Chapter 393

After all, almost all of the most powerful people in Iverton, and in fact, in the entire country,

,were here.

Lea drained the champagne in her hand with a tile of her head. When the waiter passed by, she picked up a new glass of champagne and returned to Jonah Manning’s side.

“How boring. When will the b

banquet start?” Willow Alvarez also joined them.

Initially, she had shown up to broaden her horizons and see what high society looked like. However, after walking one round, she was greeted with nothing but derision.

The few times when Willow chatted with people, it was either she couldn’t understand what they were saying, or they didn’t understand her. She fel sotally out of place and it made her uncomfortable. All she wanted to do was go back to conduct experiments.

It was the same for Shannon Moore. At first, she wanted to get to know some people in her capacity as the daughter of the Moore family.

In the end, some people who knew her stepped forward to mock her. Those families which were more influential than the Moore family ignored her completely

Shannon learned from Lea that if she wanted to gain a foothold in this circle, she herself had to be strong. She might as well go back and study software technology

After all, she already had the most powerful connection in the form of Lea Berry

On the other hand, Steve Watkins did not have any aristocratie background and had nothing to begin with. Thus, he did not have any scruples and boldly approached a few movers and shakers in the legal, government, and political spheres to pave the way for his future.

However, everyone Sieve approached could not be bothered with a nobody like him, and so he returned very quickly,

Their small group of Conrad University alumni were reunited again.

“It’s already time. Why hasn’t flake Andrews appeared yet!” Willow could not help asking,

If not for Lea and Alfred Andrews, she would have left long ago.

However, she couldn’t leave now. She was a part of Lea’s maiden family and was here to give Lea support

“I think he’s here, Steve piped up. The banquet hall gradually quietened down.

The doors swung open slowly. Outside, the sky had already darkened, and the contrast turned the light at the entrance into a spotlight shining on the people who had appeared at the entranceway.

Tap, tap, tap. The sound of high heels echoed in the quiet hall. It was exceptionally pleasing to the ear.

All eyes were on the people who came in. They were a mother–and–daughter pair.

The mother was in her forties, but there were almost no wrinkles on her face. Some people would have thought that she was in her early thirties. She had purple wavy hair, dark green eyes, and wore a burgundy evening gown. Her makeup was glamorous and gorgeous.

The daughter linked her arm with her mother. She had long golden hair and pale green eyes. Her dainty face had exquisite facial features, and her sun–kissed skin was aglow. The pale yellow strapless gown with a fitted bodice only served to accentuate the curves of her figure.

Her head, and her bust, waist, and hip were perfectly proportioned. Her bearing was pure yet exuding desirability.

With just a glance, all the male guests became captivated by her.

“In Artene! And her mother, Mrs Mayer A young girl exclaimed.

“That’s right! It’s bert The young girl hugged her companion and jumped up excitedly. “I just got her game endorsement autograph and photograph this morning

“She’i ng lerautiful. She’s indeed the very epitome of a fairy!”

“She’s like an angel who his descended from the heaven!”

“Oh! To think th can see her in person with my own eyes. I’m going crazy!”

“I bought all the products she endorsed. Arlene baby, please accept my

The whole venue was awash with excited voices.

The people who attended this event were all rich second–generation heirs. They rarely chased celebrities and were never so fanatical.

Yet now, they were going wilder for this “Arlene” than normal people running after their idols.

“This is the first time a celebrity has appeared at such a banquet. And it’s Blake Andrews’s birthday banquet no less.”

“That’s true. It’s unprecedented, some of the older guests said with a sigh.

No matter how famous celebrities were, in the eyes of these upper–class families, they were just actors who wanted to please people. Thus, upper- class families did not like to go near these celebrities.

“Arlene is indeed very beautiful. No wonder young people are crazy about her”

“Even if she’s a celebrity, she must have an extraordinary background if she is able to reach this level of fame”

“That’s right. I heard that Mrs. Mayer is also a famous socialite in Maspeyria. She hails from a very influential and wealthy family.”

The older guests whispered endlessly too.

As Arlene and her mother approached, the guests subconsciously made way for them. Only then did Lea see the mother and daughter clearly. Her eyes widened and her expression clouded over.

When Jonah Manning saw Lea’s reaction, he explained. This Arlene and her mother, Mrs. Mayer, are Maspeyria natives. The girl just celebrated her eighteenth birthday two months ago She’s an artificial beauty.

was in a car accident when she was fifteen. Her face was badly burned, so she’s been undergoing plastic surgery

“It’s indeed a miracle that she is able to reach this level. And her plastic surgeon is the guy walking behind them by the name of Jeremiah”

Lea looked behind the two women and saw a young man in his late twenties. He also looked like a Maspeyria native. His chestnut hair was tied into a bun at the back of his head, and he was wearing a silver high–tech–looking suit. He looked every bit like some bigshot artist dabbling in technology.

Jonah added, “Not only is he Arlene’s plastic surgeon, but he’s also one of the shareholders of Paragon Esthetics Clinic.

“That Mrs. Mayer is a famous socialite in Maspeyria. Her family has plenty of capital backing

“Arlene debuted as the spokesperson for Paragon Esthetics Clinic. After she made her appearance, the clinic’s shares soared. On top of that, the clinic also received close to two billion dollars in investment. The girl even started a trend of plastic surgery overseas,

“Now, this trend has already spread throughout our country. Paragon Esthetics Clinic is preparing to open a branch in Iverton. I reckon that the clinic will be operational in less than three months”

I’ve never seen any

“Over the past two months, two–thirds of the luxury brands overseas have already approached her to endorse their products. She only arrived in Iverton last week but half of the luxury brands in the country have already flocked to her to sign endorsement contracts,

“She has also snatched away the endorsements of the few A–listers under us. Without a doubt, she’s now the world’s top celebrity.”

As soon as Jonah finished speaking, a shattering sound was heard

The champagne glass in Lea’s hand had been crushed.

As the champagne and blood flowed down her hand, Lea didn’t seem to feel any pain,

She stared at Mr. Mayer and her daughter, and a guttural chuckle could be heard from her throat that was both sinister and arrogant
