ust like that, three days flew right by

Chapter 181

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.
