A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429 

Jonathan was caught off guard, bent over, and squatted on the ground after Reina hit him with a punch. Reina then patted her hands with a smug 

expression of satisfaction. 

“Dare to threaten me to be your girlfriend, you must be dreaming I’m officially notifying you now, you’ve been dumped,” she said, snorting heavily at Jonathan before turning around and leaving 

Jonathan still held his chest, looking down. Reina’s blow was heavy, and the punch had nearly left him breathless. 

After managing to collect himself, he watched her walk away, his eyes deep, thinking, ‘Reina, I’ve told you before, once I’ve agreed, there’s no escape. You can only be mine, and we’ll meet again soon. 

In the following days, Cynthia was still contemplating what birthday gift to give Jasmine 

One day, she saw a pearl necklace up for auction in the news. It was said to have belonged to the royal family of a country million dollars. From the photos, it appeared luxurious and elegant, with a style that seemed suitable for an older person. 

was priced at 17 

Given Jasmine’s noble status and the fact that Cynthia was gifting on behalf of herself and Liam, she couldn’t go for something too cheap. Cynthia immediately decided to purchase the pearl necklace as a gift and spent the entire day securing it 

Time quickly approached the birthday celebration, which was set to take place at the Sullivan residence, and most of Auroran’s prominent figures were in attendance. 

Liam spent the morning at the company, handling affairs, and in the afternoon, he accompanied Cynthia to get styled. They had hired a top stylist from the country. Despite the stylist’s exceptional skills, it seemed to Cynthia that they weren’t necessary as her natural beauty didn’t need much enhancement; otherwise, it would have overshadowed everything. 

In the end, Cynthia received a simple makeup application to accentuate her features, a simple hairstyle with half of her hair tied up and the other half loosely cascading over her shoulders, curled. She looked gentle and beautiful. Liam was captivated and couldn’t resist hugging her directly, 

“Honey, you are so beautiful. I want to keep you all to myself,” he sail 

Cynthia nestled into Liam’s embrace, listening to him with a sweet smile on her face. She turned around, and with her hands embracing his lean and strong waist, she softly replied, “Tarling, you look good too, especially in a suit. You are the epitome of a man in my eyes.” 

At her words, Liam raised an eyebrow slightly, in an indescribably good mood. He affectionately pinched Cynthia’s nose, his face radiating an unbreakable warmth. 

Just then, Winnie entered holding a bag. “Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. Jasmine Sullivan had this delivered,” she said. 

Cynthia Lifted her head from Liam’s chest, looking at the bag with curiosity. “What could Jasmine possibly send at this time?” As Cynthia pondered, she opened the bag. 

Inside was a bright red dress, along with a note saying, “Cynthia, this is the dress I’ve prepared for you for tonight’s banquet. I have a matching outfit in the same color so that we’ll be dressed in marching outfits. Of course, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to wear it. I won’t force you.” 

After reading the note, Cynthia’s face was full of joy. Of course she liked it 

On such an important occasion, aside from those with good relationships, most people are usually very concerned about clashing outfits. Jasmine’s gesture indicated that she truly saw Cynthia as family so Cynthia couldn’t go against the elder’s wishes. She immediately took the dress to the fitting room. 

A few minutes later, she emerged wearing the red dress. It was a mermaid–style dress with a straight neckline, the bright red color complementing Cynthia’s fair complexion to create a striking visual impact. 

Initially, the stylist had planned to pair Cynthia with a champagne–colored dress, but upon seeing how well this combination worked, she also found it striking. Indeed, when someone is beautiful, they can pull off any look with style 

After stepping out, Cynthia asked Liam to take a photo of her with her phone and then sent it to Jasmine. 

Meanwhile, Jasmine was also dressed in a red dress. When she saw the photo, a smile lit 

up 

her face. 

She knew that Cynthia looked stunning in red, Jasmine couldn’t resist showing off the photo to her close friends. 

“Look, isn’t Cynthia beautiful? We are wearing matching outfits tonight. Your grandsons‘ wives aren’t as close to you as Cynthia is to me,” Jasmine proudly exclaimed, as if Cynthia was more worth showing off than her own grandson 

The other women around, of similar age to Jasmine, were her close friends. Although they didn’t harbor jealousy or ill intentions, the thought of their daughters–in–law and granddaughters–in–law made their expressions slightly sour 

Their daughters–in–law and granddaughters–in–law weren’t as close to them. They rarely exchanged words and certainly wouldn’t wear matching

outfits. Unlike Jasmine. Cynthia felt like a true granddaughter to her Jasmine’s heart was filled with immense satisfaction, and she was currently overjoyed 

As the evening approached 7 o’clock, guests began arriving at the Sullivan residence.
