Judy beamed with joy and nted a kiss on Calvin, "I knew you''d always look out for me. I was a bit worried about Zach, though. I hope he doesn''t show up today and embarrass my sister. Although everyone should be treated equally, he is just a waiter. So many high- society guests are here today. They must have been to Vilzell Restaurant. It would be embarrassing for our family if they found out."


    "I''ve made sure our security is tight. He won''t be able to sneak in, Calvin assured her with a look of disdain. ''How can that lowly mane to such a grand asion, he thought.


    Had it not been for her reminder, he would''ve forgotten about that nobody. ''I really should tell the security team to be on alert in case that waiter enters, he thought.


    With that, Calvin summoned the head of the security team and instructed firmly, "Make sure the security is tight today. No uninvited guests should be allowed in!" "Yes, Mr. Kennedy," the head of security immediately ryed the instructions to his team.


    "Let''s head inside," Calvin said, escorting Judy into the banquet hall.


    Upon entering, the pair attracted much attention. Judy, recently gaining public sympathy over an incident involving Elvira that led to her miscarriage, was now widely recognized.


    "I''ll go say hello over there," Calvin said, noticing some important business figures he wanted towork with.


    "Okay, I can take care of myself," Judy replied gently.


    No sooner had Calvin left than a group of people approached Judy, offering their concerns and ttery.


    "Judy, your gown is absolutely stunning! It must have cost at least 400 thousand dors, right?" a girl asked enviously.


    "My grandma spent over 400 thousand dors on this custom gown from Vera Wang," Judy replied with a smile, showcasing the gown''s luxurious embroidery and the exquisite roses adorning its hem.

    "You''re so lucky to have such caring elders and a loving fiancé. You''re truly a winner in life!"


    "Indeed, your gown outshines all others here. You''re the star of the evening!"


    As the women were speaking, amotion at the door drew everyone''s attention.


    Judy''s expression twisted at the sight of Elvira entering, her face turning sour.


    The girls around Judy were also stunned by Elvira''s appearance. The person who had just said Judy''s gown was the prettiest in the entire venue now seemed somewhat at a loss for words. That''s because Elvira''s gown, shimmering like the gxy, was truly the most beautiful sight that evening, without a doubt.


    Under the brilliant lights, Elvira''s champagne-colored gown sparkled dazzlingly. Her tall and graceful figure made the gown look exceptionally elegant. The off-the-shoulder design revealed her delicate corbones and the elegant curve of her swan neck,plemented by her stunningly beautiful face, immediately captivating everyone and overshadowing all the female guests present. She stood out in a naturally effortless grace that truly mesmerized everyone.


    Judy had hoped for Elvira toe, indeed, but not to steal the spotlight with such an imposing presence. She''d expected her to appear unkempt, almost like a beggar, not this breathtakingly beautiful.


    Elvira was too beautiful, effortlessly so, which made Judy, despite her meticulous preparation, seem dim inparison. The

    recent uproar over the sisters'' conflict had everyone aware of Elvira''s identity, inevitably leading toparisons between the two.


    Whispers spread through the crowd, remarking on how the Willis family''s lesser-known elder daughter seemed pretty in videos, but in person, she was absolutely stunning, far outshining Judy.


    Hearing thesements nearly drove Judy to the brink. She hated anyone makingparisons between her and Elvira.


    Amber also saw Elvira and her expression darkened. Noticing Judy''s distress, she quickly came over, took her hand, and said, "Judy, your hand is so cold. Ever since you lost the baby, your health has declined."


    She deliberately brought up Judy''s recent miscarriage, aiming to remind everyone of how malicious Elvira was.


    A malicious person, no matter how beautiful, will still be despised by everyone,'' she thought. ''Except those who were taken by her bewitching face.


    Sure enough, as soon as Amber spoke, everyone remembered that Elvira had deliberately caused Judy to miscarry. The way they looked at her changed, and some even stepped back, as if afraid she might harm someone on impulse.


    Karen was greeting distinguished guests when she overheard the conversations and saw Elvira. The moment she saw her, her expression sank. She knew her arrival spelled trouble. She wouldn''t have allowed her toe if it wasn''t to ensure that Judy could be with Calvin without futureplications.


    After excusing herself from the guests, Karen approached Elvira with a cold face, "Look at you, what are you wearing? Where did you get these cheap clothes and fake jewelry? Keep a low profile today; the Willis family cannot afford to be disgraced!"


    Today, when Elvira went to Tracy to change her gown, Tracy had specifically adorned her with a set of matching jewelry that looked very luxurious. The ne, earrings, and ring were all with 5-carat diamonds, a bit ostentatious, but theyplemented her well, making her stand out brilliantly.


    Tracy had imed they were fake, so Elvira wore them without feeling pressured.


    "The Willis family being disgraced? Hasn''t it already happened enough? Weing a mistress into the home, and now another mistress shows up. I live with integrity; if anyone brings shame to the Willis family, it couldn''t possibly be me!" Elvira retorted coldly.


    Hearing her words nearly infuriated the elder Karen to death. "This girl dares to speak of mistresses at such a crucial gathering, an absolute defiance, she thought. ''Seems she can''t be allowed to stay in the country longer. Otherwise, she will only further disrupt the Willis family. Judy, most fearful of the mistress topic, hurried over. "Elvira, we''re all happy you coulde, grandma especially. Oh, I saw the traditional clothes you bought for grandma as a birthday gift. Did you leave it outside?"


    Elvira looked at Judy with utter speechlessness. "Did you just go nut? You''re so fond of making up stories. When did I say it was for your grandma? Assuming makes an ass out of you and me!"
