My Fiancé Challenged A Poor Waitress To Dance—But He Didn't Know Her Real Identity
Previously: When a wealthy heir publicly humbles a waitress at his engagement party, he thinks it is a harmless game. But when she accepts the challenge, a dark secret is finally exposed.
Ten minutes passed, and the tension in the ballroom grew palpable. Alex stood near the dance floor, whispering to Sarah, a confident smirk plastered across his face. He assumed Chloe had fled the building in shame. But suddenly, the grand double doors at the back of the hall swung open.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Chloe stood in the doorway, completely transformed. She wore a stunning, high-slit red satin gown that hugged her curves and flowed behind her like liquid fire. Her blonde hair was styled in elegant waves, and her lips were painted a bold crimson. She walked forward with the effortless grace of a prima ballerina, her posture perfect, her eyes locked onto Alex.
Alex’s smirk vanished. He took a step back, his face turning pale.
"Wait. You..."he whispered, unable to finish his sentence. He had expected to humiliate a broken waitress, but instead, he was looking at the breathtaking woman he had abandoned two years ago.
The Secret Revealed
But the real shock wave hit when another figure stepped out from behind the doors. It was Julian Vance, the billionaire owner of the Grand Plaza Hotel and one of the city's most powerful venture capitalists. Julian was also the primary investor backing Alex’s family business—and, unknown to Alex, he was Chloe’s older brother. Julian walked up to Chloe, gently placing a hand on her waist, and stared down at Alex with cold, calculating eyes.
"I believe my sister accepted your challenge, Alex,"Julian said, his voice echoing in the silent ballroom. Sarah gripped Alex's arm, her eyes wide with confusion.
"Alex, what is he talking about? Who is this girl?"she demanded.
Julian stepped closer.
"Two years ago, a hit-and-run driver left my sister for dead on a rainy street, ending her dance career. The driver stole her savings and fled the country. We've been looking for that driver ever since, Alex. And today, we finally found the registration for the black sports car involved in the crash."Alex began to sweat profusely, his eyes darning frantically around the room.
