Chapter 61

Chapter 61 In fact, Zane did have to go on a business trip, but there was one thing Alice was right about–he indeed hadn’t received an invitation.

Alice looked at Zane, waving the invitation in her hatal, saying, “Zane, if you don’t have anything else, I’m going to head out now, or I’ll be late.

Zane nodded slightly, then opened the door and walked in, closing it behind him.

Alice stared at the closed door, her face full of suspicion.

She thought. He just left like that? He didn’t even try to ask me to take him. If he does that, I won’t agree. But he should at least pretend to do so, giving me some sense of superiority”

When Alice arrived at the Rosewood residence, she stopped a maid and asked, “Which room does Elysia stay in?”

Alice was no more than twelve or thirteen years old but was dressed in expensive clothes, likely a wealthy heiress.

The maid didn’t dare to be careless and quickly replied. “Ms. Elysia Rosewood is in the second bedroom on the right upstairs. Do you need me to show you the way?”

Alice said, “No need.” She waved her hand and walked straight towards the second floor. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Elena and couldn’t help but be taken aback by her beauty.

She thought. ‘Isn’t she the girl I met at Amour Cafe last time I didn’t think she was that attractive before, but now, she looks quite stunning. However, compared to Elysia, she still falls a bit short Elena also recognized Alice and raised an eyebrow. She said. “Are you the little girl at Amour Cafe that day?”

Hearing this, Alice stomped her foot in frustration and said, “1 told you last time, I’m not a little girl.”

Elena replied, “Oh! I gorgot“.

Alice was speechless.

“Elena, stop teasing her, Elyssa said with a smile, looking as if a fairy had descended from heaven, her beauty unparalleled.

It was then that Alice noticed Elysia. Elysia’s beautiful features were enhanced by the exquisite makeup, adding a touch of charm. The purple gown she wore, adorned with gems that twinkled like stars under the lights, was captivating.

Alice couldn’t help but be mesmerized. She thought, How could there be such a beautiful woman like Elysia in this world? Even as a girl, I couldn’t help but be charmed, not to mention those guys.’

Alice said, “Elysia, I promise you’ll be the most stunning one here tonight.”

Elysia laughed at her words. She said. That’s quite an exaggeration.

Alice said, “I’m just telling the truth, not exaggerating at all.”

Elena rarely nodded in agreement. She said, “On this point, I and little. Sensing Alice’s gaze on her, Elena promptly stopped herself from finishing the sentence and continued, and she are in agreement.”

Alice finally averted her gaze, her expression a mix of pride and coyness. She said, “Call me by my name from now on I’m Alice, what about you?”

Elena said, “Elena”

Alice founded the name familiar. She had heard it somewhere before but couldn’t quite place it. After pondering for a long time, she finally remembered where she had heard it She thought, “Isn’t the president of the senior student council named Ben? Thinking of this, she looked at Elena and asked, “Are you the student council president?*

Seeing Elena nad in confirmation, Alice was excited. She thought, ‘Oh my! I have just had a close encounter with this legendary, aloof goddess Elena. I even argued with her Although Alice wasn’t as intimidated by Elena as other students, Elena was still a legendary figure among students. Alice wondered if she should at least pretend to be a little scared and show Elena some respect Noticing the furrowed brows on Alice’s forehead, Elysia guessed that Alice must be scheming something. She said. “Elena won’t bite, you don’t need 12:05 PM Chapter 61 to overthink it”

Hearing this, Alice grinned and said, “I was just thinking whether I should do something to show my respect to the president”

Elena said. “There’s no need. And don’t call me president.”

Alice asked. “Then can I call you Elena?” Her face was full of flattery. If she could latch onto Elena, she would be so powerful at school Elysia was amused by Alice. She thought, ‘Alice really knows how to read the situation. She has just been at odds with Elena, and now she is quickly changing sides”

Elena replied. “Whatever.” She didn’t really care what people called her. She was used to bring alone. But after meeting Elysia, she suddenly felt like she had a friend.

Alice’s face lit up with joy. She couldn’t believe she had actually latched onto Elena. She was already thinking about walking around school with her head held high in the future.

She asked. “Elena, if someone bullies me at school in the future, will you stand up for me?”

Elysia raised an eyebrow. She thought. “Zane’s niece getting bullied at school! I don’t believe it for a second.”

Elena looked at Alice seriously and said, “I will handle it impartially.”

Alice’s smile instantly froze on her face. She complained inside. That’s too official Hearing this, Elysia burst into laughter. She said, “Don’t give Elena a hard time. With Zane backing you up, who would you have to fear?”

Alice said, “You’re right Ar this point, there were only less than five minutes left before the dinner party was set to officially begin. But only a few guests showed up. Seeing this, Scott felt embarrassed. But he was still trying his best to control his emotions, not daring to show the slightest anomaly. He knew someone was causing trouble.

As a veteran businessman who had been in the game for many years, Scott easily guessed who was pulling the strings.

He thought, Apart from the Davis family, no one else has such power. The Davis family’s status in Sivro is indeed not to be underestimated He could already imagine that if the events of tonight’s dinner were to spread, the Rosewood family would become the Laughingstock of the entire Sivro high society Bella was originally entertaining a few wealthy ladies in the garden, but as soon as she turned around, she overheard their mockery.

One woman said. “The Rosewood family could have offended anyone, but they had to offend the Davis family. They really don’t know their own weight”

Another lady said. “The Davis family’s status in Sivro is far above the Rosewood family. Their marriage alliance is already a match above the Rosewood family’s station, yet they are unwilling. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to swallow my pride either.”

One woman said, “When it comes down to it, the only reason we’re here today is because we have business dealings with the Rosewood family and aren’t under the Davis family’s control. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to be here either.”

Listening to their mockery, Bella felt a surge of anger in her bean. She thought, ‘If it weren’t for Elysia’s insistence op offending the Davis family. would we be in this situation!”

Noticing Scott’s face a bit off, Bella leaned in and whispered, “It’s all your fault for spoiling Elysia too much. Otherwise, how could this have luppened today?*

Scout’s brows furrowed. He de complained inside, “Is this the time to talk about that? He couldn’t help but feel annoyed that Bella was being thoughtless. He growled in a low voice, “You know nothing.”

He added inside, “When Elysia associates with the wealthy and powerful, and the Rosewood family rises to a higher level, all these sycophants will come crawling to me.
