Chapter 906
In the magnificent banquet hall, people were chatting and drinking, having a great
time.
A little while later, Warner, Linville, and the Sawyers entered the hall, capturing many
people‘s attention with their good looks. Nicholas, especially, got many female celebrities
and socialites infatuated and curious about his commanding presence and otherworldly
good looks.
“Who‘s that man? How come I‘ve never seen him in this circle?”
“He‘s super hot, but it looks like he‘s married.”
“Correction, he is married. I noticed a wedding band on his finger. That stunning lady must
be his wife. They‘re wearing a matching set of rings.”
Many others made a similar discovery and couldn‘t help feeling bummed. However, the
feeling lasted only mere seconds as they very quickly made their way to Linville. After all,
she was the reason many were here.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLinville was the wife of H&G‘s CEO, so many were well aware that they could only bag the
haute couture of their liking and not fight others for it if they could befriend her. Because of
so, many celebrities, socialites, and noblewomen began buttering up to her in no time.
Worried that the crowd would accidentally injure Tessa when even more were approaching
their direction, Nicholas exchanged a few words with Warner and Linville before taking Tessa
and Gregory away.
Warner, on the other hand, went off to chat with his collaborators when he saw that Linville
could handle the crowd of women on her own.
In the entire hall, where Linville stood was the liveliest.
“Miss Linville, has anyone taken the third gown from the show earlier?”
“I want the fifth gown. No one wants it other than me, right?”
“I want the finale gown. What does it take for me to have it?”
“I want the finale gown too.”
“How about this? We bid on it fair and square!”
Nobody knew who suggested it, but everyone agreed to it.
In actuality, many of them came for the finale gown, for it amazed countless after its reveal
and went viral online. These socialites and celebrities all wished they could have a dress like
this to top everyone.
Linville, on the other hand, felt somewhat helpless as she looked at the ladies who had
already decided on how to fight for the dress in question.
“Ladies, please listen to me.” She interrupted their discussion and apologized, “The... gown
you guys are asking for isn‘t on the list of gowns for sale tonight.”
Many fell into dejection upon hearing so and left defeated. However, a noblewoman stayed
“Linville, why isn‘t the dress for sale?”
She had a pretty close relationship with Linville, so she had some privilege and priority to
gain gowns from Linville, and because of that, she always had a sense of superiority.
But now, the loss of superiority got her feeling pretty upset. Linville, too, noticed her
displeasure and explained, “It‘s not that I don‘t want to put it up for sale, but that someone
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad already bought it at a high price. You‘re a step too late.”
At that, the noblewoman frowned with disapproval. “Who is it? How much have they paid?
I‘ll do double.”
Then, she looked haughtily at Linville. “It wasn‘t just yesterday when we had known each
other. Do you think I can‘t afford to pay up?”
“I know you‘re rich, but they‘re really not someone you can afford to fight.” Linville felt
somewhat speechless.
“Someone I can‘t afford to fight?! Who is it?” The noblewoman pressed on, feeling
challenged. Linville knew this woman would never give up unless she made it clear to her.
“Alright, I‘ll tell you who that is.” With that, she smiled and pointed toward Nicholas, who
was standing a distance away. “It‘s him...”
It turned out that Nicholas had requested Phoenix Flame from Warner right as the fashion
show drew to a close. A friend of Nicholas for years, Warner naturally got Nicholas, and he
agreed at once, selling the gown to his good friend on the spot.
But of course, the noblewoman wouldn‘t know any of that, and she sized Nicholas up.
She admitted that the man was exceptionally good–looking, and he had a commanding
temperament to him. But she didn‘t think he was anyone special.
