The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 340

With this issue left unresolved, Gwendolyn felt as if a massive boulder was crushing her chest, making it hard to even breathe.

For the past two days, everyone in the family had been running themselves ragged, while she sat at home like an idle bystander, completely unable to help.

"Let me think about it some more." Frowning slightly, Gwendolyn clearly hadn't abandoned the idea.

Harrison fell silent. After a long moment, he sighed. "Alright. I know you just want to contribute. If you want to go, then go. If anyone gives you trouble, I'll make them pay for it."

A gentle horse gets ridden, and a gentle person gets bullied.

He knew full well that Gwendolyn would face humiliation if she went, but since she wanted to try, he wasn't going to be the overbearing husband who locked her in the house.

Gwendolyn nodded resolutely. "Okay."

She wouldn't actively make things worse, but she also wouldn't stand there and let herself be bullied. She would cross that bridge when she came to it.

Living with Juno for so long had definitely rubbed off on her.

The next evening, Mrs. Sherwood arrived exactly on time.

Fully dressed and composed, Gwendolyn stepped out to join her.

Both women were stunning. In their youth, they had been the most coveted socialites in Kingsland, and as they aged, they only grew more elegantly refined.

The gathering was hosted at The Peninsula Hotel, a hyper-luxurious property owned by The Imperium.

As the car pulled up to the entrance, Gwendolyn gazed up at the towering, ultra-modern silver façade. The dynamic lighting shifted in mesmerizing, high-tech patterns.

She took it in with a brief glance before stepping confidently inside.

The venue was already packed. When people noticed Gwendolyn's arrival, they offered nothing more than passing glances before turning away.

In the past, the moment she walked into a room, a massive crowd would have swarmed her immediately.

Gwendolyn didn't let it faze her, maintaining her graceful poise as she walked further in.

Mrs. Sherwood walked by her side, and the two elegantly picked up glasses of red wine from a passing waiter.
