Chapter 558
Chapter 558:
Ellie chuckled and said, “I didn’t even realize I had so many old friends. Do acquaintances count as old friends too p>
Ellie had once held the title of First Lady of Critport, and her acquaintances spanned the entire city’s elite families, too numerous to name.
“Let’s go inside,” Kaiden said. Seemingly unfazed, he led Ellie by the hand into the venue.
Having a large crowd also had its perks. From today onward, it would be clear that Ellie was taken.
Jerome observed Kaiden holding Ellie’s hand, as if she were a precious child, and couldn’t help but feel moved. When Kaiden showed affection, it was genuinely heartfelt.
“Congratulations p>
“Ellie, you hid it so well p>
“Here’s to a lifetime of joy, and may you be blessed with a son soon p>
“Is Mr. Thorpe’s leg all better now? That’s wonderful p>
“Mr. Thorpe and Ms. Gordon, you two are clearly perfect for each other!” As Ellie and Kaiden made their entrance, they were showered with well-wishes from every side.
Kaiden answered with a nod, “My wife is gentle and kind, and please take good care of her in the future p>
What he really meant was that his wife was soft-hearted and could be taken advantage of. So if anyone dared to do so, Kaiden wouldn’t hesitate to get revenge.
Everyone fell silent. What did he just say?
Gentle and kind?
Was Kaiden really talking about Ellie here?
Wasn’t she the one who got into that bar fight at Rich Bar?

And she was also the one who, with Baylee, could shut anyone down before they even had a chance to speak?
Despite the recent portrayal of Ellie as somewhat deserving of sympathy, had she truly faced any unfair treatment? Not at all!
A playful shout stood out amidst the crowd. Susanna, linking arms with Daniel, gave Ellie a playful wink. “Mr. Lambert couldn’t wait to get here once he heard what was happening,” Jerome leaned over to whisper to Kaiden.
Kaiden just nodded. It was probably Susanna who was eager to come, not Daniel. Daniel pampered his not-so-wise fiancée endlessly, showing a lack of principles.
Kaiden, who usually kept to himself and didn’t mingle much with this crowd, mainly conversed with a select few, including Jerome, the Stephens brothers, Levy, who had just returned, and some other family heirs from their respective families.
Susanna pulled Ellie aside for a chat, and soon a group of socialites gathered around:
“El, it’s been ages, but you haven’t changed a bit, still stunning p>
“Ms. Rayne, you’re making me blush. I think you’re the beauty here p>
