Chapter 57
Chapter 58 Sheena did not explain anything and just smirked. “Let’s go. We might miss the action if we're late.”
At the Moore mansion, Jennifer was still getting ready in a dressing room on the second floor. She had been preparing since noon, determined to outshine everyone and be the center of
attention that night.
Erin sat next to her, chatting away. “If it weren't for your invitation to this banquet, Eli would probably have kept me grounded for who knows how long. You don’t know how strict those people are at the Freeman mansion. It’s unbearable!”
Jennifer comforted her with a smile, “Well, you’re out now, and | doubt Eli will lock you up again.”
“That’s hard to say. Eli is stubborn, and he sticks to his principles.” Erin pouted, then continued, “I have no idea what you’ve been up to lately, as you haven’t even been answering my calls. I’m close to thinking that you’ve sold me out.”
Jennifer was stunned, but she quickly held Erin’s hand affectionately. “How could | ever do something like that? You've always been my best friend. It hurts me that you’d think of me like that.”
Erin believed her. “I was just kidding! Anyway, congratulations! Now that you’ve secured your position as the Moore family’s heiress, you'll be even more suitable for Eli!”
Jennifer’s gaze turned cold briefly, but when Erin looked back at her, she flashed a warm smile. Erin did not notice the change and continued talking, “Speaking of which, now that you're the Moore family’s heiress and the future inheritor of the Moore Group, your status is extraordinary. That bitch Sheena can’t do anything to you anymore!”
Jennifer felt immensely proud hearing that.
She was about to reply when a commotion erupted from outside the door as if something had fallen.
The two exchanged a glance and got up to open the door.
Aservant was delivering Jennifer's gown when she accidentally collided with a passing housekeeper’s cart, causing the items to scatter on the ground.
Erin wrinkled her nose in distaste. “Oh my, how did it get so messy? It’s so dirty!” The housekeeper approached nervously, apologizing, “I’m sorry, Ms. Moore. We'll clean it up quickly.”
Jennifer frowned in annoyance, but with Erin present, she could not scold them directly. Instead, she politely smiled and said, “It's alright. We have many guests today, so please tidy up quickly.”
She then turned her attention to the servant who was helping to clean up the mess. “Please bring in the altered gown quickly. Let's not waste any time.”
“Yes, Ms. Moore.” The servant promptly picked up the gown box from the floor and followed Jennifer into the dressing room. Jennifer opened the box, revealing a stunning, white haute couture gown.
Erin was amazed. “Wow! That’s such a beautiful gown! Is this from the renowned designer from abroad, Ms. Zoe? Jenny, you truly deserve to be the star of tonight’s banquet. Your parents really dote on you. I’m so envious.”
Jennifer felt flattered by the praise and modestly replied, “Oh, come on! It’s nothing. Erin, you're the little princess pampered by the Freeman family, after all.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
They complimented each other back and forth. Erin even took a few snapshots to showcase their friendship on Twitter, accompanied by the caption, [My best friend’s homecoming banquet! She’s gorgeous.]
This quickly drew a flood of comments from Erin’s fans, showering them with praise, which Erin enjoyed as she had been locked up for a long time.
Jennifer smiled along, trying to get her to leave. “Erin, could you please check how many guests have arrived outside? Isn’t it almost time to start?”
“Sure.”
Once Erin left, Jennifer promptly made a call.
“How’s that bitch? Will there be any issues tonight?”
Katie replied confidently, “No worries, my people are keeping a close eye on her. Just enjoy the show.”
With Katie’s assurance, Jennifer finally let go of her worries. Thinking about the upcoming show, she could not help but feel the excitement bubbling within her.
Tonight, she was determined to outshine that bitch and become Farlem’s top socialite!
