Chapter 297

On the day of Helen's gathering, ladies from both inside and outside the capital, as well as the families of high-ranking officials, all arrived at Hell Monarch Estate.

Despite the invitation being framed as a snowfall viewing event, it hadn't snowed that day. Furthermore, the garden's orchids had been transplanted to a secluded area. After the relocation, the blossoms hadn't bloomed at all this year.

Even with Rafael's return and the meticulous care of a specialist, the garden had only a few blooming flowers.

However, whether it was flowers or snow was secondary. Everyone understood well enough that Helen organized this tea party to show off.

It was adorned with a gold crown set with rubies, giving her an air of undeniable nobility.
