The Ugly Lady Strikes Back novel Chapter 997

She had put on her favorite peach blossom makeup, especially for the grand event tonight. There was a tiny peach blossom on her right cheekbone, refined yet alluring.

She had also put on some highlighter on her collarbone, making it look exceptionally sexy and eye-catching.

Immediately afterward, she pulled her black wavy long hair into a delicate high bun.

After settling her makeup and hairstyle, she hurried off to her enormous dressing room to look for her custom-made Dior gown. She pushed the hanger aside and carefully put on the sleeveless nude gauze nightgown.

Xyla Quest had turned into a little fairy the moment she put on the gown.

From sketching to stitching, Stanley Batton had been keeping a close watch over the gown’s manufacturing. Xyla was really surprised by Stanley’s good taste.

The color was refreshing yet elegant. The design was simple yet imposing. It was the best gown for early summer.

Xyla had picked a diamond crown, her favorite pair of teardrop diamond earrings, and her beloved silver heels to match the gown. She then stood in front of the gold-and-diamond-studded dressing mirror to double-check her final look.

Her beautiful figure was reflected in the mirror.

She was a real-life fairy.

No one else could beat her charm.

Making sure that her makeup was perfect, she grabbed the silver diamond tassel clutch bag from the rack and slid her phone inside. Then, she left the checkroom and headed to the door, intending to meet Stanley downstairs.

However, right at this moment, Stanley strode into the room.

His utter amazement was reflected in his eyes the moment he caught sight of Xyla.

Her beauty was sublime, ethereal, and almost divine. She looked pure yet sexy, lofty yet captivating. It sounded unrealistic, but everything just made sense with her.

She was very much like a snow lotus on a cliff or a white peony on the top of the mountain.

She was born to bloom above everyone.

No one deserved to touch her. Even their gazes would tarnish her.

About ten minutes later, Stanley stalked out of the dressing room.

He was wearing a black Armani Haute Couture suit with a white dress shirt inside. His look was completed with the classy black tie and the pair of black Armani leather shoes.

His hairstyle was the usual fluffy slicked-back hair, simple yet noble, cool yet imposing.

He glowed as he strode across the room. The light exuded from him blinded Xyla effortlessly.

“Let’s go.” Stanley walked up to Xyla.

Xyla nodded, held his arm, and walked out of the room with him.

There was a helicopter waiting for them in the courtyard.

The pair hopped into the helicopter and headed straight to the cruise ship floating in the middle of the sea, where Dragon Group’s 70th-anniversary party was held.
