Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 110 Banquet

The sound of the leaving car drifted into Christina’s cars as Nathaniel walked into the room.

She craned her neck toward him like a curious baby, asking, “Why did Mrs. Hadley find you?”

Nathaniel headed over to her and caressed her head. “She told me to bring you along to a banquet

tomorrow.”

Christina narrowed her eyes upon hearing his response. It was customary for her to be invited to the

banquet if her identity was Ada, the designer. But Juli only knew of her as Christina, the daughter-in-

law she despised, so Christina couldn’t understand why Julia would invite her to the event.

“Didn’t you mention that you want to see my mom in the dress you designed? Let’s go and take a stroll

at the banquet so we can take a peek, shall we?” Nathaniel leaned forward and kissed Christina’s

head.

A sweet sense of bliss filled Christina, then. Just one glance at the dress will do! No harm done, right?

Christina arrived at Radiant Corporation on time the following day. She wasn’t busy because there was

not much work to be done on the weekend. Then, after their meeting ended, Gina came to her.

She said, “Christina, we have a customer here to choose a dress. Why don’t you serve her?”

“Okay.”

Exquisite dresses were displayed occasionally in the large exhibition hall on the tenth floor of Radiant

Corporation. These unique, one-of-a-kind dresses were sellable items reserved only for VIP guests.

and sometimes, these picky guests would request the dress designers to serve them.

Hence, Christina didn’t overthink the situation. She picked her stuff and went downstairs.

Soon, she arrived at the brightly-lit exhibition hall that showcased numerous customized formal dresses

that cost a hefty sum.

A smiling Madison stood in the middle of the exhibition hall, provocation evident in her eyes, greeting,

“We meet again, Ms. Steele.”

Initially, Christina never did notice the unusual glint in Madison’s eyes. If it weren’t for her identity as

Ada, she wouldn’t have realized how dangerous this gentle-looking woman was.

“Hi, Ms. Taggart. Are you here to choose a dress today?” Christina greeted the woman calmly.

As Madison glanced at Christina, her mind was flooded with different thoughts.

Urgh! Her body figure resembled that of Ada. She looks soft and fragile. What a pretentious woman!

She utilized her body to make Nathaniel fall in love with her. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Madison chuckled lightly. “I need a suitable dress for Mrs. Hadley’s banquet tonight. You’re a designer,

so I’m sure you have a keen eyesight. Come on. Pick a dress for me.”

With that, she grabbed Christina’s wrist and walked toward the racks of dresses.

Even though she was alarmed by Madison’s fake intimacy with her, Christina kept her emotions under

control while remaining expressionless.

After browsing through the dresses, Madison stopped as she fiddled with the dresses before her. “I

think these two are great. What do you think? Is the red one or the white one better?”

Christina looked at the dresses. However, Madison continued without waiting for her to speak,

“Nathaniel doesn’t like red, so I think I’ll go with the white one.”

Then, she grinned at Christina. There was a hint of provocation in it that only Christina could detect. To

others, the women were just having a normal conversation.

Just then, Christina’s colleague approached them to wrap up the white dress Madison chose.

Christina walked over and took the red dress. She passed it to the salesperson. “Wrap this red dress

and send it to my office.”

Her colleagues nodded before walking away with both dresses.

Christina’s action was a retaliation to Madison’s insinuation. I will wear a red dress even if Nathaniel

doesn’t like red.

She laughed lightly, explaining herself, “What a coincidence. I’m also heading to the banquet tonight

and need a new dress. Please don’t overthink this, okay?”

Madison smiled in embarrassment, for she never expected Christina to respond in such a way. “Of

course not.”

They turned and headed toward the entrance after that. Then Madison spotted the accessories on the

side and stopped Christina, who was at the front, from leaving. “Ms. Steele, does this look nice on me?”

Christina turned around. Unexpected to her, Madison grabbed a black mask that closely resembled the

one worn by Ada and covered Christina’s face. Christina shuddered and froze as her face got hidden

by the mask, with only her bright eyes exposed.

Madison narrowed her eyes, asking suspiciously, “You look a lot like a designer I saw a few days ago.

Her name is Ada. Do you know her?”

Christina’s back was rigid as she removed the mask calmly. Her face was cold when she replied, “Of

course. She is quite famous in the design industry.”

An eerie smile appeared on Madison’s face. “I’ll see you tonight, then.” Having said that, she strutted

off on her heels.

Mixed emotions filled Christina as she stared at the mask in her hands.

Did she find out about my identity?

Many big shots showed up at the banquet that night. Those included in the list were young men

bestowed the title of count and countless reputable young socialites from Jadeborough.

The moment Christina stepped inside, she thought she had arrived at the kingdom of women, for

everywhere she laid her eyes, she saw women dressed to the nines.

“Are you sure this is Mrs. Hadley’s banquet? This seems like…” Christina was confused. She thought

the scene was something out of a consort selection event.

Nathaniel grabbed her hand. “Let’s go.”

Dressed in a wine-red-colored suit and a white shirt, Nathaniel radiated the aura of a vampire found in

the darkest of night. Although his eyes were frosty and his gaze was chilling, the surrounding women

threw flirtatious looks in Nathaniel’s way after they entered the hall.

What was not known to the crowd was that Nathaniel chose his suit to complement Christina.

Meanwhile, Christina’s red, off-shoulder dress had a swirling pattern on the waistline that accentuated

her slim midriff.

Standing side by side, the couple looked perfectly compatible, like they had just stepped out of a

poster.

After making a round, Nathaniel noticed Julia was conversing with a few socialites, so he walked over

with Christina in his arms, and his appearance immediately attracted these women’s attention.

Concurrently, Julia was sizing up Christina with disdain on her face. She made it evident that she had

no intention of welcoming the latter as her guest. After all, the main goal of today’s banquet was to

introduce new friends and acquaintances to Nathaniel because, to her, Nathaniel had fallen in love with

Christina at first sight because he had no experience with other women for all these years.

If Nathaniel surrounds himself with more women and friends and gains more experience in the dating

world, maybe he will find that little girl uninteresting!

Julia shifted her gaze away as she spoke. “Come over Nathaniel. I’ll introduce you to a few socialites

that grew up in wealthy, educated families. They are nothing like the scoundrels from low-income.

families.”

Meanwhile, the socialites’ eyes brightened when they spotted Nathaniel as the same thought flashed

across their minds.

Wow! We heard so much about him being the perfect man. It seems like this news about him is true

now that we have come face-to-face with him.

The socialites were about to talk when Nathaniel glared at them warningly. “My darling doesn’t like

these women.”
