The Billionaire's Incredibly Talented Wife

The next morning, Alina woke up early. Drake had been brought home by Alina yesterday and had slept with her for the night. He thought Johnny would surely look for him when he found out he wasn't at home, but Johnny didn't call him at all.

Drake rubbed his eyes and asked, "Mommy, why are you up so early? Where are you going?"

Alina kissed Drake and gently said, "Sweetie, go back to sleep. Mommy has something to do."

She deliberately chose to come back on this day, not a random time but a carefully planned one. Today was her stepsister Sybil Woolery's wedding day, and she was definitely going to attend.

Alina took her mother's surname. When her mother married Glen Woolery, he was a poor guy who couldn't even afford college tuition. After Glen became wealthy, like many men, he started to change. When Alina was five, her mother had an accident, and Glen brought his mistress back home. That was when Alina found out Glen had an illegitimate daughter outside, who was already five years old, just two months younger than Alina.

Sybil was jealous of Alina being better than her in everything and being loved by the person Sybil liked. So, she wanted Alina to disappear forever and planned the car accident that year.

Alina almost died in the car accident but was saved by Johnny. However, she became a disfigured little fool. Sybil liked Kennard Mullins, and Kennard liked Alina. In the six years when Alina was believed to be dead, Sybil used various means and finally succeeded in getting engaged to Kennard. Today, they were getting married.

For this grand occasion, Alina naturally had to come to congratulate them.

Sybil had rented a mansion as the venue for the wedding. Sybil was in the dressing room, getting her beautiful makeup done. Her face was unable to conceal her joy.

'So what if Kennard likes Alina? Alina has been dead for so many years. Her car fell off a cliff, and her body was probably eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, leaving nothing but bones, Sybil thought triumphantly.

Standing right next to Sybil was Barbara.

"Sybil, you look stunning today. You're surely the most beautiful bride in the world," Barbara said.

Barbara and Sybil hadn't known each other for long, or more accurately, it was more of a one-sided admiration from Sybil's end toward Barbara. Today, after much pleading, Sybil finally managed to convince Barbara to attend her wedding. "Thank you, Barbara, but I can't hold a candle to your beauty. You're the big star," Sybil replied.

Not wanting to exchange compliments and smoothly changing the subject, Barbara said, "The ceremony is about to begin. Let's get ready."

Sybil had put a lot of effort into this wedding, inviting nearly all the media to witness her happiness. As the ceremony began, she held her father's hand, gazing at her fiancé ahead.

Kennard, in his suit, wore a less-than-joyful expression. To keen observers, it was clear he wasn't too willing and appeared more compelled than delighted.

Over the years, the Woolery family had thrived, gaining a significant position in Enkmelo. Kennard's choice to marry Sybil was solely due to the Mullins family's desire for a business alliance with the Woolery family.

Sybil smiled gently as she walked toward Kennard. This was the happiest day of her life. Step by step, she approached him, then linked her arm with his, receiving applause, envious looks, and words of blessings from others. "Sybil, congratulations on your wedding."

"Sybil, congratulations on marrying such a great man."

"Sybil, you're so happy, may it last forever!"

"Thank you, everyone," Sybil replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, Barbara observed Sybil and turned to the man next to her, saying, "Johnny, when I get married, I want a place even more beautiful than this, with more media coverage."

It had been quite an effort to persuade Johnny to accompany her to the wedding.

"Uh-huh." Johnny glanced at his phone, replying to work matters, hardly paying attention to what Barbara was saying.

Hearing that "Uh-huh," Barbara thought Johnny was responding to her. Excitedly, she continued, "Johnny, I want..."

At that moment, a voice interrupted her. "Congratulations, sis. Happy wedding day.".

The voice not only interrupted Barbara's unfinished sentence but also halted the ongoing wedding. People on stage showed expressions of shock upon seeing Alina walking in. Sybil, unable to find her voice, was frozen, as if seeing a ghost.

"A-Alina Chavez!"

She had thought Alina was long gone, unable to believe she had reappeared before her eyes.
