Alana’s knees went weak from the anger, and she nearly fell on the floor.
Emmeline! How did you bewitch Abel such that he’d willingly lower his status? He’s head over heels for you!
While Alana was simmering in her thoughts, the butler declared, “Announcing the arrival of Ms. Emmeline Louise!”
The people turned their heads toward the entrance.
A slender and beautiful young woman stepped through the ornate threshold.
She was dressed in a blue evening gown, and her chestnut hair was styled in a big wave.
She barely had any makeup on, but her beauty was enchanting.
The women gasped when they looked closely at the gown she was wearing.
Is that the Serene Sea? The ultimate masterpiece by one of the best designers in the world, and only one was made?
“That’s… That’s impossible!” Alana was shocked.
She had been waiting eagerly for Emmeline’s appearance so that she could insult her. She was hoping to humiliate Emmeline using her lavish status, but Emmeline had stolen the entire show!
All of a sudden, Alana thought she was so unremarkable compared to Emmeline.
“Mommy!” “Mommy!” “Mommy!” “Pretty Mommy!”
Four boys ran toward Emmeline, with Timothy trailing behind.
Tears welled up in Emmeline’s eyes. She bent down, spread her arms, and embraced the four children.
“My babies! I haven’t seen you in a few days. How have you been?”
“We’ve been great!” Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus answered. Only Timothy sheepishly lowered his head.
“Timmy.” Emmeline gently held up Timothy’s face and kissed his cheek. “What happened? You need to cheer up. Otherwise, I’ll be sad.”
