Lucinda stopped in her tracks.
She narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously.
âDidnât you pick this out for me?â
Dwayne averted his gaze, looking a little embarrassed.
âI wanted to pick a dress for you myself, but I was so busy all afternoonâ¦â
Lucindaâs expression darkened.
She remembered that when Vivian placed the gift box on her desk, there was no indication as to who had sent the dress.
She didnât think much of it since she thought that it was Dwayne who sent it.
But it seemed that that wasnât the case.
Dwayne thought she was angry with him, so he asked worriedly, âLucinda, whatâs wrong?â
Lucinda decided not to explain herself.
âLetâs go.
I donât want to be late.

Eleanor was still putting on makeup.
She had been preparing for the banquet since noon.
After all, she was tonightâs protagonist.
âIf you didnât invite me, Iâd still be under house arrest.
Those bodyguards are watching me so closely that I feel so suffocated!â
Vivien complained.

Eleanor comforted her with a smile.
âWell, youâre out of the house now.
I think Nate will go easy on you now.
â
âIâm not sure about that.
My brother is a cold-hearted ass.
â She pouted and kept on complaining.
âAnd you wonât answer my calls.
What have you been so busy with? I even wondered if youâd betrayed me.
â
Eleanorâs face froze for a second, but she quickly recovered.
She held Vivienâs hand and patted it comfortingly.
âIâd never do such a thing! Youâre my best friend, Vivien.
â
Seeing the sincere expression on Eleanorâs face, Vivien believed her.
âRelax.
I was just joking.
Congratulations, by the way.
Now that youâre a proper daughter of the Turner family, youâre almost my brotherâs equal!â
A hint of coldness flashed in Eleanorâs eyes, but she quickly softened her expression when Vivien looked at her.
