Chapter 332 Surprise

Leona had known Cloris for a long time, even though they had never met each other. However, even
Leona couldn't help feeling annoyed at Cloris for stealing her thunder.

Leona anxiously wanted to meet the person who dared to compete with Lin Jewelry.

Rumour has it that Cloris looked a lot like Emily. This made Leona want to see Cloris with her own eyes
even more. 'So what?' Leona sneered in her mind.

Leona elegantly walked over to Cloris with her high heels and a glass of red wine in her hand.

Meanwhile, Cloris was busy chatting with the CEO of some company, when suddenly she had a
foreboding feeling that someone was staring at her. She politely asked to be excused and then ended
the conversation.

Leona watched Cloris from behind and mocked her in her mind, 'Why don't you turn around to look at
me? You coward!'

Suddenly, Cloris turned around elegantly and faced Leona, as if she had read her mind. Caught by
surprise, Leona stood there frozen, like a deer caught in headlights.

She was the spitting image of Emily!

'How did she become Miss Cloris?' Leona wondered.

The others may have mistaken the person standing in front of her for someone else, but Leona could
never make the same mistake as everybody else! After all, they were friends for so many years. She
could never forget her so easily!

Emily never died in that plane crash!



Leona watched as Cloris walked towards her with a dampened smile on her face which clearly
indicated that she was who Leona thought she was– Emily!

"Ms Lin, I've heard so much about you," said Cloris. Emily politely shook Leona's hands with
confidence.

Leona took a closer look at Emily's delicate face and said word by word, "Emily? I know you are
Emily..."

Cloris drew her hand back and said, "Emily? I keep hearing from people that we look a lot like each
other."

"No. You don't just look like her. You are E..."

"Miss Leona," Cloris interrupted Leona. "Have you forgotten your manners? Don't forget where you are
now," she continued, with a cold expression on her face.

In the blink of an eye, Leona stood back and clenched her teeth to hold back her shock and
displeasure.

Cloris moved one step closer towards Leona and whispered, "Long time no see, Rose."

In a dramatic turn of events, Cloris declared that she was aware of the fact that the manager of Lin
Jewelry was actually Rose who had changed her name to Leona.

Leona's face fell faster than a corpse in cement boots, the moment she heard Emily utter her real
name. Unable to comprehend what had just happened, she cursed in her mind, 'Emily, you've ruined
my life once. Haven't you had enough? You bitch!'

Speechless, Leona stood as if paralyzed from the neck up, but Emily did not care about any of that and
continued, "Life really is such a mystery. Anyway, we recognized each other at first sight."



There was a time when Emily cherished their friendship, but unfortunately, Rose betrayed her trust and
returned the favor with resentment and harm.

"What on earth are you doing here?" asked Leona. Desperately trying to make sense of it all, Leona
tried her best to calm her nerves. However, she still had a few unanswered questions in her mind, 'Why
was Emily still alive?

She should have been dead! What a lucky bitch! How could she survive that terrible plane crash?'

"I just want to tell you one thing. You'd better stay away from me," suggested Emily. Emily lowered her
head and swayed the glass of red wine gracefully, but her eyes were as cold as the arctic winter. "I've
left my previous life in the past, but I'm not sure whether I will unveil the truth someday, so you'd better
watch out, ' Emily threatened.

They spoke in a low voice, just so no one else could hear them. On the surface they kept a calm
composure, hiding away all the hatred and resentment they had for each other.

"That's exactly what I wanted to say to you," said Leona. With a disappointed look on her face, she
continued, " What a pity that you did not die!"

" Yeah. You must be very disappointed, right? The show isn't over yet. There will be much more later,"
said Emily, with a menacing smirk to follow up with what she said.

Leona seemed to have lost herself in thoughts as she stared at Emily. Eventually, she sneered and
said, "Well, you look confident. There's a surprise for you later!"

Surprise? Emily smiled back and said, "Well then, let's wait and see."

Boiling with anger, Leona clenched her fist so hard, her beautiful nails dug into her palms. 'Emily,
you've changed a lot. You are very different from the Emily I once knew.'



Leona did not want to admit it, but she couldn't deny that Emily was a completely transformed person.
Now there was an air of calmness in her disposition and she carried herself with grace and dignity.

If Leona had not seen her face, she would have definitely mistaken her for another noble person!

'Miss Cloris of Lu family?

Emily, you are still so lucky. Damn it! But I will destroy every bit of your luck!' Leona plotted in her mind.

From an outsider's perspective, their short talk was just like a friendly social routine. However, even if it
didn't seem like a friendly chat, no one would be stupid enough to interrupt them.

"Let's wait and see. I hope you can still remain calm later," said Leona. Having her spirits dampened,
Leona brought the conversation to an end and walked away.

Emily looked up Leona once on the internet and instantly caught that it was Rose. Regrettably, Leona
had not done the same thing. But what did she mean by "surprise"? Was it a well-planned plot or a
quick fix?

'Let's wait and see, ' Emily said to herself.

Emily got rid of the glass of red wine and began to socialize with the other guests. During the banquet,
many people approached her to speak with her and she tried to be social but for some reason she
couldn't help herself from feeling disappointed.

Emily saw neither Jack nor Jacob in this business banquet.

It came as no surprise, since the Gu family was such an important family, they didn't need to come to
such a banquet to seek other people's cooperation. For them it was always the other way around.



Perhaps the fact that neither of them showed up in front of Emily was the best outcome she could have
hoped for.

What was Emily looking for? 'This is not what Cloris would do!' Emily persuaded herself.

Before long, the mere sight of person stepping in from the door changed Emily's mood almost
immediately. She was white as chalk. Her eyes and her mouth were frozen wide open in an expression
of stunned surprise.

The silver dress she was wearing, kissed the woman's milky white skin like a lover's embrace. With
long black hair, and her head held high, she waltzed on with an effortless saunter. Alluringly, she would
blink her sparkling eyes from time to time, allowing her eyelashes to flutter like the wings of a butterfly.

Gobsmacked, Emily gasped for air, as she stared at the person who had the exact same face as hers.
For brief moment, she thought she was looking at herself from a few years ago.

'So, that's the "surprise" Leona was talking about?' Emily wondered.

She saw a woman who had the exactly same face with herself!

Coincidentally, the woman also noticed Emily when she walked through the door. The world around
them had fallen into silence, as they stared into each other's eyes from a distance.

All of sudden, everyone's attention got dragged towards them.

"Oh, my God! They look exactly alike!

Apart from the minor differences, they could easily pass as twins!" someone said in a low voice.

"The woman dressed in silver is the daughter of Tao family. Rumor has it that Emily was her twin
sister," another person commented.



"So what's the matter with the daughter of Lu family... When did Emily's face become so popular?" the
guests spoke among themselves.

Finally, Emily realized that the woman standing by the door was the well-known "Emily's twin sister",
her assistant had told her about.

'Well, well, well. This is quite interesting, ' Emily thought in her mind.

Emily noticed the woman's expression change from shocked to astonished. Soon, the woman gave
Emily a familiar menacing smile, which Emily thought was a contradiction to her elegant dress up, like a
poisonous flower blooming in the snow field.

Emily's heart trembled violently as she shook her head in utter disbelief. She stopped and drew a sharp
breath.

'Tina!

That is Tina! The horrid woman who killed my foster parents!

She is just standing there with no sign of remorse!' Emily yelled in her mind.
