Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 267

Mina whispered back, "He's already caused plenty of trouble."

Eleonora kept her elegant smile intact, giving her daughter's arm a light, warning pinch.

Preston didn't mind at all. "You must be joking, Eleonora."

Cedric pretended not to notice the subtle clash between the families and shot a look at the Main Hall steward. Moments later, Leander and Evelyn emerged from the hall.

"Mr. Blackthorne, Mr. Everhart, why are you two still standing outside? Please, come in and have some tea."

Evelyn stepped forward and linked her arm through Eleonora's. "Why didn't you head straight inside? Standing out here is no fun. Oh! This must be Mina. You've grown even more gorgeous. Lara is here too; I'll have her show you around later."

Truthfully, Mina didn't like Lara Arlington. Even when they played house as kids, Lara always had to be the one barking orders.

But in front of the adults, she kept her manners in check, pressing her lips into a polite smile.

After a round of warm pleasantries, the group chatted and laughed their way into the Main Hall.

On the other side of the estate, Serena and Isabella had gone to enormous lengths to dress to the nines, even dropping a fortune to rent a luxury car for the banquet. But the moment they handed over their invitations, they were completely stunned.

The security guards didn't recognize them and immediately directed them to a side entrance.

It would be one thing if a stranger didn't know the layout, but Serena and Isabella had lived at the Obsidian Estate for three years. How could they not know where the main gates were?

Although this temporary entrance was decorated with grand elegance, it wasn't the main gate they used to pass through every day.

Serena stared at the long line of people in front of her, a sinking feeling settling in her chest. "Isabella, are you sure Alaric gave you these invitations?"
