304 The Awaited Goods

The car smoothly pulled up to the dock. Oberon, dressed in his formal attire, led Seraphina and Linara aboard the ship. Oberon presented the invitation card, and the security guard at the entrance, holding a tablet, scrutinized Linara and Seraphina carefully. He glanced at the information on the screen before confirming their identities and allowing them to pass.

From the moment they boarded, they had undergone three rounds of security checks. The stringent oversight and inspections only stoked the flames of Linara’s excitement.

In her eyes, the higher the status of an event, the stricter the scrutiny.

They hadn’t even reached the main event yet, and the security was already so tight–this spoke volumes about the scale of the gathering.

Linara’s heart was brimming with anticipation and excitement.

Once inside, a tall and graceful hostess handed Oberon a mask.

Seraphina frowned and asked, “Don’t we need one?”

The hostess smiled gently and replied, “Miss, gentlemen are required to wear masks upon entering the venue. Ladies are not.”

Linara shot her a disdainful glance.

What a fool.

If you wear a mask, no one can see your face. If they can’t see your face, how are you supposed to network and meet young, promising talents?

She sneered inwardly but couldn’t help but appreciate the host’s decision.

As soon as they stepped into the banquet hall, Linara’s eyes were dazzled by the opulent decorations and the brilliant, shimmering lights.

Seraphina’s gaze swept across the grand venue. More than half of the guests here were women. These women were all stunning, not the cookie–cutter, overly–processed influencer type.

Each one had her own unique charm, and their figures were nothing short of spectacular— sensuous and alluring, they were the epitome of beauty.

The women here were of the highest caliber. Any one of them could be considered a top–tier beauty.

As for the remaining third of the attendees, the men–most of them wearing masks–were hard

to judge by appearance. From their body shapes, some looked bloated, others were elderly and frail, and there were very few who maintained impressive physiques.

The scene was a bit off–putting. At a typical event, men would bring a female companion, but here, it was clearly not the case.

Linara scanned the men, feeling a slight sense of disappointment. However, thinking that the real party was still ahead, she quickly pushed aside her dissatisfaction.

Noticing the stunning looks and bodies of the women around her, she furrowed her brow,

Why does every woman here look so beautiful?

Linara considered herself a modest beauty in the eyes of the public. But among so many striking women, she felt almost plain and unremarkable.

The moment the three of them entered, they instantly drew the attention of the fell on Seraphina and Linara.

The looks they received were unsettling–scrutinizing, as though they were being appraised like commodities.

Linara instinctively stepped closer to Seraphina.

Oberon turned to the two women and said, “You two should look around and mingle with some people. I’m going to greet the host.”

“Got it.”

He exchanged a few quiet words with the hostess, who then led him

At that moment, a waiter approached, holding two corsages of different colors. “Ladies, please choose a wrist corsage that you like.”

Linara immediately selected the purple one, which matched the color of her evening dress.

When it was Seraphina’s turn, she simply refused. “They’re ugly. I won’t wear one.”

The waiter was momentarily taken aback, looking a little uneasy. “Miss Whitewood, all the ladies here are wearing them. Perhaps….you’d like to reconsider?”

Seraphina’s tone grew cold as she responded, “If I don’t wear one, will you throw me out?”

Linara was speechless.

What kind of place was this, where someone would make a scene over such a trivial matter?

How embarrassing.

Linara instinctively stepped away from Seraphina.
