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

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

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

When she turned around, she flaunted stunning collarbones.
