Chapter 105
'Maybe it's because Willow has become popular now and has been invited by exception! In short, Willow's ability to get invited to such an event has salvaged my status in the family! Stephen stood up and went upstairs in silence-that was when the atmosphere of the room brightened slightly.
Leila smiled. "I'll go upstairs to see your father."
Leila followed him to the room. Seeing that Stephen's expression looked distressed, she stepped forward and grabbed his arm. "Dear, what's the matter with you?"
Stephen flung her hand away. "As a mother, how can you allow your daughter to act like this?"
Leila, who got scolded out of the blue, felt baffled. "What's wrong with Willie?"
"She's not the designer of all those jewelry. You can fool anyone else and Mother, but you can't fool me."
Stephen knew too much about his daughter.
He would be convinced if the series of jewelry were said to be designed by Maisie because her ability and strength were obviously up there.
However, if they were said to be designed by Willow, he could not convince himself to believe in the statement at all.
Leila stepped forward and hugged him. "Dear, you've misunderstood Willie. Willie's been learning jewelry design, it's just she didn't tell you about that." Stephen remained silent.
Leila then added aggrievedly. "Willie is doing so for Vaenna too. Yes, she's not as competenta s Zee, but she's been working hard. If you don't believe her, just let it be. But can't you recognize her hard work?"
"It's not that I don't recognize it, but how can she come up with such perfect designs in such a short period of time?" Stephen did not know why, but he had always had an ominous premonition deep down. 'Those designs look very familiar, especially their design concept.'
Leila coaxed him and caressed his chest with her fingertips. "Dear, let's not worry about Willie's affair. It's time to talk about us.
"You know, your mother has her eyes fixed on Vaenna now. If we can still bear a son, she'll definitely value us more."
Leila took the initiative to kiss Stephen.
Although Leila was already in her 40s, she had maintained herself well.
She also knew men very well, especially when it came to such matters. She had always been very open-minded and extremely sexy. She was so seductive that no man would be able to withstand her, and after two to three minutes, Stephen could no longer hold himself back anymore.
The next day, in the evening...
The socialite party took place at the popular VIP Hall of the Regal Ballroom. A red carpet had been laid outside the entrance, and dozens of security guards were there keeping order.
The cars entering and leaving were all luxurious ones that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions, and the ladies who got out of all the cars were gorgeously dressed and had an elegant demeanor.
In the center of the magnificent banquet hall were a huge variety of snack and cake layered trays, fruit platters, and various fine wines.
Familiar celebrities and socialites would gather around to drink and chat, discussing the influential and wealthy representatives of the city.
Of course, the top attendees would enter the venue through private passages. Their invitation cards were black in color-black represented the filthy rich and the powerful, while white represented ladies from ordinary wealthy families.
Maisie walked slowly among the crowd holding a wine glass. The beautifully curved tube top evening dress made her waist look exceptionally slender, and the black hair bun brought out the best of the snow- white dress.
The irregularly long and short crystal tassel earrings hanging on both of her ears became the ultimate finishing touch. The delicate folds at the hem of the long dress waved gently as she ambled down the aisle and she looked like a blooming lily.
"Zee..." Kennedy walked toward her. "There's a mix of people from all walks of life here, so don't run around."
"Got it." Maisie smiled.
'Although attending such parties has never piqued my interest, Willow's here, so why shouldn't I come and join in the fun?
Sure enough, Willow appeared at the occasion.
She wore a strapless black evening dress with high forks and had curled her hair, her makeup looking particularly heavy and glamorous.
