She looked dashing, with the grace of a queen. Her exquisite facial features radiated an extraordinary temperament, and her eyes were sincere, causing her to look like a righteous person. The crimson ring on her finger looked natural on her; in fact, it gave the observers a visual impact of roses blooming amidst white snow.
On the contrary, the other one had her nasty thoughts written on her face. Her eyes were cloudy and filled with malicious intentions. Her temperament, face, and her attire were unmatched to Sophia’s; even the genuine diamond ring on her hand looked inferior to the high-quality replica.
This… must have been due to the angle and camera filter!
However, no matter how she took the photos, Sophia was still the obvious winner.
Xyla’s initial intention was to mortify Sophia, but if she were to post the photo, she herself would be humiliated instead. Therefore, she had no choice but to delete the photo. Nevertheless, there were other students who kept posting the photos in the forum of Bayside University.
Looking at Sophia’s stunning scapula and her complexion that was flawless, fair and mesmerizing, Richard’s feet involuntarily followed behind her. The few people then entered the banquet hall.
The hall was already merry and lively when they entered, and Sophia’s appearance astonished everyone. She calmly walked in and accepted everyone’s surprised gazes.
Upon entering the hall, Xyla uttered, “Sophia, I can’t stay with you. Richard introduced me to a few directors and film producers, so I need to be there.”
After saying that, she dragged Richard away. His mind seemed to be filled with Sophia, but he couldn’t show it on his face. Meanwhile, Kayla walked away gracefully as well.
Stanley was eating when Sophia found him.
The banquet of the Harper Family certainly wouldn’t be short of food and beverages, and they were all top-notch cuisines. However, most of the guests were concerned with their own images, so they only had a taste of the food; this guy, however, gobbled up his meal.
Sophia took a plate to get some cakes. While doing so, she reprimanded, “Don’t act like a hungry ghost. It’s embarrassing!”
Stanley, who was busy eating, said between bites, “I spent 5,000 for this banquet. 5,000! It would be a waste if I don’t eat more! Am I right, Nate?”
Nathan was eating pudding, and he didn’t say anything, but his large, watery eyes were fixed on Sophia, filled with astonishment.
Stanley noticed that her ‘battle robe’ was different today. He freed one of his hands and slapped on her bare, pretty back, forming a red mark. “Aren’t you cold for wearing so little? You should put on your down jacket again!”
The banquet hall was as warm as summer, and the gowns of the ladies were gorgeous yet short.
Sophia didn’t reply to him; she focused on her food instead.
Everyone else was chatting with one another and building connections, and only the three of them were focused on eating.
As the star of the banquet today, Kayla was like a princess, being surrounded by many. Ever since the incident, her popularity and exposure had increased. After clearing her name, she would become a hot topic when she entered the entertainment industry.
The girl who acted as a minor character—only her face was revealed and she had no lines—in ‘Doctor Invincible’ a while ago met a few directors at the banquet today. She had been internally selected to play the role of the supporting actress of a major film.
Xyla and her were comfortably having conversations with the group of directors, producers, and famous actors, while the three of them—Sophia, Stanley and Nathan—were left alone in a corner.
Kayla glanced at the three people, who were eating heartily. Don’t you think that you can wear fakes to attend our Harper Family banquet and leave after having a meal!
Sophia disliked wearing an evening gown because it wrapped around her body tightly. She couldn’t even breathe, and she had to suck in her tummy all the time. She dared not eat much for fear that her tummy would bulge, and it would look ugly. Luckily, she had a slim waist, so she could at least eat a little.
After eating, she attentively eavesdropped on the conversation among a few wealthy businessmen about the property and stock market.
