Chapter 56 Did You Dress Like This To Go Clubbing?

Tonight’s charity dinner was fully organized by the Carrington family. They claimed to donate ten percent of the auction price to charity, but everyone knew their true intentions. The Carrington family had some financial difficulties recently and planned to sell some things to raise cash.

The people in the circle kept silent about it. Jaxon was known for his intelligence and had a passion for online shopping since he was young. The Carrington family had many treasures hidden inside.

It was rare for Jaxon to be so generous this time. Naturally, everyone came after receiving the letter. Even those who didn’t have money

a look at th wanted to come and take a look at the collection. It was reported that the Schmitt’s house was up for auction.

Peyton and Kadence were running out of time. Kadence stuck her head out of the car window. “I’ll park the car and come up. You go ahead and wait for me. Save me a seat up front.

“Okay.”

Kadence had never attended such a party before and thought it was like attending a class in college where she needed to reserve a spot. The seating arrangements for such occasions were pre– arranged.

There are two ways to generally divide positions. The first is to arrange them according to social status. The second is to rely on charitable -funds.

Exactly, Peyton had arranged for Kadence to handle the donation in advance, so she also had a place. You can’t just sit wherever you want.

But Peyton had forgotten one thing. As soon as Peyton arrived at the door, they were stopped.

“Miss, do you have an invitation letter?”

It wasn’t that the security guard wanted to give Peyton a hard time, but who comes here without wearing formal attire? Who shows up

wearing just a down jacket? And you could even see a couple of feathers sticking out.

Peyton calmly said, “At my friend’s place.

“Sorry, miss. You had to wait for your friend to come before going in together.”

This kind of occasion was already quite private, and Peyton could understand the security’s responsibility.

The guests who entered all gave her a glance, Peyton stood straight with composure and calmness.

Just then, Grace appeared with Helena. Peyton could hear Grace’s voice from afar. “Helena, I saw that dress in the interview. I heard that there were a total of 3,650 real diamonds embedded on it, each representing Mr. Dalton’s love for you. I envy your love like this.”

Peyton’s nails dug deep into the palm of her hand. She didn’t even feel the pain. She had always thought that the Starry Dress was designed by Nolan for her, and that he had embedded so many real diamonds for the style. Now she knew it was to commemorate him and Helena.

Nolan had been admiring Helena for ten years.

Helena was surrounded by several women dressed up in a flashy manner. They locked eyes with each other. Helena coldly averted her gaze.

Helena didn’t want to have any involvement with Peyton, in case people found out about Peyton’s past with Nolan.

Grace didn’t think so. That day at the dinner party, Peyton made everyone unhappy. Grace had been waiting for the Schmitt family to go bankrupt and had also befriended Helena, so she didn’t care about Peyton at all.

“Isn’t this our genius? Why did you come dressed like this? I saw you from far away and thought you were a homeless person.

At that moment, the security guard spoke out of turn, “Mrs. Dalton, do you know this young lady? She didn’t bring an invitation. If you know her, you can go in together.

Helena coldly replied, “No.”

Grace took the opportunity to add insult to injury and instructed the security guard, “You better be careful. Don’t let any poor people sneak in. It’s almost the end of this year. They might be so poor that they want to sneak in and steal something. If there is any loss, you can’t afford to compensate.

The security guard nodded repeatedly at them. “Yes. Thank you for reminding me.”

A group of people entered with rolled eyes. The security guard was about to urge Peyton to leave when Lucian, who was smoking outside, saw the scene and quickly intervened.

The security guard quickly let Peyton in.

“Ms. Schmitt, I escorted you in,” Lucian maintained his respectful demeanor towards her.

“No, thank you. I was waiting for my friend. She arrived.

Peyton saw a woman wearing a red mink coat from far away, looking like a flamingo. Kadence was also wearing nude stockings and high heels underneath.

Peyton suddenly didn’t want to admit knowing Kadence anymore. Peyton didn’t expect Kadence to arrive late, changing clothes in the

car.

Kadence drifted over with a fragrant breeze. She was still wearing her exaggerated sunglasses. Peyton turned and walked away. “No, I mistook you for someone else. I’ll go in first.

“Peytie, wait for me!”

Kadence walked up to Lucian in high heels, took off her sunglasses and glared at him. “Did you make Peytie angry again?”

Lucian never commented on women’s clothing, but at this moment…

“Did you think Treasure Hotel was a nightclub? Were you dressed like that to go dancing?”

Kadence had a fierce personality. She was already dissatisfied with Nolan, and seeing Lucian made her even more unhappy.

“You were going to die, and I was going to wear this to go bounce on your grave.

Lucian was also too lazy to argue with a woman. “Come in with me.

Kadence took out the invitation with a proud look on her face. “No need, I have a spot.

As they were talking, Peyton had already gone upstairs. Kason used to like coming here too. He didn’t have many hobbies, but he enjoyed collecting antiques.

When he was wealthy, he bought a lot of antiques. No one knew that during his leisure time, Kason would also make pottery and fire tea cups and bowls by himself.

He was such a man full of artistic and life atmosphere. If it weren’t for the solid evidence, Peyton couldn’t imagine he would do such a crazy thing.

Peyton walked through the antique building. Along the way, Peyton saw the collections behind the glass. Several of them were very familiar. They were the treasures that Kason had collected before.

One of the sculptures had a small tooth mark on it. It was when she was six years old and Kason joked that there was candy inside, so she bit down hard. Her tooth almost fell out.

There was a small tooth mark on the sculpture, which made the whole sculpture more childlike and lovely.

The beautiful memories of the past came to mind. Peyton’s eyes were a little warm. She was like a child, leaning on the glass and not wanting to leave for a long time.

When she came to her senses and remembered the main purpose of her visit today, she turned around and met Nolan who was also in front of the booth.

The black wool coat outlined his tall figure. His black pupils looked at her, like a black hole that couldn’t be seen to the end at a glance. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Nolan just glanced and then looked away.

“Excuse me.” Peyton passed by him with a cold expression. The two seemed to have no connection at all.

Helena walked towards him with a smile on her face. “Nolan, what brings you here?”

Grace cheered on the side, “Of course Nolan came for you. Helena, you and Mr. Dalton are really in love. You haven’t even gotten married yet, and he can’t bear to be separated from you for a moment.

Grace suddenly spotted Peyton and grabbed her, asking, “How did you sneak in? Where are the security guards? How did they let her in?”
