Surrounded by Five Beast Lords novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152 What Makes Her So Special?

Vivienne Southwell, head of the Southwell family, was a prominent figure on the Core Planet.

She showed up in person and presented her own invitation.

“Uh…” The receptionist broke out in a cold sweat. “Ms. Southwell, this…”

“What’s the problem?” Vivienne raised an eyebrow. “Do the Shawn family’s invitations not count at all?

“Or are you, just a receptionist, somehow outranking the head of the Shawn family and free to decide who gets in

Felix walked up to Mindy, his gaze lingering on her for a moment.

Just now, seeing Mindy step in so boldly to protect his sister made Felix’s heart stir.

“You okay?” he asked softly.

Mindy shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Felix looked at her, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

Iris timidly walked up to Dora and whispered, “Sis…”

Dora looked at her, her gaze softening. “You came?”

Iris’s eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.

Vivienne’s tone was icy as she stared down the receptionist, her face completely expressionless.

The receptionist went sheet-white, bowing again and again. He stammered, “No, no, I wouldn’t dare!

“Please, come in, all of you!”

Mindy gave a little huff, grabbing Dora’s arm. “Let’s go!”

As Felix walked past Mindy, his gaze lingered on her for an extra second, without even meaning to.

Mindy noticed him watching her and glanced his way. Their eyes met for a moment, and both looked away just as fas

Vivienne saw it all, a barely-there smile playing at her lips.

Iris followed right behind Vivienne, looking like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just kept quiet and ta along.

At the corner of the corridor, Wendy was so furious that she/stomped her foot.

She snapped, “Useless! All of you are useless!

“You can’t even stop a few people!”

Wendy glared at Dora and her group as they walked away, her eyes burning with venom.

She muttered, “Dora, what are you so proud of?

“Rafe’s nothing but a broke loser now!”

She spun around, stomping off toward the main hall in her high heels.

The main hall was lit up bright, with people mingling and toasting everywhere.

As Dora and her crew walked in, all eyes turned their way.

The glances they got were mixed.

Some were sizing them up, some were judging, some looked down on them, and some were just curious.

Some looked down on Dora for showing up at a fancy party with a cat in her arms, and with that sickly-looking ex-CEO of the Sterling family, who’d just been kicked off the board.

Others were curious because of the combat suits they were wearing.

At first glance, the suits just looked stylish, but up close, one could tell the materials were top-notch and the tailoring was flawless. There was a faint ripple of energy coming off them, clearly a Pinnacle Level 6 aura

And then there were the two women. One was dazzling and bold, the other was sharp and confident Standing in the crowd. they totally outshone all the other ladies in their fancy dresses.

“Who’s that? Never seen them before.”

Successfully unlocked!

“The one in black next to them has such a strong ve

“The one with his ears showing, looks like the son of the Shawns who got booted from the family.”

Chapter 152 What Makes Her 56 Special?

“Is that redhead Rafe? Isn’t he supposed to be a loser now?”

“Yeah, I heard he got disowned by the Sterling family, too.”

“But those combat suits they’re wearing? Easily worth over a million starcoins.”

“Who’s that woman with him She’s actually pretty good-looking…”

Whispers buzzed all around.

Dora paid no attention, holding Lioren in her arms as she walked in with total composure.

“The elders from the Frostveil Star are already here,” Lioren said.

His tone was low, but the venom in his words was unmistakable.

“Behind the third pillar, the old man in the gray robe with the ice-patterned embroidery on his left sleeve, that’s one Dora’s gaze swept across the hall, and sure enough, she spotted a hunched-over old man making small talk with R The old man seemed to sense something and suddenly turned, his cloudy eyes fixed on the cat cradled in Dora’s an Lioren immediately let out a soft, gentle meow and rubbed against Dora’s palm, the perfect picture of a pet begging

The elder frowned and looked away.

“He doesn’t recognize me,” Lioren muttered to himself. “Good.”

The crystal chandeliers lit up the banquet hall bright as day, but even that couldn’t drive away the damp, heavy gloom unique to the wet season.

Dora noticed a thin layer of mist already clinging to many guests’ clothes, a telltale sign that the wet season’s polluti already sticking to them.

Regina and Cassian were standing in the center of the main hall, making small talk with a few guests.

When Dora and her crew walked in, both their gazes faltered for a moment.

Regina’s smile stiffened for a split second, her eyes flashing with complicated feelings.

Surprise, appraisal, and a barely noticeable trace of envy.

Regina couldn’t help but glance at her own dark red designer dress, then at Dora’s matching combat suit.

The fabric, the cut, and that barely-there surge of energy…

No doubt about it, it was a tailor-made Pinnacle Level 6 combat suit!

And it was even reinforced with agave plants and waterproof vines.

Those two materials went for crazy prices during the wet season!

Agave plants, waterproof vines, Pinnacle Level 6 beast hide… Any one of these is worth a fortune, but good luck finding them anywhere.

‘Why her?’ Regina seethed, jealousy twisting in her gut.

‘She’s just some adopted girl who got booted from her family, the one my son wouldn’t even marry.

‘Now she’s got a broke loser, some random guy in black, a cat, and that useless kid I never liked, all tagging along behind

her.

‘How does she even deserve to wear something like that?’

Regina felt an uncontrollable wave of jealousy rising inside her.

She was wearing a designer gown from the Core Planet’s top designer, and it had cost her tens of thousands of starcoms

But now, standing in front of Dora and her group, her expensive dress seemed to lose its shine.

Cassian held a glass of wine, but his gaze kept drifting to the female in red.

Dora.

She was more radiant than ever.

It wasn’t just about her outfit, there was a calm confidence and poise that seemed to come from deep within

She was nothing like the headstrong girl who used to follow him around.

Wendy was holding onto his arm, and she noticed where his eyes were going.

She followed his gaze and spotted Dora, with Clive, Elmer, and Rafe nearby, plus that big cat sprawled in Dora’s arms. Her face darkened instantly.
