Chapter 107: Ultimate Face-Slapping "My princess..." Selinaâs cheeks flushed red.
The socialites in the room collectively held their breath, torn between envy and admiration.
Kevin was gifting the wedding dress to Miss Clark, Logan had personally escorted him, and he had just called her princess... It was too perfect!
But waitâthere were two people with the last name Clark here. Was it Selina... or Natalia?
Suddenly, Jillianâs eyes widened in excitement. She spun around, practically shouting, "I got it!"
"Natalia! It must be Ryan! Ryan said he had everything preparedâthis must be his surprise for you!"
Selina raised an eyebrow.
Zoey quickly caught on, her face lighting up with joy. "Yes! My brother is close with Kevin, this must have been arranged by him!"
Everyone hesitated for a moment.
Was this wedding dress really for Natalia?
But this wasnât just any gownâit was Frostfall, an even grander masterpiece than Galaxy River!
"Iâm so jealous. Kevin put his heart and soul into this design... I can only imagine how breathtaking it would look on someone."
"And Logan personally came to deliver it? Natalia must be incredibly special!"
"Then maybe Natalia really wasnât trying to steal Selinaâs wedding dress. It was just a misunderstanding."
"Exactly! I mean, who would fight over Galaxy River when they have Frostfall?"
Jillian smirked, seizing the opportunity to sneer. "Mr. Reid personally delivering a wedding dressâonly Natalia deserves such an honor! And some people... even if they manage to beg for a dress through connections, what does it matter? Theyâll still be overshadowed by Natalia in the end."
Sean nodded in agreement. "I originally thought my mentor was reserving Galaxy River for Natalia, but it turns out he meant to give her something even granderâFrostfall!"
"Natalia, a gown like this is made for you. As for certain troublemakers, my mentor wonât let them off easy."
Nataliaâs heart swelled with pride.
And Logan... Logan still hadnât spoken up for Selina. That only proved what Grandpa had saidâLogan didnât actually care about her. She was just entertainment.
With that thought, Nataliaâs lips curled into a delicate, bashful smile.
"Aunt Carter, Mr. White, please donât say that," she said with false modesty. "Sister was just being a little impulsive. She didnât actually mean to upset me. And since Mr. Reid is here, letâs not embarrass her."
Selina met Loganâs gaze and blinked slowly.
Natalia really never learned, did she?
She wasnât even worried about getting slapped in the face.
Just as Natalia was basking in the admiration, the doors swung open, and a tall man entered. His posture was upright, his features sharp and cold, his gaze like a blade.
Kevinâs expression was indifferent as he got straight to the point.
"This wedding dress took me four years to createâan immense effort of passion and craftsmanship."
As he finished speaking, his assistant pushed in a gown rack, wheeling it forward at a steady pace.
Everyone turned to lookâ
And gasped in awe.
The gown was breathtaking. A pure white masterpiece adorned with delicate snowflake embroidery, its intricate floral patterns stretched out like frost-
covered branches, exuding both an ethereal chill and an untouchable elegance.
Wearing it would be like descending from the heavens, wrapped in a snowfall of beautyâradiant and regal.
Kevinâs expression didnât waver. "I specifically invited Mr. Reid today to bear witness, as I present this gown to one special person."
Logan smirked slightly, amusement flashing in his gaze.
In an instant, all eyes turned to Natalia, filled with admiration.
"Natalia, Kevin is really spoiling you. Iâm so jealous!"
"How could Selina ever compare? You are the one who deserves to wear Frostfall!"
Selina idly twirled a strand of hair around her finger, letting out a soft chuckle.
Natalia, seeing the awed gazes around her, felt her vanity swell to the point of bursting. She trembled with excitement, barely able to contain herself.
"Thank you, Mr. Turner. Iâm truly honored..."
I did it!
Selina was nothing. Natalia had finally crushed her beneath her feet!
Soon, she would walk down the aisle in Kevinâs gown, becoming the prestigious Mrs. Carter!
And Selina?
She could only stand there, looking up at her in envy, with absolutely nothing to her name.
A bastard child? A mistressâs daughter?
None of it mattered.
Because once Natalia succeeded, no one would ever remember Selina.
Natalia couldnât contain her excitement and eagerly reached out to take the wedding dressâ
But just then, Kevin took a step back.
Natalia froze, her voice soft and sweet. "Mr. Turner, whatâs wrong? Didnât you ask me to try it on?"
"Are you worried itâll be inconvenient for me to change alone? Donât worry, Iâve been attending high-society events since I was a childâIâm used to it..."
"Who are you? Who gave you permission to touch my wedding dress?" Kevin interrupted coldly, his expression completely devoid of emotion.
...
An eerie silence fell over the room.
Everyone was stunned.
Nataliaâs face paled slightlyâKevin didnât recognize her?
Who else besides her could possibly be the Miss Clark meant to wear such an extravagant wedding gown?
Selina? No, noâimpossible.
Forcing herself to stay calm, Natalia managed a smile. "Mr. Turner, what are you saying? Maybe you havenât met me before, but Iâm Nataliaâ"
Before she could finish, Kevin once again cut her off, utterly indifferent.
"Natalia? Who is that? Since when can just any stray cat or dog impersonate my distinguished guest?"
A collective gasp swept through the crowd.
WaitâKevin wasnât joking?
He really didnât know who Natalia was?!
Nataliaâs stomach dropped. The color drained from her face, her panic barely concealed behind a forced smile.
"But... but wasnât this wedding dress sent to me by the Carter Familyâ"
"Sent to you?" Kevin let out a mocking laugh.
"Frostfall was a gown I was commissioned to design four years ago as a coming-of-age gift for Miss Selina Clarkâs eighteenth birthday. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, it was delayed."
His gaze swept over Natalia with open ridicule, his brow arched as he asked, "Or... are you Selina?"
Are you Selina?
The entire room fell into stunned silence.
Four years ago, Selina had turned eighteenâperfectly aligning with the timeline of the gownâs commission!
This wasnât Nataliaâs wedding dress.

ï¤Chapter 106: An Eye for an Eye It was a gift meant for Selina.
Natalia felt as if something had lodged in her throat. Her once-delicate expression twisted into something ghastly, her voice almost breaking. "What?!"
Kevin sneered. "Are you having trouble understanding? Mr. Reid, did you fail to explain properly? How did this bastard daughter get the wrong idea?"
Logan stood casually with his arms crossed, leaning slightly against the wall.
"I didnât expect it either," he said lazily. "Even with me standing right here, Miss Natalia still managed to delude herself."
The weight of those words crushed Nataliaâs chest like a thousand-pound stone, making it hard to breathe.
...Deluded herself? How could this be Selinaâs?!
The guests exchanged looks, stunned.
Moments ago, Natalia had loudly declared that Selina was unworthy of such a prestigious wedding dress.
And yet, Kevinâs words had just slapped her across the face.
"No, I donât believe this...!" Zoey was the first to object. "There must be some mistake! Selina is just a low-class country bumpkin! The only thing she knows how to do is seduce men!"
"So what youâre saying, Miss Carter," Logan drawled, a cold sneer playing on his lips, "is that Kevin and I intentionally took Nataliaâs wedding dress and gave it to Selina?"
His sharp gaze suddenly lifted, and his voice, now hoarse and chilling, cut her off completely.
Zoey shrank back immediately. "IâI didnât meanâ"
But Logan didnât give her a chance to finish, his aura suffocating.
"Or are you suggesting that Selina seduced me?"
