In the high-end store, she was treated like an honored guest. As the time was still early, she enjoyed a spa and
afternoon tea in the shop’s private restaurant while preparing for the dinner banquet tonight.

meticulously selecting a gown that would suit her.
At the same time, Bonnie was also preparing for the dinner banquet in another store. She had spoken with Lina
earlier in the day and knew the other woman would be attending the banquet as well. With that, they both agreed
to meet at the banquet.
Bonnie was in a good mood, knowing that she could fully enjoy tonight’s banquet without Queenie stealing the
show. Brandon had also given her enough money so that she could dress up well.
Time flew by as both Queenie and Bonnie did the same thing at different evening gown stores, trying on gowns and
applying makeup.
Queenie chose a one-of-a-kind rose-themed gown from the store. It was elegant and romantic. She looked like a
fairy with it on, and she was absolutely stunning.
Her makeup was light and simple, with a pink undertone. Her complexion and facial features were naturally lovely,
and the light makeup accentuated them perfectly.

tulle beneath it, enhanced her youthful vigor and beauty to the fullest. She looked like a princess who had just
emerged from her palace.
“You’re so beautiful, Miss Silverstein,” the store manager couldn’t help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart. He
hadn’t seen a lady with such an elegant, pure, and innocent aura in a long time.
“Thank you,” Queenie replied with a shy smile.
Someone came up the stairs at this precise moment. Queenie turned around to see Nigel coming up the stairs, one
of his hands tucked into this pocket. He was dressed in a dark-colored shirt and slim-fit trousers. His straight brows,
rounded eyes, and sharp facial contours all exuded a wild and unruly aura.
“Look, Young Master Nigel. Miss Silverstein is so beautiful, isn’t she?” the manager quickly asked.

“Yes, she is stunning,” he praised.
Queenie loved the gown she was wearing, and she was looking forward to attending tonight’s dinner banquet with
Nigel.
Meanwhile, Bonnie chose a gown that she thought was the best she could find. She purposefully chose a bright red
feminine gown that revealed a little of her bosom to attract attention. She was completely confident in her body
shape, particularly her upper body.
She stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself, and was pleased with her own decisions. She reasoned that she
would definitely stand out from the crowd tonight.
She was also pleased that Queenie would not be able to attend such a grand dinner banquet.
Not long after, Brandon’s driver picked her up from the store and drove her to the hotel where the banquet was
being held. The host for tonight happened to be the Royal Hotel, a hotel owned by the Manson Group.
Hope arose in Bonnie’s heart. Will I run into Nigel here tonight? What if he shows up later at the banquet? I have to
attract his attention! Excitement flashed across her eyes as she was immersed in her thoughts.
Brandon arrived at the venue after a short while. When he saw Bonnie’s outfit, he furrowed his eyebrows and
queried, “Bonnie, don’t you think you should wear a coat over your gown? It does not appear appropriate!”
