Chapter 164
Cherie looked at Agnes with envy. "Agnes, you really married into a good family! If I were lucky as you, or rather, if my future husband is half as excellent as Mr. Neville, I would be satisfied!"
After all, someone like Leopold was truly rare. She didn't have high expectations, just hoped to find someone half as excellent as him.
"Don't worry! Cherie, you're so cute, you'll definitely meet someone who loves you!" Agnes patted Cherie's head and encouraged her with a smile.
Cherie nodded happily and said confidently, "That's right, I'm exceptionally cute! I will work hard, and even if I can't marry someone like Mr. Neville, I will become an amazing person on my own!"
"Great idea!" The two chatted as they walked, and Agnes showed Cherie her walk-in closet. "Alright, now that you've seen everything, I need your help with something."
"What is it?" Cherie asked eagerly as she rushed into the closet, excited by the clothes and jewelry.
"I'm attending a business gathering tonight, and Leopold is too busy. Can you accompany me?" Agnes looked through the dresses and held a pink one against Cherie.
Cherie spotted a red evening gown in the corner and jumped excitedly. "Agnes, wear that red one, it will definitely make you the star of the night!"
Agnes glanced at the red dress and shook her head gently, "For this occasion, something more formal is better. This one is too flashy."
"How about this white one?"
"Not bad, let's try it."
"Okay!" The two enthusiastically matched dresses and jewelry in the closet until Kevin's call brought the almost dozing Agnes back to her senses. Cherie, meanwhile, was busy getting herself ready.
"Kevin." Agnes was puzzled over the lipstick organizer, unsure which color to choose.
"Mrs. Neville, I'm here to take you and Ms. Lopez to the event." Kevin marveled at Agnes' special status in Leopold's heart. Despite the busy company affairs, he was sent to be the driver.
If Leopold had the time, he would have personally escorted Agnes.
"Alright, we'll be ready soon." Agnes grabbed a subtle lipstick and walked into the closet, where Cherie was putting on earrings.
Seeing her outfit, Agnes was speechless; Cherie was dressed like a peacock.
Kevin stopped the car and said softly, "I'm downstairs, ready to go anytime."
"Okay, we'll be down soon." Hanging up, Agnes quickly applied the lipstick and hurriedly pulled Cherie downstairs.
In the hotel lobby, Agnes in a champagne-colored dress and Cherie in a green lace dress attracted many glances. One was high-profile, the other low-key, creating a stark contrast.
Cherie whispered to Agnes, "Look at everyone's admiring glances, they're all on you."
Agnes sighed, "I don't feel it."
Cherie couldn't help but reveal her thoughts proudly, "Agnes, I did it on purpose, to highlight your uniqueness!"
Agnes could only smile helplessly. "As long as you're happy."
The event was filled with Lumina City's business elites. Agnes recognized Michael and even Ella.
Jeffrey walked over, frowning as he scrutinized Cherie and scolded in a low voice, "Do you know what kind of event this is? Dressed like this, do you think you're here for a date? You should learn from Agnes!"
Agnes felt helpless and couldn't help but think, 'Why are Uncle and Aunt always praising others but so strict with their own children?'
Cherie pouted in protest. "I was just trying to highlight Agnes' uniqueness."
Agnes chuckled and reassured Jeffrey, "Uncle, it's my first time at such an event, and I feel more at ease with Cherie here."
Jeffrey glared at Cherie and asked Agnes, "What identity are you attending as today?"
"Wonderhaven Private Club legal representative."
Jeffrey seemed surprised, realizing Leopold truly treated Agnes differently. "Isn't the legal representative Leopold? How did it become you?"
Agnes smiled awkwardly. "I didn't ask for details. Leopold asked me to attend, and he didn't explain further."
Jeffrey added, "Then let's listen to the introductions."
The host would introduce some key figures, such as the legal representative of Lumina City's Wonderhaven Private Club.
After Jeffrey left, Agnes and Cherie were surrounded by several unfamiliar people, all inquiring about their backgrounds.
The two responded with smiles, and if they couldn't handle it, they would say, "The exchange will start soon, and the host will introduce us."
Unable to get any information from them, the crowd gradually dispersed.
At this moment, a man in a white suit walked over with a drink, standing quietly beside Agnes, watching her.
Cherie whispered, "Is that your ex-boyfriend? When did he come back?"
Agnes politely smiled and nodded at Michael, then continued whispering, "He's been back for a while."
Michael's gaze followed Agnes, not missing a single moment of her interactions with Cherie.
Her every move captivated his attention.
The exchange began, and after the host's speech, he introduced the guests, "Welcome the CEO of the Wright Group, one of the top ten outstanding young people, and founder of TechNova Solutions, Mr. Wright!"
Michael's achievements were extraordinary, and everyone nodded in approval. He smiled at Agnes before stepping forward to give a brief speech.
