Chapter 1046

• Ivea slowly lifted her gaze, her cold eyes locking onto Simon. Despite her age, her skin remained smooth, and her figure had hardly changed over the years.
• In contrast, Reeky, who bore a slight resemblance to Ivea, had aged significantly. Deep wrinkles framed her eyes, her skin had lost its firmness, and she had gained considerable weight. She had never been as beautiful as Ivea to begin with, but now, the difference between them was stark. Moreover, her expression carried a calculating sharpness, a stark contrast to Ivea’s composed elegance.
• Dressed in a wine-red cheongsam, Ivea exuded an air of confidence and poise. Her presence was commanding, and despite standing there in silence, she naturally drew the attention of everyone in the room. If one didn’t know her age, they might have assumed she was in her forties—time had been kind to her, allowing her beauty to remain untarnished.
