Chapter 1477:

Before Jayden could answer, the sharp, rhythmic click of high heels echoed through the house, cutting through the air like a dramatic drumroll.

Every head turned toward the staircase as Freda appeared, descending like she owned the moment. Her hair was swept into an impeccable half-updo, framing her face like a masterpiece. A dazzling crimson gown clung to her every curve, shimmering like starlight with every calculated step. The unmistakable red soles of her towering heels punctuated her entrance like exclamation marks.

Her long legs seemed to stretch on forever, and the elegant dip of her collarbone flowed seamlessly into a décolletage that left little to the imagination.
