"Y-You… what are you doing here?"
Even Diego—the one who loved pretty women and never missed a chance to join the fun—had already left. So why was Evander, a man buried in work, still here?
But Evander didn’t even glance at her.
Instead, he stepped right over her crumpled form and walked straight to Esther.
The crowd around them thickened. Just as Esther was about to slip away quietly, the man, regal as a king, extended his hands to her and said in a deep voice:
"Come. I’ll take you home—tonight’s Dancing Fairy."
Esther: “…”
“Whoa!”
“A single dance to enchant the city. What a goddess!”
“Mr. Westvale sending her home himself?! She’s even more honored than the wealthy heiresses!”
“Can you believe it? Esther used to be disfigured. Look at her now—absolutely stunning!”“If Esther were still the Davenier family’s heiress, even an adopted one, with the way Evander’s treating her now... she could’ve had a c

Chloe’s eyes, like everyone else’s, landed on the magnified face on the big screen—illuminated by the spotlight at the center of the stage. Her features were exquisitely carved, her skin pale as snow, so flawless that even the soft baby hairs along her cheeks were visible. And the rose—just moments ago stunning the entire audience like a blooming symbol of love—was gone.Completely gone.It never existed.Chloe was utterly dumbfounded. Her first instinct was to think she was hallucinating. She blinked hard, once, then opened her eyes again.Still the same.That face, as stunning as a moon goddess’s, was bathed in starlight as rose petals rained down from the ceiling. Their fragrance wafted through the entire hall. Then, as if guided by some invisible signal, the entire audience rose to their feet in unison. Everyone stood on tiptoe, unmoving, eyes locked on her.As rose petals cascaded around her, the woman let her toes lightly touch the sta
Under that intense gaze, Claire’s hand wavered and slowly fell back to her side. She could act out and throw tantrums in front of anyone else, but not him. Evander was the man she had been trying to win over for years.After so long, she finally caught his attention. Even if his expression wasn’t exactly friendly, his eyes were still on her. No way would she let herself lose face in front of her dream man. That slap… she’d just have to take it for now. But she’d get her revenge on that ugly wench soon enough."You’ve got guts, you witch."Claire glared daggers at Esther and growled, “I’ll remember this. Just wait.”She then turned to Judy. “And you, Judy—your turn is coming. Just wait. I’ll be the one laughing soon…”"And now, let’s welcome the Whitmore Corp’s Latin dance team led by Miss Claire Whitmore!"As the announcer’s voice echoed t
Because Evander showed up, almost all the prestigious socialites and heirs in the capital were present today.Chloe somehow managed to secure the opening dance. After the speech, Chloe appeared in a white ballet outfit, tiptoeing and taking small steps to the center of the stage. She even had ten backup dancers with her. Elegant music started playing... applause erupted!But as soon as the spotlight hit Chloe’s face, the thunderous applause abruptly stopped. The elegant ‘white swan’ was paired with a face more suited for a bar girl — fake eyelashes, colored contact lenses, heavy highlighter and blush, blazing red lips—white and red clashed terribly. This wasn’t an elegant swan at all; it was a hideous ugly duckling wearing swan’s skin.Because it was her home turf, all the stage lights shone directly on her face. Those blazing red lips seemed exaggerated under the lights. Chloe’s lips were thick and lacked sensuality, and paired with that fiery red lipstick, she
You’ve heard of enemies crossing paths by coincidence, but never have you seen enemies’ paths this narrow. Just upon arriving here, she ran into that woman Élodie.“Last time you sneaked into the crew but didn’t snag a role, now you’re sneaking here trying to catch a rich husband? Shameless!”“How do you prove I’m shameless? And how do you prove I’m trying to catch a rich husband?” Esther calmly gave her a glance and said unhurriedly, “Miss Mills, please provide evidence. If you can’t, then you’re just slandering. I can sue you!”Esther instinctively shook her phone, “I wonder if Miss Mills remembers my nickname is ‘Recording Pro.’ I don’t know if those rich husbands you talk about would still let you try to catch them after hearing this recording.”Élodie: “...”“You…”Élodie was so angered by Esther’s words she couldn’t reply, staring at her dumbfounded. After staring for a long time, she muttered “You’re crazy,” then turned and went to fi
Thanks to Evander’s arrival, no news release could be sent out without his approval. Besides, the matter had already been properly handled, the accident party was paying compensation according to the procedure, and the incident quickly died down after the trending topic exploded.Esther gave a fake address, and once they dropped her off, she redirected back to her villa. As soon as she arrived, Alan’s call came through.“Esther, when are you moving back?”Esther was speechless.“The last time your mother kicked you out, it was her fault. I’ve already reprimanded her!”Seeing she didn’t respond, Alan rambled on, “After all, we raised you for over twenty years and have feelings for you. This relationship isn’t something to just cut off. Since we aren’t asking you to return Evander to Chloe, maybe you can forgive your mother’s rash words and move back soon!”Esther: “???”Undeniably, Esther was shocked speechless by his shameless words!
