Courtney’s hand caught empty air, and looking up, saw the receptionist saying with a fake smile View your stre and return. Next person
The receptionist directly bypassed the two and started handling other procedures. The hull was beverting but oneday Marry people noticed what happened, and their expressions became sodatly intrigued.
Yolanda paused her grip on the cloak, and then confidently marched forward “Bring your manager here and explain what’s wrong with my clothes, she demanded. It was custom made, after all.
But the receptionist didn’t even look up, simply saying. “No indecent exposure allowed. If you don’t understand, look it in the dictionary.”
“You!” Yolanda’s face burned with embarrassment, and the raised her voice. Do you know who I am? I want to see Mr. Hill and have him come to meet me personally”
The receptionist found it amusing and, seeing her persistence, pressed the office phone’s extension
“What’s the matter?” came a smooth, youthful voice from the other end.
“Mr. Hill, there’s a guest here not meeting the dress code who wants to enter. She’s an award–winning actress and insists on seeing someone in charge, the receptionist relayed,
Yolanda immediately smiled, getting ready to speak, but then she suddenly heard a scoff from the other end. A movie star? Tell her that even if her company’s top brass were here, she’d still have to cover up completely.
“If the birthday girl sees even a hint of something she shouldn’t, the movie star can forget about making it in the industry.
“I told those kids not to arrange for celebrity performances. Quinlyn doesn’t like them, and now everything’s a chaotic mess. You don’t be polite with them. If they don’t follow the rules, just kick them off the ship. Don’t disturb the guests.” The call ended abruptly.
The hall briefly fell into an awkward dead silence. The receptionist tapped on the counter, reminding them. “If you don’t sort your clothes out in five minutes, we’ll have to ask you to leave.”

After being thoroughly humiliated, Yolanda was mortified. She looked down at her luxurious evening dress, now wrapped with a cloak, making it resemble a rag. She was utterly embarrassed. Just wait, one day I’ll rise up and have them all under my feet‘
Courtney saw her gritting her teeth, thinking she was just angrily dreaming, and after fixing the clothes with a pin, rushed off to get the badge.
Yolanda stood still, calming herself, her eyes drifting towards the floor–to–ceiling windows not far away. There was a small table set for esteemed guests to rest, and all the men and women were dressed in fancy clothes, their expressions full of arrogance.
As she imagined herself becoming one of them someday, a servant gently helped a noble lady to sit at the table with the best
view.
That wealthy lady’s face seemed kind of familiar. Yolanda furrowed her brow, trying to recognize her. Then suddenly, it hit her. “Is it her? How could she be here? No way! But that face is unmistakable.”
“Yolanda, what are you looking at? We’re about to go in Courtney came over and touched her hand, which was shockingly cold. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

As night fell, the birthday party officially commenced. Quinlyn was dressed up as a little fairy, with adorable little wings on her back as she sat in a pumpkin carriage, ready to be wheeled in..
Beside her, Mandy kept whispering in her ear. “Quinlyn, isn’t the pumpkin carriage Cinderella’s thing? Why are you a fairy? And fairies don’t use magic wands, do they?
“Also, if I’m the maid, shouldn’t Quinton be the prince? But he’s dressed like a knight”
Listening to her rambling. Quinlyn felt innocent. Before the birthday party, her brothers planning it had fought so hard over choosing her dress. Some went for a Cinderella theme, others for a fairy one. In the end, it turned into a random mix- and–match affair.
Quinlyn didn’t really mind these things, so she became their plaything, at their mercy. Seeing Quinton across from her with a tense little face, looking like he was too nervous to breathe, Quinlyn thought for a moment and said, “Tll get out of the car
first later.”
Quinton was taken aback by this and quickly shook his head. “No, a knight can’t let the princess get out of the car first.”
Quinlyn was speechless.
The long song ended at the red carpet’s end, and Quinton was the first to push the door open. His long sword nearly tripped Mandy.
Quinlyn gave her a slight pull to steady her, and then stepped down in her crystal shoes. The whole place erupted in applause.
She turned her head to look at the audience, filled with familiar faces. She waved at them, a small smile on her face, her dimples looking extra sweet.
“Time flies and she’s all grown up.” Edward couldn’t help but comment, recalling the first time he saw the skinny child standing before him, earnestly revealing her identity. Now she wasn’t his granddaughter, but she was more captivating than
Her height had shot up, her skin had become delicate, and now that her cheeks had filled out, her features becoming delicate and cute.

“You know, Quinlyn looks just as good as a child star. If she goes into the film industry, she’d definitely be a stunning little beauty, remarked Devin who had invited celebrities to the event.
As soon as Devin finished speaking, Stanley punched him. “Do you know how distinguished she is? Does she really need to appear in public to perform?”
His words were merciless, stepping right on the dignity of the stars waiting behind the curtain. But reality was harsh, and technically, they were just playthings in the hands of capital.
At that moment, Yolanda was distracted, constantly messaging on her phone until she got a text: [The person is definitely dead.] Only then did her fingers relax, and the shiver down her spine finally eased.
“Stop playing with your phone. Once the birthday girl blows out the candles, it’s your turn to go on stage, Courtney reminded Yolanda from behind.
Feeling a bit annoyed, Yolanda replied, “Got it.” She stood up, fixed her hair, feeling tempted to throw off her cape but reconsidered, thinking of something. As the host introduced her, she gracefully took the stage with a microphone in hand.
