Chapter 295
“Can you help me pick out a dress for today’s party?”
Silvia looked around and picked out a Derragamo dress and cardigan for Abalene. “Madam Remus, this should suit you,” she said with a smile.
Abalene nodded. “Silvia, you have really good taste. I like this dress.”
They chatted for a while, and before long, it was lunchtime.
Melanie and Jake joined them for lunch as well.
At the dining table, Abalene looked at Melanie and said, “Many rich ladies are attending the party today. Keep an eye on them. If you spot a suitable girl, introduce her to Liam.”
Melanie’s expression changed. If Liam married a rich and powerful woman, he could compete for Remus Corporation.
She lowered her head and reluctantly said, “Sure.”
Silvia glanced at Liam. If he did not want to be in a relationship, now was the best time to let them know.
However, he just looked down and ate in silence.
All of them were occupied with their own thoughts during lunch.
Silvia had planned to take a nap in the afternoon, but Neil hired a hairstylist and makeup artist to give her a makeover.
She glared at him in annoyance and said, “Are you doing this on purpose? I’m not the guest of honor tonight. Why should I make such a big deal out of this?”
Neil challenged her point and slowly said, “The rich attendees tonight are definitely dressing up. You wouldn’t want to show up with your bare face and not fit in, would you?”
After some thought, Silvia stopped resisting.
Three hours later, the makeup artist and hairstylist completed their task.
“Miss Pond, we’re done. You can open your eyes now.”
However, Silvia did not respond.
“Miss Pond… Miss Pond?”
They called her a few times before Silvia finally opened her eyes. She was in a daze because she had just woken up.
“What? Are you done?”
It was the makeup artist’s first time seeing someone fall asleep in the makeup chair. She nodded and said, “Yes. Please have a look, Miss Pond.”
Silvia looked in the mirror. The trendy matte makeup on her face and her blush–colored tulle dress complemented each other really well.
Her long hair had been tied in a bun, which exposed her slender neck and exquisite
collarbones. She looked fair and dazzling.
“Miss Pond, I’ll put on the necklace and earrings for you.”
The makeup artist then took out a pearl necklace and some earrings from a box. Silvia looked impressive after she put them on.
“You’re stunning, Miss Pond!”
The pearl necklace gave her an added sense of elegance, and those present could not take their eyes off her.
“Thank you.”
She turned around and saw Neil staring intently at her. However, she could not read the emotions in his eyes.
She walked up to him and asked, “How do I look?”
“Stunning.”
Silvia smiled. “That’s great to hear.”
“The banquet is starting. Let’s go.”
With that, they linked arms. The moment she appeared in the banquet hall, she instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Silvia reminded one of a white swan. She stood calmly beside Neil as others stared at her with envy.
Ada attended the banquet as well, and she dressed up beautifully too. However, she looked rather plain when compared with Silvia..
“Why do I find Silvia more beautiful than Ada? She looks fairer too. She’s so pretty that she’s glowing!”
“Actually, they look really similar, but Silvia’s features are more exquisite than Ada’s. Her skin is more flawless as well. I didn’t realize it in the past. Now that I’m comparing them, I can see the difference.”
“Stop it. Can’t you see how upset Ada is? She owns Perficient now, so it’s not wise to offend her!”
Ada slowly clenched her fists as she glared at Silvia. She should be the one standing next to Neil, and everyone should be complimenting her instead!
That b*tch had stolen everything from her!
