The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 278

The doors to the hall were suddenly pushed open.

An elderly man with a full head of silver hair, leaning on a cane, walked steadily toward the stage. He was followed by two young people, a man and a woman.

"Mr. Rhodes!"

Someone in the crowd was the first to recognize the old man, their voice filled with shock.

Only then did everyone else realize who the weathered yet imposing seventy-year-old man was.

He was Grant Rhodes, the world-renowned, top-tier architectural design master—a true giant in the industry.

There was a saying among architects: "It's better to get a single word of advice from Mr. Rhodes than to live another ten years."

To this day, no one had surpassed Mr. Rhodes's achievements in architectural design. Every building he touched was a masterpiece, a world-famous work of art.

Still reeling from the shock of his appearance, most people didn't have time to process what Mr. Rhodes had just said.

But Genevieve did.

Her face paled as she watched Mr. Rhodes approach her. She never imagined Grant would be here. Hadn't he retired from public life long ago? How could this be?

As Grant was about to step onto the stage, Genevieve bit her lip, concealing her unease. Fearing someone might see through her, she quickly moved forward, pretending to offer him a hand.

"Mr. Rhodes, why didn't you tell me you were coming to The Imperial Capital? I would have loved to pick you up," she said in a soft, gentle voice.

Grant's sharp eyes narrowed. The woman's audacity was beyond his imagination. No wonder that girl had been bested by her. But he wasn't about to be so polite.
