Chapter 172: Her Appearance Attracted Everyone’s Attention

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Hugo Ashworth emerged from his room, fully dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark slacks. His hair was still slightly damp, but he appeared completely composed, as if the earlier awkward encounter had never happened.

“About tomorrow evening,” I began, fidgeting with the hem of my jacket. “The Whitmore family is hosting a welcome banquet. Would you like to attend?”

Hugo paused, a subtle smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Do you want me to attend?”

I shrugged, trying to appear casual. “Since you happen to be here, it would be impolite not to invite you.”

His expression grew thoughtful. “Won’t there be gossip from the Blackwood family if I show up?”

I laughed, the sound coming out more bitter than I intended. “Only Isabella Blackwood from the Blackwood family might appear. I’m already used to her gossip, so there’s no need for you to worry.”

Hugo nodded slowly. “Then I’ll attend.”
