Chapter 162
Stanley chortled heartlessly. “Hahaha… You insisted on wearing the down jacket, so you are now being
stopped outside. Serves you right!”
Mockeries were heard from the crowd. Richard smiled sarcastically and said, “I think this is as far as you
can go. You don’t need to attend the banquet. You need to dress in formal attire to attend the banquet. I
understand your situation, so I won’t force you…”
As they had arrived at the main entrance of the hotel, the warm air from inside blew toward her face,
causing her face to flush red, and her body started to feel hot under the thick jacket.
However, her looks gave everyone the impression that she was feeling so embarrassed that her face
was flushed!
Stanley carried Nathan in his arms and headed inside. Although he was wearing high-quality fakes,
those were still formal attire, so he was granted entry.
“Sophie, you can continue to dilly-dally. I’m not waiting for you! I’ll bring Nate inside to have some food
first!”
Sophia looked at Stanley disappearing behind the door with her reddened face.
X uttered to her while pretending to be caring, “I have an evening gown that I’ve worn before this. How
about I lend it to you?”
Ka scoffed, “X, she can’t fit into your dress! Her measurements and status don’t match yours!
Besides, an evening gown shouldn’t be worn twice!”
X replied in a flirtatious manner, “I was going to get rid of the evening gown anyway, so it’s better to
give it to Sophia! I think it would fit her!”
A sneer by X was replied with a scoff by Ka, and together, they demeaned Sophia over and over
again.
Sophia kept quiet for a few seconds before asking the waiter, who was covering his mouth while
laughing, “What kind of attire is considered appropriate?”
Everyone broke intoughter. It turned out that she came without any knowledge, so it was no wonder
that she would humiliate herself.
The waiter could barely suppress his giggle as he probably hadn’t seen such an embarrassing scene. “At
the very least, you can’t enter wearing a down jacket.”
Half of Sophia’s face was hidden under the cor of her down jacket, which made her look like a walking
jacket. And to make things worse, the jacket was gaudy and bright red, and the hoodie was over her
head, barely revealing her pair of eyes.
She thought about it seriously. “If I take off my down jacket, can I go in, then?”
The waiter was stunned as he didn’t know how to reply.
Nevertheless, Sophia refused to allow him to have the time to phrase his words. She immediately took
off the hoodie over her head, exposing her elegantly coiled hair-do where every single strand of hair was
set in ce. Her ck hair bun was coiled and twisted, forming a stylish and beautiful arc. Her hair was
embellished with white pearl hair pin, which made her look delicate, graceful and gentle.
Zip! She then gently pulled down the zipper of her down jacket, and the piercing sound of the friction
between metals was heard by everyone. She bent down while pulling the zipper from the top to the
bottom, slowly opening her jacket. The jacket was slowly pulled apart starting from her shoulders.
A row of pearls was revealed from the parted down jacket.
Richard, who was standing behind Sophia, seemed to have mes ignited in his eyes, and his gaze was
completely focused on her.
The gaudy, bright-red down jacket was gradually pulled apart, revealing a fair, tender neck that
resembled a swan’s, her sharp jawline, and also her red lips, which contained a hint of a snicker.
As the down jacket slid down, her bare scaps were perfectly shown in front of everyone. She looked
like a cocoon slowly splitting apart, and the beautiful butterfly gently spread its gorgeous wings,
preparing to soar to the sky at any time.
Half of her back was then revealed. Her fair, jade-likeplexion was wless; her lines were soft and
captivating, resembling Venus’ figure, and not a single imperfection could be found.
The down jacket waspletely taken off, and everyone was finally able to see her attire underneath. It
was an ivory backless sleeveless evening gown. Ivory color best enhanced the skin tone, causing her
complexion on her chest and back to look extremely fair. A diamond ne hung on top of her fair
chest, gleaming like stars.
The ivory evening gown was so long that the hem reached the floor. The custom-made gown perfectly
entuated her sexy hourss figure.
There was a pin-drop silence at the scene.
Richard, who was behind her, could only see her back, but his eyes brightened up at the sight of her
astonishing looks.
Sophia blinked her dark eyes, and she handed her down jacket to the waiter. “My apologies. It was too
cold outside, so I had toe in my down jacket. Can I enter now?”
On her right hand, a ring was shining with dazzling red glimmer.
The waiter was awestruck by her appearance and stuttered, “Y-Yes, of course!”
Then, he eagerly helped her to store her down jacket.
Carefully stepping on her diamond heels, she paced inside in a poised manner. As she was slowly
walking on the red carpet, the hem of the ivory evening gown dragged along the path.
It was not until she had taken a few steps that the crowd came to their senses.
X and Ka looked at the dazzling Sophia in disbelief.
A hint of viciousness shed across X’s eyes, but she just scoffed. She then caught up to Sophia and
pretended to tug her hand in astonishment. “Wow, Sophia, are you wearing the ‘Eternal Love’ from Ido?
Where did you get the replica? It looks real!”
X’s words reminded everyone who had fallen in a daze due to her beauty.
It’s impossible that Sophia could afford such a stunning evening gown. It must be a fake! How much has
she spent on it? 1,000? Or 2,000? And also the ring on her finger—it looks like a replica of the Imperial
Diamond Ring from Ido. It looks real, but it’s still a replica nheless. The real ‘Eternal Love’ has been
bought by the Harper Family, and it will be given to X as a surprise gift today! By wearing a high-
quality fake of the ‘Eternal Love’ today, isn’t she only going to humiliate herself?
After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone returned to the scornful attitude they had earlier. Ugly
words kept popping out of their mouth while their eyes kept turning toward Sophia.
Although they were fake, the ‘replicas’ brought out her temperament, and they didn’t look fake at all. This
caused everyone to wonder where she got them from!
Upon hearing X’s pretentious awe-struckments, Sophia lowered her head to look at the ring on
her finger. The crimson diamond resembled a poppy, radiating an enticing gleam.
Her fiery, red lips slightly quirked up as she replied, “I have no idea too. It was a gift from someone.”
No matter how she answered, everyone would think that they were fake.
X hugged her arm pretentiously before deliberately cing her diamond ring, which was worth a
million, next to her ‘replica’, as if she wasparing them.
“You like the ‘Eternal Love’? I love it as well!”
However, her diamond ring that was worth a million was vaguely unmatched to the high-quality replica—
the color of the replica actually overpowered a real diamond ring, and the replica seemed more elegant!
Not only was the ring inferior to the replica; even Sophia’s ivory gown seemed to outshine her snow-
white gown.
A nosy student at the scene secretly took a photo of the two of them in an attempt to post it to the forum
of Bayside University. However, even after she took several photos of them, Sophia seemed immacte
in the photos, shining bright and fair like a princess. Her pearl-white skin and ivory gownplemented
each other. It was a perfect look.
Ivory gowns could easily brighten one’s skin tone. However, only those with a fairplexion would have
the courage to wear it; those without a fairplexion would only embarrass themselves if they put it on.
Now, X was eagerly gluing herself onto Sophia, and the ivory gown made her look darker by a few
tones. She looked tragicpared to Sophia when she stood next to her.
