Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)
Chapter 69 This Was the Doorman Who Parked My Car

Chapter 69 This Was the Doorman Who Parked My Car

Eric Smith, who had seen countless people, was also slightly taken aback by the cold powerful aura exuding from this man.

"Mr. Smith, look!" Someone stepped forward and handed him a mobile phone, "This is a photo of Miss Amelia Taylor and Mr. Noah Martinez!"

"Is this what you were talking about just now?"

"Yes!"

Eric looked up at Amelia.

Amelia remained silent and continued to look haughty.

Eric smiled politely at first, but soon the corners of his lips froze.

"Miss Taylor," he looked at her, "Are you sure this is Mr. Noah Martinez?"

Amelia's heart trembled, and she looked at Eric nervously.

"Of... of course it's him," She tried her best to keep calm. After all, no one would have seen Noah Martinez in person. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At least, no one who attended this small banquet would have seen him.

"Oh, that was Mr. Noah Martinez's reception banquet, and our family was invited to Emberfall." Amelia looked casually at her newly done acrylic nails and squinted at him, "The banquet was so grand that almost all the top tycoons from all over the world were there, which was really eye-opening!"

"Mr. Smith, I wonder if you have been there?"

Amelia snorted softly. Eric was somewhat influential in Eldoria, but his influence was not great. He could not even compare to the Taylors, so how could it be possible that he had met the Martinezes? Sure enough, Eric bowed with an awkward smile on his lips. "Miss Taylor is right. I am nobody, and I have never seen Mr. Noah Martinez in person."

"But..."

Eric chuckled, "I went to Emberfall many years ago, and I stayed in the Evergreen Manor Hotel which was owned by the Martinez family. The person who took picture with you was the doorman who parked my car!"

Amelia's face changed instantly. She looked at him blankly.

The smile on Eric's face became more and more unfathomable.

The people around were also stunned, and all casted strange glances at Amelia.

Amelia gathered herself together and argued resolutely, "Are you kidding, Mr. Smith? Years ago? Could you still remember what the doorman who parked your car for you many years ago looked like? Mr. Smith, you must have mistaken!"

She wanted to get back the mobile phone, but Eric stopped her. Eric looked at the photo carefully and smiled even more.

"I remember the mole under the corner of this man's left eye. I gave him a lot of tips because of his good service, and I also praised him in front of his superior. Now he is the lobby manager. And in order to thank me, he took the time to come to Eldoria the day before yesterday and brought me a gift. I also did my best as a local and took him to visit around Eldoria for a few days."

"It's such a coincidence that I also have a picture with him!"

Eric took out his mobile phone, and everyone surrounded him. The men in the two photos were indeed exactly the same!

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and ironic.

Amelia's face turned pale. She grabbed the phone and stared fiercely at the group of people around her with gritted teeth.

"Hey, Amelia," someone jeered lightly, "Did you get scammed?"

"Yeah, there are a lot of people like this on the Internet nowadays. They pretend to be the children of wealthy families to deceive young girls just because they are handsome!"

"That's unlikely. I believe in this man." Eric explained with a smile, "Besides, Miss Taylor is the daughter of a famous family, how could she be so incautious? There must have been some kind of misunderstanding!"

"You... you shut up!"

Amelia became furious out of embarrassment, so she turned and ran outside, but accidentally sprained her ankle in her high heel, which made her grimace in pain.

Stella was standing just beside her and looking coldly at her disgraced state.

Amelia had only herself to blame.

Stella pursed her lips. She did not sympathize with Amelia. It was just that her surname was also Taylor, so she and Amelia were one in the eyes of outsiders.

It was a shame to have such a family member.

Before Amelia left, she gave Stella a vicious glance, almost breaking her gritted teeth.

Eric smiled faintly and looked at the crowd, "It's just a misunderstanding. Let's move on!"

The banquet continued, but Stella was not in the mood. She was about to turn around when Eric called out to her from the back.

"Wait a second, Miss Stella."

Stella had no choice but to turn around and she greeted Eric.

Eric noticed that she was still wearing the emerald ring. His eyes suddenly changed, and then he looked at Liam who was beside her, "Why don't you introduce him?"

Stella had no choice but to pull Liam over and introduced him, "He is my husband, Liam Anderson. Liam, this is Mr. Smith who I mentioned to you. He is the CEO of the Starlight Group, Mr. Eric Smith." Eric reached out, but Liam took a step back silently and just nodded slightly.

From the moment Eric appeared, Liam had noticed that this person had a strange expression which his eyes seemed to be trying to see through something. With his hands behind his back, Liam slowly clenched his fists, feeling a little more vigilant.

Eric's hand stopped in mid-air. Liam's refusal to shake hands was unexpected for Eric. He let out a few hollow laughs, and immediately covered up his embarrassment by touching his hair.

"Darling," Stella said softly with a smile, "the last time Ava Brown tried to embarrass me, it was thanks to Mr. Smith, who recognized my emerald ring was genuine and exaggerated about it, that Ava didn't get her way."

"Don't mention it." While Eric smiled, he peeked at Liam, "I'm fond of jewelry appraisal. What I said was true, and I didn't exaggerate. Miss Taylor's ring is really a rare treasure!"

"I heard from Miss Taylor that this is a wedding ring?"

"Mr. Anderson," Eric looked at him meaningfully, "I wonder where did you buy such a beautiful emerald ring? My wife and I have been married for more than ten years, and I want to give her one for our anniversary!"

Stella was about to blurt out "This is my husband's family heirloom", but at that moment she keenly sensed that there was something wrong with Liam's expression.

He was on his guard and vigilant, and a deep look flashed across his eyes, just like the vigilance of a wild beast before it was in danger.

And there was something wrong with Eric's gaze as well...

Stella paused and smiled slightly. "I bought this with my husband."

Liam was taken aback for a moment. He did not expect her to react so quickly.

"Before we got married, my husband said that he would like to gift me a piece of jewelry, so we searched the streets and alleys, and we looked all over the jewelry shops and antique shops. Finally, we decided on this one. That shop was near Pine Avenue. The owner was an old lady, and the items in the shop were quite ancient."

What Stella said sounded true. Pine Avenue was a famous commercial street for antiques in Eldoria. There were a lot of shops in it of mixed authenticity, but there were many people who had actually bought treasures there.

Eric narrowed his eyes slightly, and the doubts in his eyes increased a bit.

Stella held Liam's arm, smiling brightly. "Darling, we were right in going to Pine Avenue. Who would have thought that we would find such a treasure? Hehe, we got a bargain!"
