“I hope Brian doesn’t recognize me,” Ariana said.
Not just Brian, but everyone else in Gleaston too. If she was Warto Group’s executive director, she couldn’t be recognized as the Torrey family’s heiress.
“Don’t worry. He won’t.”
William clapped his hands, and the wardrobe stylist brought in the evening gown William had carefully
y prepared.
It almost blinded Ariana with its sparkle. She gasped. “Is this a bit too extravagant?”
The entire dress was covered in small white diamonds. They weren’t huge, but they shone like stars. It was a strapless, pure white, floor–length gown that exuded both sensuality and elegance.
Most striking, William had also gotten her a fox–fur shawl Dressed like this, she’d be more dazzling than a movie
star.
“I want you to be the most beautiful woman in Gleaston. That way nobody will think Susan is Ariana. At worst, they’ll say they look a bit alike.”
William smiled and continued, “But this gown has a production cost. It’s two million dollars. I’m sure Ms. Torrey can afford it.”
Ariana gritted her teeth. “You really are a shameless businessman!”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
William’s smile grew wider. “I also prepared a surprise for you tonight, and it has something to do with this dress.
“What surprise?”
“It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you,” William said. “I’m sure you’ll like it, though.”
Night fell. Evelyn arrived in the same car as Brian.
Emily opened the door for them.
Evelyn had known about this reception and had arranged her gown in advance.
She was wearing a very elaborate outfit. The white diamonds on her dress shone brightly, catching people’s eyes right away.
“Ms. Granger, that dress is just perfect on you. I’ve never seen anything so pretty. It suits you perfectly!”
“It must have been a gift from Mr. Lodge. Everyone knows How much he spoils Ms. Granger. Now we can finally see it for ourselves.”
“Ms. Granger is absolutely stunning tonight. Even that new executive director from Warto Group couldn’t match her beauty!”
People around kept praising Evelyn, as though placing her on a pedestal.
With Brian right next to her, they had to show her respect.
Moreover, they weren’t really just flattering. Evelyn was indeed known as the most beautiful woman in Gleaston. Nobody had seen anyone surpass her.
