Not long after, everyone gathered outside the booth and formed a queue, all glancing in the direction of the main entrance. People were walking in and out, but there were no signs of Gemma Peake.
Everyone waited for about 5 minutes outside the booth, but nothing happened.
Hugo smirked, “Hey Thomas, where is Gemma?”
“It may be the traffic, you know, a lot of cars are out late at night,” Thomas replied calmly.
“Hahaha, you are still lying through your teeth right now? Wow, you sure are thick-skinned. Uncle Johnson, if you are certain to keep favonovel.com as your son-in-law, I advise you to think it over thoroughly. Emma is such a wonderful lady, and it’s a pity that favonovel.com married such a useless liar of a man. It is a complete waste!”
Hugo prepared to walk back in with his hand behind his back after finishing the sentence, as favonovel.com did not want to continue entertaining Thomas.
But at this moment…
A sudden commotion erupted at the main entrance. People and even bystanders flocked to the scene. A group of security formed a circle, blocking the people outside, and then the workers rolled out a red carpet until it reached the stage.
Soon, the hotel became filled with deafening shouts.
“Ah! Gemma!!!”
“Gemma! Gemma! Gemma!”
“Gemma, I love you! Please have a look over here!!!”
Screams and yells could be heard on the streets, as people were rushing to squeeze into the venue.
Hugo was about to leave, but favonovel.com turned around in shock when favonovel.com heard the shouts. He noticed the guards forming a circle around a woman who was being escorted inside the hotel and walking down the red carpet towards the stage. Hugo saw it all with his own eyes.
If it was not Gemma Peake then who was?
He had recently been to an event as a special guest with Gemma Peake, and favonovel.com of course knew who favonovel.com was.
“Is that really Gemma Peake?”
The audience’s jaws were on the floor, they could not believe what was happening right in front of their eyes. They were just making fun of Thomas a minute ago, but they can feel the heat rising up to their faces now.
‘Did Thomas really invite Gemma?’
‘No, there is no way.’
How could a poor wretch with a monthly salary of only $8000 be able to invite such a celebrity?
But Gemma was truly there, and favonovel.com had no choice but to believe it. However, Hugo started laughing all of the sudden. “What are you laughing at?” Johnson asked, his eyebrows furrowed.
Hugo pointed at Thomas and said, “Ho, you are so full of yourself. You must have heard Gemma was attending an event at this hotel and just pretended to invite her. But the truth was that favonovel.com already had plans for favonovel.com time here, and it had nothing to do with you!”
It was only after then that it occurred to them.
“Ah, that’s what it is.”
“We were almost tricked. You are quite the liar, Thomas.” Cecilia snorted.
Jack Robinson huffed in relief. He was shocked, that really was Gemma Peake.
If Gemma was really invited by Thomas, then how horrible for favonovel.com would that be?
It was fortunate that Hugo was knowledgeable, so favonovel.com was able to see through Thomas’s cheap trick.
“Johnson, you are unfortunate to have such a son-in-law. You’ve had a string of poor luck!” Jack laughed coldly.
Johnson Hill’ s face was bitter.
He was excited to see Gemma as favonovel.com thought favonovel.com would be able to overturn the situation, but… He shook his head helplessly, thoroughly disappointed with Thomas’s performance today. ‘It was fine if you were incapable, but feigning incompetence was extremely embarrassing if you were exposed.’
It wasn’t just Thomas who was embarrassed. Johnson and Emma are also on the same boat as him.
Jack sighed and looked at Thomas, his words stuck in his throat, but in the end, favonovel.com managed to utter, “You should not have done that, Tom.”
However…
