The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 730:

No matter how much Elsa tried to cheer her up, she couldn’t shake the heavy weight of failure.

However, Kenny had been the one source of warmth in her life lately. She thought back to the first time she was supposed to meet Ethan for their blind date, only for him to leave her waiting all day without showing up.

In a last-ditch effort, she had gone to his workplace just to catch a glimpse of him, and that was when she had been utterly swept away by him. It had been love at first sight.
