Chapter 49
Brie stepped out of the car in her high heels as the crowd watched in anticipation.
She wore a black evening gown. It was cut close to her body, showing off her curvaceous figure. As she walked, her fair feet flitted in and
out of sight at the slit of her dress. She looked elegant and proper.
Someone couldn’t help but comment in a low voice. “My God, is this the same nouveau riche young lady I remember?”
“How well Brie is showing off her assets! And what a figure she has!”
“When did her taste in fashion become so good?”
When Brie heard these comments and more, she smiled in satisfaction.
This was the exact reaction she’d been aiming for.
For the past few days, she’d been practicing her posture every day. She’d picked out this dress and make–up to let everyone know that
she was even more proper and sophisticated than Caroline!
She happily picked up the pen. Just as she was about to sign her name in the guest book, there was a huge commotion behind her.
Brie frowned. When she turned back to look, she was completely shocked.
A woman came out of a plain and ordinary car.
She was wearing a long black dress. It showed off the woman’s beautiful shoulder lines. A pearl–colored belt cinched her slim waist. She wore red high heels and showed off her slender neck. She was gorgeous.
When she turned around, she flaunted stunning collarbones.
When everyone realized that it was the usually proper and elegant Caroline, they were even more shocked.
It was clear just how beautiful Caroline was. However, no one had ever expected that she could look so seductive. She was so captivating it made the crowd’s jaw drop.
Brie’s expression turned dark.
She thought that she could beat Caroline by dressing more properly and stylishly than her. Yet she’d never expected that Caroline would go in the opposite direction and dress so sexily. Worse, she looked even better now–even more attractive!
Caroline didn’t take notice of the stunned gazes of those around her.
She hadn’t wanted to dress up so much to attend the banquet. However, on second thought, she’d changed her mind.
She’d always lived according to her parents‘ expectations. They wanted her to be proper and refined, so she became that for them. She’d never tried living for herself. At the thought of that, Caroline let herself go and designed this dress with its cut–outs. After all, this was the last time she could do it.
In a second, she was next to Brie.
Brie was standing right at the entrance. Politely, Caroline said, “Please excuse me.”
Brie looked at the exquisite face before her and wanted to tear it up. She stepped closer. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Are you dressed so sluttily because you know you can’t win Eddy’s heart? Now you’re going to seduce his uncle, aren’t you?”
Kirk would be here today as well.
Caroline frowned and said coldly. “You’re still in the way.”
“You-!”
Seeing that Brie and Caroline were about to get into a fight, the staff quickly interjected, saying, “Ms. Collins, the banquet is about to start. There are a lot of people in the queue. Please don’t delay things for others.”
Brie bit her lip in frustration. Then, she scoffed.
you’ll be able to marry him just because you’re on Mr. Morrison Senior’s good side.
“Only someone like me, with a background like mine, deserves him! You should give up on that dream right now
Caroline refused to waste her time on Brie. She turned her head without responding. Brie thought that Caroline was backing down. She happily signed her name in the quest book
After she did. Caroline signed her own name and went into the banquet hat.
The hall was huge. It was decorated lavishly, but there were only about ten tables.
Only close friends and family could enter this banquet hall. In the past, Brie had always been in another hall.
Since Brie was able to be here tonight, it meant that the rumors were true. It seemed Eddy’s uncle was really going to marry her.
Sarah stood up and cried enthusiastically from the last table. She kept waving at Caroline. When she saw how seductively Caroline was dressed, she smiled even brighter.
Caroline walked toward the head table. Many important figures from the Morrison family were seated there. When they spotted Caroline. their eyes shone. They all got up and greeted her.
Caroline nodded slightly before taking a seat gracefully.
“Are you finally willing to sit with me this year?” Jude’s smile widened. “That’s perfect. You’re Mrs. Morrison. You should be sitting with me.
The crowd looked at Caroline with interest. Caroline’s expression was bland. It was as if she wasn’t involved at all..
She only met Eddy’s gaze for a moment when he looked up. Then, she looked away.
Eddy was completely stunned.
This Caroline had lost her old propriety. She looked mature and seductive, like a vixen. She was so beautiful that he could hardly believe it
Chapter 50
Caroline ignored Eddy’s gaze. She smiled. “Mr. Morrison, you have such a poor memory. Grandpa has always saved me a seat at this table.
Calling Eddy Mr. Morrison pulled the distance between them even further.
Eddy pressed a hand to his forehead. He hated Caroline calling him that. In his memory, she’d always called him Eddy.
Layla coughed a few times. This attracted Eddy’s gaze. “What is it? Are you unwell? Should I send you home first?”
Layla shook her head with difficulty. A malicious light flashed in her eyes. She was showing off that Eddy was worried about her.
Caroline had long become immune to her actions. She was about to leave when Layla said, “Today is Grandpa’s birthday. I’d like to stay. Caroline, you won’t make me leave, right?”
Caroline turned her head. Before she could say anything. Jude said without mercy. “I never invited you.”
Eddy stood before Layla, “Grandpa, Layla means well. How could you talk to her like that?”
When Caroline saw this, she remembered the first time Kirk had shielded her behind him.
She wondered where Kirk was now.
What would he think if he knew she was going to marry Eddy soon?
