Chapter 55
“The gem’s value is subjective.
It depends on whether you appreciate it or not,” Bryson responded, his eyes lowered, telling Hannah sincerely, “To me, it’s just a rock.
”
Then he added, “Think of it as my consultation fee.
”
At that point, it would have seemed disingenuous for Hannah to reject the gift again.
Accepting the gem, Hannah assured, “Mr.
Mitchell, I won’t be late for the charity event.
”
On the day of the charity event, Hannah was prompt for her styling appointment.
As her look neared completion, Lydia was still a no-show.
Hannah decided to ring her up.
“I’m on my way, darling! Got a little delayed.
Head to the party without me.
”
Hannah massaged her forehead, responding in exasperation, “Lydia, could you be a bit more punctual? You’re always late.
Fine, I’ll wait at the entrance.
”
That day, to complement her dress, Hannah’s hair was elegantly pinned up and embellished with a traditional green hairpin, leaving everyone captivated by her ethereal, traditional charm.
Arriving at the venue in a special car, Hannah refrained from entering immediately, choosing instead to wait for Lydia on the sidelines.
“Who’s that stunning woman over there? Is she a celebrity? She’s glowing!”
“Looks like they’ve invited some stars today, but she’s new to me.
Celebrities are just on another level!”
Despite her discretion, Hannah’s look drew a continual crowd of admirers.
Just then, a message from Bryson buzzed on Hannah’s WhatsApp.

Being the event’s organizer, Bryson was tied up but had requested Hannah notify him upon her arrival for someone to guide her in.
Hannah looked down and texted back, “Just got here.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Waiting for a friend.
I’m fine, don’t worry.
”
At that moment, Declan, Sadie, and Eliana appeared, all dressed up in glamorous attire.
As they ascended the hotel steps, Eliana casually looped her arm through Declan’s.
Yet, the crowd’s murmur redirected their gaze toward Hannah at the entrance.
Her slender, alluring neck, adorned with a sapphire necklace, radiated an unmatched elegance.
Declan was somewhat taken aback, having never seen Hannah look so spectacular.
His heart fluttered.
Noticing Hannah, Sadie blurted out, “Oh my God! What’s she doing here?
Look at her dress! She’s probably wondering how to get inside.
Seems like she doesn’t even have an invitation.
