Darling,No More Hiding novel Chapter 4

Jennifer's missing?

Mitchell's poker face finally showed a hint of emotion at this announcement.-

“What do you mean she's missing? How?” Montgomery jumped in shock. After all, Jennifer was dim-witted, and she could be in huge trouble in an unfamiliar environment.

“I spoke to security. They said it's likely we lost sight of her in the crowd.”

“Well, stop standing here! Get some men to look for her!” Montgomery coughed from rage.

The Orchid Ballroom soon descended into a frenzy as the celebration guests gossiped about the identity of Mitchell's wife.

With close to fifty security guards scouring the ballroom for her, it was obvious how important she was to Montgomery.

Ten minutes later, their search turned out to be fruitless.

Juliet saw an opportunity to make a dig at her and piqued up, “Mr. White, maybe she realized that she isn't a good match for Mitchell, so she—”

Her words were interrupted by a discordant tune coming from the piano on the ballroom stage.

Everyone turned to stare at the instrument, including Mitchell.

It turned out that a striking woman was responsible for the tuneless banging of the piano, and she was none other than the missing Jennifer.

“Old Mr. White, t-that looks like Mrs. White.”

The ballroom was abuzz at this revelation.

Many of the guests had heard of Montgomery's bizarre decision to marry his grandson to some dimwit, yet seeing Jennifer in person simply could not compare to their imagination.

The solemn atmosphere of the celebration became marred with harsh whispers of mockery.
