Chapter 105 The Most Dazzling Woman at the Banquet
Emily's hand rested in Ivan's arm.
This was her first time attending a dinner with Ivan, a moment she had been anticipating for four years.
She knew that Keith must have talked to Ivan, which is why this man was bringing her to such an important business dinner.
Tonight, she had gone all out to dress up.
She wore a sparkling ocean starlight gown worth $800,000, paired with Coco's limited edition diamond necklace. She also carried a unique customized leather bag, making her the most dazzling woman at the banquet.
Emily lifted her chin, accepting the gazes of the crowd.
People in this circle knew that Ivan did not often attend business dinners, and if he did, he always went alone.
This was the first time they had seen Ivan with a female companion.
The DeRoss Group in Cuenca was quite well-known, and coupled with the recent news, many recognized Emily DeRoss as the woman beside Ivan.
"When did Emily DeRoss get involved with Ivan?"
"Wasn't it the Winston family who helped the DeRoss family when they had trouble last time? The relationship between the Winston family and the DeRoss family must be good."
"I also heard that the Winston family and the DeRoss family are planning a marriage alliance."
"Is that true? It seems unlikely. Ten DeRoss families combined are not worth one Winston family. How could Ivan marry Emily?"
"Haven't you seen it? Emily has become Ivan's first female companion. It's not impossible for her to marry into the Winston family."
"..."
Emily could hear the discussions from the people around her clearly.
She straightened her chest, feeling more confident. Tonight, she must seize the opportunity to enter the Winston family.
She would become Ivan's wife.
Only she could become Mrs. Winston!
"Mr. Winston, it's been a while. You look younger and younger
A slightly overweight middle-aged man approached and clinked glasses with Ivan.
Ivan squinted his eyes and calmly asked,"Mr. Robinson, you're thirty-two this year. Are you married?"
Mr. Robinson was a well-known figure in Cuenca's stone industry.
The oil tycoon, who started from scratch ten years ago, ventured into the oil business and earned a considerable fortune. However, his hard work had taken a toll on him, leaving him with a bald spot. He mockingly rubbed his bald head and said to himself,"With this bear-like appearance of mine, no decent woman would be interested in me."
Although he had plenty of women around him for casual flings, when it came to marriage, he still desired to find a proper and respectable lady from a prestigious family. Ivan introduced,"This is Miss DeRoss, and this is Mr. Robinson. Please get acquainted."
Mr. Robinson's eyes immediately fixated on Emily. Haley was known as Cuenca's beauty queen, and Emily, her half-sister, was no less attractive. Especially tonight, Emily had adorned herself elegantly, making her the most dazzling woman at the banquet.
Nervously rubbing his hands, Mr. Robinson said,"Miss DeRoss, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Liam Robinson."
With a smile on her lips, Emily replied,"Hello, Mr. Robinson. I'm Emily." As the general manager of the DeRoss Group for four years, she had naturally heard about Mr. Robinson. People in their circles often described him as a self-made man, young and promising.
The Robinson family was involved in the oil industry, and with the increasing scarcity of oil resources in recent years, their business had flourished, making them a rising force in Cuenca. Emily knew that Mr. Robinson was a significant client of the Winston Group.
