Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 357: The ambassador's wife had invited mostly women to the party, causing many to gaze at Candice with admiration in their eyes. "Who is she? She's stunning." "She's an absolute beauty, graceful and elegant." "Classical beauty like hers is hard to come by nowadays." "Look at that dress! I've seen it before. It's a high-end customized product of Royal Garden Corporation. It's the latest style this year. Isn't it yet to be available on the market? How did she even get her hands on it?" Whispers floated around the hall as a few celebrities spoke in hushed tones.

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and the banquet hall was illuminated in a multitude of colors. Melodious music filled the air. Candice made her way to the center of the hall, following the light symphony. She never really enjoyed attending business parties. But work was work, and important occasions had to be attended. She wasn't as headstrong as some people, such as Milton, who refused the ambassador's wife's invitation as soon as it came, disregarding its social impact. Of course, he could afford to be cocky. He was the richest man in Ploville, with tremendous wealth to his name.

His wealth was, in a nutshell, immeasurable! Madilyn and Rachel had arrived earlier. The commotion in the crowd drew their attention, and Madilyn couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as she watched Candice make her way to the center of the hall in her stunning purple dress. Candice was becoming more and more beautiful by the day. She used to be indifferent to dressing up, but now she was a shining star in the crowd. Madilyn was donning a floor-length pinkish dress, radiating an aura of grace and loveliness.

Though she had spent a substantial amount of money on her dress, it paled in comparison to the extravagant purple one worn by Candice. 1Ɫ∆ŦE$† ₡Ḥ∆₱†€₤S 1₦ gɑlοvєlѕ.сo She was an enchantress, captivating all the men present with her appearance. Rachel, on the other hand, was disgruntled by Candice's looks. "Who is she trying to impress with that dress? Candice has no class. She's nothing but a harlot, tarnishing the Harman family name. Fuck her! A shameless tramp, just like her damn mother!" Madilyn intervened, "Let's not... Give her no indication of our disdain when we meet her later.

We'll teach her a lesson, as we planned. Don't mess things up!" "Of course!" Rachel patted the back of Madilyn's hand and said, "I've been waiting for this day for over a month. I need to let off some steam tonight! Let that whore flaunt a little longer." They watched as Candice walked in their direction. Madilyn, holding Rachel's arm with a show of superiority, lifted her chin, puffed up her chest, and stepped in front of Candice to block her path. . . .
