The Heiress Revived from the Ashes Finished Chapter 129 Stepping Into the Light Andy froze for a moment , then shot the driver a fierce glare before huffing in frustration and slamming the car door shut .
With an exaggerated sigh , he flounced into the back seat .
The car glided smoothly onto the road , but the atmosphere inside remained a little tense .
Andy sat with his arms crossed , still sulking , sneaking occasional glances at Lauren from the corner of his eye .
Lauren forced a small smile as she felt slightly awkward under his scrutiny .
Josh could not help but interject , Andy , stop pouting and focus on your job .
Keeping Ms.
Bennetts makeup flawless is your top priority tonight .
Andy lifted his chin arrogantly .
Of course .
When I do makeup , its guaranteed to last through the entire event ! Lauren could not help but chuckle at his antics .
The tension in her heart eased .
She said softly , Andy , I really appreciate all your help today .
I wouldnt know what to do without you .
Hearing this , Andys stiff expression softened a little , the corners of his lips twitching upwards .
Still , he -maintained his air of superiority .
At least you have good taste and recognize my skills .
Just do as I say , and I guarantee youll be the most dazzling one at the banquet .
The car cruised along the highway as Lauren gazed out at the fleeting scenery , anticipation bubbling inside her .
The sleek black Phantom glided smoothly through the city streets , approaching the grand hotel before coming to a graceful stop at the entrance .
Its polished body reflected the shimmering lights around it , exuding understated luxury .
Curious eyes had already gathered even before the door opened .
The driver was the first to step out , walking with steady confidence as he made his way to the rear of the vehicle .
In one swift , practiced motion , he opened the door .
The first to emerge was Andy .
He swayed his slender waist as he stepped out with dramatic elegance , his every movement brimming with flair .
Though he wore an air of practiced indifference , his sparkling eyes betrayed his excitement .
His entrance alone had already drawn the attention of onlookers , but it was only a prelude .
Moments later , Josh rounded the car and extended his arm gracefully .
A delicate , slender hand , so fair and flawless that it looked almost ethereal , reached out and lightly rested on his arm .
The sight of such an exquisite hand caused the crowd to collectively hold their breath .
Who was the owner of this beautiful hand ? With all eyes locked in eager anticipation , Lauren stepped out of the car .
The golden sunlight poured down upon her , outlining her figure with a soft , dreamlike glow .
Her hair , styled in an elegant updo , had a few loose strands that danced gently against her fair neck in the breeze , adding a touch of playful charm .

The skirt cascaded down to the ground , rippling with her every step like flowing clouds at dusk .
Her brows were as delicate as distant mountains , her eyes clear and bright .
Beneath her refined nose , her lips , soft as rose petals , carried an almost ethereal beauty .
Her features were so exquisitely sculpted that she looked like a masterpiece .
Like an artwork brought to life .
The crowd was mesmerized .
Eyes widened .
Mouths slightly agape .
Expressions frozen in a mixture of awe and disbelief .
The once bustling hotel entrance fell into a stunned silence .
Not a single gaze could look away from Lauren .
As if time itself had stopped in that moment .
The driver , ever so careful , lifted the train of her gown to ensure not a single wrinkle disrupted its perfection .
A With a sense of reverence , the group made their way toward the hotel entrance .
And the eyes of everyone followed them , step by step .
Among the crowd , Laurens parents stood stiffly , their expressions shifting between shock and disbelief Laurens father glared at her , his face dark with barely concealed rage .
That wretched girl .
Of all times , of all places .
She just had to show up at Madam Kates grand banquet .
He had always known she was not as obedient as she pretended to be .
Back when he forced her to marry into the Brooker family , she had agreed in words , but her face had screamed reluctance , as if she were some virtuous martyr .
And now ? Now , she waltzed in dressed like a temptress , clearly desperate to climb her way up .
Was she trying to seduce the bossman of the Brooker family ? No.
Perhaps her ambitions stretched even further .
Perhaps she wanted to capture the attention of every elite bachelor at this banquet .
The audacity of this woman .
Meanwhile , Laurens mother had different thoughts .
She did not share her husbands burning anger , but she certainly was not pleased .
Her brows furrowed tightly as she stared at her daughter .
Ever since Lauren had left , Elliot had drowned himself in alcohol , drinking to the point of stomach ulcers .
And she , as his mother , had spent sleepless nights worrying and fearing that Lauren was struggling , suffering in the outside world .
But what now ? Not only was Lauren perfectly fine , but she had the gall to show up at the Brookers family event looking radiant and carefree .
