The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1284:

Brenna couldn’t help laughing. “Feeling jealous? Let’s go out for dinner tonight, my treat.”

Ellie perked up. “Then I want you to go all out. Let’s eat at Cloud Palace, the fanciest spot in Shirie! You’re paying for everything.”

Julia had spent ages tearing through wrapping paper, but even after all that work, only half the mountain of gifts had been opened. Gazing at the endless boxes, she realized this was going to take a team. Without hesitation, she called over two more maids for backup.
