Rebirth Swapped Bride: Married to a Ruthless Cursed billionaire Book2-Chapter 69: Birthday Banquet

Chapter 69: Birthday Banquet
In the mirror, Beauty, clad in a long, flowing white dress, looked ethereal.
The dress, adorned with sky-blue and light pink flowers, accentuated her curves, making her look like a fairy who had inadvertently stumbled into the world of mortals.
Hannah’s eyes widened in surprise, her mouth agape.
She tugged at Beauty’s dress hemline, her face filled with awe.
"Beauty, you’ll be the most beautiful in this dress.
You look like a heavenly maiden descended to Earth.
It’s so beautiful!"
Seeing the overly exaggerated expression on her close friend, Beauty let out a soft sigh.
Turning her head sheepishly towards the shop assistant, she offered a smile.
"I’ll take this dress.
Please wrap it up along with that pair of crystal high heels and deliver them to the Marson villa."
"Of course," the assistant responded.
"Director Marson has already instructed us to iron and deliver your selections promptly to the villa.
But may I say, your figure is truly exceptional.
Any outfit would look great on you."
The assistant shot an envious look at Beauty.
Standing at her side, Hannah playfully nudged her friend’s arm, smiling.
"Our Beauty is beautiful.
Even in ordinary clothes, she makes them look tailor-made."
After choosing evening gowns, the two friends stopped by a dessert shop.
For Beauty, strolling around with her best friend was absolute bliss.
"Beauty, has that handsome Marson let you off house arrest?
Are you totally free now?"
Hannah looked at Beauty, her face brimming with excitement, as she dug her spoon into an ice cream.
Lucas used to treat Beauty like a bird in a golden cage.
Other than going to school, he would force her to stay home, learning all sorts of etiquette and deportment.
Even so, she had to credit her naturally-born elegance to that pervert.
"I used to only study and attend various classes.
I had no personal space, let alone make friends.
That perverted man made me miss out on so many pleasures.
But now, I’m completely free."
Thinking about her newfound freedom in college, her heart surged with excitement.
She had just finished two portions of ice cream, a satisfied look moving across her face.
"Congrats on your successful escape from the devil king’s confinement and achieving real freedom!
So, can I infer that you’re now open to romantic possibilities?"
With a countenance filled with curiosity, Hannah glanced at her, slightly raising her eyelids with a secretive grin on her face.
Beauty gave her a sidelong glance, the thought of falling in love had never crossed her mind.
For her, nothing was more important than escaping from Lucas’s control.
"What are you talking about?
I have absolutely no interest in finding love!
All I want is freedom."
Hannah’s eyebrows furrowed, "So, you don’t have any desire to date Senior Samuel?
Even a dimwit could see that he likes you.
A guy as flashy-looking and discreet as he is might just be on the brink of extinction in this world.
You shall regret it if you don’t seize this chance..."
Hannah continued her arguments while provocatively raising her eyebrows at Beauty, reminding her of the villains one would see on TV.
Beauty felt a chill, as if goosebumps were falling off her skin.
"When did I ever express the desire to be with Senior Samuel?
I have always treated him as a good friend, more like an older brother.
You’re the most mischievous girl I know."
Beauty lightly tapped Hannah’s forehead with her finger, made a silly face at her, and then burst into innocent laughter.
"How am I mischievous?
I believe you and Senior Samuel are a perfect match.
You two are absolutely ’a talented man and a beautiful woman - a truly perfect couple.’"
Beauty’s smile broadened even more.
Squinting her eyes at her best friend while biting her spoon of ice cream, she said, "I think you and Senior Samuel would make an even more compatible pair!"
Her words left Hannah’s face a vivid shade of red as she embarrassedly shot a glance at Beauty.
The corners of her eyes and brows were full of smiles, "Leisurely, is it true what you said?
If you’re not interested in him, then I’ll take the initiative myself."
"I can only wish you good luck."
Beauty Leisurely threw the box in her hand into the trash bin, and stood up from the chair with a smile.
The two of them made their way to the street amidst laughter. ...
The banquet was held at the City International Royal Club, a new entertainment center under the Marson family.
This banquet attracted almost all the authoritative media in the country, and it was even broadcast live, a grand scene indeed.
Seizing this opportunity, he also made a mobile advertisement for the opening of the club.
Almost everyone in the City was aware of this banquet.
Of course, the guests invited were all high-profile figures, other than teachers and classmates who had a good relationship with Beauty Leisurely in school, the attendees were all CEOs from various companies.
In the evening, the entrance of the club was packed with luxury cars, and the dazzling neon lights lit up the entire mainstream street.
The security at the entrance was lined up to another main street, buzzing with chatter and remarkably lively.
"Leisurely, don’t be too nervous, just treat it as a large-scale birthday party.
If there’s any problem, both me and Lucas will help you."
Sarah, in a beige hip-wrapping mini-dress, stood by Beauty Leisurely’ s side.
Her chestnut-colored wavy hair encased her already delicate face, making her look alluring and somewhat mysterious.
In contrast with Beauty Leisurely’ s fresh fairy-like dress, both had their unique charm.
The makeup artist carefully applied a layer of orange lipstick for her, then she turned to the makeup mirror and sighed with satisfaction,
"Miss Beauty, your beauty is naturally gifted.
These cosmetics can only serve as your embellishment."
Sarah pinched her fair and tender cheek, teasing and comforting, "Lucas will be dazzled by your outfit today, You Beauty, you’ve grown into an incomparable beauty."
Pfft... She shyly stuck her tongue out and looked at Sarah admiringly,
"I think Sarah is the type of woman men and women both fall in love with.
Whether it’s the temperament or appearance, you’re a celestial beauty, of course I can’t compare."
"It seems the two of us have started complimenting each other."
No sooner had she finished speaking when Drake and Lucas appeared at the dressing room entrance, dressed in contrasting black and white.
Both men had a playful smile on their faces, looking calm and composed as if this banquet had not been meticulously planned by them.
Sarah glanced at Drake for a moment, then turned her gaze to Lucas.
She stood up with Beauty and smiled brightly.
"You Beauty is surely the focus of the event today, your taste is sharp."
Lucas curled his lips, unfazed, his expression as calm as ever, "The woman standing by my side, Lucas, would of course be the center of attention.
You Beauty , I want you to meet the Marson family.
They’re all waiting inside a private room, eager to meet you."
With a slip of her hand, her bag slid to the floor with a crisp sound of metal chains, breaking the silence of the dressing room.
"You don’t need to be so nervous.
Now that you’re my woman, no one will treat you badly."
His comment stirred ripples.
Everyone, including Sarah, was startled and looked at Beauty with even more surprise.
