The term "wealthy patron" almost made Bella choke on her own spit.
She looked at the man in front of her, who resembled a fairy, and suddenly wasn’t sure whether her decision was right or wrong.
"Shut up, smile, and show the commanding aura of the Lord of Hades."
What the hell are these adjectives?
Bella took a deep breath and then put on an incredibly sweet smile, her brows arching adorably.
Then, she raised her hand and took Louis’s arm.
Looking at the slender wrist on his arm, Louis’s eyes darkened slightly, and his smile grew deeper and more devilish.
Inside the estate, there was a very large banquet hall, which, although not on par with top venues, was still one of the best in Brocade City. Hence, it was a popular place for socialites and wealthy young people to gather.
At this moment, the banquet hall was bustling with people, chatting and drinking merrily.
This party was initiated by Anna Green, and although there wasn’t any special title, everyone knew that Vivian Thornecroft had returned to the country.
This gathering was nothing more than a chance to flaunt their relationships.
But everyone was indeed looking forward to it, the reason being the Green family’s laughingstock, Bella Green.
It was said that Bella would do anything for Vivian Thornecroft, so they were eager to witness the spectacle.
"Hey, do you think Bella will show up today? After all, Anna and Vivian are pairing up, she probably wouldn’t come to embarrass herself, right?" someone questioned.
"Hey, you’re wrong there. That Bella, I’ve seen her, she’s quite ugly and shameless. Now that Vivian is here, how could she not come?"
"Huh? No way, I think Daniel Green looks quite handsome, and she’s his biological sister, can’t be that different, right?"
"Let me tell you, you really missed out last time. Bella is not only ugly but also as tacky as can be, completely incomparable to Anna."
The woman speaking was Anna Green’s number one lackey, showing undisguised disdain.
Seeing her say this, everyone was convinced.
"Whoa, who’s that woman, she’s so...beautiful!"
Someone exclaimed, drawing everyone gossiping to look over.
At the door of the banquet hall, a pretty girl in a pale yellow dress calmly entered, arm-in-arm with a flamboyantly handsome man.
Together, they were as beautiful as a finely crafted painting, as if they had just stepped out from one.
"No way, that man is so handsome, my God, how can he have such an enchanting smile?" an excited female voice rang out.
"I tell you, both of them are good-looking. How can that girl be so cute, oh, I just want to pinch her cheeks to see if they’re made of jelly, they’re so rosy."
"But why do they look so unfamiliar? I don’t think I’ve seen them before."
"What’s so good-looking about them? Just two eyes and a mouth." The woman who was previously criticizing Bella was unhappy that the majority of attention had shifted to the girl in front of her, so she spoke again, trying to regain their focus.
"Why hasn’t that ugly duckling Bella shown up yet? I’m waiting to see her bawl her eyes out clinging to Vivian. Speaking of which, Vivian is rather pitiful, being pestered by that disgusting creature Bella."
No one seemed to pay attention to what she said, only seeing the pretty doll-like girl walk over, smiling as she stood in front of the woman.
"So, Bella is an ugly duckling, huh?"
