Chapter 6: Chapter Six: Jiang Shiluo, Who Fails to Recognize a Great Man When She Sees One

Grace Roxanne sat comfortably in the VIP lounge, surrounded by a mountain of snacks and drinks.

［Lan］was one of the top makeup studios in the country, serving only the elite families and A-list celebrities. Even the apprentices here were graduates from prestigious universities.

Grace Roxanne had to beg Lin Sheng for a long time before he finally booked her a spot. When she heard Lena Roxanne's voice, she was taken aback, but the makeup artist she saw didn't look like a big shot at all.

At that moment, the door opened, and the receptionist greeted, "Teacher Allen is here."

Allen was tall and handsome, and when he walked in against the light, Grace Roxanne blushed. The girl sitting next to her looked enviously at her, "Shiluo, Young Master Lin really treats you well. He even invited the internationally renowned Master Allen to do your makeup. I heard he has won many international awards."

Grace Roxanne felt very pleased. She snorted and raised her voice, hinting, "Hmph, my makeup artist is naturally much better than some old man someone else found from who knows where."

No one paid attention to the "old man" mentioned by Lena Roxanne and Grace Roxanne.

Allen glanced over at Grace Roxanne, his eyes lit up, and he strode over. Just as he was about to reach her, she lifted her head, ready to give him an elegant smile, but the man walked past her without looking at her.

What?

Grace Roxanne's perfect smile froze on her face, and her expression twisted for a moment. She turned her head to see Allen eagerly approaching Lena Roxanne's makeup artist, "Hehe, Master, let me assist you. This young lady is so beautiful; no wonder you came out of retirement for her."

What? That unremarkable old man was actually Allen's master?

Grace Roxanne never expected that the seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was the legendary figure in the beauty industry—Isabel Hutt. He had been in the industry for thirty years, providing makeup guidance for countless films and TV shows, and later founded the top makeup studio ［Lan］.

His name was well-known in the beauty industry, and many of the big names were his students, but he was extremely low-key.

Feeling restless, Grace Roxanne walked over and politely asked, "Teacher Allen, I made a reservation with you in advance. Shouldn't you do my makeup first?"

"Hmm? I don't have any reservations today," Allen checked his phone and then went to the front desk to check the records. "Oh, during this time slot, someone named Lin Sheng reserved a basic package." He pointed to an apprentice, "You go and do her makeup."

"What?" Grace Roxanne was stunned. She carefully examined the receipt in her hand. It indeed said VIP lounge, but there was a small line below—basic package.

Her face turned red and green, like the neon sign outside the door.

That stingy Lin Sheng! How could he make her so embarrassed!

The girl who came with Grace Roxanne couldn't help but smirk at her misfortune.

Serves her right! Grace Roxanne always acted so high and mighty, as if everyone should worship her.

Two of the top makeup artists in the industry were here just for Lena Roxanne. What an honor!

Grace Roxanne was almost jealous to the point of madness. During her makeup, she kept turning her head to look at Lena Roxanne, resulting in her eyebrows being drawn crooked and her scalp hurting. She was fuming.

With her comical slanted eyebrows, Grace Roxanne glared angrily at the makeup artist, "Clumsy, do you even know how to do makeup?"

"Don't squirm like a maggot, and she'll do it fine," Isabel Hutt, who heard the argument, said slowly.

Grace Roxanne had never been spoken to like that, but she had heard that Isabel Hutt had other powerful connections, even the Roxanne family couldn't afford to offend him.

She could only mumble resentfully, "You're the one like a maggot," and didn't dare to cause more trouble.

Grace Roxanne arrived early and left in the Roxanne family car after finishing her makeup. She wouldn't wait for Lena Roxanne, hoping she wouldn't have a ride to the banquet.

The banquet was held at a villa on a hillside to celebrate the 80th birthday of Old Master Chen. The Chen family was one of the most prominent in Riverside City, so the guests were all wealthy and influential.

When Grace Roxanne entered the banquet hall, the room fell silent for a moment, followed by whispers.

"Who is this girl? She's so beautiful!"

"Oh my god, such beauty really exists? And her legs are so long!"

Grace Roxanne held her chin high and walked straight ahead, ignoring the stares. She even strutted like a model, treating the bustling hall as her own runway.

Look, this is the kind of entrance the First Beauty of Riverside City should have! Grace Roxanne felt incredibly pleased.

But when she passed, people were still craning their necks to look back. Confused, Grace Roxanne turned around and saw Lena Roxanne entering. Her face immediately changed.

The girl wore a well-tailored red dress, with her slightly curled hair falling over her shoulders. With just a touch of makeup, she looked stunning, like a blooming red rose, both beautiful and captivating.

Lena Roxanne's features were delicate and versatile, looking gorgeous in heavy makeup and sweet in light makeup. The makeup designed by Isabel Hutt perfectly suited the occasion, and combined with Lena Roxanne's natural elegance, she looked like a royal princess.

Song Meixin, seeing that Lena Roxanne had completely overshadowed Grace Roxanne, quickly pulled her aside and scolded, "Why are you showing off so much? Don't you want to avoid arranged marriages? I wanted to find a suitable young man for your sister today!"

Lena Roxanne raised an eyebrow, "Is it my fault she looks ugly?"

Song Meixin's hands trembled with anger, "How dare you speak to me like that, you brat!"

But considering the occasion, she could only whisper, "You don't know anyone here. Find a corner and sit down. Don't say anything to embarrass our family!"

"Got it." Lena Roxanne, who was planning to find the old man anyway, responded indifferently.

After they returned, Orlando Roxanne also gave Lena Roxanne a few extra glances, realizing for the first time that his daughter looked quite presentable when dressed up.

Thinking the dress was chosen by Song Meixin, he wondered why she was being generous to Lena Roxanne for once and praised, "Miao, you look nice today."

At least she wasn't embarrassing him.

"Thank you, Dad." Lena Roxanne, not particularly happy, simply replied and stood to the side.

Grace Roxanne, who didn't get any praise, turned her face away in anger.

The banquet was filled with fragrances and glitter. Many people, having heard that the Wright family had invested five million in the Roxanne family, came to curry favor with Orlando Roxanne.

"Mr. Jiang, you are the first partner Mr. Ji chose after coming to Riverside City. Truly impressive, truly impressive!"
