Chapter 89: Chapter 87: Who Doesn’t Like a Beauty

She checked the location and saw it was less than 500 meters away from her.

Cecilia Sterling had originally planned to refuse. She was exhausted after working two flights back-to-back today, but it was so close. If Estelle Goodman found out she didn’t come despite being just around the corner, she would surely get an earful.

Sighing in resignation, Cecilia Sterling replied, "Alright, I’ll head over a bit later. Is there a dress code?"

"It’s best to be a little formal, but really, just wear whatever’s comfortable."

Cecilia Sterling smiled at the message. ’I don’t even have to think about it. A high-society party like this will be full of glamorous people. I don’t want to stick out.’

Cecilia Sterling went to the bathroom, ran a hot bath, and soaked with some relaxing essential oils. Afterward, most of her exhaustion had melted away.

She picked up the black, slim-fitting formal dress Lily had given her and stood before the full-length mirror. Holding it up against her body, she couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.

’Lily has great taste. This dress is understatedly luxurious. It isn’t too flashy, but the deep V-neck in the front gives it maximum allure. The stark black against her pearlescent skin created a powerful contrast, making her practically glow.’

Her hairstyle didn’t need to be complicated. She casually swept up her jet-black hair, letting a few wisps fall around her forehead and cheeks to create a look of natural, effortless grace.

Her accessories were even simpler: a delicate chain necklace with a three-dimensional, fully diamond-encrusted, pentagram-shaped pendant about the size of a fingernail. The piece instantly pulled the entire look together.

Cecilia Sterling couldn’t help but admire her own reflection. ’Absolutely stunning!’

She snapped a few flattering photos on her phone and sent them to her sister with a message: "You have great taste! I love it."

She admired her reflection for a little while longer before grabbing the small clutch she’d picked out, a satisfied look on her face as she headed out the door.

Following the GPS directions west, she arrived after a short walk of less than five hundred meters. Hearing the distant din of conversation and seeing the rows upon rows of luxury cars parked along the road, Cecilia Sterling knew she had arrived.

"Estelle, I’m here."

"Honey, I’m still doing my makeup! I’ll have Charles Jennings come get you!"

"Okay, I’m on the side of the road to the right of the main gate."

A steady stream of luxury cars continued to pull in, a testament to the Goodman Family’s extensive network.

Cecilia Sterling waited for less than five minutes before she saw Charles Jennings hurrying out from the main gate, dressed in a white shirt, a black vest, and a bow tie.

He instinctively glanced left and right before his gaze fell, uncertainly, upon Cecilia Sterling.

Beneath his thick lenses, his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

In the end, it was Cecilia Sterling who approached him first, calling out a greeting, "Charles Jennings!"

"Cecilia Sterling?"

He stared at Cecilia, whose appearance had changed so drastically. She was so dazzlingly beautiful that he instinctively took two steps back.

Cecilia, for her part, studied his outfit with amusement. ’He looks like a waiter at a fancy restaurant.’

And she wasn’t wrong. Whenever the Goodman Family hosted these kinds of parties, Charles Jennings, as the driver’s son, would work as one of the servers to earn some extra cash.

Seeing Charles Jennings’s shocked and stunned expression, Cecilia Sterling smiled magnanimously and asked, "Do I look good today?"

Her simple question was enough to make Charles Jennings turn as red as a beet, the blush visibly creeping down to the base of his neck.

His Adam’s apple bobbed. He awkwardly averted his gaze and said, "Uh... she’s still in her room doing her makeup. She asked me to take you inside."

Seeing how easily he got flustered, Cecilia reined in her playful mood and followed him through the main gate.

The spacious front garden was decorated in a warm and romantic style. Flowers and buffet stations were everywhere, laden with a dazzling array of various delicacies. Servers in the same uniform as Charles Jennings, complete with white gloves, moved among the guests with trays.
