Chapter 6

94%

Hailey’s true identity had always been a mystery.

Rumors swirl–some said she was the love child of someone important, while others insist she was the daughter of Aiden’s

ex–wife.

No matter what the truth was, the media had been chasing her every move, desperate for a glimpse of the elusive young Lady.

Under the cover of night, a sleek black sedan pulled up to the club.

The door swung open, and Selena and Eliza stepped out, arm in arm, clearly the picture of sisterly love.

Selena looked like a dream in her starry gown–its layers of deep blue shimmering under the lights, absolutely breathtaking. Her hair was done simply but elegantly, a soft curl that made her look effortlessly chic.

Compared to her, Eliza kind of faded into the background, but she seemed totally fine with it–probably used to being the sidekick by now.

The two sisters strolled into the club, while photographers lurked in the shadows, snapping shots of every moment Selena passed through.

The club had two entrances–one in the front, one in the back. Most people go in through the back to avoid the paparazzi, but tonight? The front entrance was packed with stars.

As guests filtered in, there was still no sign of the Dalton family’s car. Half an hour later, a black sedan finally rolled up–it was the Dalton family’s official ride.

The four major families had their own distinct license plates, and the press could spot them from a mile away.

The car door opened, and the first thing everyone noticed were long, flawless legs.

Then, a young woman in a crescent–white gown stepped into the spotlight. It was Hailey.

Her hair was elegantly pinned up, and she wore pearl earrings that perfectly matched her dress.
