Once her makeup was done and she’d slipped into her evening gown, Nina and Ryan headed out to the hotel together.

Outside the Grand Crest Hotel, the place was packed with all kinds of luxury cars.

Nina wore a wine-red evening gown, perfectly tailored to show off her curves. Her custom heels and elegant updo made her look absolutely graceful.

As the spotlight hit Nina, she lit up the whole room. She was simply dazzling.

The moment the Swansons laid eyes on Nina, they couldn’t help but stare, completely speechless.

Wow, she’s gorgeous, they all thought.

She was the very picture of elegance and royalty, shining like a queen.

She didn’t even have to say a word. Just standing there was enough to make everyone turn and look.

No wonder the Swansons were all floored. Ever since Nina came back, even though Lanelle always custom-made her clothes, she’d always gone for a more laid-back style.

She rarely ever wore anything this daring.

So when she suddenly stepped out in that evening gown, she instantly turned heads. Everyone was stunned.

Lily stared at Nina, her eyes practically blazing with fury.

‘Is she trying to humiliate me in front of everyone?’

Lily bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears. “Nina, was the dress I gave you not a good fit? Or did you just think it was too cheap?”

“She only ever made this one, and even when someone offered million for it, she wouldn’t sell. How could your 2-million dress possibly compare to a 60-million masterpiece?”

Waverly glanced at Lily. “I told you not to waste your kindness of someone who doesn’t care, but you just wouldn’t listen

Lily hung her head, her voice shaky with tears. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Next time, I’ll try to get you something more

Lily was kind of a local celebrity in Riverdale.

Many guests knew who she was.

With everyone packed in so close, it was easy for people to overear their conversation, and soon folks were whispering and shooting each other knowing looks.

They whispered, “Didn’t the real heiress the Swansons just found grow up in a nightclub? And now she’s rocking a Lanelle

“Guess you haven’t heard? Apparently, Nina and Lanelle are tigh Every outfit she wears is custom-made by Lanelle herself. Just look at her. She’s got that true heiress energy, for real.”

“So what if she’s all dressed up fancy? Doesn’t change the fact tha she grew up in a club. She’s got zero manners. Even if Lily’s dress wasn’t worth much, it was still a nice gesture.

“And Lily was the one who put this whole party together. But Nina just shows up in that crazy expensive dress, totally snubbing Lily, like she’s too good for her.”

“Seriously, the Swansons are way out of line. They just found their real heiress and now they’re acting like Lily doesn’t even

Her vibe was so powerful that the people gossiping about her instantly shut up, a shiver running down their spines. No one dared say another word.

Nina looked away, and then gave Lily a cool glance. “Matthew will explain it to you.”

Lily’s brows furrowed in annoyance. She thought, ‘That idiot.’

She was the one who organized this whole welcome party. There couldn’t be any slip-ups.
