taste was off when she heard Cric. What do I have to do with the word “beautiful” dressed like this?
Not just Mallory, even Amaris thought Oric’s taste the complained inwardly.
Mallory hit a sinag, her face awkward. On her phone, there was a message from Ava (Ms. Everlurt, I’ve arranged everything. We’ll definately get our mener tonight“]
Kassing her firows, she was about to say something else when Ouric pulled Amuaris away. “Bye Amaris doesn’t like me talking to shady women!”
Befund them. Mallory’s face darkened again
The charity gala hadn’t stand yes, and Ostic held Amaris’s hand tightly, never letting go
Wherever they went, whenever anyone asked, he would cheerfully reply, “This is my fiancée, Amaris”
By the time they had circled the venue, everyone know that Osric hud a fiancée–the girl dressed like a drab chickens next to him, with those ghastly pink lips.
For a moment, people didn’t know whether to envy Amaris, a country bumpkin who had snagged Arborteld’s most eye–catching rich and handsome guy or to pity Ostic, the mighty CEO of Hale Group, who was stuck with such a bumpkin.
Failing to annoy Osese, Amaris fell quite frustrated.
As soon as they sat down, she heard the man next to her say softly, Amaris, next time you attend such an occasion, have your own sense of aesthetics and don’t just follow others in everything!”
Amaris looked down at her outfit. “But I think this… Jooks pretty good”
Hearing this, Oric Hale was left utterly helpless. “Even though you’re trying to get my attention by being different, you don’t have to go this far
Amaris frowned and moved closer to Ouric. “You think my taste is bad? Why don’t you call off the engagement!”
Ostic suddenly looked at her, his sharp eyes like swords ready to pierce her through. Why do I feel that she was doing this on purpose! he murmured inwardly.

Her nose stood proudly, her skin creamy. Her eyes, bright and sparkling, resembled shining stars. Even though she had painted herself to look ugly, upon closer inspection. Ouric found her rather attractive.
Especially after she took off her glasses, those beautiful eyes radiated an irresistible brilliance, though the corners of her eyes and brows were a bit too cold. giving off an innate sense of distance

Ouric clenched his fists, thinking, Did she really need to remember it so precisely?”
Soon, the most important auction segment of the charity gala began. Each female guest present today had to auction off an item of their owIL either something carefully prepared or a small, everyday object. The proceeds from the auction would be donated under the name of a charity foundation.
Oricat in the front row of the VIP section, frowning as he glanced at Amaris,
Only female guests were participating in the auction, Amaris had come in a hurry today, and Oric had forgotten to have her bring an item to
He focused his gaze on the watch on his wrist, then looked away.
The auction continued, and now it was Mallory on stage
On the large screen behind her appeared a pair of green emerald earrings. Mallory elegantly introduced to the guests below. “Today, I am auctioning this pair of earrings named ‘Drunken Flower that alesigned myself. Last year’s designer competition also awarded this pair of earrings. I believe many of you have heard of it. My starting auction price is one million dollars“
As Mallory introduced, she opened the antique box in her hand, ready in show it to everyone, only to find that the box was empty.
