Chapter 178 This is the Three-Star Chef I Hired for Bianca!
As night fell, the lights began to glow.
The birthday dinner arrived as scheduled.
The venue was the only six-star hotel in Emerald City.
The banquet hall was very spacious and extremely luxurious. A huge champagne tower stood in the center, and tables in the corners were filled with all kinds of fancy desserts.
This wasn't just Isabella and Bianca's birthday party, but also their coming-of-age ceremony, so it was bigger than usual.
People kept coming in from outside, and Hayden stood at the entrance with a smile, greeting guests.
Today's gathering brought together all the famous people in Emerald City. The banquet hall was filled with clinking glasses and constant chatter.
Abigail and Evelyn walked in arm-in-arm with several other rich girls. The young ladies looked around the banquet hall and gasped in amazement.
"Bianca's birthday party today is so fancy! I heard this hotel is really hard to book! So expensive!"
"Look, there's a huge fountain on the terrace outside, so pretty!"
The water from the fountain actually glowed, looking absolutely beautiful.
"Even the drinks here are really expensive. The Taylor family is really willing to spend money today!"
"We're all lucky to be here thanks to Bianca!"
"By the way, where's Bianca? Where is she? I don't see her?"
Just then, in the distance, Bianca appeared wearing a crystal crown and a white evening gown, walking gracefully on Zachary's arm.
She was usually a few centimeters shorter than Isabella, but today she wore high heels, making her look much taller than usual.
Abigail and the others immediately went up to her.
"Here comes our star of the day!"
"Bianca, you look so beautiful in that outfit, just like a princess! So gorgeous!"
Bianca pressed her lips together shyly with a smile. "It's all thanks to the makeup artist and stylist. If you all dressed up nicely, you'd look even better than me."
"Bianca, you're too modest," the rich girls said one after another. "Only your figure can pull off this dress. None of us have a figure as good as yours."
Just then, there was another commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Someone in the crowd shouted: The young master of the Baker family is here!
Immediately, countless eyes turned toward the entrance.
The Baker family had been rising rapidly in recent years, growing more and more powerful. As the only heir of the Baker family, Zachary had unlimited prospects, naturally attracting a lot of attention.
Zachary wore a black suit. He was handsome with a tall, slender figure. Standing there with a gentle smile on his face.
Like a prince walking out of medieval times.
One look was enough to make people fall for him.
"Bianca, your boyfriend is here!"
"You two are killing us! One so handsome, one so beautiful, you're the perfect couple!"
Bianca shyly covered her face. "Don't say that."
"What? You have such a perfect boyfriend and we can't even praise him?"
Bianca smiled sweetly, pressing her lips together.
But the next second, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
A gasp came from the crowd.
"Look! This is the real Taylor family daughter! So beautiful!"
Also wearing a white evening gown, Isabella slowly entered everyone's view. Under the lights, her face was flawless, stunning beyond words, absolutely gorgeous.
This breathtaking beauty instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Isabella looked like she had walked out of a painting. Her every smile, every movement carried an extraordinary grace. Her eyes were bright as stars, strikingly beautiful. Just one look from her was enough to make people feel ashamed of themselves.
All the guests present, whether they had seen Isabella before or not, were stunned.
"So this is the real daughter of the Taylor family? So beautiful..."
Such stunning beauty would be hard to match anywhere in Emerald City.
As soon as Isabella appeared, she made all the other women present pale in comparison.
Especially Bianca.
Before Isabella came out, Bianca thought she looked incredibly beautiful.
But as soon as Isabella appeared, she was instantly brought back to reality.
All the compliments she had just received felt like mockery.
Bianca dug her nails hard into her palms, staring at Isabella in the distance with resentful, hateful eyes.
People began whispering among themselves.
"Didn't they say Isabella grew up in the countryside? How is she so beautiful? Such great presence!"
"Not just great presence. I heard the real daughter of the Taylor family is excellent at everything. Not only does she get good grades, but she also won first place in the Youth Calligraphy Competition, and even the vice president of the Calligraphy Association wants to take her as a student!"
"This real daughter of the Taylor family is really amazing!"
"Much better than that fake daughter."
"..."
Zachary looked at Isabella, his expression slightly dazed, a flash of disbelief in his eyes.
He never knew Isabella could be so dazzling when dressed up.
However...
Zachary noticed that when Isabella appeared, Bianca's grip on his arm tightened. He quickly suppressed the amazement in his eyes and squeezed Bianca's hand to comfort her: "Bianca, don't worry, I'm here."
"Wait for me a moment."
He got up and went out.
Before long, the banquet hall doors opened again. Zachary came in from outside, and now there was a foreign man in a Michelin restaurant chef's uniform behind him.
Behind the man was an entire chef team.
They walked toward them in neat formation.
Zachary lifted his chin and introduced to everyone: "This is Asher, a three-star Michelin chef I specially invited from Astoria for Bianca. He will prepare the dinner for everyone."
As soon as he said this, all the attention on Isabella was immediately drawn away.
Gasps of surprise came from the crowd.
"Did I hear that right? It's actually the three-star Michelin chef Asher! I heard he's really hard to book. I can't believe Zachary, at such a young age, has the ability to invite such a famous chef for Bianca! That's amazing!"
Such a talented and famous chef couldn't be hired just with money.
Usually only banquets of the four major families would hire such chefs. Ordinary people couldn't get them.
Bianca was also pleasantly surprised. Zachary hadn't told her about this in advance.
"Bianca, your Zachary spoils you so much! He actually invited such a famous chef for you!"
In an instant, everyone's attention focused on Bianca, because Zachary had said this chef was specially invited for Bianca! Not for Isabella.
"Looks like the Baker family's background is much deeper than we thought. Bianca, you're going to be one lucky Mrs. Baker in the future."
Zachary walked toward Bianca with his long strides and bowed to her very gentlemanly. "Bianca, happy birthday."
"Do you like the birthday gift I'm giving you?"
A group of girls saw this scene and let out excited squeals.
"This scene is so cool! Bianca, Zachary is just like a character from a manga! The really noble kind!"
"So jealous of you two!"
Bianca blushed at their words, feeling excited.
Zachary was so amazing.
