glances tonight. He felt like he was losing out.
Meanwhile, in another dress store, Hannie was dressed in a gold evening gown that accentuated the perfection of
her figure, giving her a sexy yet elegant look.
She was in a great mood at the thought of meeting Jared tonight, even though she knew he might bring his
girlfriend. That feeling of excitement was even more exhilarating.
She had a bad streak in her bones-she loved taking what belonged to others, which was more fun when it was
stolen. “See you tonight, Jared.” Hannie smirked as she looked at his photo on her phone..
The banquet began at 6.30PM. Averna was exceptionally lively tonight as the wealthy and powerful gathered at the
Royal Hotel to attend the grand event.
The guest list was strict and exclusive, accepting only those who were exceptional and truly deserving of an
invitation. Tonight, there was also a rare jewelry auction taking place.
A black car stopped at the hotel entrance, and as the security guards approached, the bodyguards behind the black
car quickly stepped out to stop them and gestured for them to step back.
The security guards knew the people in the car were VIPs and obediently took a few steps back.
A bodyguard pulled open the back door to reveal a slender leg dressed in suit pants stepping out of the car before
it was followed by a young man who was exceptionally handsome under the light, exuding a graceful and noble
aura that was unparalleled.

smooth as jade with beautiful features that radiated a clean, fresh aura.
Wow, she’s so pretty! The security guards could only take a quick glance before lowering their eyes. The girls who
came tonight were all beautiful, but this one was particularly unique as they couldn’t see that kind of materialistic
feeling in her.

beautiful moments of the guests as she confidently waved at the camera. Throughout the year of her
transformation, she had no one by her side.
She had gone from her initial nervousness to her current composure every time she went to a chess competition
and faced the media. As she had experienced a lot, it strengthened her inner self.
If Jared had accompanied her back then, he might have hindered her growth instead of helping her. Only by
breaking away from the people who supported her could she truly grow up.
As soon as they entered the elevator, his gaze fell on her affectionately, and he even tidied up the little strands of
hair near her ears. His girl had really grown up and matured a lot!
