Chapter 19 Will He Accept
Although the Gibson family's dominance in Oakpool is not similar to that in Elfold, it remains one of the top aristocratic families.
The Half-Fortress Hotel, where the banquet is being held, is already crowded even before it begins.
The security guards seemingly maintained order but cleared the way for distinguished guests.
One security guard peered at Elianna's BMW Mini as she drove here. "I'm sorry, madam, there are no parking spaces inside. You can temporarily park your car along the road."
A mocking laugh erupted from the nearby Maserati before Elianna could respond.
"Does this car dare to enter?"
Elianna looked over and noticed a seductive woman seated in the car.
She was in a deep V evening gown, facing the mirror, and applying makeup. When she noticed Elianna was looking, she rolled her eyes and resumed applying lipstick.
Elianna turned aside. "This is my invitation."
When the security guard noticed the word "Larsen" on it, he quickly changed his dismissive demeanor to one of respect.
"You can drive along this road, and someone will park your car for you up ahead."
"Thank you."
The woman in Maserati became irritated after Elianna entered.
She'd just been advised to park on the side of the road, so how could that little broken car be permitted in?
"Security! Didn't you say there were no parking spaces inside?"
"I'm sorry, madam," said the Half-Fortress's security guard in a polite manner. "Mrs. Larsen, the young mistress who has just come, is parking in the spot assigned by the Larsen family."
"The Larsen family..."
Suddenly, the formerly arrogant woman was silent, regretting her impulsive outburst.
Elianna called Asher after parking her car.
He sounded out of breath. "You can go in on your own."
Elianna frowned. She didn't care about Asher's actions, but they had just gotten engaged, and this was their first event attending together after the engagement.
If they came separately, it would create rumors and give the impression that the Larsen family did not appreciate their alliance with the Gentry family.
Her voice became icy. "I don't care who you're with or what you're doing, but you must respect this marriage. You don't want everyone to know about those minor details, do you?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Elianna! Try it if you dare to speak gibberish!" Asher screamed angrily.
"I'll be waiting for you in the hall."
Elianna waited over fifteen minutes after hanging up the phone before Asher arrived.
He despised Elianna's previous threat and didn't even glance at her.
When he entered the dining hall, he disregarded Elianna and went right to Kenley.
He purposefully displayed affection towards Kenley in front of Elianna, hoping to make her jealous and uncomfortable.
But he was overthinking things. Elianna couldn't be disturbed as long as she kept her dignity.
"Anna."
A clear and lovely voice sounded.
Elianna turned around and saw a woman dressed in a green cheongsam. Her physique was delicate and beautiful, like a slender willow swinging in the breeze.
Her eyes were slightly melancholy, which elicited a protective impulse in Elianna, let alone males.
Elianna nodded slightly. "Nola."
The person in front of her was the well-known Nola, Nola Gentry.
Nola's grin was soft, and every movement she made reminded Elianna of an ancient noblewoman in a private chamber.
Elianna wondered if Nola was aware of Mrs. Gentry's plan to let her seduce Jefferson.
After a brief conversation, Nola raised the subject first. "It appears that Jefferson did not come today."
"He's always late," Elianna responded casually.
Nola looked at Elianna, who added, "That's how it is in the Larsen family."
As they talked, there was suddenly a commotion inside the banquet hall.
