Chapter 660 Small World Indeed
A moment later, Natalie received a text from Yandel with the details of the event.
Before leaving the Bowers residence, Natalie put on her hyper-realistic mask that was full of freckles once again. She drove out of the garage in a Porsche Panamera and headed toward the venue where the Shine Charity Gala was held after dressing up and doing her styling.
Shine Charity Gala was the most prestigious charity event of the year.
When Natalie arrived, both sides of the red carpet were already packed with reporters who were armed with cameras, snapping photos of socialites and celebrities who were walking the red carpet.
Porsche Panamera was considered entry-level among luxury cars.
Besides, Natalie did not even have a chauffeur.
When she walked out of the driver’s seat in an all-white suit, the reporters were stunned and had confused expressions on their faces.
To them, it did not make sense for a guest attending such a prestigious event to drive her own car.
It also seemed ridiculous for a woman to be dressed in a suit, especially at such an event where women would be competing to flaunt their beauty.
More importantly…
The woman’s face was simply too ordinary. In fact, she looked so plain that it did not seem fitting for her picture to be published on news websites or social media sites.
If not for the fact that she was holding an invitation card and that some people had recognized her as the chairwoman of Dream Corporation, those reporters would have thought that she was merely a socialite’s assistant.
Natalie was not interested in being photographed at all.
She greeted the media politely without flattery. In addition, her smart-looking suit and simple makeup gave her the vibe of a dominating queen.
The reporters who were taking pictures of Natalie found themselves being mesmerized by the woman’s charisma and could not stop clicking their cameras.
Natalie could feel herself being blinded by the flash of the cameras.
When the event crew reminded her that she could enter the event hall, she immediately quickened her steps across the red carpet.
As Natalie’s name was not originally included in the guest list, the event host was not prepared and did not know what to say to her. Reading the situation well, Natalie took over the golden marker in a graceful manner and signed her name on the gator board.
Immediately after Natalie penned her autograph, she noticed a flurry of excitement behind her with astonished gasps from the crowd.
“Yara is here!”
“She used to be a celebrity, but she has retired from the industry in order to take over her father’s pharmaceutical business!”
“She has both brains and beauty, not to mention her powerful family background. She also seems to be free of scandals. I bet she’s what every woman wish they could be!”
“She’s definitely the most gorgeous lady around tonight. Take more pictures of her! That’s our cover girl!”
Natalie narrowed her eyes when she saw Yara, who was dressed in an evening gown trimmed with gold sequins, waving to the media on the red carpet.
Yara had changed her dressing style that night, going for a sexy and elegant look, which was a departure from her previous sweet and adorable style.
The gold sequins on the dress perfectly outlined Yara’s curvaceous figure, which was probably the envy of all women. She was also wearing exquisite makeup, complete with a winged eyeliner. Her long hair was tied up into a bun on top of her head that was secured using a hairpin in the shape of an olive branch. The woman looked absolutely breathtaking.
A cold glint appeared in Natalie’s eyes as she fixed her gaze on Yara, who was exceptionally gorgeous that evening.
It was the first time she had seen her sister after knowing the truth about Franklin and Sophia’s birth.
Indeed, it was a small world for the enemies to run into each other.
When Natalie returned the golden marker, she saw Yara walking toward her after the woman was done with her photoshoot with the media.
Yara froze when she met Natalie’s gaze, but her shock only lasted for a moment. A split second later, an alluring smile appeared on her sweet face once more.
Clenching her fists, Natalie remained expressionless as she turned around and entered the main event hall.
The banquet hall was luxuriously decorated with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, casting a warm glow on the guests present.
Judging from the lavish interior of the hall, one could easily deduce that the attendees of the event were either wealthy or influential. Everyone was smiling, holding champagne glasses in their hands.
Natalie picked up a glass of champagne from the waitress’ tray while walking slowly into the hall. However, she could not help but feel out of place.
