Chapter 299: Impress Irene

"Elsie darling, I must say you look stunning."

"Elsie, you look amazing. You never fail to impress as always."

"Your Luncheon shines just like your personality, Elsie Lancaster. What an impressive woman you are."

"Darling, you look perfect! And what a well-thought-out Luncheon you have here. Everything from the design down to the food is perfect!"

"Well, thank you."

"Thank you so much."

"You flatter me. Thank you so much."

"It’s nothing, ma. Thank you."

That was Elsie Lancaster responding to the countless compliments she received from the parents in attendance of the Luncheon. And as expected, she basked in the attention.

Truly, Elsie looked stunning in the custom liquid gold silk gown that was tailored to perfection. The fabric clung to her perfectly like molten metal, rippling each time she took a step.

For the elites, the color of the day was liquid gold, but it was not surprising that Elsie dressed the best and was easily the star of the occasion. She was queen bee, after all.

Her fitted gown had a high neckline, accented with an elaborate mock neck collar embroidered in delicate gold thread and encrusted with tiny opals. The sleeves were long and slightly flared at the wrist, with slits lined in soft pearl mesh.

She wore the dress with champagne-gold stilettos, while her silver-colored hair was styled in a classic low chignon. It was sleek and had a twist of golden thread braided in it. Not even a single strand was out of place.

Of course, for jewelry, Elsie wore diamond stud earrings and a thin gold bracelet engraved with legacy names that she wore for flex.

Elsie was so stunning that it left people wondering—if she looked this perfect for a simple Luncheon, how then would she look at the Gala Night? It was bewildering.

But on the contrary, the arrangement was not as perfect as people thought.

"Where’s Violet and co?" She hastily asked Grace after she had successfully disentangled from a parent who had held her attention in a long boring talk.

"I have no idea." Grace answered.

"What do you mean you have no idea....?!" Elsie snapped at first only to realize she was in an event where all eyes were on her. She looked at the closest parents and flashed her a charming smile, hiding the turmoil inside of her. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

She needed Violet and her pack of rogues in a place where her eyes could track them. And so far, she had not seen them.

Elsie leaned closer to Grace and whispered, "Find them. Find her in particular." She didn’t say Violet’s name, but the venom in her tone made it unmistakably clear.

But Grace said, "Do we even need her? The Luncheon is going perfectly already and the parents love you..."

Grace trailed off, instinctively taking a step back when Elsie’s features darkened so dangerously it scared her.

Elsie must have noticed it too, because she calmed down at once. Then, intentionally, she placed her hand over Grace’s hand and gave it a small squeeze. But she let her hand linger there before slowly tracing soft circles.
