My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

Erica glanced at Kora and Kora’s mother for a moment before turning back and continuing to select the food she wanted to eat. Today, Erica didn’t need to say anything; she just came to attend the party, eat her fill, and then leave. That’s what her mother-in-law assured Erica before entering the event.

“Hey, I’m talking to you,” Kora said angrily. “Are you deaf or mute?”

Erica pretended not to hear and calmly walked over to the other side to get a piece of chocolate cake.

“Mom, look, Erica really doesn’t care about us.” Kora turned to her mother and complained. “Why did she show up here? She’s ruining our dinner.”

“I will handle her,” Mrs. Lani declared fiercely, advancing towards Erica.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Hey Erica, have you forgotten about what happened last time at the shopping center? Do you want me to make you feel so ashamed that you’ll want to crawl into the ground?” Mrs. Lani stood next to Erica, uttering a threatening remark.

Despite the provocation, Erica chose to ignore it. She calmly continued to chew on the cake. Erica’s actions enraged both Kora and Kora’s mother.

“Hey Erica, what are you doing here?” Kora questioned.

“Are your eyes blind and you can’t see?” Erica casually replied, “I’m here, of course, to attend the party.”

“Don’t lie. How could someone like you be invited to such a luxurious party of the rich?” Kora said sarcastically, “You are so hungry that you have nothing to eat, so you sneak in here to steal food, right? But admitting to stealing but dressing so well, right? Is this dress a big sale, or did you steal it from some fashion store?”

“I am openly eating, not sneaking around. It seems like your eyes have a problem, Kora. And it’s a serious problem,” Erica calmly responded. “As for this dress, my husband had it made by a famous designer. Is there any problem with that?”

“Oh my goodness, she’s so delusional, it’s really pitiful,” Kora mocked.

“That’s true.” Mrs. Lani agreed with her daughter’s observation.

“I have taken the dishes I wanted. Excuse me, I will leave now.” Erica calmly took the plate with all the food she desired and left.

However, Kora does not allow it. She grabs Erica’s hand to hold her back.

“What do you want?” Erica raises an eyebrow and asks. Despite feeling uncomfortable, Erica cannot show her annoyance outwardly, all for the sake of ensuring her children will always be happy and not hot-tempered in the future.

“You can’t go.”

“Why not?”

“Because I like it.” Kora is provocative.

“Let go,” Erica calmly demands.

“Do not let go; what are you going to do to me?” Kora arrogantly challenges As the incident takes place away from the central area and it is not yet mealtime, there are no bystanders nearby.

Without saying a word, Erica decisively pushes Kora’s hand away. Underestimating Erica’s strength and wearing high heels, Kora stumbles and almost falls to the floor. With anger driving her, Kora impetuously rushes forward and pushes Erica. Mrs. Lani calmly stands by, observing the situation without taking any action to intervene against Kora.

Erica jerks, causing the plate filled with food in her hand to fall to the floor, creating a loud noise that attracts everyone’s attention. As a few pairs of eyes turn towards the food counter, they witness Erica struggling and on the verge of falling. Mrs. Hani panics and exclaims, “Oh, Erica, my daughter-in-law! Someone, please help my daughter!”

As soon as Mrs. Hani finishes her plea, a familiar figure appears with lightning speed.

And there, Ansel’s arms safely enveloped Erica. Mrs. Hani let out a sigh of relief at Ansel’s timely appearance. Meanwhile, a smile of delight adorned Erica’s face as she embraced Ansel.

“My beautiful lady, are you alright?” Ansel sweetly asked, and Erica replied bashfully, “I feel fortunate and honored to fall into the arms of a prince.”

Ansel responded by giving Erica a radiant smile. Observing the interaction between the two, some young women present at the party couldn’t help but feel envious of Ansel’s handsomeness and Erica’s charm, and Kora was among them. Not to mention that Mrs. Lani, who was already angry, was now glaring at Erica for receiving help from a man. On top of that, Erica even flirted with that person.

Mrs. Hani quickly walked over to Erica, and many people became curious and gathered around the area. The sudden shift in the situation made Kora and Mrs. Lani slightly uneasy.

“What’s happening?” Mrs. Mina spoke up, voicing the question on everyone’s mind.

“Nothing happened, mother.” Kora quickly provided an answer. “It was just an unintentional accident. Please don’t worry.”

“Are you sure?” Mrs. Mina expressed some doubt.

“Of course it’s true,” Kora maintained her deception.

“The girl pushed Erica to the ground,” Ansel interjected loudly, his gaze firmly fixed on Kora.

“What?!” Mrs. Mina exclaimed in shock. She looked at Ansel and then stared intently at Kora.

“That’s not true, mother. Don’t believe what this man is saying.” Kora denied the accusation.

“Why are you lying?” Kora interrogated Ansel. “What’s your intention?”

“I saw it with my own eyes,” Ansel calmly asserted.

“Liar! Stop making baseless accusations. Otherwise, I will sue you for defamation.” Kora, accustomed to lying, insisted on arguing back to prove her innocence.

“What is going on here?” Mrs. Mina raised her voice, demanding an explanation from both sides.

“As I said,” Ansel replied indifferently, repeating his earlier statement.

“Kora, quickly explain to me what happened. Tell me the truth,” Mrs. Mina requested Kora to account for the situation.

Ansel didn’t intervene and allowed Kora to speak freely. He wanted to see what kind of story Kora would come up with to avoid being accused.

“Well, here’s what happened. I caught her red-handed sneaking in here to steal food, so I cleverly chased her away. Out of pity for her being pregnant, I even gave her a plate of food. As I was leaving, she slipped and fell. I tried to catch her, but this man here was faster.” It was unbelievable that Kora could come up with such an absurd and laughable story. Kora thought that everyone could be deceived and manipulated, just like Max and Mrs. Mina.

Upon hearing the story, everyone believed that Kora was kind-hearted, which was exactly what Kora wanted. Unfortunately, in the presence of people who leaned towards reason and logic, Kora’s strategies were completely futile.

“Who did you say stole the food?” Mrs. Hani angrily spoke up. “My daughter-in-law?” It was only now that Kora and Mrs. Lani noticed the presence of Erica’s mother-in-law. A hint of surprise appeared on their faces.

“Indeed,” Kora, still unaware of the situation, confidently affirmed.

“Don’t you see how illogical and nonsensical your story is?”

“No,” Kora replied firmly.

“Is this how the Murphy family treats their guests?” Mrs. Hani angrily criticized, “Considering customers as thieves?”

“Please calm down, Madam,” Mrs. Mina tried to soothe the tense situation. “It was just a misunderstanding.”

“Confusion? What kind of confusion? Can you explain to me what nhm ln means in this context?” Mrs. Hani’s voice carried a sarcastic tone.

“Please stay calm. It could simply be… Kora might not have known that Erica was a guest and thought that Mrs. Mina had attempted to persuade her but was unsuccessful.

“Are you suggesting that anyone who enters here should be suspected as a thief?” Mrs. Hani interrupted with sharp reasoning.

“I didn’t mean that.” Mrs. Mina tried to explain, but Ansel’s mother insisted on causing difficulties.

“So where does the problem lie, then? This is a grand reception, and the organization needs to be professional, especially at the guest reception area. Everyone entering here requires an invitation card; there’s no way an unauthorized intruder could get in. It’s strange that such a simple thing couldn’t be distinguished. Is this a case of ignorance, not knowing anything, or is someone deliberately trying to harm my daughter-in-law?”

“I understand your point, madam, but please…”

“I cannot accept this.” Mrs. Hani raised her voice and declared, “I almost lost my grandchild because of the actions this girl caused. And don’t ever expect me to overlook this matter.”

Mrs. Mina is completely submissive in the face of the dominant demeanor and presence of her mother-in-law, Erica.
