Chapter 1649: 403: Slap in the face_5 Chapter 1649: 403: Slap in the face_5 “Of course,” Sherry was particularly excited.

The store’s surveillance footage was linked to Su.

Upon receiving Sherry’s message, Su immediately checked the surveillance and was stunned at what he saw.

He had thought that no one in his lifetime would ever wear a dress he designed.

Unexpectedly,
someone was able to embody the most beautiful aspect of that dress.

Su quoted a price.

Sherry approached Mary Perryne, extended the tablet she was holding, and said, “Miss Perryne, Su mentioned that if Miss Thompson is willing to be the brand ambassador for us, this dress will be given to her for free.”

ANSU is an internationally renowned luxury brand.

Many big-name stars would pay out of their own pockets just to get the ambassadorship.

It has always been them approaching ANSU for collaboration. When has ANSU ever actively sought an ordinary person to be a brand ambassador?

This was a first.

Sherry continued, “Additionally, Su mentioned that if Miss Thompson agrees, a three billion endorsement fee can also be paid.”

Sherry thought she was hallucinating when she heard about the three billion endorsement fee.

It turns out beauty really can be as valuable as gold.

Sherry thought that Mary would accept eagerly, but instead, Mary took out a black card, “Sherry, please just charge it directly.”

“Don’t you want to ask how much this dress costs?” Sherry asked.

Mary smiled slightly, “No need.”

As long as Viola Thompson looked good in it, she was willing to spend any amount.

Sherry took the black card with both hands and went to make the payment.

Belinda was so jealous that her eyes turned red.

She had thought Mary was just a freeloader and a beggar, but it turned out Mary was actually a rich woman.

A dress worth sixty million was bought without a second thought.

…

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Viola Thompson came to Country P to attend a lecture.

In addition, she was also invited to a bonfire Banquet held by the Li nation of Country P.

The bonfire Banquet was very lively.

Rudolf Sale, Susan Salem, and their son Hobar Salmen attended the Banquet on time.

Susan held her husband’s arm, smiling, “We might even meet an old friend here tonight.”

Rudolf Sale was curious, “Who?”

“Harlan Lentz and Eleanor Armstrong,” Susan answered.

At this news, Rudolf was somewhat surprised, “They are in Country P too?”

“Mhm,” Susan nodded.

Hearing this, Rudolf became even more surprised.

It seemed he hadn’t expected that Harlan Lentz and Eleanor Armstrong would still be in the mood for leisure.

If he had a good-for-nothing son, he definitely wouldn’t feel like having fun.

Eleanor and Harlan really knew how to let loose.

Rudolf continued, “How is their third son doing now? Any better?”

“The same.”

Rudolf chuckled, “Then they really have a good attitude.”

Susan also covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, “You can say that again!”

Just then, Hobar came over with Mary Charles, “Dad, Mom.”

Mary Charles greeted them politely, “Hello Uncle, Aunt.”

Susan grasped Mary Charles’s hand, “Mary, long time no see.”

Mary Charles replied with a smile, “Indeed, it’s been a while.”

She wasn’t very fluent in the language of the Sinian Country, so she could only have simple exchanges with Rudolf and his wife.

Hobar then said, “Mom, Dad, Mary’s parents are somewhat acquainted with Miss Thompson, and she is just over there. Would you like to go and greet her?”

Susan wouldn’t miss this opportunity and immediately nodded, “Let’s go!”

Who wouldn’t want to be connected to Viola Thompson?

After all, she was a person who would go down in history.

Hobar led his parents over and introduced Miss Thompson in a lowered voice.

Susan exclaimed, “She’s so beautiful!”

A mere glimpse from afar made her feel as if she was disturbing the peace of a beauty. It really made her wonder how Eleanor could boast that Viola was her daughter-in-law.

It was also Hobar’s first time seeing Viola, and his eyes couldn’t hide his admiration.

However, his admiration was mostly for her talents.

Susan then asked, “By the way, have Harlan and Eleanor arrived?”

Hobar nodded, “Aunt Eleanor seems to be over there.”

Susan turned to look and indeed saw Eleanor, and then said with a smile, “You go greet Miss Thompson first, I’ll go find Eleanor.”

Eleanor claimed she was Viola’s mother-in-law, right?

Now that the lady herself was here, Susan really wanted to see how Eleanor would navigate around this falsehood.

Hobar of course knew what his mother was thinking and said, “Mom, let it be.”

Susan retorted, “Let it be? Eleanor has been domineering for a lifetime, always trying to outdo me; why should I just let it be?”

She had no intention of letting it go!

Hobar, out of options, could only let his mother go find Eleanor.

Rudolf curiously asked, “What’s going on with your mom and your Aunt Eleanor?”

Hobar explained the situation.

Hearing this, Rudolf laughed, “No wonder your mom is so upset.”

There’s a limit to how much you can boast.

If Viola was to find out that Eleanor was using this for bragging rights, the Lentz Clan would be done for!

Meanwhile.

Susan approached Eleanor, feigning surprise and covering her mouth, “Eleanor! You’re here too!” This time, Susan didn’t even bother to call her Mrs. Lentz.

“Susan,” Eleanor smiled and turned around.

Susan walked up to her and continued, “I didn’t expect to see you at the bonfire Banquet.”

Before Eleanor could reply, Susan continued, “Oh, Eleanor, did you know? Miss Thompson is here tonight as well.”

“Which Miss Thompson?” Eleanor didn’t react immediately.

Susan scoffed inwardly, “The fiancee of your third son, of course!”

At this, Eleanor was truly surprised, “Really?”

She only knew Viola had arrived in Country P for official business the previous night.

She wasn’t aware that Viola was attending the bonfire Banquet too.

Susan nodded, “Of course, it’s true. Miss Thompson is right over there; let’s go, I’ll take you to her.”

Without waiting for Eleanor to agree, Susan pulled her towards Viola.

She was eagerly anticipating Eleanor’s embarrassment.

Savoring the schadenfreude, Susan said, “Eleanor, you’re really lucky. It’s all up to you to introduce me to Miss Thompson today.”

With that, they arrived at the center of the banquet hall.

Holding Eleanor’s hand, Susan called out to Viola’s silhouette, “Miss Thompson!”

At the call, Viola Thompson turned slightly, and seeing Eleanor, she too was very surprised.

Before Viola could speak, Susan continued, “Miss Thompson, I heard that you are Mrs. Lentz’s daughter-in-law-to-be.”

Viola put down her wine glass and approached them, “Auntie!”
