Chapter 873 The Right Candidate
"Alice, is that dress from the winter collection? I think I saw it in a magazine. I heard this brand only lends dresses to their partners, and their spokesperson is an international Best Actress winner," Diana said unctuously.
Alice flashed a proud smile. "You bet."
The PR manager of the brand was friends with Karen, and Alice had asked Karen to pull some strings, putting in quite an effort.
"Alice, that tiara on your head looks so luxurious, all those diamonds," Diana said greasily.
"Of course, this diamond tiara is worth 18 million dollars." Alice had to return it tonight, so she eagerly pulled Diana to start taking pictures.
A few socialites walked by, glancing at Alice.
"So tacky."
"Yeah, way too showy."
Rachel and Chloe were sitting in the lounge area with champagne, along with a few other socialites. They greeted each other with smiles. A socialite in a pink feather dress and a blue sequined slit dress strode over. Rachel smiled and nodded, recognizing her as Isolde Everhart and Marigold Prescott, both well-known in their circle.
The Everhart Family and the Prescott Family were also industry leaders.
The Prescott Family was in real estate and was the most famous developer in Emberlyn.
Marigold held her champagne. "Who's that woman wearing last year's diamond crown, an outdated accessory, and taking pictures? How did someone like that get into the socialite party?"
Isolde said, "Maybe she snuck in without a proper invitation."
Chloe looked over at the sound. "Which one?"
Isolde pointed. "That one, in the starry dress, wearing an outdated tiara, covered in diamonds, looking so tacky and cheap. Her makeup is also very average. And she looks like in quite an effort to put on everthing expensive?"
Rachel also looked over.
Chloe was stunned. "Isn't that Alice?"
Rachel pursed her lips.
Isolde, a bit surprised, exchanged a glance with Marigold.
Marigold thought, 'Alice isn't that Adrian's fiancée? I know about Isolde's crush on Adrian. When Adrian announced his engagement to Alice, Isolde was jealous of Alice and cried for a long time after finding out Alice was just a nouveau riche's daughter. So this woman is Alice, really looking quite ordinary. Although she's pretty, her heavy makeup looks cheap. And with that dress, even though it's a new season's design from a good brand, pairing it with that diamond tiara makes her look tacky, like a display of gold and jewels. What poor taste!'
Isolde gritted her teeth. "What is it about her that captivates Adrian?"
Marigold quickly comforted Isolde, who bit her red lips.
Ainsley walked over to Rebecca and told her that Natalie had arrived. Rebecca was holding champagne and talking to Fiora, the editor-in-chief of a top magazine. She nodded and said to Fiora, "Our brand ambassador will also be announced tonight. She's here too."
Fiora smiled. "Is it Wendy?"
Rebecca shook her head. "We have a better candidate."
Fiora was a bit surprised and also a bit expectant, as Wendy had already shot the advertisement.
