Chapter 491


    At six o''clock in the evening, the guests arrived at the Ashton residence. Soon, the Ashton residence


    became extraordinarily lively. Men and women dressed in extravagant formal attire mingled with each


    other in the living room and the courtyard.


    For three hours, the makeup artists had been applying makeup on Gwendolyn''s face in the first guest


    room on the second floor. Gwendolyn was already exhausted, but she couldn''t refuse Michael''s


    kindness.


    Having no other choice, she allowed the makeup artists to carry on with their work while she rested her


    eyes.


    Afterward, a stylist picked a gown for Gwendolyn. It was a marine blue high-slit gown made with glittery


    fabric. After putting on the dress, she looked at herself in the full-length mirror.


    Thedy in the mirror was breathtaking. Her silhouette was graceful, and the long slit on the gown''s


    hem entuated her slender legs perfectly.


    Nicolette had been sitting and ying video games to pass the time while she waited for Gwendolyn.


    Upon hearing the crowd''s astonished exmations, Nicolette lifted her head. Then, she immediately


    quit the game and got up abruptly. “Gwen, y-you''re beautiful!”


    After walking to Gwendolyn, Nicolette reached out to caress Gwendolyn''s dazzlingly fair arm in awe.


    “Gwen, when can I be like you?”


    Nicolette was filled with admiration for Gwendolyn—whose skin was as white as snow—as though the


    latter were Snow White herself.


    Gwendolyn gazed at her reflection in the mirror. I think I really appear slightly more beautiful. Usually,


    I''d only have some lipstick on. This full-face makeup makes me look a lot more enchanting.


    Since their work here was done, the makeup artists and the stylist packed their belongings, all


    prepared to leave the residence.


    Just then, Felicia and Candace also entered the guest room. A glint of darkness shed across their


    eyes when they saw Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn is really stunning after getting dolled up.


    With a dark expression on Candace''s face, she uttered, “Help Felicia put on some makeup, too.”


    Felicia was also considered the star of the show on that night. After all, Patrick would attend the event


    later. Felicia had already told Candace about how Gwendolyn had seduced Patrick. If he saw


    Gwendolyn''s pretty side, he would surely abandon Felicia.


    The initially confident Candace was demotivated now.


    She walked up to a makeup artist, took out her phone, then leaned in and whispered in thetter''s ear,


    “If you can make Felicia prettier than Gwendolyn, I''ll give you a big mary gift.”


    As Candace was speaking, her eyes darted around like a sly fox.


    The makeup artist was a youngdy who wore a mask. Hearing Candace''s request, she nced at


    Felicia, unsure what to do.


    Felicia''s looks were, after all, unremarkable. If she wanted to surpass Gwendolyn in terms of beauty,


    she might as well go back to her mother''s womb and get a different appearance.


    Nevertheless, the makeup artist was not going to be that blunt and simply nodded at Candace. “Thank


    you, Mrs. Ashton. I will do my best.”


    With that, the makeup artist nced at her assistants, and theyid out the cosmetic products on the


    vanity again.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Candace transferred five thousand to the makeup artist, to which thetter epted it as tips.


    With an icy gaze, Felicia red at Gwendolyn enviously.


    Why is it that despite the fact that we are both descendants of the Ashton family, Gwendolyn can be so


    beautiful? God is unfair to me, not fair at all.


    As Felicia passed by, she collided with Gwendolyn''s shoulder. Bullying thetter was her intention.


    Unexpectedly, she was the one who got hurt. The two of them stared at each other coldly.


    Iciness tinged Gwendolyn''s gaze, her aura absolutely imposing. Felicia, on the other hand, was in so


    much pain that her face contorted, and she said frostily, “Gwendolyn, you hurt me. Apologize.”


    Hearing that, Gwendolyn merely scoffed. “Ms. Felicia, I''ve been standing still the whole time. We can


    all tell who bumped into who.”


    Instantaneously, everyone''s gazes fell on Felicia. What Gwendolyn stated was true.


    Felicia did not gain the upper hand, nor did she have the authority to make Gwendolyn apologize. As a


    result, Felicia went to sit in front of the vanity, pursing her lips and furrowing her brows. Gwendolyn, you


    can be smug for now. You won''t be able to do the same when Patrick is here.
