The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 254

Juno took the invitation and casually pinned it under her hand.

By the time the work reports concluded, it was late, the sky outside painted with magnificent hues of dusk.

One of the executives spoke up. "I hear LORD will be returning to Kingsland."

"Yeah." Juno lazily twirled a pen between her fingers, clearly distracted.

Another executive chimed in. "Isn't Blackwood City fine? Why go back to Kingsland?"

Leaning back in the head chair, Juno met the gazes of the room and replied with a lazy drawl, "I need to go to school."

The Corrington family was based in Kingsland.

The moment she said this, the entire hall of Obsidian Court heavyweights fell dead silent.

Lucia Corbett tossed her pen onto the table. "Go if you want. I'm here anyway."

After all, she was already used to cleaning up Juno's messes.

What was one more on top of a mountain of chaos?

Juno snapped out of her daze and swept her gaze across the hundred or so executives, noting their mixed expressions. "Do you have an objection?"

The moment she asked, Morgan and the elder faction locked eyes with Lucia's people.

Naturally, none of them dared to voice a single complaint. They shook their heads and sat politely.

Because of Juno's decision, the Obsidian Court's commercial empire officially expanded into Kingsland.

With Juno stationed there, they couldn't exactly leave her unprotected.

Otherwise, if trouble brewed, mobilizing forces all the way from Blackwood City would be too slow.

Water from afar couldn't put out a nearby fire.

The nine elite Crimson Brands under the Obsidian Court quietly infiltrated Kingsland's commercial sector.

Once the affairs in Blackwood City were settled, she boarded a flight.

She and Chuck traveled back separately.

This upcoming forum felt like it was custom-made to pave Juno's way.

After Chuck left, Lorcan somehow lost his mind entirely.

Chuck had definitely done something before his departure.

Juno returned to the Corrington estate alone.

The maids had been eagerly awaiting her arrival. The moment they saw her, they swarmed her excitedly.

One offered slippers, another a hot towel, while a third took her coat.

The maids were chattering nonstop.

"Oh! Miss Juno is finally back! The house felt so empty without you!"

"It really did! Mrs. Jagger and Mrs. Corrington came over every day looking for you. When they realized you were gone, they just bickered all day."

It had been a chaotic household.

Juno wore a faint smile as she listened to the maids' overlapping voices.

Babur, who had been waiting the whole time, finally snapped, "Are you all done yet?"

The moment they sat down, Gwendolyn started piling food onto Juno's plate. "What were you thinking, child? Leaving without even giving us a call. You just vanished."

Babur kept his head down, meticulously peeling shrimp. "No one peeled my shrimp while you were gone."

Harrison interjected, "She's home now. Let's not dwell on the past."

Sebastian asked, "Did anything happen while you were in Blackwood City?"

Juno looked up. "No."

"Good. I heard Melba took Rhiannon there as well."

He had only gotten the news recently. Just as he was booking a flight to go check on her, Juno had already returned.

At the mention of Rhiannon, Gwendolyn frowned. "Kingsland and Jindale City are launching a joint project, and the big forum is happening over the next two days. A lot of outsiders will be there. The Talbot family managed to secure the opening performance slot for Rhiannon. Naturally, our family received an invitation as well."

Showing her face in front of such powerful figures would bring endless benefits.

The Talbot family had broadcasted it so loudly that it was impossible not to know.

She glanced at her own daughter, who seemed completely unfazed.

"Who from the family is going?"

"It's quite an important event. Your father, your brothers, and I all have to attend."

Juno nodded.

Gwendolyn complained, "It's just a little performance, but she's acting so high and mighty. She practically shoved it in my face how 'talented' Rhiannon is."

Juno remembered the invitation she had shoved in her pocket. Initially, she had zero intention of going, but now, it sounded somewhat entertaining.
