    As expected, Ellen had a keen eye for fashion and chose a green evening gown with a unique texture


    that radiated a sense of vitality and hope.

    was stunningly beautiful. “You have such great taste, Miss Reiss. This evening gown suits you so well,”


    the store manager praised.


    The evening gown looked refreshing and noble on Ellen. It appeared elegant at first nce, yet upon


    closer inspection, it revealed a calm and serene charm.

    gown that seemed to embody the early. spring, she looked refreshingly unique at first. sight.


    Jared’s breath caught for a few seconds, proving that this girl could always make him feel like he was


    falling in love for the first time, no matter when he saw her.

    “It’s beautiful,” heplimented, but he felt a tinge of jealousy as he knew his woman would attract


    many envious nces tonight. He felt like he was losing out.


    Meanwhile, in another dress store, Hannie was dressed in a gold evening gown that entuated the


    perfection of her figure, giving her a sexy yet elegant look.


    She was in a great mood at the thought of meeting Jared tonight, even though she knew he might bring


    his girlfriend. That feeling of excitement was even more exhrating.


    She had a bad streak in her bones-she loved taking what belonged to others, which was more fun


    when it was stolen. “See you tonight, Jared.” Hannie smirked as she looked at his photo on her phone..


    The banquet began at 6.30PM. Averna was exceptionally lively tonight as the wealthy and powerful


    gathered at the Royal Hotel to attend the grand event.


    The guest list was strict and exclusive, epting only those who were exceptional and truly deserving


    of an invitation. Tonight, there was also a rare jewelry auction taking ce.


    A ck car stopped at the hotel entrance, and as the security guards approached, the bodyguards


    behind the ck car quickly stepped out to stop them and gestured for them to step back.


    The security guards knew the people in the car were VIPs and obediently took a few steps back.


    A bodyguard pulled open the back door to reveal a slender leg dressed in suit pants stepping out of the


    car before it was followed by a young man who was exceptionally handsome under the light, exuding a


    graceful and noble aura that was unparalleled.

    skin was as smooth as jade with beautiful features that radiated a clean, fresh aura.


    Wow, she’s so pretty! The security guards could only take a quick nce before lowering their eyes.


    The girls who came tonight were all beautiful, but this one was particrly unique as they couldn’t see


    that kind of materialistic feeling in her. Ellen linked arms with Jared and entered the magnificent lobby.


    The designated photographers captured the beautiful moments of the guests as she confidently waved


    at the camera. Throughout the year of her transformation, she had no one by her side.


    She had gone from her initial nervousness to her currentposure every time she went to a chess


    competition and faced the media. As she had experienced a lot, it strengthened her inner self.


    If Jared had apanied her back then, he might have hindered her growth instead of helping her.


    Only by breaking away from the people who supported her could she truly grow up.


    As soon as they entered the elevator, his gaze fell on her affectionately, and he even tidied up the little


    strands of hair near her ears. His girl had really grown up and matured a lot!


    When they arrived at the 10th floor, they saw a superrge banquet hall that could. amodate 500


    people. The stars were shining brightly tonight, and the air was filled with the fragrance of red wine and


    luxury. It was veryfortable to be immersed in it.


    “Young Master Tillman, this way please.” The waiter led them to a sofa exclusive to them.
