Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 674

The venue for the banquet was a five-star hotel in the city center.

As soon as Diana and Nina arrived, they began to observe their surroundings.

The banquet hall was glorious; the whole floor was covered in thick woolen carpets.

What made it more extravagant was the fact that these carpets were said to have been specially procured for this event.

It was evident that the organizer of this banquet had considerable financial resources.

Nina was overwhelmed as soon as she arrived. While she was Vans's official girlfriend, in the face of such grandeur, she couldn't help but think that she was nothing compared to Vans's fiancee...

Diana noticed her insecurity, and gently guided her to adopt a positive mindset. "You've been to so many grand occasions while photographing celebrities. You didn't have any problems with that. Why are you so nervous now?"

Nina couldn't help but correct Diana, saying, "Those weren't grand occasions for me. Those were paparazzi shots."

As a paparazzo, even a top-tier one, it was indeed difficult to be seen in legitimate settings.

One reason was the fear of being recognized by familiar celebrities, making it harder to capture them in the future.

The other reason was the fear of retaliation from celebrities who got photographed.

Whenever Nina followed celebrities to attend banquets or award ceremonies, she would always hide in a corner.

In other words, she preferred to stay in the shadows.

But today, she came here with Diana out in the open.

"Thank goodness you're here." She tugged at Diana's sleeve, nervous. "If you weren't with me, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up high."

Diana was about to encourage Nina to be more confident when a group of women approached them from the opposite direction.

The thick carpeting muffled the sound of the women’s high heels, even though they were about seven or eight centimeters tall.

It was only when the women reached their vicinity that Nina and Diana realized they were obviously hostile.

The ladies were adorned with valuable jewelry and clad in high-fashion outfits.

Diana could immediately tell that their clothes were made of rare fabrics, and just the cost of one outfit could feed an average family for a year.

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and she instinctively shielded Nina behind her.

The woman at the forefront wore a vibrant-colored dress with an emerald on her hand. She held her head high, as if she wanted to look down on others, then turned to the security guard behind her. "Are they the ones who snuck in with fake invitations?"
