Chapter 49

Brie stepped out of the car in her high heels as the crowd watched in anticipation.

She wore a black evening gown. It was cut close to her body, showing off her curvaceous figure. As she walked, her fair feet flitted in and

Someone couldn’t help but comment in a low voice. “My God, is this the same nouveau riche young lady I remember?”

“How well Brie is showing off her assets! And what a figure she has!”

“When did her taste in fashion become so good?”

When Brie heard these comments and more, she smiled in satisfaction.

This was the exact reaction she’d been aiming for.

Brie frowned. When she turned back to look, she was completely shocked.

When she turned around, she flaunted stunning collarbones.

When everyone realized that it was the usually proper and elegant Caroline, they were even more shocked.
