Ada arrived in Elmsworth on schedule, causing quite a stir in the local and international scene.

On the day of the banquet, Glynnis had her eye on a fancy purple haute couture dress early on. She took great care with her hair, looking as stunning as always.

But killing her was out of the question. Unless she was driven to the wall, she wouldn’t stoop to such measures.
