hapter 252

Ada’s wedding came to a close amongst a chorus of praises.

Evadne had truly hit the jackpot this time, bringing fame and fortune, reviving the K Orld Hotel from the brink of extinction in less than a year and even propelling it to new heights.

In half a year, she had impressively completed the tasks assigned by Emeric, even exceeding his expectations.

The first order of business, of course, was to return to Skyrim and claim her reward from Emeric!

Chuckles all around!

That night, Evadne went to pick up her younger sister, Nydia, from school, and they drove off towards Skyrim in a top–notch emerald–green Rolls–Royce.

The sisters joked and laughed in the car, their intimacy and joy were palpable.

“Evadne, I can’t believe that you’re actually the top jewelry designer, Alea!” Nydia exclaimed with a blush, clapping her hands in surprise.

“Hold your horses! I know what you’re about to say. You’re about to wax lyrical about your admiration for me, aren’t you?”

Evadne flipped her raven locks, lifting her nose slightly, “I’ve heard enough flattery, Nydia. If you want to ask me for some jewelry to play with, just say it.” “That’s not possible!”

Nydia shook her head vehemently, cheeks turning rosy, “You’re Alea, only international celebrities get to wear your designs. You could give Daryl a piece of jewelry. I heard from Mom and Dad that Daryl’s husband is about to become the President of Helgen. The First Lady wearing your jewelry wouldn’t be a disgrace, would it?”

“To outsiders, Alea is a celebrity, but to our family, it’s just a name.”

Evadne raised an eyebrow in feigned arrogance, pulling her little sister into a side hug, “When you go back to school, you can boast all you want. Your sister is Alea. Once they know it, they’ll be lining up to butter you up.”

Nydia thought about the rumors about her at school, and how Bernard had been subtly challenging her.

Unable to help it, she was about to cry, but she quickly put on a brave face, biting her lip tightly.

“Speaking of which, I really miss Daryl.”

Evadne and Nydia huddled together, their eyes gleaming, “I wonder if Daryl’s husband is treating her well. If he dares to mistreat her, I’ll shred him into spicy shredded pork!”

“I guess you won’t need to, Evadne. Cassius, Arnold, Bennett, Elvis, Aaron and Dad, none of them would let him off the hook.” Nydia joked.

Yeah, that sounded about right.

Daryl’s husband probably wouldn’t be foolish enough to try his luck with the brutal punishments of the Ashbourne family.

“Huh? Evadne, why isn’t Jason with you?” Nydia had been looking for Jason ever since she got in the car. She finally mustered up the courage to ask.

“Oh, he’s been really tired lately, so I gave him a break.” Evadne replied nonchalantly, giving nothing away.

Their car smoothly entered the gates of Silverlake Harbor.

As the sisters stepped out of the car, they ran into Mr. and Mrs. Dempsey with their three sons, who were also walking towards them.

Evadne hadn’t known that Emeric had invited the Dempsey family over for dinner that night. She was slightly surprised, but quickly composed herself.
