Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 282

The second dance marked the absolute climax of the banquet.

As the music swelled again, couples could invite each other to the floor, while those who preferred not to dance could indulge in the lavish buffet and mingle to their heart's content.

The moment Vivienne handed her flower to Julian during the final curtain call had caught the attention of almost everyone in the room.

Logically, since she had shared the opening dance with Alaric, both courtesy and common sense dictated she offer him the flower. Could Julian genuinely be considered a better catch than Alaric?

As a designated cannon fodder in this overarching narrative, Julian wasn't supposed to have any spotlight at events like this. No matter how brilliant someone was, if they remained unseen, they were destined to fade into obscurity, swallowed by the long night.

Yet, by using Alaric as a stepping stone, Vivienne had forcibly dragged a sliver of that dazzling light onto Julian. Now, the collective gaze of the room inevitably gravitated toward the young man holding the very first flower.

Radiant and intensely rebellious, he was an anomaly—a completely unique presence within the suffocating elite circles of Stormhollow.

The socialite matrons were suddenly intrigued. Who among them didn't have a precious daughter at home? Alaric's status was too high to realistically reach, and Cyril lacked the necessary clout, but didn't Julian seem like the perfect middle ground?

"Mrs. Cavanaugh, that boy looks rather impressive. Why haven't you mentioned him before?"

Mrs. Cavanaugh's expression turned incredibly awkward. "Really? I've never mentioned Julian? That's impossible! He's the absolute apple of our matriarch's eye. Don't go getting any wild ideas." With that, she quickly shifted her gaze toward Matriarch Cavanaugh in the center.

If the matriarch was dead set on bringing Julian back into the fold, the Cavanaughs wouldn't have a choice. But for the sake of their own children's inheritances, they vastly preferred Julian stay exactly where he was—within the Ravenshire walls.

Vivienne's breathtaking dance had left a significant portion of the crowd completely mesmerized, and a throng of guests quickly swarmed her.

"Vivienne, why did you give your flower to that guy?"

"Because that guy paid me for it," Vivienne answered deadpan.

A burst of laughter rippled through the group.

"Julian, if I give you my flower, will you pay me too?"

Julian shook his head. "Nope. I'm broke. She completely drained me."

"Aw!!!"
