As Selena looked around, she noticed that the other wealthy young ladies were also looking at her. Despite being Miss Turner, Selena had never attended any of the grand events held by the elite in the city. She didn't even associate with any of them except for the Riddle family's daughter. This was her first time sitting with so many young ladies from high society.
As Lab 717's leader and owner of Sacred Pearl, Selena's reputation preceded her. Even those who were used to being haughty and arrogant were surprisingly quiet when they saw her.
After a moment of silence, Winnie bit her lip and was about to approach Selena when a young woman stepped forward from among the crowd.
"Welcome, Miss Turner," she smiled as she introduced herself. "I'm Alisha and James is my brother."
Selena nodded politely in response. "Thank you."
With that introduction out of the way, it felt like there was no distance between them anymore.
"Mr. Turner should come inside soon," another woman spoke up with a smile on her face. "Come see these flowers here compared to what Lauren has at Lan Ting Villa."
Selena walked over to take a look at all of the flowers before turning back to admire all of their beautiful faces with a slight smile on hers.
Perhaps there was nothing more beautiful than these lovely girls' smiles? She picked up an orchid flower and placed it into a vase prepared beforehand for it.
Under the sunshine, she stood in the center of a group of beautiful and wealthy young ladies, smiling slightly, truly standing out among them.
Lillian stood at the door, watching this scene with her cool peach blossom eyes. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
A young woman with delicate features standing behind her saw Selena being surrounded by stars like the moon in the center and jealousy flashed in her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak.
But Lillian spoke first with a hint of realization in her tone. "This is my first time seeing Selena come down from above and stand together with so many people. Indeed..."
The woman was surprised. "Miss Riddle, what did you say?"
She glanced at Selena and disgust flashed across her face. "She's just a girl from one of the capital's noble families who can't compare to you."
Lillian looked at Selena and smirked. "I don't want to hear similar words again."
Selena was not only her rival but also someone she had once served loyally as a subject; no matter what happened, it wasn't up to these ants to humiliate her.
The woman's face suddenly turned pale as she said,"I understand."
Lillian smiled faintly as she picked up a rose beside her and walked elegantly towards Selena on silver high heels.
As soon as Lillian appeared on stage, the atmosphere froze instantly.
All women were stunned by this sudden appearance of such an extraordinary lady even though they were already gathered among the capital's top socialites; Lillian's aura was unique and powerful beyond comparison.
She wore a thin silver long dress that made Her cold white face look flawless while Her cold peach blossom eyes shimmered slightly with pupils shining bright like diamonds.
Her whole person seemed untainted by dust or dirt while exuding an air of nobility that could overwhelm others around Her effortlessly.
Everyone was staring at Lillian, except for Selena who was busy arranging flowers.
