Chapter 1371 Preparing for the Banquet


    He had seen through all of her previous attempts. It was impossible for him to fall in love with her now. Hence, she was.


    determined to dress attractively for the banquet in order to take full advantage of such an opportunity.


    Brandon left for work after their breakfast. Bonnie would be attending the banquet with him at 4.00 PMter. For Bonnie’s sake,


    he decided to keep the banquet a secret from Queenie, as he knew Queenie would definitely attend if she knew about it.


    Everyone could see that Brandon and Maggie were both biased toward Bonnie. The duo felt sorry for Bonnie, who had a difficult


    time growing up, and so they showered her with as much love as they could now.


    Meanwhile, after lunch, Queenie received a call from Nigel, who asked her to go to a high-end store for evening gowns. When


    she arrived, she was treated as a distinguished guest of the shop, and she was even served a sumptuous set of afternoon tea.


    Queenie did not inform her parents of this. She simply informed her mother that she would be returning homete tonight.


    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.


    She exuded a natural elegance and confidence. After enjoying everything served, at 4.30 PM, she began 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. Herplexion and facial features were naturally lovely, and the light


    makeup entuated them perfectly.


    Her style that night waspletely appropriate for her age. The rhinestones on her gown, as well as the textured tulle beneath it,


    enhanced her youthful vigor and beauty to the fullest. She looked like a princess who had just emerged from her pce.


    “You''re so beautiful, Miss Silverstein,” the store manager couldn’t help but exim 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 Nigeling 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.


    Nigel''s gaze was already fixed on Queenie. Her dressing up in such a way had truly astounded him.


    “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 waspletely confident in her body shape, particrly 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 | run into Nigel here tonight? What if he shows upter at the banquet? | have to attract his


    attention! Excitement shed 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!”
