Chapter 1957


    Thank goodness for live streaming.


    The online crowd erupted in heated debate, withments flying across the screen faster than the eye


    could follow.


    "Man, that girl is drop-dead gorgeous. ''A beauty beyondpare'' is an understatement!"


    "Does anyone know who she is? How did she get the five esteemed Collins boys and Romeo to bend


    over backward for her, quite literally."


    "Isn''t that the ne Shirley left for her granddaughter-inw, and the one Mrs. McMillian passed


    down to her daughter-inw? Could she be Romeo''s fiancée?"


    "But if she''s Romeo''s fiancée, where does that leave Serena??"


    "Such a grand event today, and no sign of Serena? Where is she?"


    "Yeah, where did Serena go?"


    "What on earth is going on? Could there have been a switch in fiancées?"


    "No way! If there was a new fiancée, would both families be getting along like this?"


    "To book an entire luxury hotel for the Collins family on New Year''s Day so they can hold a press


    conference shows the families are close. But why are all the Collins brothers and Romeo bending over


    to lift this girl''s dress? That gesture is a clear sign of deference!"


    Everyone was baffled by the situation, and the buzz had already crashed several social media


    tforms multiple times.


    When the media on-site and the photographers snapped out of their daze, all they caught was their


    retreating figures entering the hotel.


    shes kept going off as all the reporters swarmed in pursuit, but they were a step toote.


    Arabe, d in an exquisite gown, entered the elevator, her elegant updo giving off an ethereal vibe,


    as if she were a celestial being untouched by worldly matters. Romeo and her five brothers lifted her


    gown''s hem, escorting her into the elevator.


    Outside the hotel, a parade of movers and shakers from various industries followed suit – some were


    rtives and friends of the Collins family, others belonged to Louisa''s side of the family, and then there


    were Arabe''s own friends and trusted associates.


    Once everyone had arrived, the media was finally invited to the banquet hall. Unseen was the fairy-tale


    world that unfolded before their eyes.


    A vast canopy of twinkling stars, spheres from the Milky Way, and glittering stars served as blessings,


    while luminescent, fluttering butterflies could be seen everywhere. An array of flowersbined to


    create grand visuals, and swathes of white lights constructed a castle.


    The scattered starlight and the lunar haze gave the illusion of stepping into the most beautiful, pure,


    and romantic dreams of a young girl.


    The media and photographers feverishly captured the scene.


    The Collins family had outdone themselves, hosting two hundred tables for some sixteen hundred


    guests – aside from the hundred-plus reporters and handful of photographers, everyone else was


    connected to the Collins and McMillian families or to Arabe herself.


    The lights dimmed, highlighting Keh and Louisa as they rose and walked down a luminescent path,


    nked by tables, towards the dreamlike circr stage at the far end, with the white castle and


    fantastical stars as their backdrop.


    Keh, visibly moved, took the microphone, his eyes surveying the gathered crowd.


    "First off, I want to express my gratitude to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to


    attend this press conference hosted by the Collins family. We invited you here today because we have


    a major announcement to make."


    Louisa stood poised on the stage, dering, "I, Louisa, along with Keh, am thrilled to announce


    that Arabe Collins, our daughter who was lost to us for eighteen years, was found and returned to us


    six months ago."


    With those words, the entire assembly was taken aback, and even the media didn''t miss a beat,


    snapping away at this explosive revtion.


    They had a daughter who''d been lost?


    When did this happen, and why was it only being announced now?

    "Be,e up here," Louisa beckoned with a loving smile, her eyes soft with maternal affection and


    tenderness.


    The spotlight found Arabe, her features as perfect as a painting, exuding an air of cool elegance and


    an otherworldly charm that was both high-ss and captivating.
