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

out of sight at the slit of her dress. She looked elegant and proper.

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.

For the past few days, she’d been practicing her posture every day. She’d picked out this dress and make–up to let everyone know that

she was even more proper and sophisticated than Caroline!

She happily picked up the pen. Just as she was about to sign her name in the guest book, there was a huge commotion behind her.

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

A woman came out of a plain and ordinary car.

She was wearing a long black dress. It showed off the woman’s beautiful shoulder lines. A pearl–colored belt cinched her slim waist. She wore red high heels and showed off her slender neck. She was gorgeous.

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.

It was clear just how beautiful Caroline was. However, no one had ever expected that she could look so seductive. She was so captivating it made the crowd’s jaw drop.
