He finally placed the Heart of the Ocean Necklace around her fair neck.
Eva Nightingale felt a cool sensation around her neck.
Then she opened her eyes.
Because of the garden lights, which were yellowish, and without a mirror, she couldn’t clearly see what the necklace around her neck looked like.
Lucas Knight, satisfied, held her small hand and led her back onto the red carpet: "Go into the banquet hall, eat something, and don’t wander around."
The banquet hall, filled with clinking glasses and the fragrance of perfumes, lay just before her.
She obediently walked in.
As for him, he disappeared into the night, and who knew what he went to do...
"Why is the invitation in your hand different from ours? It’s a counterfeit, isn’t it?"
At the entrance of the banquet hall, several ladies blocked Eva Nightingale’s path.
They criticized, "Look at our invitations, they all have the Crown Prince’s personal signature!"
The invitations shone with golden light.
The invitations were inlaid with gold thread and adorned with a golden rose.
Their invitations were all identical, incredibly luxurious, the most extravagant in history.
Eva looked at the invitation in her hand and realized that what Harry North gave her was indeed an invitation to the banquet.
Doesn’t entering the banquet hall require an invitation?
However, how could what Harry North gave her be fake? That’s impossible!
Harry North wouldn’t deceive her, wouldn’t trick her.
Eva looked at the invitation in her hand; it had no rose, only a red stamp with some traditional characters and gold thread, which she couldn’t recognize.
This kind of invitation... she had indeed never seen before.
Moreover, her invitation was indeed a bit similar to those women’s.
No, it was very different!
"See? Why aren’t you saying anything now?"
"I told you her invitation was fake! It doesn’t even have a rose or the Crown Prince’s signature!"
"Stupid woman, don’t you know that using a fake invitation to attend the banquet will end badly? It’s so embarrassing, do you know that?"
"Exactly, I’m embarrassed just thinking about it—oh boy, trying to sneak in with a fake invitation. Tsk tsk tsk! It’s really enough! If it were me, I’d find a block of tofu to knock myself out! Hahaha!"
Eva just raised her eyes slightly: "Move aside!"
Even though the invitation was different from theirs, she was confident it wasn’t fake.
"We won’t move! If you dare, show us the invitation in your hand! Let us see if it’s real, if it’s like ours!"
"Yes, yes, show us so we can verify it!"
These people weren’t truly interested in verifying anything.
Picking a fight was their real goal.
Eva’s outfit was so beautiful that it stole their thunder, and tonight they hoped to meet the Crown Prince!
If Eva overshadowed them and drew that prince’s attention, wouldn’t they be left out in the cold?
Look at this woman, dressed like that!
Covered in luxury jewelry...
Their gaze paused on Eva’s hand and neck...
After a few seconds of staring, they burst into laughter: "And you say you didn’t fake the invitation!"
"You’re even wearing the Heart of the Ocean, tsk tsk! How does it feel to wear a counterfeit on yourself?"
The Heart of the Ocean was famous, especially rare.
It was something women dreamed of.
They had only seen it in world-renowned fashion magazines, and only in pictures...
