The next evening, Miles waited downstairs to take her to the Pierces' banquet.
Hunter had brought in a top-tier styling team to prepare Quinn.
She possessed a natural, breathtaking beauty that barely required any makeup to command a room. She was mesmerizing, to the point where even the stylists were showering her with genuine praise.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, her clear, expressive eyes looked as if she were wearing enhancing contacts. She radiated an aura of regal elegance and vibrant grace.
With every blink, a hint of aloof, breathtaking glamour shone through. She was utterly dazzling.
Hunter had the stylist clasp a priceless pink diamond necklace around her neck, the gems catching the light brilliantly with her every move.
The luxurious deep sea-blue velvet gown contrasted perfectly against her luminous skin, highlighting her stunning curves flawlessly.
The moment she stepped out, Miles, who had been on his phone nearby, froze.
A flash of sheer astonishment crossed his deep eyes, and something in his chest unexpectedly stirred.
She... she looked exactly like the masked woman.
Was it really her?
Seeing Miles staring, Quinn shot him a dismissive look.
Miles quickly pushed down his thoughts, masking his reaction and returning to his usual composed, detached demeanor.
Standing next to Lynn, Jade watched the radiant, captivating Quinn with a dark surge of intense jealousy. Her fingers clenched until her knuckles turned white, her heart twisting with bitter resentment.
That tramp!
She was the one who should be attending this banquet on Miles's arm. What right did Quinn, the housekeeper's daughter, have to stand beside him?
The title of Mrs. York rightfully belonged to her—why did she have to wait another three months?
A sharp sense of threat crept into her mind. She terrified that her beloved Miles might actually fall for Quinn if she let her guard down.
Sensing Jade's fury, Lynn quickly leaned in to whisper comforts.
The crowd couldn't help but gasp in admiration, all eyes instantly drawn to the contract couple.
"Mr. York's wife is absolutely stunning!"
"Elegant, regal, beautiful... there aren't enough words to do her justice."
"No wonder he keeps her hidden. He must be terrified of other men admiring her."
Some even compared her to Jade: "That face... she is leagues above that Ms. Winter he keeps around."
"..."
Miles exchanged polite greetings with Mr. Pierce, temporarily putting aside his disdain for Quinn.
He offered his arm, guiding her hand to rest on it, and muttered a warning, "Keep quiet tonight, smile, and if you don't understand something, ask Hunter."
Knowing he was just worried she would embarrass him, Quinn swept a cold glance over him.

I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
