Chapter 491


    I could not help but lower my head to look at the slit. Honestly, it was not too bad. Though it was a little


    exaggerated, it didn''t show too much!


    "Aaron, you''re nitpicking. This dress is normal and nothing''s too exaggerated. If we keep changing,


    we''ll bete."


    "It''s okay, and I can wait!" He looked at the designer and ordered, "Give her a more conservative dress.


    It''s winter now, not summer. What''s the point of such a big slit? Don''t you know it''s cold? Moreover,


    she''s going as the Reid family''s daughter. And what the hell is with this green color? She''s a young and

    lively girl. Get her something brighter."


    After a pause, he stared at my face for a long time and added, "Also, though she does have the looks


    of European celebrities, you don''t have to make her look so sexy."


    I couldn''t help butugh. "Mr. Reid, why don''t you do it yourself, then?" How was this sexy when


    nothing was being exposed?


    He snorted and looked at the two of them. "Basically, she has to be the most beautiful woman today,


    but she can''t be too sexy or revealing, got it?"


    The two exchanged a look and then nodded in unison.


    Once they were done, Aaron was satisfied with the result and we finally arrived at the banquet venue.


    The Reid family had chosen a private holiday area in the southern part of Jarold City, where it was


    prosperous and bustling with life.


    By the time Aaron and I arrived, most of the guests were already there. Charles and a few other elders


    of the Reid family were weing people at the hotel lobby entrance.


    Due to the great number of guests, some of the reporters and journalists were from self- owned


    As soon as we got out of the car, Charles saw us. He smiled and waved our way. "Arianna, Aaron, this


    way!"


    Aaron was holding onto me. Since the previous dress was reced by a floor-length skirt, the hem of


    the skirt was particrly long. I also wore tall high heels, which made me move slower. So, Aaron had


    no choice but to walk slowly to wait for me.


    Charles was in a good mood. When he saw us strolling over slowly, he trotted over and joyfully


    eximed, "My daughter is so beautiful. You really are the most eye-catching girl in the room!"


    Aaron tutted and teased with a smile, "Of course, a handsome man and a beautiful woman will


    certainly be eye-catching."


    Charles scoffed. "You brat, you''re great at drawing attention to yourself."


    For a moment,ughter could be heard all around.


    Many guests came up to greet me when I was brought into the banquet hall. They were essentially all


    the prominent people in Jarold City. Most of those who made it to the banquet were politically affiliated.


    After all, Charles was a government official. His social circle was pretty much made up of distinguished


    politicians.


    Some guests were also from hundred- year- old families of schrs. Having been married to Hendrix


    for many years, I had more or less gone to some banquets with him, but most attendees were


    businessmen.


    Seeing that almost all the guests had arrived, a long red carpet was ced in the middle of the lobby,


    leading directly to the stage at the edge of the hotel.


    Hendrix arrived a littlete. He was handsome and imposing. One could immediately spot him in the


    crowd at a nce.


    When our eyes met, I moved my gaze away and did not react.


    Aaron, who was standing beside me, frowned slightly and asked, "Did you guys have a row?"


    I pursed my lips and changed the subject. "Has the Moore familye yet?"


    "Yes, they should be here," he replied, his gaze falling on Hendrix as he sized him up.


    After all, Jarold City and Ucrebury were two different ces, and many of their customs were not the


    same.
