Chapter 142: Only Her Chapter 142: Only Her “Forget about where they came from.

“I thought my influence might never reach these places.

And yet, here I am, standing in front of such luxury today.” “You have to wear these clothes,” she said again, turning to the girl with urgency.

But Nnenna, still shaken, shook her head.

“No,” she replied firmly.

“I don’t want to wear them.” Lady Rose looked at her in disbelief.

“Are you okay?” she asked, her tone filled with concern.

“Then, out of nowhere, a few months ago, he sends me studying materials and books, which only reached me two weeks ago.

And now, on the very day of the grand ball, he gives me clothes and various things from across the seas?!” Her chest rose and fell sharply as she scoffed.
