NovelGoldChapter 180 Claire sat in front of the mirror, her face a canvas ready to be transformed. With a deft touch, the makeup artist picked up an eyebrow pencil and began to define her brows. Claire's eyebrows were naturally graceful, and the pencil only added a touch of liveliness and refinement to her face.
Next, a soft pink eyeshadow was gently applied to her eyelids, followed by a deeper brown shade to the outer corners, creating a look that was both deep and tender. A thin line of eyeliner and a coat of voluminous mascara brought Claire's eyes to life, making them sparkle with newfound animation.

Finally, a layer of rose-tinted lipstick was applied, giving her lips a plump, dewy appearance, as if they might spill honey with the slightest touch.
Andie stepped back, admiring her work with a satisfied nod. With a graceful twist of her slender waist, she let her fingers glide over a row of elegant dresses, finally selecting a delicate pale pink gown. The dress, crafted primarily from sheer fabric with a skirt that gracefully touched the floor, seemed to whisper, "Youth is beauty." Once Claire donned the dress, she appeared both elegant and vibrant, a stark contrast to the gloomy aura that had clung to her in the past. Andie styled Claire's hair into a low chignon, allowing a few wisps to fall naturally by her ears, and added a string of pearls around her neck. In that moment, Claire transformed into a vision of grace and charm.
When Claire gazed into the mirror, she could hardly believe the reflection staring back at her. She had almost forgotten the lively, cheerful person she used to be before returning to the Linwood family. It was as if she was seeing the vibrant, youthful version of herself for the first time.
Andie took a step back, proud of her handiwork. "I must say, I have the gift of turning the ordinary into extraordinary!" she declared with a hint of her usual sharp wit.
Claire merely sighed, accustomed to Ms. Andie's sassy remarks. Standing nearby, Liam couldn't help but exclaim, "Ms. Linwood, you look absolutely stunning today!" He eagerly anticipated the CEO's reaction upon seeing Ms. Linwood in her ethereal form. Indeed, Ms. Linwood was truly beautiful, but her experiences had left her with a deep-seated insecurity that often manifested as a visible expression of unworthiness, even when the matriarch showed her kindness.
Her modest demeanor might seem awkward on someone else, but having learned about Ms. Linwood's past, Liam felt only a deep sense of compassion for her. Despite her goodness, she had never received the kindness she deserved. Fortunately, she had the support of the matriarch and the boss now, and Liam was confident that her future would be much brighter.

His respectful demeanor filled Claire with a sweet warmth, her eyes misting slightly with emotion. It was heartening to realize that good people surrounded her, unlike the Linwood family, where Nathan, Adah, and Ethan openly despised her, and the servants mirrored their disdain.
Vanessa's driver, in particular, treated her with scorn, as if to say, "Missn C Vanessa is the Day Min sky's cloud, while you, Claire, are nothing but dirt on the ground."
Taking a deep breath, Claire stood tall, her posture elegant as she made her way to the waiting luxury car om Liam quickly bent down to lift the train of her dress, a gesture of care and respect. The driver, already waiting outside, offered his gloved hand to open the car door and protectively shielded her head as she got in.
From the villa's entrance, Andie watched with envy as Claire wasn pampered like a princess: "Lucky girl," she murmured, "to be treated so well."
