Chapter 48

When someone mentioned the president, everyone was on the edge of their seats. They thought, “Goodness, is this the newly elected president?”

“Holy crap, the president is way too handsome!”

“If I could marry him, I would be willing to do anything!”

“I’d go broke for him!”

As they watched, the distinguished figure strode confidently toward Kylie. Maris quickly grabbed Kylie’s arm and whispered urgently, “Kylie, the president is definitely coming for you. You’ve got to make a good impression.”

Hearing this, everyone else was consumed with jealousy.

“Oh my! Why isn’t the president coming for me?”

“How did Kylie get so lucky to catch the president’s eye?”

Feeling the envious glances from those around her, Kylie felt a secret thrill under the spotlight. Although the light was against her and she couldn’t see his face clearly, she could tell he was definitely a hottie. That was the president. If he fell for her, Chase wouldn’t even be worth a penny.

With that thought, Kylie flashed a seductive smile and prepared to step forward. But the next second, Dominic walked right past her and stopped in front of Brynn. Kylie was stunned. So was everyone else. Only the senior officials nearby exchanged knowing smiles. Sure enough, this party was for the president to celebrate with his wife. Thankfully, they had all come. Otherwise, they’d surely offend the president who doted on his wife.

Dominic ignored everyone else and, upon reaching Brynn, gently draped his coat over her shoulders with a tender expression. “Cold?”

Hearing his soft voice, Brynn finally snapped out of it. “Didn’t you say you were busy and couldn’t make it?”

Dominic chuckled softly and lightly tapped Brynn’s forehead. “What’s more important than my wife?”

Brynn was used to Dominic’s sweet talk, but hearing it in front of everyone made her cheeks burn.

The people around them, however, were stunned by what they heard. “Wife? No way. Brynn’s husband is the president?”

“What? Brynn’s husband is actually the newly elected president? I’ve been rude to Brynn to her face so many times,” thought Kylie. Realizing what she had said earlier, Kylie darkened her face.

Others around her also remembered how Kylie had belittled Brynn’s husband and immediately shot her mocking glances.

“Kylie was just worried that Brynn would steal her man. But with such a handsome and amazing husband, Brynn doesn’t need to steal anyone!” someone mocked.

“She’s always trying to steal other people’s boyfriends. She probably thinks everyone’s like her. How ridiculous…” another one echoed.

Kylie’s already pale face turned even paler at the snickers around her.

“What president? Brynn is just a rural girl. There’s no way she could marry the president!” As Kylie panicked, Maris sneered.

Hearing Maris’s words, Kylie gradually calmed down. She thought, “That’s right. Even Chase doesn’t think much of Brynn. How can the president be interested in her? This guy is just a gigolo Brynn is keeping. He’s definitely not the president! I’ll expose her lies and make everyone in Portmare see the truth.”

With that thought, Kylie straightened her back and shouted at Brynn, “Brynn, you’re way too bold! How dare you let your gigolo husband pretend to be the president just to get attention?”

Brynn looked at Kylie like she was an idiot. She thought, ‘What? When did I ever say Dominic was the president?’

But Kylie thought Brynn was just intimidated and pressed on even harder. “Let me tell you. I met the president. The guy you’re keeping might look a little like him, but he’s nowhere near the same in terms of presence and charisma!”

Hearing this, the senior officials nearby almost spat out their drinks.
