Chapter 508
Valerie walked in holding Matthew’s arm like a princess. As soon as she appeared, she outshone all the actresses present.
Angel clenched her fists tightly, her eyes almost blazing with anger. It was not that she had never thought of borrowing the gown, but she had never been able to.
She never imagined that the gown would be on Valerie, wondering if Valerie had played some tricks to let Matthew borrow it for her sake!
Everyone discussed animatedly, guessing Valerie’s identity. At that moment, Rhett and the others walked over.
Rhett greeted respectfully, “Mr. Grant, what an eye–opener to us all. I wonder who this beautiful lady beside you is. Miss, are you interested in being the female lead in my next movie?”
Rhett took a fancy to Valerie at a glance. With her looks and figure, she was at the peak of the entertainment industry.
If she were to act in it, even if she was nothing but a pretty face, she would still attract the audience.
With Rhett’s sharp eyes, he knew Valerie was a natural beauty, who had never had plastic surgeries. She was indeed a born beauty!
Matthew smiled. “She’s my wife, Valerie.”
Matthew’s voice was steady and powerful. The introduction undoubtedly dropped a heavy bomb on the scene, causing them to fall silent.
A few seconds later, the venue erupted.
Someone cried in pity, “What? Mr. Grant’s wife! Mr. Grant is married!”
A young actress sighed, “Oh my god! My heart is broken. Mr. Grant is married!”
Another chimed in, “No way! Didn’t they say Mr. Grant had a thing for Miss Santos and that was why he invested in ‘Once Upon A Time‘ without hesitation?”
A sweet voice joined the discussion. “Maybe it’s just someone’s wishful thinking? After all, Mr. Grant has never clarified it in public.
“It seems Mr. Grant is in love with Mrs. Grant! I wonder who Mrs. Grant is. She’s too pretty. They’re perfect for each other!”
Although stunned, Rhett smiled and complimented, “Mr. Grant and Mrs. Grant are a match made in heaven! A perfect match!”
Someone echoed, “Absolutely. They’re a match made in heaven, a loving couple!”
“Look at them. They’re wearing his–and–hers outfits. They are both in black. Mr. Grant’s diamond collar pin and Mrs. Grant’s earrings are lovers‘ designs from Armani!”
“This detailed design is simply amazing!”
One staff started, “Today is the promotional event for ‘Once Upon A Time. The red rose petals on Mrs. Grant’s waist are designed to match the
occasion.”
An investor teased, “No wonder Mr. Grant has kept Mrs. Grant a secret. Who would be willing to bring out such a beautiful wife? Of course, he would hide her at home!”
Valerie was gracious, a smile on her face. She was polite and distant.
It was her first time at such a banquet, but Matthew was there for her. She went from being nervous to being at ease, which surprised Matthew. Matthew thought that Valerie was cleverer than he had thought.
When Angel heard those voices, she could not help but laugh coldly in anger, complaining softly, “Damn it! Nonsense. Valerie is just nothing but a country bumpkin without parents!”
Her eyes were red with anger as she rolled her eyes at Valerie.
It was no wonder that Angel was angry, Moments ago, she was still the gem of the Santos family that everyone praised. Right then, Valerie’s appearance had stolen her show and overshadowed her as a vulgar country bumpkin.
In the similar black gown, Valerie was elegant, but her high slit made her look a little sluttish.
Not to mention that Angel was wearing so much jewelry. Even though Valerie had only a pair of earrings, she still looked noble and elegant. But

Chapter 508.
Angel looked like an over–dressed social butterfly.
In comparison, Angel was completely defeated!
Angel raised her head and downed the wine in her glass. She gripped the glass hard, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged.
She turned around and sat at the side, coldly watching Valerie surrounded by people.
What was the big deal?
She checked her phone. The studio was still marketing her beauty. Now that she read the press release, she felt it was ironic. But it was too late to ask the studio to withdraw it. She wondered how many reporters outside had captured them.
Angel’s face was ashen. The female celebrities beside her could not help but laugh when they saw that.
One of the actresses sneered. “Look, our top celebrity bought all the press releases for nothing today!”
Another actress teased. “Exactly. She’s so high–profile. I thought Mr. Grant’s date was her. It turns out that she’s just an escort!”
“Heh, what a waste of dressing up. The dress she’s wearing is borrowed. Someone had worn it before. She was the second to wear it but marketed herself to outshine everyone.”
“What a disgrace!”
Angel was even angrier. She had started preparing for the banquet a month back. From her hair to her heels, she did not dare to slack off at all.
She had spent a lot of money to buy jewelry, but when Valerie appeared, all her efforts were in vain.
Angel was so furious that she drank another glass of wine to cool it down.
At that moment, Fred was drunk, hugging two hot chicks and teasing them not far behind.

As a member of the Noria Group, although his status was not as noble and supreme as Matthew’s, Fred took on the family name Grant. He was also the son of the Grant family. Some young actresses wanted to suck up to him and tried their best to please them.
Fred stared at Matthew coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
Seeing that, the hot chick beside him took Fred’s arm to please him. “Mr. Fred, Mr. Grant is over there. Let’s go and say hi. You’re family!”
A few young actresses grabbed Fred and were about to walk toward Matthew. That was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity. If Matthew did them a tiny favor, they would make a name for themselves in the field.
In the entertainment industry, everyone was a sly dog, reading the room and playing it by ear. It was not easy to get such an opportunity, so they would not miss it.
Fred was instantly displeased, pushing them away. “Fuck off! I don’t need to greet him. If he sees me, he should come and greet me first.”
