Chapter 114 The Face-Off

Phoebe checked the time and realized that the welcome reception was about to begin. She had to hurry over, luckily the reception was next to the five-star hotel near Todi Stadium.

Theodore had opened a presidential suite on the top floor with a professional styling team waiting for her. As soon as she arrived, everyone started bustling around.

Half an hour later, Phoebe came out wearing a simple yet elegant pink dress that perfectly showcased her innocent and captivating charm reminiscent of first love. She took the elevator downstairs, and the welcome reception had already started.
