In the blink of an eye, the sun set and the moon rose.
On the six-story luxury cruise ship, glasses clinked and the air was filled with the fragrance of perfume and hints of glamour.
Eva Nightingale wore a water-red evening gown adorned with lace edges, embellished with countless tiny aquamarine gems and fragments of diamonds.
Under the dazzling neon lights, the gown shimmered brightly.
"Later, have fun on your own, okay?" Lucas Knight placed a diamond-studded tiara on her head.
Then, he kissed her forehead.
"So beautiful." Little thing, is she a fairy?
Eva blushed: "Thank you."
The man curled his lips, grabbed her small hand, and walked into the banquet hall before letting go, reminding her: "Be good, don’t wander around, find me if you need anything."
"Okay." Eva responded.
Afterwards, Lucas Knight’s tall and straight figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.
In the banquet hall, countless refreshments and drinks were laid out, a dazzling array of choices, with a champagne tower standing taller than a person.
The young ladies and affluent young gentlemen sipped champagne lightly and suddenly locked their gaze on Eva: "Wow, who is that woman?"
"It seemed like the Crown Prince just brought her to the banquet hall!"
"Tsk tsk, how could that be? The Crown Prince is the most noble and aloof man of the Sovereign Empire, how could he be with her?"
"Exactly, I don’t believe it either. The line of women wanting to be the First Lady stretches to the Milky Way, what does she count for."
Eva sat quietly by herself, holding a glass of champagne with her slender jade-like fingers, exuding an unparalleled elegance.
The evening gown perfectly matched her aura, making her beauty beyond compare.
It was precisely this innate noble demeanor of Eva that infuriated the group of women nearby.
Envy, jealousy, hatred.
"Hmph, what’s with the arrogance? Does she think she’s the mistress here?"
"Hey, her dress seems to be a new release this season, the diamonds are so beautiful, ah ah ah—"
"Hmph, it must be fake! That gown of hers, without an eight or nine-digit price tag, don’t even think of looking at it. With so many diamonds and gems, they must all be fake. Yes, her dress is definitely fake!"
"Come on, let’s go confront her."
The women exchanged glances, then took their glasses and walked towards Eva.
A glass of wine was poured towards Eva, spilling directly onto her.
The red wine soaked her gown, changing its color.
"Ah, I’m really sorry—"
"Exactly, exactly, look at me accidentally pouring a drink, but how did you catch it all."
"..." Eva felt a chill spread across her chest, and without saying a word, she took the drink in her hand and poured it over the woman in front of her.
The wine splashed directly on the woman’s face, ruining her makeup entirely, and soaking her gown.
Calmly retracting her hand, Eva said: "Oh~ I’m sorry too, tsk tsk, my hand slipped~~"
"You!" The woman was furious, gritting her teeth, "You did it on purpose, look at how you’ve ruined my makeup, and my gown... do you know how expensive my dress is!!"
Another person shouted: "Eva, you slut, wearing a knockoff gown to the ball, jealous of others and pouring wine on them... ah!!"
Before the woman could finish cursing, Eva again took a glass of red wine and splashed it over her, laughing: "Oh, sorry~ my hand just won’t behave~"
The woman choked on the wine, her face completely drenched.
"You, you just wait for me!"
Due to the soaked dress, the adhesive inside was almost exposed, so the two women hurried to the restroom, as exposing themselves would cause a scene.
