But anyway, constructing such a picturesque landscape with ponds and greenery required considerable time and effort.

The venue for the charity party was grander, featuring an expansive open hall on the ground floor embellished with long dining tables, elaborate champagne towers, and an assortment of desserts and dishes.
Attendees included accomplished businessmen, renowned celebrities from the showbiz, and their respective families
The gathering comprised elegant ladies, playful and energetic children, as well as charming and innocent young girls.
Observing Sean converse with Jarrod, Norah acknowledged Jarrod with a nod when their eyes met.
Norah had heard that the charity dinner invitations were courtesy of Jarrod Norah considered Jarrod a friendly acquaintance based on their recent interactions
Scanning the surroundings, she didn't spot any familiar faces.
Norah approached the table, grabbed a plate, and selected two kinds of desserts.
She had come here tight after work, having only eaten an apple en route. The sight of the delectable cakes tempted her, eliciting a longing reaction.
Using a fork, she sampled a piece of cake, savoring its flavors. The creamy sweetness tantalized her taste buds, prompting her to squint in delight. Indulging in sweet treats brought great joy to her
"Hey, bumpkin, where do you hail from? Have you never tasted tiramisu? Haha, she seems to relish it as if it were a delicacy."
Another woman remarked mockingly, observing Norah's enjoyment of the dessert. "Haha, it's just tiramisu. Is there a need to overreact?"
Another girl chimed in, amused by the situation. "Perhaps she's a country pumpkin. Such delicacies are likely a novelty to her," the woman girl speculated, joining in the banter.
Norah perceived disdainful sneers directed at her. She glanced around and noticed three elegantly attired young ladies standing nearby, having appeared there during her brief lapse of attention.

The young woman in red met Norah's gaze without hesitation, displaying surprise in her eyes.
"You're attractive, but your conduct is lacking. Are you a recent celebrity in the showbiz?"
Despite her years in Silverdale, the young woman had never encountered such beauty, leading to her subtly sarcastic comment.
When Norah looked at her with cold eyes, she immediately fegretted praising Norah's beauty.
Norah disregarded her and focused on enjoying her dessert.
Growing increasingly frustrated with Norah's lack of response, the young woman became angry.
"Excuse me! Can you hear me talking to you? You're being incredibly rude! If I find out your name, I'll have my brother take action to bar you from the entertainment industry! Humph! Are you scared? Just engage in conversation with me, and I'll drop the matter. Or perhaps you can't hear me? Are you suffering from hearing loss?"
Norah continued to ignore her absurd remarks throughout.
