Chapter 628 Step by Step
Rose wasn't sure how long she had been staying in that secret villa. She knew that something was happening outside. Since the day Jonathan left, he never returned, but Elijah and Clover came by every day.
They all seemed to have developed a great understanding with each other. Rose didn't ask about their plan, and they didn't bring it up either.
On this day, Rose finished Clover's suit. After trying it on, Clover asked Finley to bring a few gowns for Rose to choose from.
Rose then immediately realized she could leave. Had the plan succeeded?
Rose thought about Kelly, and a glint of coldness appeared in her eyes. She understood that they had prepared these clothes for her to wear when meeting Kelly.
Which one should she wear?
Rose looked around, and quickly, her eyes landed on a red floor-length gown. It reminded her of a similar K&K limited edition dress she once wore to a dinner party at Aquastead with the Lane family.
Rose smirked and said, "This is the one."
When Rose came out wearing her gown and appeared before Elijah and Clover, it left the two momentarily stunned.
Rose looked beautiful. They had always known this fact. Even though they saw her every day and were accustomed to it, at this moment, her red dress made her stand out and left them feeling amazed.
Rose felt a bit embarrassed from being stared at.
"Is it okay if I wear this?" she asked. Did she choose the wrong outfit?
Clover immediately snapped back to reality and said, "Yes, of course."
Rose looked great in anything she wore. Whenever she wore a gown, it added a special touch to the gown itself. Clover adjusted his already perfectly neat suit and gown, feeling extremely satisfied. "It matches perfectly with mine!"
Clover felt extremely proud.
Rose found it amusing, but Finley couldn't help but quietly criticize Clover in his mind.
He was just a cousin-what kind of match was he talking about? Of course, it had to be Jonathan who matched with Rose!
These past few days, he frequently heard Leonard mention how much Jonathan missed his wife. Today, the pitiful Jonathan finally got to meet Rose, and Finley was truly happy for him.
"Let's go."
Elijah glanced at the time and gently interrupted Clover's moment of glee.
They got into a car and drove out from the underground garage, maintaining a low profile the entire way. Rose took in the fresh air outside and noticed her slightly upturned smile reflected in the car window.
Kelly... They would be meeting again today!
Would she be happy to meet an old acquaintance again?
A cold and chilly look spread across Rose's eyes.
At that moment, even though Kelly was surrounded and celebrated by many people like a star, she inexplicably felt a chill, as if a cold wind was blowing on her back. She even shivered.
"Ms. Harriette, are you cold?" someone asked.
It seemed that having a different value led to a different status and position.
Just from her subtle reaction, someone else immediately noticed and quickly showed their concern.
Was she cold?
Kelly experienced a moment of confusion in her mind. Before she could respond,
a wave of concern from the others surrounding her overwhelmed her.
"Ms. Harriette, make sure to wear more layers..."
"I'm going to get a coat for Ms. Harriette..."
Despite that, everyone was a bit surprised internally. How could she be cold in this weather? They warmly complimented the lady, insisting that they actually felt
warm.
While thinking of that, someone suddenly asked, "Should we start getting ready for the dinner party?"
With that comment, everyone immediately snapped back to reality.
"Yes, it's about time for the dinner party. Let's not delay Ms. Harriette's preparations."
"Everyone, let's wait for the dinner party and then have a proper toast to congratulate Ms. Harriette."
Under the crowd's overwhelming enthusiasm, Kelly only needed to smile gently.
Earlier, she was excited and thrilled; now, amidst her excitement and thrill, there was also a touch of disdain.
Weren't these people praising and flattering her the same ones who previously received generous gifts from Jonathan and treated Rose like royalty?
But now, they were trying to flatter her?
Kelly held her head high as she walked out of the conference room, unaware that several people inside were left with disappointed expressions.
The group of people mentioned were the ones who initially supported Kelly.
Miled really enjoyed spoiling Harriette. He treated her even better than he did Rose.
It' hadn't been easy for them to decipher the subtle hint in Miles' call last night. He
had said his greatest wish was to see his sister happy.
Just now... they did okay, right? They definitely did!
Each of them felt satisfied with their own performance a moment ago, but there were things they expressed were different from what they truly felt.
When they compared Harriette and Rose, Rose was clearly better than her! Although Harriette usually smiled when she saw them, and Rose had too, the impression their smiles gave was different.
Rose's smile made people feel warmth and that she was approachable. Harriette's smile felt warm, but there was something peculiar about that warmth. It seemed like it wasn't sincere, and at times, it even made one's skin tingle.
When they thought about Rose, those few people couldn't help but sigh.
Young Group's design director's office had a private lounge. Today,
Kelly was the main focus of the
dinner party, so she needed to stand
out in both her gown and he makeup.
She was in the private lounge, changed into a gown, and made sure to leave some time to find Miles. "Hey, Miles, how do I look in this outfit?" she asked.
The gown was white. It was a simple design, understated and reserved, reflecting
her grief and respect for the passing of Rose.
Miles smiled warmly, saying, "It's nice."
"Let me quickly put on some
makeup. Just wait for a moment It
won't take long." Kelly hurried to
grab her bag, but when she opened it, she couldn't find her makeup pouch.
"Oh no, what should I do? I could have sworn I brought some basic lipstick and foundation."
Kelly looked dejected.
Feeling disappointed, she tossed her bag aside and looked at Miles. "Miles, do you think not wearing makeup shows a lack of respect for this dinner party?"
"Why aren't you wearing makeup? If it's just because you didn't bring my cosmetics, I'll arrange for a makeup artist right away." Miles took out his phone. However, Kelly stopped him. "Don't. It's alright."
Kelly wasn't against having a makeup artist. She just didn't want to use the one arranged by Miles. "Let me find one myself," she said.noveldrama
The makeup artist was prepared ahead of time. She spent a lot of money on the makeup artist, not just on makeup but also to assist her in acting.
Kelly wanted every detail to be perfect for tonight's dinner party, reflecting her current status and wealth.
"Alright." Miles quietly watched her performance.
Kelly quickly made a phone call.
After some worried discussion about the makeup artist not making
it on time, they decided to meet at the location where the dinner party was being held, scheduling it for half an hour later.
The venue for the dinner party was a mountaintop villa owned by the Young family. The villa was located in the suburbs of Regalia, situated on a little-known
hillside.
Half an hour later, when Kelly and Miles arrived at the venue, the mountains at dusk carried an inexplicable chill.
Kelly didn't like it here. "Miles, why did you choose to have the dinner party here?"
she asked.
What do you think?
