Chapter 295 Die Abroad
Not long after, Coral was meticulously dressed and slowly walked down the steps.
She was dressed in a sapphire blue satin dress. Her hair was all coiled up, and she wore a beautiful diamond crown. A huge blue diamond ring was on her finger, which was very eye–catching.
Since Coral was the birthday star, the people in the hall on the first floor all applauded for Coral.
The elegant music was on, and Coral walked down the stairs covered with a red carpet.
The shutter sounded, and the flashing lights kept falling on Coral. Her diamonds shone under the light.
The corners of Coral’s lips were raised high, and she waved at the crowd in an elegant way, like a proud swan.
Seeing her daughter, Mathilda had a complicated look in her eyes.
Coral slowly walked to Mathilda and held her mother’s arm.
Mathilda’s expression was indifferent as she brought her daughter to meet her close friends.
“Look at you! You have grown up. What a beautiful girl.” A lady spared no effort to compliment Coral, “I wonder who
can be Coral’s boyfriend.”
“Exactly. I heard Coral is looking for a husband today. Do you see someone you like?”
Coral raised her head and revealed a faint smile. Her posture was quite arrogant. Hearing this, she smiled slightly and was rarely humble. “Well, that’s two people’s decision. It’s of no use if that man doesn’t like me.”
Although she said so, the arrogance on her face did not diminish at all. She leisurely looked around, sizing up all the young men present, like window–shopping.
Another lady smiled, “You’re an outstanding girl. You can choose any one of them. I would like you to be my daughter–in–law if I had a son!”
“Even if you have a son, your family is not good enough for Coral.”
A lady joked. Then she looked at Coral and Mathilda with a flattering expression. “I heard that Coral is working for the company now. What a promising girl. You are talented and beautiful. In my opinion, although Coral’s cousin is the president of the Longfellow Group, you are better than her.”
Hearing this, Coral was very pleased. She smiled modestly, “Thanks, but Janet did one thing right. At least she has. good taste and entrusts the company to the Doherty family, not the Smedley family.”
After hearing Coral’s words, those ladies looked at each other and smiled politely.
Coral could say this, but they could not. Everyone knew that the Smedley family had three elite sons, and Donahue, the eldest, was one of the largest business giants in England. There was no position for them to gossip.
Coral did not care about this. At last, it was her turn to show off.
Finally, people knew that she was better than Janet!

Moreover, she didn’t know if Janet was alive or not. Everything in the Longfellow family would belong to her father. In the future, it would belong to her!
But soon, Coral found that something was wrong.
Most of the people around her and Mathilda weren’t as rich as them. Coral looked around, but she didn’t see any
decent young men.
She looked into the distance and saw a few young men to whom she had taken a fancy. They were standing far away with their family members and had no intention of coming over.
A few of them even ignored Coral’s gaze.
