Vera returned to the dressing room and really tried on another pink dress. Just as Yan Nuo had said, this pink dress made her look even more beautiful matched her skin color better. Only then did her worried expression turn into a smile. There were only 40 minutes left until the finals started, and her makeup was not done yet. She could not delay it any longer.

The makeup artists came in.

As Vera had cried just now, they had to put on makeup for her again.

Finally, six minutes before the competition, her makeup was done.

The servants that Vera brought took out a set of gorgeous jewelry that she had prepared and placed it in front of her. The box opened, and the light green gemstone necklace inside shone brightly under the light. Everything was perfect, except for… a pair of earrings!

“What happened!” Vera was furious.

In this set of jewelry were necklaces, bracelets, and rings. In addition, there was a pair of pear-shaped earrings.

However, there was no sight of that pair of earrings in this jewelry box!

Vera slapped the servant’s face. “Slave! Did you steal it?!”

The servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed as he begged for mercy. “Miss Vera, it’s not me. It’s really not me!”

Vela also understood that this servant was not that bold.

Her suspicious and angry gaze landed on a few makeup artists. Seeing this, the makeup artists shook their heads and denied it. “We didn’t steal your earrings. If you don’t believe us, you can search our bodies!”

The competition was about to begin, and Vera had no time to search them.

Coincidentally, Yan Yu walked over, so Vera asked her subordinates to help her detain these people for the time being. After the competition ended, she would personally search them and confirm that they were innocent before letting them leave.

Yan Yu raised her eyebrows. She was surprised, but she did not reject her. She said, “It might not be them. All the beauties participating in the competition might be your hidden enemies.”

Vera understood this.

She had lost her earrings but the competition was about to begin, and it was too late to prepare again.

She was a little anxious when the servant saw her and said, “Miss Weila, there’s a pair of ice green earrings in your bag…”

Vera remembered.

There was indeed a pair of ice green earrings in her bag, but those earrings…

Thinking of Yan Nuo, Vera hesitated.

However, seeing that the finals were approaching, she was a little unwilling to lose because of a pair of earrings.

In the end, Vera still wore those earrings.

On the competition stage, the lights suddenly lit up.

On the stage, the beauties appeared one after another. Below the stage, Yan Yu started talking to Yan Nuo about what happened backstage. After hearing what happened, Yan Nuo was a little angry. That slave actually came here to steal something!

A ruthless feeling arose in his heart.

At this moment, it was Vera’s turn.

She was wearing a light pink handmade chic dress, and high heels. She swayed as she walked from the depths of the light to the front of the stage. She wore a set of gorgeous green jewelry, and the pair of fish-shaped ice green earrings in her ears swayed gently as she walked.

Yan Nuo didn’t see it clearly at first. When he glanced at the big screen that zoomed in on the details, he saw the earrings on Vera’s ears and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

The earrings looked familiar.

He thought about it carefully and remembered.

Yan Nuo watched the entire match in silence.

In the end, Vera regretfully lost the championship and won the quarterfinals. The championship was won by another woman named Carina. Carina’s background was not simple either. Her father was a cabinet minister.

Vera lost the competition and could only accept her fate.

When she reached the backstage, she angrily searched everyone herself. In the end, she did not find the earrings she had lost among these people.

She looked at the surveillance cameras again and realized that they were just decorations and did not work at all.

Vera cursed the treacherous person. At this moment, Yan Nuo came backstage. He gave Vera a bouquet of flowers and congratulated her for winning third place. Vera stopped being fierce. When she saw him, she felt a little guilty. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Yan Nuo did not notice the earrings on her ears.

“Brother Yan Nuo, do you want to have dinner together tonight?”

Yan Nuo was about to reject her when Vera said, “My mother cooked personally to celebrate my win. Come with me.”

“…Okay.”

Yan Nuo and Yan Yu went to Vera’s house for dinner.

At the dinner table, Anita kept complaining about the person who stole the earrings. Yan Nuo listened quietly. After dinner, he planned to get up and leave with his sister, but Annita said she wanted the youngsters to talk more. Yan Yu played games on the sofa with his phone, and Vera accompanied Yan Nuo.

Vera asked Yan Nuo many questions about America, and Yan Nuo told her as briefly as possible. Gradually, Vera realized that Yan Nuo was not too interested in chatting.

She gradually lowered her voice.

Yan Nuo saw that the sky was getting darker and wanted to go back.

His gaze lingered on Vera’s earlobe. Finally, Yan Nuo asked, “Did you buy the earrings yourself?” He originally wanted to ask if these were the earring he gave to the little slave. However, Yan Nuo did not want to humiliate Vera, so he changed his phrasing.

Vera’s expression changed.

There it was. He finally realized it.

Vera smiled sweetly at Yan Nuo and said, “No, this is what you asked me to bring back for that little slave when I went to America to accompany you. I like that pair of earrings too. I went to the mall later on and wanted to buy another pair, but the earrings in all the shopping malls are sold out and can’t be bought. I…”

Even though she was apologizing, there was no apology in Vera’s tone. “I really liked it, so I secretly put it on myself. In order to make up for that little slave, I specially chose other gifts for her.”

Vera lied.

Actually, she did not run to the mall to ask if there was any more stock for this pair of earrings. She did not dare to tell Yan Nuo that the gift she gave Ji Yinbing was actually a book.

Yan Nuo’s expression darkened.

He said, “Vera, I don’t like it when people touch my things without permission.” He didn’t like it when people bullied his people without permission.

Yan Nuo suddenly stood up and said to Yan Jing, “Sister, let’s go home.”

Yan Yu stood up to bid Anita farewell. The siblings left together.

Vera gritted her teeth and sat on the sofa.

It had been two years, but he still remembered what this pair of earrings looked like!

Did he really care about that little slave!

Anita walked out of the kitchen. She had actually heard what Vera and Yan Nuo had said. She put her arm around her daughter’s shoulder and told her, “Don’t be discouraged, Vera. Your father was once the second head of the Black Fiend Mercenary Group. To Yan Nuo, you’re more important than that little slave. That little slave is not worthy of being your opponent.”

“So what if Yan Nuo cares about her? That slave is a lowly commoner. Someone like Yan Nuo wouldn’t marry a lowly commoner.”

“You will be the future wife of the Black Fiend Mercenary Company.”

Hearing this, Vera felt better.
