One of the trio complimented with a bright grin, "Ms. Windt, Ms. Blackwood is doing this for you! This gown is a piece from a globally renowned designer and it cost her a fortune to purchase it some time ago. I'm sure she has given this gown to you because she wants you to steal the limelight during the banquet!"
Charlotte replied with a self-deprecating smirk, "I guess you're right-she wants me to steal the limelight."
She wants me to be the only different one in the banquet because she can't wait for me to embarrass myself in front of the guests from the upper echelon and the corporate world! Perhaps she wants them to deem me a filthy slu* unworthy of Zachary, and force Zachary into submission, leaving me due to peer pressure.
Charlotte wasn't a fool-she figured the plan Sharon had in her mind the moment she put on the evening gown.
She gritted her teeth due to the grudges she held against Sharon deep down. However, when she gave it another thought, she thought it was a great opportunity for her to sever ties with Zachary.
Hence, she decided to play along with Sharon's evil scheme so she could regain her freedom.
One of the trio suggested, "Great! Let's try out the accessories we have brought along to go with the gown!"
They started matching the accessories they had with them and tried out several combinations to determine the best one.
Charlotte allowed them to carry out their duty and put on the pair of high heels they had prepared to go along with the gown.
After the trio completed dolling her up, Charlotte found herself odd and had a strange feeling about it because she seemed enchanting in an odd manner.
She wondered about the thoughts the men would have in their minds when they caught a glimpse of her sexy appearance.
"Charlotte, are you done yet?" Lucy knocked on the door and walked into the room, but she was completely stunned when she saw the woman in front of her. "T-This gown..."
"It looks great on Ms. Windt, doesn't it?" The trio started complimenting the dress that seemed to be custom-made for Charlotte over and over again.
Lucy was about to say something, but the bodyguards knocked on the door and stated, "It's about time to leave."
"I believe you should get yourself a shawl to go along with the dress," Lucy suggested in an attempt to help Charlotte.
"The shawl will ruin the flawless look of hers." An arrogant voice could be heard from behind.
The trio moved aside as soon as they noticed the presence of Sharon.
Charlotte looked in the direction of the entrance and noticed Sharon had put on a beige color mermaid dress that could highlight her slender figure. Although she wasn't a sexy woman, she exuded a noble presence.
As compared to the sexy-looking Charlotte, Sharon seemed to be an honorable princess of a modern-day fairytale.
