Cynthia, I’ve never heard of her methods. She is not an ordinary woman!]
When Moira was about to reply “I think so too“, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Only she and Barclay were in the villa. It was obvious that it was Barclay.
Moira felt a little embarrassed. She quickly put down her phone and went to open the door.
Chapter 173
The moment the door opened, she was greeted by the refreshing fragrance on Barclay’s body.
Barclay had just taken a shower. His hair, which was usually meticulously styled, was dripping with water and messy, bringing him a hint of
unruliness.
A drop of water fell from the tip of his hair and hit Moira’s check.
It was cold.
However, Moira’s face burned as she looked at Barclay in embarrassment. “Mr. Covington, what’s the matter?”
Barclay handed her the item in his hand. “The necklace.”
Moira lowered her head. It was the “Ethereal.”
She blinked. “Are there any more soirees tomorrow?”
“No.”
“Then I don’t need this necklace anymore…
Barclay raised his eyebrows. “You don’t like it?
“Is it for me?”
Moira pointed at herself in disbelief,
