Chapter 56 Did You Dress Like This To Go Clubbing?
Tonightâs charity dinner was fully organized by the Carrington family. They claimed to donate ten
percent of the auction price to charity, but everyone knew their true intentions. The Carrington family
had some financial difficulties recently and planned to sell some things to raise cash.
The people in the circle kept silent about it. Jaxon was known for his intelligence and had a passion for
online shopping since he was young. The Carrington family had many treasures hidden inside.
It was rare for Jaxon to be so generous this time. Naturally, everyone came after receiving the letter.
Even those who didnât have money
a look at th wanted to come and take a look at the collection. It was reported that the Schmittâs house
was up for auction.
Peyton and Kadence were running out of time. Kadence stuck her head out of the car window. âIâll park
the car and come up. You go ahead and wait for me. Save me a seat up front.
âOkay.â
Kadence had never attended such a party before and thought it was like attending a class in college
where she needed to reserve a spot. The seating arrangements for such occasions were preâ
arranged.
There are two ways to generally divide positions. The first is to arrange them according to social status.
The second is to rely on charitable -funds.
Exactly, Peyton had arranged for Kadence to handle the donation in advance, so she also had a place.
You canât just sit wherever you want.
But Peyton had forgotten one thing. As soon as Peyton arrived at the door, they were stopped.
âMiss, do you have an invitation letter?â
It wasnât that the security guard wanted to give Peyton a hard time, but who comes here without
wearing formal attire? Who shows up
wearing just a down jacket? And you could even see a couple of feathers sticking out.
Peyton calmly said, âAt my friendâs place.
âSorry, miss. You had to wait for your friend to come before going in together.â
This kind of occasion was already quite private, and Peyton could understand the securityâs
responsibility.
The guests who entered all gave her a glance, Peyton stood straight with composure and calmness.
Just then, Grace appeared with Helena. Peyton could hear Graceâs voice from afar. âHelena, I saw that
dress in the interview. I heard that there were a total of 3,650 real diamonds embedded on it, each
representing Mr. Daltonâs love for you. I envy your love like this.â
Peytonâs nails dug deep into the palm of her hand. She didnât even feel the pain. She had always
thought that the Starry Dress was designed by Nolan for her, and that he had embedded so many real
diamonds for the style. Now she knew it was to commemorate him and Helena.
Nolan had been admiring Helena for ten years.
Helena was surrounded by several women dressed up in a flashy manner. They locked eyes with each
other. Helena coldly averted her gaze.
Helena didnât want to have any involvement with Peyton, in case people found out about Peytonâs past
with Nolan.
Grace didnât think so. That day at the dinner party, Peyton made everyone unhappy. Grace had been
waiting for the Schmitt family to go bankrupt and had also befriended Helena, so she didnât care about
Peyton at all.
âIsnât this our genius? Why did you come dressed like this? I saw you from far away and thought you
were a homeless person.
At that moment, the security guard spoke out of turn, âMrs. Dalton, do you know this young lady? She
didnât bring an invitation. If you know her, you can go in together.
Helena coldly replied, âNo.â
Grace took the opportunity to add insult to injury and instructed the security guard, âYou better be
careful. Donât let any poor people sneak in. Itâs almost the end of this year. They might be so poor that
they want to sneak in and steal something. If there is any loss, you canât afford to compensate.
The security guard nodded repeatedly at them. âYes. Thank you for reminding me.â
A group of people entered with rolled eyes. The security guard was about to urge Peyton to leave when
Lucian, who was smoking outside, saw the scene and quickly intervened.
The security guard quickly let Peyton in.
âMs. Schmitt, I escorted you in,â Lucian maintained his respectful demeanor towards her.
âNo, thank you. I was waiting for my friend. She arrived.
Peyton saw a woman wearing a red mink coat from far away, looking like a flamingo. Kadence was
also wearing nude stockings and high heels underneath.
Peyton suddenly didnât want to admit knowing Kadence anymore. Peyton didnât expect Kadence to
arrive late, changing clothes in the
car.
Kadence drifted over with a fragrant breeze. She was still wearing her exaggerated sunglasses. Peyton
turned and walked away. âNo, I mistook you for someone else. Iâll go in first.
âPeytie, wait for me!â
Kadence walked up to Lucian in high heels, took off her sunglasses and glared at him. âDid you make
Peytie angry again?â
Lucian never commented on womenâs clothing, but at this momentâ¦
âDid you think Treasure Hotel was a nightclub? Were you dressed like that to go dancing?â
Kadence had a fierce personality. She was already dissatisfied with Nolan, and seeing Lucian made
her even more unhappy.
âYou were going to die, and I was going to wear this to go bounce on your grave.
Lucian was also too lazy to argue with a woman. âCome in with me.
Kadence took out the invitation with a proud look on her face. âNo need, I have a spot.
As they were talking, Peyton had already gone upstairs. Kason used to like coming here too. He didnât
have many hobbies, but he enjoyed collecting antiques.
When he was wealthy, he bought a lot of antiques. No one knew that during his leisure time, Kason
would also make pottery and fire tea cups and bowls by himself.
He was such a man full of artistic and life atmosphere. If it werenât for the solid evidence, Peyton
couldnât imagine he would do such a crazy thing.
Peyton walked through the antique building. Along the way, Peyton saw the collections behind the
glass. Several of them were very familiar. They were the treasures that Kason had collected before.
One of the sculptures had a small tooth mark on it. It was when she was six years old and Kason joked
that there was candy inside, so she bit down hard. Her tooth almost fell out.
There was a small tooth mark on the sculpture, which made the whole sculpture more childlike and
lovely.
The beautiful memories of the past came to mind. Peytonâs eyes were a little warm. She was like a
child, leaning on the glass and not wanting to leave for a long time.
When she came to her senses and remembered the main purpose of her visit today, she turned around
and met Nolan who was also in front of the booth.
The black wool coat outlined his tall figure. His black pupils looked at her, like a black hole that couldnât
be seen to the end at a glance.
Nolan just glanced and then looked away.
âExcuse me.â Peyton passed by him with a cold expression. The two seemed to have no connection at
all.
Helena walked towards him with a smile on her face. âNolan, what brings you here?â
Grace cheered on the side, âOf course Nolan came for you. Helena, you and Mr. Dalton are really in
love. You havenât even gotten married yet, and he canât bear to be separated from you for a moment.
Grace suddenly spotted Peyton and grabbed her, asking, âHow did you sneak in? Where are the
security guards? How did they let her in?â
