The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 193

With a nod and a smile, Natalia addressed her maid, “It’s not as dramatic as you’re making it out to be. Let’s get to the dinner party, shall we?”

“Seriously, Miss, you’re like an angel fallen from heaven. Absolutely stunning.” The maid continusa to shower Natalia with praises and even puffed out her own chest with a sense of pride. It was as if serving such a beautiful woman was her own greatest honor.

Natalia chuckled softly. Her steps were light and swift as she moved forward, and her mood was incredibly upbeat.

The dinner party was held in the back garden of the castle. By the time Natalia and her maid arrived, the venue had already been transformed into a dazzling scene of luxury. Looking at the banner hanging in the semi–open air of the garden, Natalia squinted her eyes, reading each word aloud, “Celebrating Miss Natalia’s triumphant win at the design competition?”

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Natalia’s mouth. Who came up with this banner? Was it purposely designed to mock her?

Callum! Must be him!

Moreover, what was the meaning of “triumphant win“? She had fairly participated in the competition, not a boxing match. Could they refrain from using the term “triumphant“?

As Natalia was internally criticizing the banner, she was unaware that all eyes at the venue were focused on her. This place was never short of beautiful women. However, they had never seen someone quite as ethereal as Natalia. Ever since she had woken up, Callum had kept her well–protected and hidden, leaving many completely unaware of her existence. But now, they were truly beholding her beauty.

Her fashionable evening gown clung tightly to her exquisite figure, accentuating her already perfect curves, and making her all the more alluring. The silver–white gown was embroidered with silver threads that shimmered under the lighting, making her appear as though she was cloaked in stardust.
