Adam was like a magnet, firmly drawing the attention of all the wealthy heiresses in the room. His presence commanded a guaranteed head-turning rate.
Carly gazed at Adam under the lights. How could she not love this man? Now, he stood at the pinnacle of the social hierarchy, the dream of countless heiresses. She was determined to have him.
Carly's heart fluttered as she stared at Adam while Melody was scanning the room for her own target. She wanted to find a tall, rich, handsome man.
In the past three years, the real estate industry had boomed, and Ewan's net worth had skyrocketed, making him the hottest real estate prince. Melody had never wanted to break up with him, but since Ewan had set his sights on Hailey, she had no choice but to take a hefty breakup fee and leave.
"Mel, have you found someone you like? I'll introduce you," Carly offered.
Melody looked a little shy.
Just then, a rich, handsome man approached and looked at Melody. "Hey, gorgeous. Can we exchange numbers?"
Melody's cheeks flushed as she took out her phone. "Sure."
After they exchanged contacts, the man said, "Let's chat on WhatsApp. If you're free, I'd love to buy you a drink."
He walked away, and Carly nudged Melody playfully. "Mel, you're seriously irresistible. Another one is already falling head over heels for you."
Melody beamed. "I have to thank you for bringing me in, Carly."
"We're best friends. It's what I should do."
Over the past three years, Carly and Melody had both thrived. They came from good families and were beautiful, selfish, and vain. As the saying went, women like them always managed to do well.
Carly led Melody over to Adam. "Adam."
The CEOs surrounding Adam immediately greeted her. "Hello, Ms. Hampton! A pleasure to meet you."
Ever since Carly reunited with the Hampton family in the Capitol, she had changed her name back to Carly Hampton.
She smiled. "Nice to meet you."
Carly was overjoyed. She lived for this kind of praise.
Adam, however, looked cold and displeased. He was about to speak when Melody interjected, "Hey, why hasn't Linny, the legendary billionaire, arrived yet?"
At the mention of "Linny", the crowd instantly buzzed with excitement.
"This female mogul, Linny, is truly something else. Her wealth is nearly on par with Mr. Alvarez! She's proof that women can be just as powerful as men."
"Have any of you ever seen Linny?"
"No, she's incredibly low-key and mysterious. None of us have ever met her in person."
Carly had a natural hostility toward Linny. She smirked. "For Linny to achieve this level of success, she must be quite old by now."
Melody nodded. "Most female billionaires are in their 40s or 50s. They've built up years of experience."
