The Upper-Class Banquet, the Conspiracy

It was not easy for her to get up. Yet, she still had to dress herself up and choose an evening gown.

If she did not know that Jeannie was there, she would die.

Her father had something to do at work, so they were late to the banquet. If they were not late and she had to keep her fake smile with her father the whole night, she would go crazy.

She used the excuse of going to the toilet and left her father's side. Then, without a second thought, she went to Jeanne.

At that moment, Jeanne was accompanying Edward in his social activities.

Edward's reputation in South Harken City was very high. Even in a gathering of so many upper-class people, Edward was an existence that could not be ignored. Therefore, people kept approaching him to propose a toast, and Jeanne was a little bored from entertaining them.

Seeing Monica coming over, she found an excuse to leave Edward and went to the back garden with Monica to get some fresh air.
