A sly smile ford under her veil as an idea ford in her mind.
"They don’t know what Dawn really looks like," she thought.
"They only know she’s a woman wearing a veil. That could be anyone... including ."
Her heart pounded with excitent.
If she played this right, she could walk away with a car, a villa, and maybe even so cash. All she had to do was pretend to be Dawn.
Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her veil and smoothed out her dress.
She stood at the edge of the lobby, waiting for the group of n to finish their conversation.
She casually pulled out her phone and pretended to talk, making sure her voice was just loud enough for them to overhear.
As she slowly walked past them, she whispered just loud enough for their ears:
"I’ll keep my identity hidden. No one knows that I am Dawn and my real na is Nora Allen."
Noticing their eyes suddenly fixed on her, she smirked under her veil and continued speaking, making it seem like she was talking to soone on the phone.
"I’ll test the people at the banquet hall. If anyone makes happy, I won’t invest—I’ll just give them money directly."
The n’s eyes widened.
This was a golden opportunity!
They exchanged glances, excitent flashing in their expressions.
Nora, playing her role perfectly, let out a soft chuckle.
"I already hired soone to impersonate . I’ll stay on the sidelines and watch how everyone truly behaves."
In reality, she wasn’t trying to test anyone—this was just a trick to keep Harry and his friends from realizing the truth.
Harry and his friends—Ethan, Miles, Zain and Ben—imdiately perked up. Their eyes locked onto Nora’s dress, which was a stunning shade of red. Seeing her curvy figure, they were srized.
"She must be Dawn!" Ethan whispered excitedly.
"She’s rich, mysterious, and testing us? This is our chance!" Ben added, gripping his drink tightly.
Just as they were about to approach, they heard Nora’s next words.
"The person who gifts the most will receive double the money from as a friendship gift."
With that, Nora gracefully walked away, never sparing them a single glance.
Harry and his friends practically trembled with excitent.
"I need to get her attention!" Miles muttered.
"I’ll buy her the most expensive necklace in the city!" Ethan declared.
"I’ll offer her a private jet!" Ben boasted.
However, not everyone was thrilled. Zain, one of Harry’s friends, remained silent, his brows furrowed.
His company was new, and he barely had any money.
He couldn’t compete with his friends’ expensive gifts.
Then, an idea struck him.
A sly smile spread across his face as he adjusted his suit.
"I have sothing important to attend to," he told the others before slipping away into the banquet hall.
Zain scanned the room until he spotted Jasper chatting with a group of elegantly dressed won.
Taking a deep breath, Zain walked straight toward him. "Jasper," he said confidently,
"I have information about Dawn. If you want it, you need to pay $1 million."
Jasper, who was sipping his drink, paused mid-motion. His sharp eyes locked onto Zain, scanning him up and down.
Normally, people like Zain wouldn’t dare approach soone of his status.
But Jasper was in a difficult situation—he had spent a fortune trying to suppress Alex and now desperately needed $60 million.
Finding Dawn was his only way out.
Jasper’s gaze burned into Zain’s, searching for any sign of a lie. "Are you telling the truth?"
Zain smirked and nodded confidently.
"Of course. This information is worth much more than $1 million, but I like quick deals. Take it or leave it."
Jasper didn’t hesitate for long. He quickly took out his phone, transferred $1 million to Zain, and said, "Now talk."
Zain leaned in and whispered,
"Dawn is already here. She’s wearing a red dress and a veil, testing people. Also, she has asked soone to impersonate her. So don’t be misled."
He had been looking for Dawn for weeks.
If what Zain said was true, this was his golden opportunity.
But the idea of an imposter lurking around made his jaw tighten.
How smart is Dawn!
"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Jasper asked, his voice low and steady.
Zain smirked.
"Why would I lie? You know how hard it is to even get close to her. I saw her with my own eyes."
Jasper glanced at his phone, confirming the transfer had gone through. Then, he downed the rest of his drink and set the glass down with a decisive thud.
"I need to see this for myself," he murmured.
Without another word, he turned and strode toward the main banquet hall, leaving Zain behind with a satisfied smirk.
One million dollars for a few words—Zain considered that a pretty good deal.
Soon he sold the sa information to other businessn and earned $5 million.
anwhile, inside the banquet hall, Nora stood near a lavishly decorated table, sipping a glass of champagne.
She could already feel eyes on her—Harry and his friends, watching her every move.
She tilted her head slightly, pretending to admire the chandeliers, but in reality, she was listening carefully.
Ethan whispered, "She’s not even looking at us. We need to make a move now."
Miles nodded. "We need sothing grand. Sothing she can’t ignore."
Ben smirked.
"I already placed an order for a rare diamond bracelet. It should be here any minute."
Harry chuckled.
"Nice, but I’m thinking bigger. I’ll offer her a villa—one with a private beach. That’ll definitely catch her attention."
Then, a new presence entered the hall—Jasper.
His sharp eyes scanned the room until they landed on Nora.
The mont he saw her red dress and elegant posture, his gaze darkened with determination.
"She’s the one," he muttered.
Nora, feeling his intense stare, smirked slightly under her veil. She recognized power when she saw it.
Unlike Harry and his friends, Jasper had the aura of soone who didn’t waste ti on foolish gas.
Her main target!
