Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife

CHAPTER 978



Thank goodness for live streaming.

The online crowd erupted in heated debate, with comments flying across the screen faster than the eye could follow.

"Man, that girl is drop-dead gorgeous. 'A beauty beyond compare' is an understatement!"

"Does anyone know who she is? How did she get the five esteemed Collins boys and Romeo to bend over backward for her, quite literally."

"Isn't that the necklace Shirley left for her granddaughter-in-law, and the one Mrs. McMillian passed down to her daughter-in-law? Could she be Romeo's fiancée?"

"But if she's Romeo's fiancée, where does that leave Serena??"

"Such a grand event today, and no sign of Serena? Where is she?"

"Yeah, where did Serena go?"

"What on earth is going on? Could there have been a switch in fiancées?"

"No way! If there was a new fiancée, would both families be getting along like this?"

"To book an entire luxury hotel for the Collins family on New Year's Day so they can hold a press conference shows the families are close. But why are all the Collins brothers and Romeo bending over

to lift this girl's dress? That gesture is a clear sign of deference!"

Everyone was baffled by the situation, and the buzz had already crashed several social media platforms multiple times.

When the media on-site and the photographers snapped out of their daze, all they caught was their retreating figures entering the hotel.

Flashes kept going off as all the reporters swarmed in pursuit, but they were a step too late.

Rosemary, clad in an exquisite gown, entered the elevator, her elegant updo giving off an ethereal vibe,as if she were a celestial being untouched by worldly matters. Romeo and her five brothers lifted her gown's hem, escorting her into the elevator.

Outside the hotel, a parade of movers and shakers from various industries followed suit – some were relatives and friends of the Collins family, others belonged to Louisa's side of the family, and then there

were Rosemary's own friends and trusted associates.

Once everyone had arrived, the media was finally invited to the banquet hall. Unseen was the fairy-tale world that unfolded before their eyes.

A vast canopy of twinkling stars, spheres from the Milky Way, and glittering stars served as blessings,while luminescent, fluttering butterflies could be seen everywhere. An array of flowers combined to create grand visuals, and swathes of white lights constructed a castle.

The scattered starlight and the lunar haze gave the illusion of stepping into the most beautiful, pure, and romantic dreams of a young girl.

The media and photographers feverishly captured the scene.

The Collins family had outdone themselves, hosting two hundred tables for some sixteen hundred guests – aside from the hundred-plus reporters and handful of photographers, everyone else was connected to the Collins and McMillian families or to Rosemary herself.

The lights dimmed, highlighting Kenneth and Louisa as they rose and walked down a luminescent path,flanked by tables, towards the dreamlike circular stage at the far end, with the white castle and fantastical stars as their backdrop.

Kenneth, visibly moved, took the microphone, his eyes surveying the gathered crowd.

"First off, I want to express my gratitude to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this press conference hosted by the Collins family. We invited you here today because we have a major announcement to make."

Louisa stood poised on the stage, declaring, "I, Louisa, along with Kenneth, am thrilled to announce that Rosemary Collins, our daughter who was lost to us for eighteen years, was found and returned to us six months ago."

With those words, the entire assembly was taken aback, and even the media didn't miss a beat,snapping away at this explosive revelation.

They had a daughter who'd been lost?

When did this happen, and why was it only being announced now?

"Rose, come up here," Louisa beckoned with a loving smile, her eyes soft with maternal affection and tenderness.

The spotlight found Rosemary, her features as perfect as a painting, exuding an air of cool elegance and an otherworldly charm that was both high-class and captivating.

Romeo and Rosemary's brothers bent down to adjust her dress, and then watched her take each step towards the stage with a mix of pride and anticipation.

No one in the crowd had anticipated that Kenneth and Louisa, the town's golden couple, had a daughter who had been lost to the world for eighteen years. And no one could have imagined just how strikingly beautiful she would be. She had a serene grace about her, an air of noble elegance that seemed otherworldly, sparking a buzz of conversation.

"She's absolutely stunning. To think she could look so regal after being away for so long."

"That grace is just unparalleled."

"Royal blood flows in her veins. She was never destined for mediocrity. But where's Serena today? I haven't seen her around."

"Yeah, where is Serena? Could it be she's not their biological child?"

"You think there's some soap opera twist here?"

The chatter reached Rosemary's ears, but she didn't show the slightest concern. Instead, she approached her parents with a sweet and compliant demeanor.

Kenneth, unable to hide his excitement, made the introduction. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce our long-lost daughter, Rosemary."

As his words faded, the room erupted in enthusiastic applause, a symphony of genuine warmth that was as stirring as a powerful piece of music.

"Rose, why don't you say hello to everyone?" Louisa said, her eyes soft and inviting.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Rosemary."

Her voice was as melodious as a string instrument, touching everyone's heart.

She wasn't only a sight to behold, her voice was equally enchanting.

Again, applause filled the room.

Once the applause died down, Louisa began to recount the past events.

"Years ago, I was passing through a small town when my water broke. I gave birth in a local clinic, but then a fire broke out. In the chaos, I accidentally took someone else's child to the Collins household, and we named her Serena."

Watching the live broadcast, Serena was mortified. Louisa had laid bare her origins, leaving her completely exposed.

Why?

Why couldn't they leave her even a shred of dignity?

The guests were stunned, not expecting such a backstory.

The crowd was shocked. Rosemary and Serena had been living under the same roof for six months.

The Collins family had kept this secret incredibly well.

When Serena was watching the live broadcast, her face turned ghostly pale, as if she knew what was coming next.
