Chapter 239 A Glimpse of Starlight

Eliza’s hair had been professionally styled.

Back in school, she’d always worn it in a simple ponytail–never had it treated, never bothered with anything fancy.

“You look amazing!”

“Seriously, Ms. Cassandra, that dress is stunning! You look like you just walked out of a fairytale.”

“Who knew you’d clean up so well? You’re right up there with the top debutantes!”

Surrounded bypliments, Eliza couldn’t help feeling a little shy.

It was her first time ever wearing something this formal. Naturally, she felt a little awkward.

“Um… it’s not too much, is it?”

“No way! You look gorgeous!”

In her past life, Eliza had never really dressed up. And this time around, being reborn right before the SATS, she hadn’t had the time to focus on her looks either.

Now, staring at her reflection, she felt like she was looking at a stranger.

Her figure was curvy and bnced, her features delicate. The subtle makeup and styled hair brought a fresh, yful charm–yet there was a hint of sophistication, too.

Yeah… she really did look pretty good.

She wondered, just for a moment, what Nn would think if he saw her in this dress.

While she was lost in thought, Lily came rushing up the stairs. “It’s almost time! The driver’s already waiting

e on!”

“Alright.”

Eliza nodded.

With everyone escorting her, she climbed into the car.

But just as the vehicle pulled out of the Sue family estate, it suddenly stalled..

“That’s weird,” the driver muttered and quickly got out to check.

The moment he realized the car had broken down, his expression turned pale.

It had been running just fine earlier that afternoon. How had it suddenly broken down in just a few hours?

The driver’s heart sank.

Now what?

It was rush hour–there was no way he could ask Ms. Cassandra to catch a cab.

And if Tristan found out, he’d definitely break his legs.

“Are there no other cars avable?”

“I’ll have the garage check,” someone replied. “We had over thirty cars sent out today for our foreign guests.

I’m not sure if there’s one left that’s worthy of Miss Cassandra’s status.”

Just then, a sleek Maybach pulled up in front of them.

“Eliza, get in.”

The driver’s eyes lit up with relief at the sight of such a high–end car.

Crisis averted.

And sitting in the driver’s seat–none other than Nn.

Eliza hadn’t expected him to arrive so soon.

“Okay.”

She agreed without hesitation and got in the car.

The moment Nn sat beside her, she felt inexplicably at ease.

“When did you get here?”

“Just now,” he replied. “Luckily, I wasn’t toote.”

His flight had justnded. The moment he touched down, he’d headed straight for Crown Hotel.

And by some twist of fate, he’d spotted Eliza on the way.

Even from afar, he could see her–the flowing gown, the glow under the moonlight, like a goddess emerging from the waves.

“Eliza.”

“Yeah?”

Before she could say anything else, Nn kissed her.

It was just a light brush of the lips, but her face turned bright red.

“Don’t let anyone steal you away tonight.”

His eyes were full of ernotion.

“Who’s going to steal me?”

“You already agreed to the arrangement overseas.”

“I only agreed to acknowledge them as my parents. I never said I’d stay overseas.”

Nn reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her car. “Silly girl.

The car pulled up outside Crown Hotel.

Eliza stepped out–and immediately became the center of attention.

Luxury cars were lined up outside, but all eyes turned to her.

Guests exiting their cars couldn’t help but stare.

d in herke–blue gown, Eliza shimmered under the moonlight like a constetion–dazzling and unforgettable.

“Who is that? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”

“No idea. Maybe she’s some foreign aristocrat?”

Even the cameras from nearby reporters turned to her.

She was simply too breathtaking. Tonight, she shone like the brightest star.

sh after sh went off in her direction.

Just moments ago, a few reporters had been praising Tracy for her poise and elegance.

But when they all suddenly rushed away, the smile on Tracy’s face faltered.

Zayden had also turned his gaze toward themotion.

Eliza slowly made her way into the hotel.

Zayden remembered–Eliza had never been one to wear heels.

The only time she’d ever worn a dress was at the school’s New Year’s party.

And even then, she hadn’t looked this polished, this radiant.

He found himself staring,pletely dazed.
