Chapter 94 Banquet
She hadn't attended such a banquet for many years. Although tonight was arranged by the Mcfarland family, she was willing to come because she had her own plan.
If she wanted to regain the glory of her family, she would never be able to do it alone. Therefore, she must ask for others' help.
And this kind of banquet was the best occasion for socializing. So, she came here to seek opportunities!
Sienna was wearing a black velvet dress, revealing her delicate collarbone. The swan pendant was right in the middle, emitting a faint twinkling light.
Her beautifully shaped neck and collarbone will undoubtedly attract the attention of all men.
She took out a mask inlaid with diamonds from her handbag and put it on her head, which just covered the upper half of her face, only revealing her beautiful red lips and delicate pointed chin. After everything was ready, Sienna walked into the hotel elegantly.
Stepping into the banquet hall, Sienna noticed that everyone inside was also wearing masks. There were various kinds of them in all sorts of exaggerated shapes. Compared with them, both Sienna's
attire and mask looked unremarkable.
However, what Sienna wanted was to be inconspicuous as much as possible. She didn't want to be recognized by someone as soon as she stepped into the venue.
Countless people jeered and looked down at the Mckinney family. Thus, they were also malicious towards her, the only remaining daughter of this family. Sienna never wanted to put herself in danger.
Sienna strolled to the bar, took a glass of red wine, and sipped lightly. She was not in a hurry to join.
the lively chatting at the scene. Instead, she looked at everyone calmly, trying to identify their
identities.
The invitation that Kurt gave her had a seat number. Sienna didn't go there immediately, or she would immediately become a target. She couldn't imagine what kind of humiliation she would face by then. Sienna took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Donald: [Donald, I have arrived at the venue. When will you come over?]
Seeing the reply, Sienna frowned slightly.
Donald might not be able to arrive at the venue on time due to traffic jams.
After receiving Kurt's invitation, she contacted Donald immediately, hoping that Donald could
accompany her to this charity banquet.

She had gradually accepted the existence of her two cousins, who were related to her blood. In such a complicated banquet, it was better to have someone she knew around her. She could discuss the solution with someone if anything happened.
Donald hadn't come yet, and Sienna was not in a hurry to take action. Thus, she continued to sip her wine leisurely.
Suddenly, her body became tense, and she subconsciously stood up straight.
A plump woman appeared at the end of her sight. Although she was wearing a mask, Sienna recognized her through her attire. She was Ivory Cooper, the wife of Mr. Cooper of the Cooper family! The Cooper family was a rising aristocrat. To put it bluntly, they were nouveau riche who had only made a fortune in the past decade. This family had no background, but they were incredibly wealthy.
The Cooper family was in the iron and steel mining business and had a lot of money. According to gossip, Mr. Cooper cherished his wife a lot and valued her very much. Therefore, Ivory was also well-known for being quite strict with her husband.
She wasn't very well-educated and didn't have much in common with the noble ladies who claim to belong to the upper class. Their relationship was not harmonious, and she was faintly excluded from the circle of nobles.
And Ivory's biggest hobby was collecting beautiful gems. And now, she was wearing a dazzling ruby necklace around her neck and a diamond bracelet on her wrist. The sapphires on her earrings were also of high quality.
Such nondescript and exaggerated attire was very eye-catching, and because of this, Sienna recognized Ivory at a glance.
Sienna suddenly had a plan. People like Ivory were much easier to communicate with than those harsh, noble ladies.
She got up slowly, holding the wine glass, pretending to pass by Ivory carelessly. Suddenly, she exclaimed, and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground.
A well-trained waiter immediately came to clean up the shards. Sienna apologized softly to the frightened Ivory, glanced at the pendant around her neck, and suddenly said with great interest, "Madam, your pendant must be a top-quality ruby."
'And this bracelet is amazing. It's beautifully designed, and the diamonds on it are perfect. You really do have good taste, madam."
Sienna was not stingy with her praise and sincerely showed envy in her words, which immediately

made Ivory delighted.
"I didn't expect a young lady like you to have such good taste as well. I went abroad for this ruby pendant and spent a lot of money on an auction to buy it!" She boasted triumphantly. People around heard her loud voice. They all recognized her identity and laughed.
"It's her again! This upstart old lady!"
"Look at her outfit! It's so cheesy and inadequate!"
"Hmph! Such a nice ruby pendant should be matched with beauty. It's a waste to be hung around
the neck of such a woman!"
Someone said enviously.
Sienna found it ridiculous when she heard their words. These people were nothing but losers. They were not as rich as the Cooper family and were jealous of Ivory's extravagant spending, so they
could only mock her to make themselves feel better.
Sienna said with a smile, "My Grandpa also has a top-quality ruby pendant kept by my family for generations. My family has always cherished it and barely wears it. I have been lucky enough to take it out a few times. It looks very close to the quality of the one on your neck."
"Really?" Ivory's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Girl, I wonder if you are interested in selling me this pendant. I'll pay you generously! I always want to buy another ruby pendant for my husband, but I can't replace such a nice ruby anywhere!"
Sienna went silent for a while and said in embarrassment, "It's an antique of my family, and I can't.
make the decision..."
But she continued, "However, beautiful gems should be in the hands of those who cherish them so that they will not be dusty. No one in my family loves that pendant. As long as I can convince my family, I can sell it to you."
Ivory was overjoyed and immediately exchanged numbers with Sienna. She repeatedly told Siennal that after the charity auction, she would definitely contact Sienna to see that pendant. As for the price, Sienna could name it at will because Ivory was determined to buy it!
After Ivory left, Sienna looked at her phone number with a slight smile in her eyes.
Sure enough, choosing Ivory as the target was the right decision.
Sienna didn't know how much effort it would take if she had to deal with other women who claimed
to be noble.
The conversation she had with Ivory just now also attracted some people's attention, which was not
what Sienna wanted.

She made a few detours, avoiding the ladies who came up to inquire about the situation and was going to replace a secluded place to wait for Donald's arrival.
At the corner, a reckless waiter walked over quickly with a plate of cakes and happened to collide
with Sienna.
Sienna exclaimed, and the mask on her head slipped off, revealing her beautiful face.
