Chapter 290

Chapter 290:
Hailee gave a small shake of her head. “No need.” She held up her invitation, her grip steady. “I’ve got it from here.”
Even with the anxiety twisting inside her, Hailee remembered the promise she’d made—to Elliana, and to herself. She wouldn’t back down. Walking into a banquet hall that held the people who had nearly shattered her wasn’t easy. But this? This was her beginning. “Thank you, Paulina. I’ll see you later.” With that, Hailee gathered the hem of her gown and stepped out into the night.
Every inch of Hailee was wrapped in Rosa’s signature design, and it didn’t go unnoticed. The security detail stationed at the entrance straightened at once. “Miss, may I see your invitation?” Hailee handed it over without hesitation.
The guard glanced at the card and then bowed slightly. “Welcome, ma’am. Please, this way.”
No questions. No resistance. No delay. Hailee walked forward, her silence speaking louder than words, ushered inside like someone who belonged.
Within the grand hall, Boris and Hester had already taken center stage, guided there by the event’s poised emcee.
Dressed in a flawless, tailor-fitted white suit, Boris looked every bit the polished gentleman, while Hester shimmered beside him in an elegant white gown, diamonds cascading from her neckline to her crown—an image of wealth and sophistication.
Praise flowed freely from every direction, voices rising in admiration. “Hester looks breathtaking!”
“And Boris—so dashing! They really are the picture of a perfect couple!”
“With the Evans family backing the Craig family and the Sampson family dominating Ublento’s pharmaceutical sector, this alliance is practically legendary.”
“They didn’t just look the part—they actually fell in love on their own. This isn’t just an arrangement. It’s the real deal.” Get full chapters from.net

With a confident smile, Boris took the mic from the emcee, his eyes sweeping across the room. “Thank you all for being here tonight, to witness this moment of joy with us…”
The crowd responded with spirited applause, their cheers echoing beneath the ornate ceiling.
Standing closest to the stage, the Sampsons and Craigs basked in the spotlight, their faces glowing with pride as they took in the applause and adoration surrounding the couple.
Trinity made her way toward the front, carefully guiding Bonnie to the edge of the stage.
Because Trinity was mentored by Murray, who introduced her to “Milena,” thus supposedly earning her the approval of “Milena,” her future in medicine had quickly become something to watch. The Craig family was particularly grateful to Murray.
“We’re so grateful, Mr. Sampson. You’ve done so much for Trinity. I truly don’t know how to thank you,” Trinity’s mother, Joslyn Craig, said with a warm, glowing smile.
Trinity’s father, Norwood Craig, quickly added, “Trinity is still so young, yet her achievements in medicine are remarkable. That she’s won over Milena speaks volumes. We owe it all to your guidance. You’ve done our family a great honor.”
Hearing the flurry of praise, Murray’s smile deepened with satisfaction. “Soon we’ll all be one family. No need for formalities.”
