His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 265

265 /430

After the runway show, as was tradition at Luminous Divas Fashion Week, all participating designers and guests were invited to a lavish banquet at The Grand Primus Ballroom.

Except Marina never received her invitation.

When she went to ask—somewhat embarrassed—the event staff finally admitted they’d simply forgotten her.

Now, standing there with the hastily handed-over invitation, no amount of perfectly applied makeup could mask the fury burning inside her.

What was this supposed to mean?

Did she really have to rely on someone’s charity just to be allowed into the banquet?

She’d gone to such lengths for this jewelry fashion week—preparing three custom haute couture gowns, each worth a small fortune.

In the dressing room, Marina noticed that Niamh had only brought a single evening dress.

If she sprayed the rest of her hydrochloric acid onto Niamh’s gown, Niamh would have no choice but to attend the banquet in a plain black pantsuit.

Marina had even waited for Niamh to step out to throw something away, sneaking over to where Niamh had laid out her dress.

But then she hesitated.

Even if she ruined that gown, it’s not as if Niamh would be left without anything to wear.

It all felt so childish.

Thinking of the cold shoulder she’d received today, and how Niamh and Quentin had played her for a fool, Marina could barely swallow her anger.

Destroying a dress wasn’t nearly enough.

If she wanted revenge, she needed to ruin something that really mattered to Niamh.

Her face.

Marina hurried back to her own locker, a fresh idea taking root.

The Grand Primus Ballroom sparkled with gold and crystal, laughter and conversation flowing through the air.

Before the show, Niamh never imagined she’d become the center of attention at Luminous Divas Fashion Week.

After all, she was just a newcomer. To keep a low profile, she’d chosen a simple black off-shoulder mermaid dress—elegant and reserved, a safe choice that wouldn’t draw too much notice.
