Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2016

“Yes, Madam Hurney. She is my girlfriend, Ellen.” “Ellen? Oh! Have I heard that name before?” Madam Hurney exclaimed in surprise, her eyes fixed on Ellen. Then her expression turned to one of delight. “You… You are the Miss Go champion, aren’t you?”

Ellen smiled and nodded. “Hello!” “Oh! My husband really admires you! He’s your loyal fan, and I also like you so much.” Madam Hurney gushed with admiration, which left Elle a little embarrassed by the attention. “Thank you for your kind words,” Ellen replied politely.

“Jared, you’re really lucky! It’s rare to see such an excellent girlfriend,” Madam Hurney praised, noting that true inner beauty was rare and far more valuable than external appearances.

“Madam Hurney, you are absolutely right. Meeting Ellen is the greatest blessing of my life,” Jared declared in front of everyone. “I didn’t realize you were Ellen! Your chess skills are truly amazing, especially in that final game.

I was watching the whole time! You’re incredibly talented!” an elderly man praised Ellen. “That’s right. Everyone around me speaks highly of Miss Reiss!”

“When you hold your wedding, we’ll definitely be there to celebrate.” Ellen was taken aback by the newfound attention from the elite. While thinking about this, her face was radiant with a rosy glow.

Not far away, Hannie observed quietly as Ellen walked with the esteemed elders alongside Jared. Hannie was surprised to see the warm welcome that Ellen received from these people.

In such a gathering, many people would put on a show, but the affection Ellen received from the elderly was real, and it caught Hannie’s attention. She was unwilling to lose to this ordinary girl.

Hannie had investigated Ellen’s background and discovered that she was not from a wealthy family, and her education and background were that of an ordinary person. However, Hannie missed a recent piece of news as she was only interested in Ellen’s background.

Ellen felt the urge to use the restroom, perhaps due to having too much juice. She noticed Jared and the elders were still chatting, so she whispered, “I’m going to the restroom.”
