walked, her dress created a rolling wave effect that added to her beauty.
Freya drove to pick up Edward first before heading to the Hood Residence for the banquet.

The banquet was held at the residential estate. Since it was a big event, the Hoods had also invited some media to attend.
As Freya’s car stopped at the end of the red carpet, she noticed that the carpet extended from the mansion. to the outside.
There were media taking photos on the side. On the red carpet, a woman wearing an embroidered floral puffy dress was standing there as she smiled and answered questions.
Freya’s face turned cold as she asked, “Why is she everywhere?”
Edward took a glance, and a hint of coldness flashed across his handsome face. “Let’s get out of the car later.
The woman on the red carpet was none other than Danna.
She was like a runway model who had attended numerous press conferences in the entertainment industry. With a coy and restrained smile on her face, she answered the reporters’ questions in a gentle
voice.
“Miss Delgado, we noticed on the invitation list that you came here as Mr. Monaghan’s companion. Why isn’t he here with you?”
At the mention of Radley. Danna’s face blushed momentarily as she showed a coy and ambiguous expression. “He had something come up unexpectedly.”
Her ambiguous attitude and her blushing seemed to pique the interest of the reporters. Immediately, another reporter asked, “Miss Delgado, when are you and Mr. Monaghan planning to get married?”
At this, Danna looked embarrassed. “Umm-”
However, before she could finish, all the reporters had shifted their attention away from her.
“Who is that?”
“She is the young lady from the Kaufmann family. Don’t you know her?”
“She’s so pretty! She has such a strong presence!”
“That’s right. Miss Kaufmann is the precious daughter of the Kaufmanns. Since the family is a major player in Caltun, she is not your average heiress from a wealthy family!”
The perfect smile on Danna’s face cracked as she turned her head toward the end of the red carpet.
Freya wore an elegant sea-blue fishtail gown, exuding poise and grace while capturing everyone’s
attention.
The sea-blue fishtail gown swayed in layers, creating a beauty that was beyond words. Her fair skin had no blemishes under the bright lights, and the scene was as perfect as the sudden arrival of a goddess!
Danna silently gritted her teeth as hatred and envy pounded her chest like waves, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She had always known that Freya was beautiful and admitted that she was no comparison to her.
However, there was no perfect person in the world.
When one door opened, another closed.
Freya was just a pretty doll without any temper or personality.
However, today…
Her radiance captured everyone’s attention!

Danna clenched her fists as she was lost in thought for a moment. Freya had already walked past her while holding Edward’s arm.
Thinking of the online battle between Danna and Freya, all the reporters were eager to get the scoop.
However, Freya had no interest in seeking attention like Danna. Therefore, she walked like a gust of wind in a strong and imposing manner.
Gritting her teeth, Danna forced a soft and gentle smile as she approached Freya.
“Freya-
Freya had already moved past her as she had always ignored unpleasant people.
However, since someone had come to her, she couldn’t just ignore them. “What is it, Miss Delgado?”
“Freya, are you still angry about what happened before?” Danna stepped forward, and she seemed a little. nervous as she tried to explain, “Freya, I-
Before she could finish, Freya coldly interrupted, “Miss Delgado, could you stop acting shamelessly trying to pull strings?”
The scene fell silent, with only the cameras silently recording.
“Could you just stop pretending to be nice? What is your relationship with me and the Kaufmann family?” Freya frowned and gave a disdainful glance.
Danna, who appeared vulnerable and weak, bit her teeth and explained, “Radley and I are now in a relationship. Since you’re his ex-wife, I thought I should say hi.”
Hearing that, Freya raised her eyebrow. As she was about to retort, a loud female voice came from behind.
her.
Just then. Isabella appeared in a fiery red dress, with exquisite makeup and hairstyle. Her eyebrows arched as she sarcastically exclaimed, “Oh, look who it is! Miss Delgado, after being a mistress, now you’re pretending to be all friendly with Freya? Who are you trying to impress with your fake pitiful look? If people didn’t know any better, they’d think that you are just a mistress paying respects to the wife.”
Among the group of reporters, someone laughed. “Isn’t she Isabella Parker from the Parker family? She certainly lives up to her reputation with her sharp tongue!”
At this point, Danna’s face grew pale as she gazed shakily at Isabella. “Miss Parker, did I offend you somehow?”
Isabella raised her chin and glanced at Danna. “Geez. I have insulted you directly, but you still keep up this act? Ah, after all, you’re just the kind of person who only belongs behind the scenes. You don’t have any other redeeming qualities, except for your remarkable patience.”
Hearing that, Freya laughed. “Izzy, why are you here?”
“I’m forced to come here on behalf of the Parker family because my parents are attending a conference in Vroria.” Isabella complained as she walked up to Freya.
“You are the only child of the Parker family, and you will inherit your family business in the future. Your parents want you to gain more experience” Freya comforted her in response.
The two spoke softly and chatted casually as they walked to the vente.
Being left behind, Danna was furious. However, under the scrutinizing gazes of the reporters around her, she had no choice but to follow along with her eyes slightly red.
“As one would expect from a true heiress, they exhibit a remarkable difference,” the reporters whispered. “Miss Kaufmann and Miss Parker are talking about inheriting the company, while Miss Delgado-”
A female reporter sneered. “All she talks about is men.”
At this. Danna’s face instantly darkened, and she immediately turned to the person who spoke.
However, in the flash of the cameras, she couldn’t see the person in the shado
