"Yeah."
"She just wants to show off in front of you. They barely scraped into the bottom of the top eight families, I don't know what she's so arrogant about. Riley, ignore her, and ignore Sebastian from now on too. He's blind."
Seeing Winona so fiercely defending her warmed Riley's heart. "Okay."
After calling Mrs. Gable, she followed Winona's car out of The Grand Regency and headed toward the Spencer villa.
At the Spencer Villa.
A red carpet stretched all the way from the main gate to the entrance. A massive banner hung above the door reading: "Welcome Home, Darling!" The carpet was lined with flower stands boasting stunning, vibrant blooms flown in that very afternoon.
As night fell, the entire villa was ablaze with light, shining as bright as day.
Daphne was frantically directing the staff, alternating between fixing a slightly crooked string of fairy lights and fussing over a floral arrangement that didn't look quite perfect.
Victor walked up and gently wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders. "Daphne, isn't this a bit too much?"
"How is it too much? I don't think it's grand enough!"
"Tonight is the first time she's coming home. It's just a family dinner. Let's keep it simple and warm. A spectacle like this might actually scare her. Once she's settled, we can throw a massive, formal banquet for all the elites in Statenbury and announce to the world that we've found our daughter."
Daphne paused, realizing he had a point. "Why didn't you say so earlier? I had all of this set up."
"You were just so happy. I didn't want to ruin your excitement."

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
