"Rolls-Royce Phantoms! And five of them! This kind of lineup... could it be the eldest Lonsdale son himself? He was the one who spearheaded this project, after all," someone guessed, their tone dripping with awe.
"It could be the Shapiro family! The Shapiros are the developers for this project." Mabel craned her neck, her eyes practically shining. She momentarily forgot her anxiety over the invitations, utterly mesmerized by the sheer opulence.
"It is the Shapiros!" A man nearby recognized the lead Rolls-Royce and excitedly pointed it out. "That car is exclusively used by the Shapiros to welcome VIPs! I was lucky enough to see it once a long time ago. I don't know what big shot they were picking up, but they even deployed a helicopter that time!"
Hearing this, Mabel grew even more ecstatic. "It has to be Cyrilla! It's definitely Cyrilla! No one else would get this kind of VIP treatment!"
With her declaration, the parents of Marnie's classmates all buzzed with excitement. Without exception, every single one of them was a parent of the students involved in the bear attack cover-up in the woods.
The motorcade pulled to a smooth stop right in front of the venue's red carpet.
Highly trained bodyguards piled out swiftly. Moving with flawless military precision and solemn expressions, they flanked both sides, forming an invisible perimeter of absolute security.
One of the bodyguards respectfully pulled open the rear door of the middle Phantom.
Everyone's eyes locked onto the slowly opening door.
The first thing to appear was a delicate foot strapped into an exquisite silver heel, the ankle elegantly sculpted. Next, a champagne-colored hem flowed out like liquid silk as a stunningly graceful young woman dipped her head and stepped out of the car.
The evening breeze caught a few meticulously styled strands of hair by her ear, revealing a breathtaking profile and a swan-like neck. The champagne gown made her luminous skin look practically radiant. Under the venue's brilliant lights, she seemed enveloped in a soft, ethereal halo.
She stood tall, her calm gaze sweeping over the crowd. That serene composure, that innate, regal nobility, instantly overpowered everyone present.
"Hiss... so beautiful..." someone sucked in a breath.
"Which family's heiress is this? I've never seen her before!"
"That aura... is unmatched!"
