Chapter 35
Kendra gave him an ingratiating smile and didn’t miss an opportunity to butter up to him.
“You flatter me, Mr.
Navarro.
Please, come in!”
Samuel Navarro was a wealthy businessman.
In his early years, he operated a series of underground casinos, amassing a considerable fortune.
With his earnings, he established his own company, which currently possessed a portfolio of medium-sized hotels and karaoke establishments.
It was safe to say he was the richest guest among everyone Kendra had invited.
Kendra personally escorted Samuel into the banquet hall and arranged for him to sit in the front row.
All the while, Samuel’s eyes roved her body unscrupulously, and he kept pretending to “accidentally” touch her always.
Kendra felt sick to her stomach, but she could not afford to offend such a rich and powerful man.
She could only swallow her disgust and continue to flatter him.
When she finally got rid of the dirty old pervert, she looked around and found that almost all the guests had come, but Lindsey, tonight’s main character, was nowhere to be seen.
Kendra found Chayce in the crowd and asked him to call Lindsey.
But before Chayce could even dial the number, an uproar in the banquet hall interrupted his thoughts.
Everyone craned their necks to look at the entrance, including Kendra.
Lindsey strode into the banquet hall gracefully, like an angel descending from heaven.
Her makeup was tasteful, and she had her long hair partly pinned up while the rest flowed freely down her back.
Her choice was an incredibly stunning, pure white evening gown.
With her sweet, charming smile, she lit up the room.
“Wow! Who’s that? She’s gorgeous!” The guests around couldn’t help but gawk at Lindsey.
“That’s Lindsey Stewart, the bride-to-be!”
“That dress-isn’t that part of Chanel’s latest collection? It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars!”
Upon hearing this, Kendra’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
How could Lindsey afford such an expensive dress? It had to be a fake! But even she had to admit that the workmanship of Lindsey’s dress was excellent.
The diamonds that lined the hem of the dress sparkled in the light, making Lindsey look like a Disney princess.
Kendra’s own dress was worth tens of thousands of dollars, which she had pestered Benny to buy for her.
But next to Lindsey’s dress, hers looked like worthless trash.
She turned to look at Chayce, who was standing next to her, only to see that he was staring at Lindsey in a daze.
This only served to piss Kendra off even more.
She stomped on his foot hard and then walked toward Lindsey, plastering a fake smile on her face.
At the moment, Lindsey was busy texting Domenic.
When she saw from the corner of her eyes that Kendra was approaching, she quickly put her phone away.
The next second, Kendra held her arm intimately.
“Lindsey, where’d you get this dress? It looks exactly like the one from Chanel.
It’s not good if others find it out it’s a fake,”
Kendra whispered, feigning concern.
“Why didn’t you wear the pink dress I prepared for you?”
Wearing an innocent, gentle smile, Lindsey looked at Kendra with her big clear eyes and explained, “Kendra, that designer you commissioned must’ve cheated you! The dress fell apart before I even put it on.
I had no choice but to throw it away.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
So, be a bit cautious with your spending in the future.
If you ever need some help distinguishing quality from shoddy, you can always count on me for advice.
”
Kendra’s heart leaped to her throat.
Could Lindsey have found out what she had done to the dress?
Still, being mocked, Kendra was very annoyed.
She forced a wry smile and looked at Lindsey’s dress, knowing full well that Lindsey couldn’t afford the real deal no matter how discerning she was!
While talking, the two strode to the stage at the end of the banquet hall.
A bell chimed at seven o’clock sharp.
