"My Lady, you are gorgeous! I envy your beauty."
Linda blushed slightly at Anna's praise.
Her face almost recovered, but still looked a little different from the original.
It needed more time to recover completely.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Linda muttered, "Charles, we are going to reunite soon."
Only God knew how much she missed Charles.
Stated on the invitation, the celebration was for the return of Lord Nalan's long-lost granddaughter, Haley Nalan.
All the guests wondered why was this long-lost granddaughter highly valued by Lord Nalan.
They were interested to meet this Lady Haley in person. Given that Charles was also invited to the party, Anna wasn't going to accompany Linda to the party.
She had been working for Mu clan's private hospital for many years since Lord Mu sponsored her to finish medical course abroad.
She was known as a Mu clan employee. Her showing up at Nalan clan's party with Haley Nalan would cause suspicion.
She thought it was too early to let Young Master Mu know their scheme.
"I am sorry, My Lady. I can't accompany you to the party. How about letting Lily go with you?" said Anna.
"It's okay. I understand." Linda said with a smile as she patted Anna's hand.
Anna turned to Lily and said, "Lily, you need to wear an evening dress for the party. Lord Nalan sent My Lady several pieces the other day. They are in the closet. You can pick any dress that you like."
Lily sheepishly said, "Oh no, I have never worn an evening dress before. It would be better if you go with My Lady."
Lily was afraid of making a show of herself at the party.
"No, I can't. Lily, please take care of My Lady tonight." Anna said.
Hearing Anna's words, Lily was confused.
"Why can't Anna go to the party?" She asked.
Lily had just knew Linda and Anna. She had no idea of Anna's relationship with Mu clan. She assumed that Anna had been with Linda.
Their relationship with Mu clan and Qi clan was quite complicated. Linda had no time to explain to Lilly right now. "I will tell you everything, but not today. Now, you only need to do as I say and follow me, "?said Linda.
"Okay." Lily was clever. She didn't pry.
At six o'clock p.m.
Guests began to arrive at the Nalan mansion.
The head table was reserved for Nalan family members only.
