Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

65



Zoe’s eyes slightly deepened.

She was silent for a moment, and she then said in a grim tone, “Isn’t that even better? It’s been five years, and I didn’t want to pursue it anymore. But if someone has to provoke me in my face and make troubles to me, I shouldn’t just let them off, should I?”

Victoria was stunned.

“Zo, have you thought of a way to deal with them?”

Zoe curled her lips.

“You’ll see.”

Time flew, and a week passed quickly.

Christmas was in two days. Henry looked at the scarf hanging on the shelf in the his office in

Han Group and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

He dialed the internal line and called Brian in.

“Mr. Han, you need me?”

“Have you finished what I have asked you to do for me?”

Brian was stunned and then quickly understood what he meant.

“It’s all done,” he replied hurriedly.

“Well, take me to have a look after work.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, Mr. Han.”

After a short pause, Brian suddenly thought of something and took out an invitation from his pocket.

“Mr. Han, this is an invitation from the Riverside High School. It’s about to celebrate its 70th anniversary this weekend. They would like to invite you for the anniversary party. Will you go?”

Henry was slightly shocked.

The name of the school sounded familiar to him.

Brian hurriedly reminded him, “Mrs. Han went to this school before.”

Henry finally remembered that this seemed to be the case.

Yet he remained expressionless. “Is she going?”

“I believe she is.”

“Then I will go too!”

“Yes, Mr. Han.”

In the evening, when Zoe returned home and came out from her bath, Henry asked, “I heard that you are going to the anniversary party of your high school the day after tomorrow.”

Zoe looked back and saw him sitting on the sofa. She nodded, “Yes, why?”

The man’s gaze seemed slightly bitter.

“It is Christmas the day after tomorrow.”

Zoe froze.

Somewhat bewildered, she pointed to the scarf he had been wearing almost every day for the past week on a coat hanger. “Didn’t I give you the present?”

Henry did not answer.

He felt hurt.

But he decided to struggle a bit more.

“Well, so I will return the favor. Shall we have dinner that night?”

“No, I made an appointment with Victoria, and we need to go to the school anniversary after dinner!”

Henry was then completely speechless.

‘Forget it. I give up.

On the weekend, Zoe got up very early.

She was not in a hurry, but she needed to deal with business of Star Entertainment. She had to seize the time so that she could have the time for the anniversary party.

When she finished all her work, it was three in the afternoon.

Victoria had called her several times.

She picked up the phone, “Victoria, I have already finished my work, and now I am on my way. Wait a moment, OK?”

Victoria was dissatisfied, “I have been waiting for you for two hours, my dear Zoe. It is the school anniversary. Since you have promised to go, can you take it seriously? Not for the sake of the reputation of the school, but for that you can

look amazing in the party! Why don’t you even dress up a little beforehand?”

Zoe laughed, “I still have three hours.”

“My god!” Victoria was like hearing a joke, “You need to try on your dress, put on makeup, and style your hair! Three hours are not enough! I’ve been working on it for two hours, okay?”

Zoe smiled, “That’s just because you are a celebrity who’s taking part in the performance in the evening. I am just part of the audience sitting there applauding you. I don’t need to dress up.”

Victoria urged impatiently, “OK, I don’t care if you dress up. Hurry over. I have been waiting for you here for a long time.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

When she arrived at the studio where Victoria did the make-up, Zoe saw her sitting there. Her hair had been done and she was having her

makeup done.

Seeing her here, Victoria hurriedly said, “Now, you must listen to me today! You wear whatever I tell you to wear, and you put on whatever makeup I tell you to put on, without any objection or comment.”

Zoe didn’t even have the chance to say anything.

Before she answered, two stylists came over.

Victoria pointed at Zoe and gave them orders.

“That’s her, my best friend. You must dress her up today. If anyone outdoes her tonight, it means you have a problem with your skills, and I’ll fire you all!”

The stylists agreed hurriedly.

Zoe was confused.

“Victoria, what are you doing here?”

Victoria gave her a mysterious smile.

“Zo! You see? How nice am I to you! Don’t those bitches look down on you and want to make fun of you? I just won’t let them! Tonight, you must be the most beautiful woman in the whole party!”

She said, reaching out to tease Zoe.

Zoe couldn’t help laughing.

“Ok! I will just do what you say.”

She knew Victoria was doing all these for her. Besides, she had no plan to keep her head low tonight, so she just let Victoria do as she wanted to.

Three hours later, both of them were ready.

What the stylists picked for Zoe was a sky-blue handmade embroidered long skirt.

It was a tube-top dress, and the chest, neck, and half of the arm were made of tulle. On top were hand-drawn floral designs inlaid with tiny diamonds that shimmered and glittered.

The lower part of the dress used a fishtail design. From the chest to the thighs was a large blue ocean, but when it reached the calves, it turned into a transparent mesh that looked like stars that spread all the way to the hem. It was also full of hand-embroidered patterns that made it so that whoever looked at it could not help but admire the ingenious workmanship.

Zoe naturally had a good figure shape, but Victoria only found that today.

This fishtail dress really brought out all her curves and lines.

Putting aside the curve on her bottom, her back was slender and straight, and her waistline were also highlighted with a different kind of sexiness because of the open-back design.

In Victoria’s words, that was just gorgeous!

Zoe looked at herself in the mirror, and also felt entranced for a moment.

You could really make a huge difference with a little bit of dressing up.

The stylists then picked a pair of silver high heels for her, paired with a handbag and a set of jewelry, which made her more bright and charming.

Victoria nodded her head and said, “Zoe, you will certainly overwhelm the people there tonight, I promise!”

Zoe smiled.

She did not care about overwhelming the people there, but thought that since even she was invited, someone should also show up in the anniversary party!

Those people had wrung their fingers every day hoping that she would have a bad life, but how could she just let them do as they pleased?
