The Cherished Pet of Nine Beast Husbands

Chapter 348 The Sapphire Gown

"Wow, this dress is absolutely stunning! I can't believe LOVE created something this exquisite. Which collection is it from?" Melinda exclaimed, her eyes wide with admiration. Before she could finish her thought, Zachary, standing beside her, chimed in, "Actually, this is a one-of-a-kind design made exclusively for one person." "Who?" Melinda looked up at Zachary, a hint of playful challenge in her eyes. "Who do you think deserves such an extraordinary gown?" "Chloe?" Melinda raised an eyebrow. "Of course. Only Ms. Lewis is worthy of such a breathtaking dress." Melinda glanced at Zachary, taking in the lawyer who stood just an inch shorter than her. She smiled slightly and said, "You lawyers certainly know how to use your words. Keep praising Chloe like that—I love hearing it." Zachary couldn't help but laugh at her remark. He picked up the gift box and brought it over to Chloe. "This dress was made especially for you by Mr. Rosewood," Zachary said with a raised eyebrow. "It's perfect for you." Chloe's gaze fell on the gown inside the box. It was a sapphire-blue dress that elegantly accentuated the wearer's silhouette. The skirt was embellished with delicate rhinestones, and one could easily imagine how dazzling the wearer would look under the spotlight. Eugene had designed it himself. How did he manage to get her measurements so perfectly? That was a question worth pondering. In any case, the dress was truly a sight to behold. As the day of the banquet celebration drew nearer, a young voice piped up from the doorway. "Mommy, if you wear such a beautiful dress to the celebration, do you think Arthur will cry from regret?" Chloe turned to see Robert leaning casually against the doorframe. Chloe let out a soft sigh. Robert's words reminded her that Lewis Group had sent invitations to all the prominent figures in the business world, including Myers Group. If Arthur had any sense, he probably wouldn't show up. But given his unpredictable behavior lately, he was likely to appear at the celebration anyway. Chloe glanced at the dress once more. This would be the first time she wore something so stunning. She wasn't particularly curious about how Arthur would react when he saw her—instead, she found herself wondering what Eugene would think. On the eve of the Lewis Group's celebration, invitations had been sent out for the grand event. The banquet was to be held at the most luxurious hotel in Capaville, and the news had already been widely covered by the media. Word had spread quickly about the Lewis Group's partnership with Cosmos Group. Everyone was curious about what had drawn the international giant to collaborate with Lewis Group. With an injection of fifty billion dollars in cooperation funds, Lewis Group had suddenly risen to top-tier status. Companies that had once looked down on them were now eagerly awaiting the chance to build connections at the celebration banquet. The Myers family had also received an invitation. Charles received it personally. At the same time, he learned that Scott planned to officially announce at the banquet that Chloe was the daughter of the Lewis family. When Charles saw Scott's decision, he couldn't help but scoff. What was the point of this now? If Chloe had truly cared about being recognized as a daughter of the Lewis family, she wouldn't have kept her identity hidden for so long. Charles stared at the invitation for a long time. Finally, he decided to attend the banquet in person. "Get the car ready," he instructed. "I'm heading back to the Myers Manor." Meanwhile, at Myers Manor, an intense emotional drama was unfolding. Despite Madilyn's strong objections, Arthur had gone ahead and married Jennifer, and the two had already obtained their marriage certificates. The two official documents lay on the table. Every time Madilyn glanced at them, her anger flared. "Madilyn, I'll be in your care from now on," Jennifer said softly, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes. Madilyn sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, glaring at Jennifer. She was utterly annoyed, but with Arthur present, she didn't want to confront this woman directly. More importantly, Jennifer had something on her—she didn't have the leverage to oppose her just yet. All she could do was swallow her pride. "Yeah," Madilyn replied curtly.Arthur turned to Jennifer and said calmly, "Jennifer, I'm entrusting this household to you from now on. Keep an eye on Jenarth's studies, and take good care of my mother. I'll be busy with company matters, so I'm counting on you to manage things here." Jennifer nodded gently. "Arthur, I'll do my best. Don't worry!" Arthur gave a slight nod, stood up, and bowed politely to Madilyn. "Mom, I'll leave the household matters to you. Jennifer will help share the responsibilities from now on. I have business to attend to at the company, so I'll take my leave."
