"The reality now is that if the Wynn family has a chance to climb the ladder, we have to grab it. Who cares whose fiancé the heir is? As long as he takes a liking to Hailey, he can be Hailey's fiancé!"
"That's right! We spent a fortune getting Hailey all dressed up specifically so she could find a good husband at an event like this..." Marianne squeezed Hailey's hand. “With Hailey's skills, winning over Mr. Blackwood will be a piece of cake!"
Hailey was so flattered she felt like she was floating on air. She cupped her blushing face.
From the first moment she saw Nicholas, she had wondered how wonderful it would be if a man as ethereal as him could be hers.
But that dream was a complete fantasy for her...
The last time she saw Nicholas, he had treated her with utter disdain.
On the other hand, there was Serena... who had somehow managed to get close to him.
At the thought of Serena, Hailey lifted her chin slightly.
She really wanted Serena to see just how glamorous she was now!
Even if Serena had hooked up with Nicholas and was hanging out with that group of wealthy heirs, would Nicholas bring her to an event like this?
Would that group of trust-fund kids bring her to Brianna's party?
No!
They couldn't afford the embarrassment!
But now, she could walk into this banquet openly with her family.
That was the difference between her and Serena!
Hailey pouted coquettishly and gave Patrick a coy look. "Daddy, don't you go talking nonsense in front of Isabella later!"
"Oh, look at you, getting all shy! Your intentions are written all over your face. If you really get the chance, don't you hold back!" Patrick laughed heartily.
Logan nodded along. "That's right, Hailey! Don't hold back. As long as you win over the Blackwood heir... that whole group of rich kids hanging around Serena will have to bow their heads and treat you with respect!"
"Hailey, you absolutely cannot let a lowlife from the slums like Serena outshine you!"
At the mention of Serena, Marianne grimaced in disgust. "That jinx only brings trouble to the Wynn family. Why even mention her? If it weren't for her would the Wynn family be on the verge of bankruptcy? Now look at our lucky charm Hailey The moment she returned to the family," we're even able to attend the Blackwood family's banquet in Vaelion City!"
The family chattered on, their voices not particularly quiet.
The people coming and going were all top figures, either rich or
powerful representatives of famous corporations from
international business magazines and financial channels, heads
elite families, and so on...
Seeing this family standing at the entrance to the estate, jabbering away, they
couldn't help but frown, especially at their attire.
The Blackwoods... since when did they associate with such a minor family?
And to invite them to the heiress's coming-of-age party?
