Chapter 527
“Sadie, please don’t praise me like that. I’ll get embarrassed.”
Esther placed her hand on her chest, looking slightly uneasy.
Today, she wore a strapless mermaid evening gown with a simple yet radiant design. At first glance, it might seem ordinary, but it glistened like scattered starlight beneath the bright lights upon closer inspection.
Around her graceful neck hung a stunning jade necklace of the highest quality. It was flawlessly pure yet irresistibly captivating.
“Esther, let’s go,” Marcus called.
“Sure.”
Given the numerous guests, Marcus, his wife, and Oliver went ahead to welcome them at the exclusive Royal Palace Hotel. They were concerned about the crowd and wanted someone to look after Felix, so they entrusted him to Agatha.
“Esther, if you haven’t been to Capitus before, you might not know that the Royal Palace Hotel is not open to the public. It’s reserved for important guests.
“Aunt Faye’s influence played a significant role in securing this for us, along with our family connections. You’ll see for yourself when we arrive. Your birth mother, my aunt, was a sensation in Capitus in her time.”
Sitting in the car, Sadie explained the prominent families in Capitus to Esther.
“Esther, the Quill is no small name in Capitus either. Don’t hesitate to respond if anyone says anything unpleasant in front of you. I’ve got your back.”
Tears welled up in Esther’s eyes. She never expected to be this fortunate-to have such a wonderful family.
She had faced adversity, but now, she was fortunate.
From this point on, she had someone to rely on. She didn’t have to bear everything alone anymore.
The car halted at the entrance of the transformed Royal Palace Hotel, once a royal mansion. A red carpet extended from the entrance into the mansion, flanked by weathered statues standing regally at the entrance.
Sadie stepped out of the car and offered her hand to Esther.
“Esther, are you ready to dazzle everyone?” Sadie playfully winked and led Esther onto the red carpet.
Sadie felt protective of Esther, a bond of blood running deep between them.
