Chapter 108 A Rich Baby
Victor personally sent out invitations for the Clark Group's anniversary celebration, and virtually every notable figure in the country was on the guest list.
What was most astonishing was that the anniversary celebration refused all brand sponsorships. All the venue setups, drinks, and food were arranged by top international experts, showing the importance placed on this event.
A few days had passed, and Natalie's online criticism had subsided somewhat, though there were still occasional voices from marketing accounts. Instead, the focus shifted to finding the mysterious wealthy woman known as "A Rich Baby."
Spending $200 million right off the bat, buying luxury goods in a live stream without asking for prices, and sweeping through Eldoria— this "Rich Baby" had become a trending topic.
However, apart from the live stream records provided by the host, nothing was known about this mysterious person.
Netizens speculated that since she bought the host's $200 million worth of goods, she would have to pick them up eventually. By closely monitoring the pickup information, they believed they could uncover the true identity of this "Rich Baby."
Natalie was happy to watch the drama unfold and cause a sensation online without revealing herself.
After all, she didn't rely on the entertainment industry for a living and didn't need to expose everything about herself to the public.
The Clark Group's anniversary celebration was set in the largest banquet hall in the business core area, a semi-open venue that could accommodate a thousand people. From the upper floors, one could overlook much of the bustling city.
In several directions opposite the venue, besides a shimmering river running north to south, there were dozens of famous landmark buildings. The massive electronic screens, usually billed by the second, were all displaying anniversary celebration messages from Clark Group.
Indeed, it was an extravagant display of advertising.
The arriving business tycoons, celebrities, and media reporters all marveled at the grand scale of the Clark Group's anniversary celebration. It was just an anniversary, yet it was celebrated with such grandeur, leaving everyone astonished.
Natalie arrived early at the venue's lounge. Victor was outside mingling, and Ulysses insisted on helping her choose her dress and jewelry, not allowing any compromise.
Even those accustomed to grand events from luxury brands began to feel nervous. The custom-made dress for Natalie was a unique high-end creation, the result of several days of brainstorming and design by top international designers. All their inspiration and design were incorporated into thirteen dresses, each a stunning collectible piece, unprecedented on the international stage.
"Ms. Clark, which dress do you think is best for your first appearance?" the designer asked with a smile.
Natalie couldn't take her eyes off the thirteen luxurious and exquisite dresses before her.
Before she could speak, Ulysses waved his hand. "Whichever is the most expensive, she'll wear that one!"
Natalie was helpless.
The designer timidly said, "Mr. Clark, these dresses can't be measured by money anymore."
Natalie smiled and pointed to a light gray off-shoulder gown, simple yet elegant, adorned with hexagonal diamonds, stunningly beautiful.
"This one," she said.
The designer nodded in agreement. "Ms. Clark, you have a good taste. The first impression should be the most memorable. If the dress overshadows you, it would be inappropriate. Though the color of this dress is understated, the design is unique. Each diamond is carefully selected, and its placement complements your figure, highlighting your slender frame and fair skin. Paired with these high heels, it's simply perfect!"
Someone nearby took a pair of expensive and exquisitehigh heels over .
Ulysses nodded repeatedly, his understanding of the designer's words uncertain. Yet, he felt reassured that the dress was a fitting choice for Natalie, given the designer's praise.
He asked, "And the jewelry? Where's the stuff I had brought back from the royal family in Novara?"
Someone immediately brought it over carefully.
"Mr. Clark, it is here. It was just sent over throught the airline , without a scratch."
Ulysses glanced over and nodded. He then looked at Natalie. "Natalie, do you like it? If not, I'll have itchanged right away. There are other pieces of jewelry, but this one is the most expensive!"
Natalie smiled helplessly and, with a glance, knew that the jewelry had been well-preserved. The diamond's shine was dazzling, and fortunately, the design was simple enough. The simple and classic Novara local floral necklace perfectly matched the dress.
Natalie answered, "No need. It's beautiful. Let's go with this one."
Just then, Victor knocked and entered. "Dad, the Kensington family has arrived."
