My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 98

She wore a champagne-colored, one-shoulder evening gown with a forgiving waistline that perfectly concealed her slight baby bump. Her hair tumbled in soft waves over her shoulders, paired with understated makeup—a subtle sweep of eyeliner and a sheer tint of lipstick.

The woman in the mirror exuded an indescribable, elegant charm.

It was no longer the naive innocence of a girl, but the poised, unshakeable radiance of a woman who knew her worth.

Little Bean gently fluttered in her belly. "Mommy looks so beautiful today! A hundred times prettier than that awful woman!"

Seraphina's lips curved upward. "You certainly know how to sweet-talk."

"I'm just telling the truth!" Little Bean declared proudly. "Mommy, do you think that jerk is going to bother you again tonight?"

"I don't care if he does." Seraphina grabbed her clutch, giving herself one last check in the mirror. "I'm going there to talk business, not to look at him."

The gala was held in the hotel's top-floor banquet hall. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights of Crestview stretched endlessly into the night.

Crystal chandeliers bathed the room in a dazzling, daylight brilliance, illuminating long tables adorned with exquisite appetizers and towering champagne pyramids. Men in sharp suits and women dripping in jewels mingled in small groups.

Holding a glass of juice, Seraphina stood quietly in a corner, observing the room.

Professor Sterling hadn't arrived yet, and she wasn't in a hurry to dive into the networking frenzy.

"Ms. Simmons?"

A warm male voice called out from behind her.

Seraphina turned to see a man in his early thirties wearing a tailored charcoal suit, possessing sharp features and a refined, scholarly aura.

"Hello, you must be..." Seraphina nodded politely.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Gideon Grant, a partner at Stellaris Capital." The man offered his business card. "I heard Professor Sterling mention your patent technology earlier today. I'm incredibly interested. I was wondering if we could find a time to chat?"

Stellaris Capital.

Seraphina's heart skipped a beat.

They were a top-tier venture capital firm with massive investments in the new energy sector.
