Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 149: The Day Of Engagement

At one of the city’s most luxurious hotels, Briena stood before a grand mirror inside her private suite, getting dressed for her big day.

"You look absolutely stunning, Briena," Lilly praised, her tone filled with admiration. "I’m sure Ivan won’t be able to take his eyes off you anymore."

Briena smiled at her reflection, her confidence unwavering. She had always been proud of her beauty, and today was no different.

She wore an elegant ivory, floor-length mermaid gown with an off-shoulder neckline. The fabric hugged her silhouette perfectly, accentuating her graceful curves before cascading softly to the floor. Her hair was swept into a loose, elegant bun, revealing her slender neck and bare shoulders, further enhancing her allure. Perfectly applied makeup and delicate, expensive jewelry completed her look.

"Ivan will regret ever wasting time with your sister," Lilly sneered. "She’s far from pretty and doesn’t even know how to dress properly."

Briena’s smug smile deepened as she gave herself a final once-over, ensuring everything was flawless.

Just then, Clara entered the room, her expression lighting up with joy as she took in the sight of her daughter.

"You look breathtaking, sweetheart," Clara said warmly, pride gleaming in her eyes.

Briena glanced at her mother through the mirror, catching the happiness radiating from her. After a moment, she turned toward Clara and gave a subtle nod.

"Leave us," Briena instructed, and Lilly quickly excused herself, along with the other attendants.
