Chapter 197

When Carisse entered the venue, she was the center of attention.

Many of the officials wives had already paid her a visit, but seeing

A splash of green on her earlobes only enhanced her spring–like beauty, making her stand out among the finely dressed noble ladies present.

Jessica, who had also dressed up for the occasion, wore a gold- threaded pleated skirt, a pale pink silk gown embroidered with peonies, and a red coat adorned with intricate gold and silver threads. Her hair was styled in an elaborate updo, decorated with pearls and gemstones, reflecting the height of luxury and splendor.
