The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 311

After finding out that the kind madam was in Rosewood Hotel's presidential suite, Xanthe decided to visit her. The hotel lobby had a fancy shopping mall, so Xanthe browsed luxury boutiques, picking up two beautiful accessories before heading to the top floor. Xanthe followed well-trained bodyguards to the stunning rooftop conservatory, where she found Eve painting under the bright moonlight. "Good day, Madam," Xanthe greeted politely.

Eve looked up from her canvas, smiling at Xanthe's cheerful greeting. When Xanthe saw Eve's face, she felt momentarily breathless. Eve thought, "This girl is so beautiful, so young, so graceful... But something about her seemed familiar

Noticing Eve's curious gaze, Xanthe quickly added, "I really appreciate you reselling the Rippling Heart to me; I brought a small gift for you."

Eve recognized the elegant packaging as a recent limited edition, her smile growing. Xanthe's thoughtful gift was a stark contrast to the last woman, who barely hid her greed.

"Ms. Sullivan, you're too kind. It's just skincare products; they're not worth much. You shouldn't have brought a gift," Eve replied.

"I had to make connections everywhere to get this set, and your generosity made it possible!"

"I haven't used such products in over a decade; they feel too much. At my age, just a splash of water works," Eve said, her eyes crinkling with warmth.

Xanthe's eyes widened in disbelief. "You haven't used skincare for over ten years? Wow, your skin looks amazing!"

Eve raised an eyebrow, and the bodyguards stepped in closer, their demeanor cautious.

Realizing her mistake, Xanthe stepped back, cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry! I startled you..." She had alarmed the bodyguards too.

Eve blinked, trying to suppress a laugh. "No, you didn't scare me at all." She waved the guards away, leaving just the two of them on the terrace.
