Chapter 44 Stunning Girl
Buck attached great importance to his birthday party, so he booked the largest hotel in Fort. The first–
floor hall was used as a banquet hall. Dozens of floors upstairs were all used for guests to rest, which
cost him a lot.
Many limos were parked outside the hotel before the banquet started.
Ivan and Clare arrived very early. As soon as Clare arrived, he went ahead to meet his business
partners.
Ivan stood in the corner with a glass of red wine. He had a distinguished family. If it weren’t for his poor
reputation, there would surely be many people around to talk with him at the moment.
He glanced at the banquet hall but didn’t see Alston and Cynthia. He sneered and thought,
“Buck is an old–fashioned man who hates people being late. If Alston dares to be late for this birthday
party,. it will definitely make Buck dissatisfied. It will be easier for me to take control of the Smith Group
as long as Buck completely rejects him.”
There were only five minutes left before the banquet began. There were more and more people in the
banquet hall. However, Alston and Cynthia had not shown up.
Ivan smiled with satisfaction. He saw that Buck had walked on the second–floor stairs, ready to
announce the
start of the banquet.
Holding a glass of wine, he just took a step forward when he suddenly heard a sound at the door.
Ivan turned to look and saw that they had arrived at the door. He was so angry that he almost crushed
the glass in his hand.
Alston and Cynthia arrived on time!
Alston was tall and handsome, so he could easily attract others‘ attention, and the woman holding his
arm.
was even more stunning.
Not to mention her exquisite appearance, the most striking thing was her purple dress.
That kind of purple was not a simple purple. There were five layers of fabrics made of different
materials and each layer was a different purple. Layers of purple were piled up to produce a fantastic
purple.
The hemline was covered with Swarovski crystals, hand–inlaid, with a total of 1,000 pieces.
She looked like a floating purple cloud when she walked, with a stunning appearance. She was like

out of an oil painting.
They instantly attracted everyone’s attention. There was a smile on his stuffy face when Buck saw
them.
Others might think that he was unfamiliar with Alston. In fact, Alston’s father was his best friend. Alston
had
known him since Alston was a young boy.
He specifically asked Alston to bring Cynthia along.
Buck wouldn’t feel angry for they stole his thunder when they made a high–profile appearance. Buck
had a

sense of satisfaction as if his son came back with his daughter–in–law.
Cynthia faced so many people for the first time. Her hand was shaking slightly. Suddenly, a big hand
held her
little hand tightly.
Cynthia flushed and looked up at Alston, only to find that he looked ahead.
He had a lower body temperature and his hand was cold, but it gave her infinite warmth.
Cynthia gradually rested assured. All her panic disappeared. She smiled while following his pace.
Buck also greeted them at that moment and looked kindly at Alston. “Why did you come here now?”
“I had some emergency on the way just now.” Alston smiled slightly. “Fortunately, we arrived in time.”
Clare approached Ivan with a sulky face and lowered his voice. “Didn’t you say you had a way to make
them.
late?”
Ivan didn’t answer, and his eyes were red with anger when he looked at them talking happily.
He called and scolded Hulda. Hulda said with a panicked voice on the phone,
“I swear, I really had Cynthia’s dress completely destroyed. I didn’t think they would have another
dress. And just in case, I had to do something on Alston’s car and his car would definitely stall halfway.
How could they
arrive on time.”
Ivan listened, looked up, and found that Alston looked at him with malicious eyes. Ivan subconsciously
shook
and suddenly hung up the phone.
Alston saw that, sneered, and looked away.
Alston had a premonition that there would definitely be other troubles later after Cynthia’s dress was
ruined. He exchanged cars with Kevin, so he made it all the way here smoothly..
He received a phone call from Kevin when he walked in. Kevin said, “Your car suddenly stalled. You
would definitely be late today if you hadn’t driven my car.”
Alston knew that Buck wouldn’t be mad at him for that. Alston would remember that all, and he would
take
double revenge on Ivan later.
Buck had a brief talk with Cynthia and had a good first impression of her. Cynthia’s family was not very
wealthy, but she wasn’t vain. She was humble and polite while speaking, and Buck was very satisfied
with.
her.
She didn’t leave Alston even when he accidentally became a vegetable. She still took good care of him
when
he woke up with a disease in his legs. Compared with that, her background was not important at all.
It was time for Buck to announce the start of the banquet after they chatted for a while. Alston and
Cynthia walked backward. They knew it was Buck’s birthday banquet.
At that time, the banquet hall was full of excitement, and people gathered in twos and threes to talk.
Alston was the most distinguished man there. Countless people would come up to talk with him when
he
stood there.
Cynthia only needed to stand next to him, nod, and smile. Alston would introduce her to others.
For a time, all the guests who came there knew that the beautiful woman in that stunning purple dress
was the mysterious Mrs. Smith.
Lucien was also at the banquet. He went to greet them when he saw them. He was wearing a light gray
suit, and he looked much more sedate than usual. But he showed his personality whenever he spoke.
He walked several times around Cynthia, constantly praising her beauty, and didn’t even care about
Alston’s
threatening gaze.
Cynthia flushed. After seeing him at the banquet, she felt relaxed.
The Miller family was also invited to this banquet.
When they were greeting guests, Cherry stood in an inconspicuous corner, and she was envious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKnowing that Cynthia would attend, she deliberately came to witness her embarrassment, but now she
was
the one who was embarrassed!
She also wore a purple dress, which she thought was elegant and beautiful. However, after seeing
Cynthia’s
dress, she felt that she was like a clown.
Cherry could accept that only if that woman was someone else, as long as not Cynthia. She thought
she was nobler than Cynthia for more than ten years. That made Cherry, who had always been proud,
uncomfortable.
“I want to change my dress. Do you have a spare evening dress?” Cherry took Jane’s arm and stared
at Cynthia, gnashing her teeth.
Miller Group had gone through a lot recently. Jane greeted others with Beck. She wanted to win people
over for Miller Group, so she had no time to take care of Cherry.
She glanced at Cherry menacingly and whispered, “You’d better behave yourself today, and don’t
cause trouble for your father and me. Last time, Alston suppressed our company many times because
of you. If anything happens to Miller Group again, I will definitely not spare you.”
Then she followed Beck and walked towards Buck.
After being taught a lesson, Cherry stamped her feet angrily and looked at Cynthia. She rolled her
eyes, and
suddenly had an idea.
In addition to making contacts and negotiating business, the most important activity of the banquet was
to let the younger ones show their talents and let them know each other.
They showed their talents one after another to celebrate Buck’s birthday..
The hall was very lively. Cynthia and Alston were watching them perform with relish. The girl on the
stage had just finished a dance, and a woman in a purple evening dress came onto the stage.
After seeing her, Cynthia was slightly stunned.
Cynthia thought, “Is it Cherry?!”
“Why is she on stage?”
Although Jane found many tutors for her since she was a child, Cherry had no patience for anything.
She changed one hobby after another and never learned anything..
Cynthia thought, “She is so proud. How could she show her shortcomings on the stage?”
Just as Cynthia was puzzled, Cherry suddenly looked at her and smiled.
Cynthia suddenly had a bad feeling.
