SWNOVELS Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Jade Hotel
"Are you not going to change into better ones?"
Seeing that Maria didn't even make an effort to dress properly for the date, Bill pointed at her appearance and urged her to
change her clothes.
Maria couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in protest.
"All of my clothes are like this.I don't think you'll find anything that will satisfy you even if I wear them all."
Hearing this, Bill sighed and turned to Vivian.He had no choice but to ask for her help.
"Vivian, can you please lend some of your dresses to Maria? She'll just borrow it for a day.Besides, you already have too many
of them."
"What? No way!"
Vivian instantly frowned as she strongly refused.She did have many beautiful dresses, and all of them were from famous brands.
In fact, some of them were even haute couture.
But there was no way that she would let Maria borrow those expensive dresses.
The moment Maria wore it, Vivian would never want to touch it again.
But upon realizing that her reaction was a bit over the top, Vivian immediately regained her composure.She then forced a smile
and said to Maria, "I'm not being narrow-minded, okay? But my dresses are tailor-made for me.So, even if I let you borrow them,
I don't think they will fit on you."
Being a popular actress that did a few online dramas now, Vivian was actually confident about her face and figure.
But while she was speaking, Vivian looked at Maria subconsciously.
After secretly comparing her overall looks with Maria's, she felt a little depressed.She didn't notice it earlier, but she was about
one inch or two shorter than Maria.
The pill that was even harder to swallow was when she realized that her figure was also inferior to Maria.
Luckily for Vivian, Maria was always cool and aloof.She didn't put much effort in her appearance and would just go with plain
shirts and jeans.
However, no matter how simple her clothes were, they weren't enough to hide her curvy figure.
Therefore, if Maria started wearing fancy dresses, it would definitely stun everyone.
Realizing this, Vivian suddenly felt like she didn't have that mature charm when compared to Maria.
Even she had to admit that her "sister" was easily prettier and hotter than she was.
Consumed by this thought, Vivian couldn't help clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.
A father would know his daughter better than anyone.
Even without Vivian saying the real reason why she didn't want to lend her dress to Maria, Bill already had a clear hunch.
At this time, he looked at his watch and found that it was almost the appointed time to meet Anthony.
Therefore, he thought that they should be on their way.
Bill dropped off the idea of Maria having to dress better for this occasion.
Despite being plain, she was a really good-looking girl.He was confident that Anthony wouldn't have any complaints about her.
With that, Bill let out a faint smile and said, "Forget it.You don't have to change your clothes.We'll be late if we don't go now."
Maria nodded and was also relieved.
If Bill still forced her to wear one of Vivian's fancy dresses, she would have to find excuses to refuse.
Of course, she found it to be such a drag.
Jade Hotel, the venue for their meeting, was a magnificent and pretty huge place.
When they got there, Bill and Maria sat down in the cafe in the lobby.
While drinking the coffee served to them, Bill started to feel a little nervous.
This was just supposed to be a leisure area in the hotel, but Bill already had an illusion that he was in a palace.
Initially, Bill didn't pay much attention to this date because he firmly believed that Anthony had lost his family's right of
inheritance.
Moreover, for someone who wouldn't be able to walk again, Bill thought that Anthony shouldn't be too picky with who his bride
was going to be.
With Maria's beauty, he should already be grateful to have her as his wife.
But as they were waiting for Anthony's arrival, Bill was utterly shocked by the grandeur of Jade Hotel.He thought he had a clear
grasp of the power of Wilson family, but he was sorely mistaken.
Now, he clearly remembered that they were still considered a humble family compared to the Wilsons.
Out of nowhere, Bill began to take this engagement seriously again.
Then, he let out an evident frown, blaming Anthony in his mind for being so careless.
If he hadn't lost his qualification for the inheritance, Vivian would be his wife, and they could gain an unthinkable amount of
benefits.
Bill would have been the father-in-law of the future master of the Wilson family.It was any father's dream.
"I have to go to the comfort room for a few minutes."
While Bill was in a daze, Maria suddenly stood up.
Although she was a bit panicky, she didn't show it on her face.
But it wasn't because of this date.She had a feeling that her narcolepsy might suddenly occur at any time.
Hence, she wanted to at least wash her face with cold water to keep herself awake.
"What? Now? Can't you just hold it in for a little while? Anthony will arrive at any minute.It's a bit disrespectful that you're not here
to greet him when he comes."
However, Maria started walking away, so he called out to her in discontentment, "This place is very big.Be careful not to get lost,
okay?"
On the other hand, Maria ignored him and didn't even turn her head.
Instead, she just went straight toward a certain direction.
Seeing this, Bill became curious.
It should be Maria's first time here in Jade Hotel.
So, why was she walking steadily as if she knew exactly where the comfort room was? Then, as he looked further into the
direction where Maria was going, his eyes opened wide.
There was a guidance mark that looked like a piece of artwork.
It indeed pointed out to the direction of the comfort room.
Did Maria already see this earlier?
