Chapter 100 Looking For A Suitable Gown
Heaving a sigh, Conner nodded and said, “No. The Campbell clan’s too scary. Do you know how much money and connections they have? That, I have no idea. I’ve only met the Campbells once, but I know right away that’s what a true aristocratic family looks like.”
Nigel’s eyes burned with resolution as he said, “I’m still young. Hence, it’s still possible for me to make the Wilson family of Tayhaven a world-renowned, affluent family.”
He paused before leaving the room, then walked to the “goldfish bowl” and scanned his surroundings. “There’s still half an hour left until the banquet begins. You all should get changed in the room next door.”
Only then did the crowd disperse, rushing to their respective pre-arranged rooms.
Everyone had an individual changing room to themselves, where each was cleaned till spick and span earlier.
Jennifer was feeling troubled.
Upon seeing that, Linda asked, “Jenny, what’s the matter?”
Jennifer replied softly, “I didn’t know the rules, so I don’t have a gown with me.”
“Can you make it in time if you buy one now?” Linda asked. She was worried when she arrived at that idea.
Jennifer shook her head in response. “I’ll look around and find a fitting one.”
Nigel strode toward her as she spoke.
Jennifer stopped dead in her tracks and gazed at Nigel, casting a complex expression.
Although Nigel treated her well, she was displeased with his decision. She felt like she had let him down, thus feeling remorse at that moment.
Nonetheless, Nigel was his usual self.
Putting on a usual, nonchalant look, he said calmly, “If you didn’t bring a gown, I can arrange someone to get one for you. I think we have all the sizes.”
It was then that a tall usherette appeared behind him, intending to take Jennifer somewhere to choose her gown.
Jennifer pondered for a moment before declining, “It’s fine. I think I have one with me.”
Her father and mother were throwing glances at her, gesturing at her to accept the offer.
To their dismay, Nigel had already faked a smile while shaking his head. His last bit of affection toward Jennifer had vanished at that moment. With that, he turned and slunk away.
His eyes darkened as he turned away as if a storm was brewing in the dark orbs. He had made up his mind that he would get Jennifer into his bed by any means and tear down her last defenses.
He did not want someone with wild ambitions.
Leonard, Linda, and Kevin promptly chased after him upon seeing the scene. They followed behind Nigel and started making up for Jennifer.
“She’s still not good with words. Please forgive her rudeness,” and other similar excuses were what they came up with.
Nigel, however, cast an unbothered smile, seeming relatively cold. If he did not need to take care of his image due to the number of guests on that day, he would have given Linda a hard slap and sent her flying away.
Who do you all think you are?
Jennifer walked out of the hall to find that the guests had started entering the changing rooms. At that moment in time, the large manor felt relatively deserted. Feeling nonplussed, Jennifer wondered if it was the right choice to enter the Wilson family of Tayhaven.
However, I have come so far. Can I still turn back now?
Heaving a sigh inwardly, she decided to wear that cheap gown she always carried with her.
At the very least, it was better than nothing.
To her surprise, someone appeared before her eyes out of somewhere. She could not help but flinch a little.
It was an icy-cold man.
Not only his look and expression were cold, but even his aura was also frosty.
His contour was charming, but there was a slight fault – the corners of his eyes were too long.
He put down the briefcase he had been carrying next to Jennifer’s legs. “These are your clothes and necklace. Please put them on.”
Unsurprisingly, his tone was cold too. Leaving no chance for Jennifer to reject the offer, he turned and walk away, disappearing from her sight in a blink of an eye.
He was one of the Four Greatest Divine Generals of Horizon Group, Kingsley, the Wyvern King.
In truth, Kingsley was excited deep down, as it was his first time meeting the mistress. He even felt honored.
Jennifer froze there for a long time, bewildered. She had no idea who gave those clothes to her.
