Chapter 44 Mr. Northwood Is Married Lily’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Calista and Lucian enter the living room together. She thought Calisa might come tonight. After all, it was Selena’s birthday. She’d assumed Lucian would not want to reveal their relationship, so he might stop Calista from coming. However, she didn’t expect Calista to come holding Lucian’s arms. It was as if she was declaring their intimate relationship. Everyone’s gaze shifted between Calista and Lily. Before Calista’s arrival, everyone had learned of Lily’s attendance. They were certain that Lily and Lucian’s relationship was at the point of marriage. But now, a different woman was by Lucian’s side. Lily could feel the crowd’s intense gaze on her, and her face flushed red. Just moments ago, these people were showering her with compliments. It was obvious they thought she was the future Mrs. Northwood. At this moment, someone approached to offer a toast to Lucian. He glanced at Calista and asked curiously, “Who is this, Mr. Northwood?” Lucian remained silent. Instead, the woman of the night, Selena, walked over. She linked her arm with Calista’s and introduced her to the guests. “This is my daughter–in–law, Calista.” Everyone was dumbfounded by her words. “Mr. Northwood is married?” “When did this happen? I’ve never heard of it before.” The crowd began to discuss heatedly, and Lily’s face turned red. She regret showing up tonight. Selena smiled and continued, “Young people nowadays like to keep a low profile, unlike our traditions. So we merely invited close relatives for the wedding reception.

I didn’t expect such an internationally renowned dancer to be a homewrecker. Look at her outfit today. She’s obviously trying to get on Mrs. Northwood’s nerves.” Upon hearing this, Calista finally noticed that Lily was wearing a dress similar to hers, a black satin dress with almost identical designs. The only difference was that Lily had a V–neck and an open back, while hers was strapless.
