Brie stepped out of the car in her high heels as the crowd watched in anticipation.

She wore a black evening gown. It was cut close to her body, showing off her curvaceous figure. As she walked, her fair feet flitted in and

Someone couldn’t help but comment in a low voice. “My God, is this the same nouveau riche young lady I remember?”

“How well Brie is showing off her assets! And what a figure she has!”

“When did her taste in fashion become so good?”

When Brie heard these comments and more, she smiled in satisfaction.
