Chapter 260:
As the evening drew to a close, it was obvious that Mariana’s affection for Rosanna had deepened. In a burst of enthusiasm, she even claimed to everyone present that from now on, Rosanna was a close friend of hers, and that should anyone dare to bully Rosanna, Mariana wouldn’t let them go easily.
Vince didn’t say anything but felt overjoyed that he would have connections with the Cooper family through Rosanna. Meanwhile, Rosanna responded with the perfect balance of grace and restraint. She let out a soft laugh and asked, “Mariana, are you sure? Won’t people start talking p>
Mariana tightened her grip on Rosanna’s hand and said without hesitation, “Let them try! You’re about to be engaged, and as your close friend, I absolutely have to stand behind you. In fact, I’m giving you a gift. Tell me, is there anything you want p>
Rosanna, thrilled yet measured, instinctively turned her eyes to Vince, silently seeking his guidance.
Vince gave her an encouraging nod, signaling that she was free to accept.
Mariana, noticing the silent exchange, chuckled and added, “You’re not married yet. No need to be so cautious around him! Just tell me — whatever you want. As long as it’s within my reach, it’s yours p>
Sensing the perfect moment, Rosanna leaned in slightly, her voice light and sweet, with just a hint of shy excitement. “Mariana, I’ve always dreamed of wearing a custom MCN gown for my engagement party. It would mean the world to me p>
“Still… given where I stand now, even thinking about MCN’s exclusive designs feels like a distant dream p>
The custom dresses produced by MCN were in a league of their own. Tailored for the glamorous engagement parties of globally recognized socialites, they symbolized pure luxury and untouchable prestige.

In comparison, the Blue Sea gown seemed almost trivial.
If Rosanna could somehow get her hands on one of MCN’s high-end custom gowns, she’d completely outshine Maia. Moreover, Rosanna would erase the humiliation of being blacklisted by MCN and rub her victory right in Maia’s face.
All Rosanna wanted was for Maia to see that she could still walk proudly in MCN’s finest. When that moment arrived, it would be Maia choking on her own words.
A gentle laugh escaped Mariana. “Why stress over it? It’s just an MCN gown. I’ll get one sent to you p>
“Are you serious?” Unable to contain her excitement, Rosanna grabbed Mariana’s hand tightly.
“Of course I am. You can count on me p>
Rosanna’s heart raced with anticipation.
Gratitude flowed from Rosanna as she thanked Mariana, already feeling as though she had one foot inside the dazzling world of the true elite. It all seemed to be falling into place, almost too smoothly.
Once Vince dropped her off at home, he urged Rosanna to spend more time around Mariana. In his eyes, the Coopers were the most powerful family in Wront, and Mariana, being the spoiled daughter of the family, was a valuable connection. Building a bond with her could unlock limitless opportunities.
When Vince finally drove away, Rosanna remained lost in a happy haze. Everything was moving faster than she had ever imagined.
Without wasting any time, she hurried to share the night’s events with Sandra and Richard. They were overjoyed, showering her with endless praise. They even encouraged her to start attending more exclusive gatherings and hinted that she…
