Quoc, 'IMO' means 'in my opinion' -- But you didn't give your opinion, you asked for someone else's opinion.

She gave him her biggest smile ever. = She did not give him a small smile. She has given him big smiles before, but this time her smile was bigger than all of her other smiles.

Her biggest smile ever = the biggest smile she had ever given.

Never means at no time, ever means at any time.
