In an instant, a chaotic mess of thoughts jammed up Vera’s mind, crashing into each other as she tried to make sense of it all.
She couldn’t untangle any of it.
Rita pressed the doorbell again, and when no one responded after a while, she spoke up. “Mr. Ramsey, we’ve brought the two full outfits you requested. Please open the door. If it’s inconvenient, we can wait outside.
What?
The person delivering clothes for her, Vera, was none other than Daphne, the queen of Violetcrest. herself?!
This had to be a hallucination.
Vera’s hands trembled with nervousness.
That haughty, alluring queen of Violetcrest–the woman idolized and pursued by every young elite in
Hanfield–had actually driven up to Dawnspire Heights Estates at four in the morning just because of
a single message from Robin… to deliver clothes for her, Vera?
No one would believe this if she told them!
She held her breath, trying to keep herself from freaking out completely.
Watching Daphne stand respectfully in front of the villa Vera could feel her heart pounding out of her
chest
Half a minute later, the villa’s Al system finally responded, “Items have been placed in the storage locker. You may leave.”
Daphne looked a bit disappointed at the automated reply but nodded to Rita to put the clothes in the locker.
She then activated the voice message recorder, her expression deeply respectful. “Mr. Ramsey, we won’t disturb you any further.”
With that, Daphne bowed slightly and, along with Rita, left the entrance of the villa.
Vera watched, completely stunned, as Daphne and Rita–two people known for their poise and high status
acted with utter humility and deference from beginning to end.
She couldn’t believe her eyes.
If Alice could see this, who knows what she’d think!
The woman Alice had idolized for five years, her untouchable queen, was standing here–like a servant at Robin’s command.
And Alice–and the entire Miller family–had thrown away the incredible fortune and opportunity that

had been right in front of them.
Vera let out a bitter laugh at the thought.
God really has a twisted sense of humor.

Right then, she could almost picture the look of regret and disbelief on Alice’s face, and on every Miller’s face, when they realized what they’d lost.
So many people judge and look down on others, not realizing that the real fools are often themselves.
Vera’s thoughts were spinning too wildly to focus on exploring the villa any longer.
She went to the storage locker to retrieve the clothes.
Daphne had thought of everything–there were clothes for every need, from underwear to outerwear, a coat, and even a set of pajamas,
Looking at the neatly packed outfits, Vera gave a little self–mocking smile.
She went straight to the bathroom, took a hot shower, and slipped into the pajamas before sinking the incredibly comfortable bed.
Despite being exhausted from the night’s chaos, she just couldn’t fall asleep.
She lay there, wide awake, until six in the morning.

Finally, unable to resist, she took out her phone and snapped a few photos of the bedroom she was in.
Outside the window, Dawnspire Mountain stretched into the distance, with a faint mist hanging Crescent Lake below.
Alice should be awake by now, maybe I’ll send her a few pictures to mess with her, she thought.
