Chapter 143 Stunning
“Lady, what can I do for you?” the frontman of the security team rushed over with a few guards.
“Get her out! She is trying to enter without invitation card. She must be planning for a fraud or
something.” Said Leila disdainfully.
“Miss, I am sorry to tell you that you are not admitted to the banquet unless with an invitation card.
Please leave here before we resort to force.” Said the frontman seriously to Jessica.
Leila felt pretty annoyed whenever she saw Jessica.
What annoyed her the most was that Jessica actually appeared so eye-catching when wearing this
dress, which was a limited-edition one with the total of three in the whole world. It cost more than a
tremendous amount of money to get it. At the thought of that, Leila was burning with jealousy.
Undoubtedly, Jessica’s beauty entirely crashed Leila’s confidence of her own charming appearance as
soon as she showed up.
“Jessica, just go away before you are getting yourself truly embarrassed.” Leila huffed arrogantly.
“Enough!” a serious voice sounded from behind.
As Leila turned around, she saw Valentina was walking over, followed by Professor Hawkins.
“Ms. Fletcher, this is my sister, Jessica. I didn’t expect her to show up while getting no invitation. I feel
so sorry about that. But she still insisted that she was invited…Actually, she didn’t even finish her study
in junior middle school. I am sure she is still too humble to appear in such an occasion. So I was trying
to persuade her to leave.” Leila started feigning a sensible look.
“She didn’t finish her study in middle school? Are you sure?” Valentina looked at Leila surprisedly while
frowning.
“Yes, actually, my father had sent her to somewhere else far away since she was a kid, where she
barely could access to decent education. And I feel so sorry about that.” Leila let out a smile of
hypocrisy to apologize.
“Jessica, this is an important occasion. Don’t mess around. You look good in appearance but you still
need to work to improve yourself from the inside. Stop playing frivolous and learn to make a wise
choice.” Professor Hawkins appeared quite surprised when seeing Jessica’s arrival. But meanwhile, he
showed no hesitation to reveal his disgust against her.
After all, Leila had been telling him about the despicable story of Jessica she fabricated. So his
impression about Jessica remained awful.
From his point of view, Jessica must be contemptible though she looked pretty.
“Jessica, please leave on your own before you turn yourself into such a joke. Otherwise, I am afraid the
security guards are gonna drive you out by force.” Leila still pretended to be considerate.
“Enough! Jessica is the honorable guest I invited! How dare you say that!” huffed Valentina coldly.
What?
The honorable guest?
A bang of dizziness impacted on Leila. She could never believe what she had just heard.
She couldn’t help gazing at Valentina with a weird look.
Jessica was invited by Ms. Fletcher?
How could it be?
“Jessica, you should have noticed me beforehand so that I could come to your house to pick you up.”
Valentina smiled at Jessica friendly.
“Ms. Fletcher, I really appreciate your concern. I just met my sister as soon as I entered. So I spent a
couple of minutes talking with her.” Jessica replied while looking at Valentina with her pure eyes.
Obviously, she was complaining about Leila.
“It was I who invited Jessica here! Learn to be discerning next time!” Valentina reproached coldly while
looking at Leila.
“I am so sorry.” The frontman soon left with the security team.
Leila felt like being greatly humiliated. Of course she could tell that Valentina was actually referring to
her while reproaching the security team.
“Oh, Jessica, I am so glad you would like to attend the banquet tonight after I have invited you for so
many times before. You look really stunning right now. You are the first one I have ever thought about
as soon as I saw this dress. You literally bring this dress to another level when you put it on. I bet the
brand is gonna make you endorse their product.” The longer Valentina stared at Jessica, the more
adorable she found Jessica to be.
“Thank you, Ms. Fletcher, I love this dress.” Jessica smiled decently to reply.
“I am glad that you like it. Come on, I gotta introduce some medical experts to you.” Valentina held her
hand to lead her in.
Seeing that, Leila was going crazy!
How could it be!
Valentina had been staying aloof while talking to her but she appeared incredibly friendly to Jessica!
What was more, Valentina actually offered her this piece of dress?
Obviously, Valentina had reclined great favor to Jessica.
However, she remained indifferent while facing Leila, which rendered her desperately upset.
“Jessica, Leila is your sister?” while walking some distance, Valentina couldn’t help asking.
“Actually, no…we share no kinship by blood.”
“No wonder you are so different from her…” Valentina led her into the crowd of experts.
Leila seemed to be frozen. She found it hard to take a step forward while watching the back of both
Valentina and Jessica.
Being led by Valentina into the group of experts, Jessica maintained a composed look coupled with
decent manner. She managed to win herself the great compliment among those experts.
Soon, she turned to be the focus of all.
Leila couldn’t never figure out how Jessica, such a humble girl, won the favor of Valentina.
Even though she hired a team to dress herself up as perfectly as possible while she was bearing great
confidence when stepping into the venue, Valentina actually responded with a disdainful look.
On the contrary, Jessica easily got the favor of all, even including Valentina’s.
“Professor, why? How come she got to know Ms. Fletcher and she could talk to her as if they were
friends?” Leila’s face went pale when she looked at Professor Hawkins.
“I don’t know what’s going on. But Ms. Fletcher has ever told me that she came here just for a girl this
time. I have never expected that Jessica was actually the girl she mentioned.” Professor started to be
lost in thought. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
What?
Leila felt like being shocked by a bolt from the blue.
She could tell that there must be something fishy happening to Jessica so that she could turn to be
such an elite from a humble girl.
“Jessica, actually, I travelled all this way here to do something important for you—I gotta introduce a
medical talent to you.” Valentina said to Jessica after she met all the honorable guests around.
“Oh, I really wanna know who it’s gonna be.” Said Jessica.
“That’s a secret. But you will soon find out. Wait, let me see when he will reach.” Valentina was
tantalizing her.
“Hey, where are you?” Valentina made a call to his nephew after anxiously looking for him inside the
venue.
“Aunt Valentina, I don’t wanna go to the banquet. It’s boring.” Answered Wilfred on the phone.
“Hey, you brat! It takes me quite a lot of efforts to get the girl here! How dare you fail me? Listen, get
over here, right now!” Valentine urged.
“I don’t wanna go for a blind date.” Wilfred insisted.
“Wilfred, I know those common girls won’t attract you. But listen, this girl is really special. I bet you will
have a crush on her at the very first sight. Her name is Jessica…she’s really…”
However, before Valentina could finish, Wilfred suddenly cut in, “Wait? What’s her name? You mean
you are talking about Jessica?”
