I laughed, “Mr. Stovall, why don’t you do it yourself?” How is this sexy? It’s not showing anything.
He chuckled and looked at both of them. “Anyways, she has to be the prettiest out of all today. But she can’t look too sexy or exposing. Understood?”
Both of them looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
After struggling for a while, John was finally satisfied before we rushed to the banquet.
The Stovall family chose a private resort located in the South District. It was spacious and bustling.
When John and I arrived, most of the guests had arrived as well. Louis and several elders of the Stovall family were greeting the guests at the entrance of the hotel lobby.
As many people were invited, some of the reporters and the media came from their own company. There were also many securities and staff guarding at the entrance.
As soon as John and I alighted, Louis spotted us and waved to us with a smile. “Letty, Jo. Over here!”
John held me as my gown was changed to a long tail dress. The hemline dragged especially long, and the heels were high too. I was walking slowly, and John slowed down to wait for me.
Louis was in great good. He saw that we were walking slowly and jogged to us. A smile appeared on his handsome face. “My daughter is beautiful. You look the most dazzling among all.”
John clicked his tongue and smiled. “Of course! A handsome man and a beautiful woman, of course, we would be eye-catching.”
Louis chuckled, “You really had to go over the top.”
A wave of laughter immediately filled the air.
When I was escorted to the banquet, many guests came to greet me. Most of them were distinguished families from K City. The majority of the guests who were invited today were politicians. After all, Louis was a politician as well. His social circle comprises mainly prominent politicians.
There were some scholarly families of a hundred years of history as well. After all, I attended a few banquets and events after marrying Ashton, although they were mostly business in nature.
When most of the guests had arrived, a long red rug was placed in the middle of the hotel lobby, reaching all the way to the stage at the end of the hotel.
Ashton was slightly late. The man was handsome, and his demeanor was dignified. He could be easily spotted among the crowd.
We locked gazes. I looked away lightly without any reaction.
Instead, John, who was beside me frowned. “Did you guys fought?”
I pursed my lips and changed the topic. “Has the Moore family arrived?”
“Yup! They should be here,” he said. His gaze fell upon Ashton as he scrutinized him.
