At the same time, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel where the annual gala was held, Kyra was waiting expectantly for Jean's arrival.
Like all the guests in attendance, she was dressed in her best.
She wore a sapphire-blue bespoke gown that fitted her sensuous figure perfectly and gave her an air of nobility. Her long hair was styled in a big wave, and the tiara on her head made her look like a queen.
Dandy could not help but be impressed as she looked at her daughter. "You'll be the highlight of the gala, Kyra!"
Kyra was also very satisfied with her appearance.
She had spent a fortune to hire the best makeup team so that she could catch everyone's attention.
"Yes, Ms. Marks, you look fabulous. The gown is a perfect fit. Compared to you, the other women downstairs practically look like peasants!" one of the makeup artists said.
Kyra's vanity was greatly satisfied.
More than the praise of the other people in the event, she really hoped she could catch Jean's attention.
She asked her mother anxiously, "Mom, you called Mrs. Beauvort earlier, right? What did she say? Is Jean here yet?"
Dandy smiled and took her hand. "He's on the way here! You should see him in ten minutes. Don't worry, if Jean doesn't want to come here, Wrenn will come to the gala herself and announce that you shall be the future Mrs. Jean Beauvort. No matter what happens, you'll be the highlight of the night!"
Kyra could not help but grin when she heard that. "I can't wait!"
She had been worried that Jean would reject her, but it seemed that she had nothing to worry about.
When she thought she would be standing next to the man of her dreams, she could barely contain her excitement.
She had had a crush on Jean for many years. However, she had restrained herself from showing it because she didn't want Jean to be repulsed by her advances.
As much as she loved him, she had never expressed her feelings in words.
Now, she would be able to tell him how she felt, and in the very near future, they would be husband and wife!
When she thought of that, she almost jumped out of sheer joy.
Seeing that her daughter was happy, Dandy was happy too.
If everything went according to plan, the status of the Marks family in high society would be elevated.
When that happened, she would be second only to Wrenn. Everyone would have to respect and admire her!
While Dandy and Kyra were fantasizing about their future, Jean and Neera arrived at the venue.
Their car went into the underground parking lot through a secret passage to avoid media attention.
After Storm parked the car, Jean said to Neera, "Wait here. Fifteen minutes later, Storm will bring you upstairs."
"Okay," Neera said and nodded.
Jean got out of the car. Someone from Star Entertainment Media was already waiting for him outside.
He went up to Jean and introduced himself. "Good evening, Mr. Beauvort. Mr. Mcdonagh sent me to welcome you. Please follow me."
Jean nodded and said, "Thank you."
…
Upstairs, at the gala venue, Larry received news that Jean had arrived. He quickly gathered the managers and went to the entrance.
The reporters from the various media outlets also rushed toward the entrance excitedly with their equipment. They pointed their cameras at the door.
The other celebrities were also eager to see Jean Beauvort in the flesh.
Larry reminded the people crowding at the entrance, "Remember to keep order when Mr. Beauvort is here. Don't cause a mess!"
The people nodded and stepped aside, making a path in the middle.
Two sets of footsteps could be heard from outside of the door.
A man entered through the door, followed by another.
The man in front was the assistant whom Larry had tasked to welcome Jean. The one behind him was, of course, the highlight of the event.
The man was dressed impeccably in a bespoke that emphasized his noble features. He wore no expression on his face, which made him look aloof and unapproachable.
Everyone guessed that he must be Jean Beauvort. Only he could have made such an impression!
Many of the female celebrities were pleasantly surprised. Despite having seen their fair share of handsome male celebrities, none of them could compare to Jean.
"We meet again, Mr. Beauvort! It's our honor to welcome you to Star Entertainment Media's annual gala. Everyone has been eagerly waiting for your presence. This way, please!" Larry took two steps forward and extended his hand.
Jean shook his hand and said, "Thank you for inviting me."
"Oh, it's no big deal!" Larry was shocked. The president just thanked me!
