Grayson felt distressed about the ten grand evening gown being hauled that way. 'It was indeed destined to be laid to waste.'

Once Rose entered the banquet's entrance, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Her beauty was extraordinarily exquisite, and the evening gown she wore helped her stand out from the crowd.
