The Substitute Bride: Doted by My billionaire Husband by Sumpto Midway
Chapter 18 A Slap in the face
Monica stared at Olive viciously. It was as though the dress was made with Olive’s
measurements.
Olive wasn’t just beautiful but she was alluring. If she wasn’t sent off to the orphanage,
she would have been. amongst the socialite in L.A.
Monica stepped forward and held Olive’s little hands affectionately, “Olive, you’ve
changed your dress. Come, let me introduce you to some friends. Hold on, why is your
dress so familiar? Isn’t this the princess dress that Gabriella is meant to wear tonight?”
Olive did not look surprised. She knew the big show was about to be begin.
Gabriella stared at Olive with wide eyes, “Olive, why are you wearing my princess
dress? Today’s my birthday, right? This LUMINOUS princess dress is a birthday gift
from my mother…”
Pearl quickly added, “Olive, you’re going too far! Today’s Gabriella’s birthday, why did
you steal her dress?” Gabriella’s friends knew that she had a LUMINOUS princess
dress which she was going to change into. So they begun whispering amongst
themselves.
“What’s wrong with this Olive girl? Was she trying to steal Gabriella’s clothes just to
“I heard she just returned from the orphanage, I’m certain she couldn’t get her eyes off
the dress. Hence, she stole it. What a shame!”
The stares fixated on Olive were now unpleasant. Patrick walked over to them. After the
previous incident, he really didn’t want any more drama that’ll embarrass him.
He glared at Olive and reprimanded in a low voice, “Olive, Today is Gabriella’s birthday

As she spoke, two drops of tears had rolled down her cheeks.
All the ladies and socialites glowered at Olive with contempt.
“Gabriella’s too kind. If it were me, she must pull off the dress!” A voice sounded.
“Yes, absolutely!”
The scene unfolded just as Monica had contrived. A satisfactory smirk appeared on her
face. “Olive, why don’t you go upstairs for a while…”
Olive who had been silence the entire time suddenly furrowed her brows and muttered,
“This dress is mine and not Gabriella’s.”
Her words seemed to have ignited an uproar in the crowd. Monica had a bad feeling
and quickly said, “Olive, no need to argue. Let’s go upstairs.”
Olive gazed at the floor, and with a bit of grievance she added, “The dress isn’t from
LUMINOUS it’s just an imitation.”
Imitation?
Almost all the guest were fans of LUMINOUS. A lady immediately stepped forward to
verify the truth in Olive’s words by checking the logo on the zip.
“This dress is really…a high quality imitation.” The lady came to a conclusion.
What!
Monica and Gabriella’s felt like their souls had just left them. Gabriella hastily moved
forward and asked in disbelief, “Are you sure?”
“The LUMINOUS logo has an eagle sign. But this one, just as you can see, the bird
