Soon enough, Natalie also made an appearance as the highlight of tonight.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Barnett.” As soon as Natalie arrived, she went up to greet Colin with elegance.
She was wearing a pure white dress and had her hair tied up into a cute bun, revealing her creamy, elegant neck.
No doubt about it. Natalie was extremely beautiful with an outstanding demeanor. In Flodes, she could be considered a rare beauty and the only one rumored to match Arya.
However, they’d never been on stage together before; thus, who was prettier remained debatable.
“Natalie, welcome.” Colin looked at Natalie, who was poised and graceful, with a warm smile. “Come in and have a seat.”
“Thanks, Mr. Barnett,” Natalie said gracefully and walked in with a composed demeanor.
Not long after, Malcolm arrived with Eloise.
Today, Eloise especially wore a pink Chanel dress for today, with well–done makeup and long hair hanging down to her waist, giving off a particularly sweet vibe.
“Grandpa! Dad! Mom!” said Malcolm, leading Eloise forward to greet them.
Eloise gracefully nodded along. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Barnett.”
Colin and Aiden just gave a slight nod.
Nora, on the other hand, was super friendly and grabbed Eloise’s hands. “Eloise, you’re here just in time! Grandma has a gift for you.”
“Thanks, Mrs. Barnett.” Eloise blushed and nodded immediately.
Just as she was about to follow Nora inside, a commotion broke out at the door,
Everyone turned to see who was coming–there was Arya, elegantly walking in, arm in arm with Finn.
Today, Arya wore a pure white limited edition gown, her big, wavy hair cascading down her waist. She looked both noble and cold, like a fairy who had accidentally wandered into the mortal world, captivating everyone’s gaze.
She was stunning! Like a bewitching little siren. No! Even all the beautiful words in the world couldn’t do her justice.
Beside her, Finn was dressed in a sharp suit, his natural kingly aura instantly overshadowing everyone present.
Standing together, they were the perfect match made in heaven.
Malcolm always knew Arya was beautiful. But seeing how radiant and alluring she was today, he couldn’t help but gulp.
When he saw Finn beside her, his face darkened even more.
He hadn’t forgotten how Finn had made him kneel/publicly at the Norrian Club last time.
‘One day, I’d pay it back hundredfold!‘ he swore inwardly.
Eloise noticed Malcolm’s gaze lingering on Arya. Her perfectly made–up face turned slightly sour, especially when she saw the handsome and outstanding Finn beside Arya,
Jealousy flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she spotted the dazzling Aurora on Arya’s right thumb, and her face went pale instantly.

‘The Aurora was actually in Arya’s possession? So, the one who bought it last time was Finn?‘ she thought.
The mere thought of Finn giving such an exquisite purple diamond to Arya sent Eloise’s heart into a fit of pangs.
But quickly, she took the initiative to approach Arya and Finn with a sweet smile. “Arya, how come you’re with Mr. Finn Barnett?”
On the surface, it seemed like concern, but it was actually a subtle reminder to everyone present.
Coming to his senses, Colin stormed up to Finn with an angry face. “Finn, today’s welcoming party is for you. Why did you bring an outsider along?” “She’s not an outsider.” Finn, dignified and aloof, cast a cool glance at Colin, his strong hand swiftly wrapping around Arya’s slender waist. “She’s my wife. We just got our marriage certificate today.”
