The Happy Life of a Duchess

Jenny took this matter very seriously, so much so that Adele heard Mary muttering secretly on the side more than once.

From Mary's point of view, she is really "too stupid". Finally, as a lady's personal maid, she can earn a little more wages than ordinary maids, and can often get some awards, and the lady herself is more generous, such a situation Now, she saved up five or six years, and when she was in her twenties, she happened to have enough dowry to marry generously.

Mary hasn't fully considered her future yet.

On the one hand, she has the will to become an excellent housekeeper like Mrs. Lude, but on the other hand, she has some longing for love and wants to marry a reliable husband.

In the first case, if she wants to achieve it, she must either stay in Bailu Manor and continue to work, and slowly prove her qualifications, or follow Adele who will marry in the future, and then stand firm after she arrives at her husband's house Heels, let's think about the rest.

Mrs. Lude will basically serve Bailu Manor and the Jurady family as her final home. Like the housekeeper, she is a very devout servant, but if Adele can't be well with her husband at the beginning The family has a foothold and needs some helpers. Mrs. Lude will definitely come to help. After she gets started, she will have a reliable maid behind her, and she will definitely return to Bailu Manor.

But different from the second option, the first option will inevitably make maids like Mary unable to marry early.

In other words, after Adele has gained a firm foothold in her husband's family, Mary can consider marrying a gentleman who is a reliable and loyal servant who is related to both families. Her future children will only serve as loyal servants. Both couples and families work.

It's not that being a loyal servant is bad, but Mary is still a little hesitant. She wants real love, and in her conception of the object of her fantasy, she never had the idea that the gentleman was born as a servant. I hope I can marry a wealthy son-in-law.

The most important thing is that at that time, Mary felt that she must be quite old, and she might not have the opportunity to marry until she was 25 or [-], which was inconsistent with Mary's own expectations.

But if she wants her career to go smoothly, she cannot marry so early.

But if Mary was to marry into an ordinary family and choose an ordinary clerk husband like Jenny, she would be a little unhappy.

Such an ordinary life is destined to ignore all the prosperity and luxury she sees before her eyes, and will draw a faint line with the world of nobles from now on, which makes Mary feel a little unwilling.

Jenny knew quite well that she would not stay at Juradi's house as a servant all the time.

Adele had said long ago that she would arrange for her to marry a good family, and she would also make up a dowry at that time.

Jenny herself can't save any money now—

She was originally a person who spent money lavishly and had no habit of saving money. She finally saved a little money and bought ingredients to learn how to cook and honor the master in the kitchen.

The few pieces of jewelry she had were bought by Mary under her pressure, or a few pieces given to her by Adele, which were enough for her to support the table.

But by the standard of marriage, this is far from enough.

Mary did some calculations, and she realized that maids of their level are not bad in appearance, even if they marry into an ordinary family, they must have some good jewelry, such as large necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, etc. Wait, there must be one or two pieces of high quality, then the total should be at least two or three thousand francs, not to mention whether you want a few more pieces that can be worn interchangeably.

Then when you marry someone else's family, you must have some other dowry other than jewelry, not to mention furniture, clothing, cloth or bright skirts. This is another two or three thousand, and finally some money that can be used for turnover, etc. .

That is to say, if there is no annuity like the young lady who can collect some rent every year, then it is almost necessary to bring at least five or six thousand francs of property to be able to marry the other party.

Most girls, perhaps relying on the dowry left by their mothers or given by their parents, can't fill the half of the hole, which is about two or three thousand.

But for both Mary and Jenny, that's unlikely.

The two of them basically have no chance of inheriting a large amount of dowry from their families.

Of course, the subsidized dowry given by the young lady is another matter.

Nominally, apart from the money they earn through their hard work, they are unlikely to have other income to accumulate dowry.

But the dowry such as jewelry is necessary for her children to inherit besides dressing herself up, and Mary is the kind that requires more refinement of herself, so naturally she counted it, as if the ones she had accumulated since she was a child were not enough to save and spend. Not to mention that like Jenny, she still gave out part of it. Now that Jenny wants to share more, she naturally feels a little "sympathetic" and doesn't understand.

However, in Jenny's heart, she always wanted to give back to the love and care that Sister Burns gave her.

She quickly put together the little money she had left in her private house, and sent it all to the nun, hoping that the nun could smoothly take back Helen Burns, that poor little niece who was not loved by her parents.

The [-] francs might allow her to spend a happy life in France in the future and make Sister Burns' life better. If she wanted, she could come to Paris with the nun.

Even if it is Notre Dame de Paris, which looks a little deserted and deserted now, Jenny wants to take the other two to have a look.

Adele was inspired by what happened with Jenny and her little niece.

In fact, she also had a little niece, but that little niece came from her deceased sister's family, and she was not very familiar with the Duke's father, but she thought that, no matter what, the conflicts between adults would not involve children, and that little girl was always innocent of--

Maybe one day she could go to Frankfurt to see Clara, or even better if her father could bring her to Paris.

Regarding this matter, Adele planned to ask the Duke's father seriously in the future.

But now, it's time to go to Baron Bernard's birthday party.

Adele asked Mary to help her remove the curls she had made from the appliance, and slowly smooth them out with a large comb.

Some of the clothes on the body have been put on, and when the hair is done, put on the panniers, and then "cover" the upper body of the skirt one by one.

"Do you want to bring the string of pink pearls?"

Mary only knew that Adele specially put the string of pink pearls bought from the jewelry store in another box, and took it out to look at it from time to time.

Mary always thought that it was for Adele to wear or give gifts to this banquet, but in fact she did nothing with this pearl, she bought a gift separately, and she was also wearing a yellow crystal set.

The quality of this set of natural citrine jewelry is all top-notch, and its high value is not inferior to any set of gemstone jewelry.

But what Adele likes more is its wonderful design. The hair ornament on her head is a ring like a headband. The frame is made of silver mixed metal hard material, and then the pattern is twisted with silver wire, surrounded by green square crystals. Twelve patterns form a string of "hairband" style headwear.

Adele's hair is brown and black, and the color of this citrine is clearer under the light, but at other times, it presents a thicker color feeling, so the visual effect of wearing it on the head is very good.

Necklaces, brooches, and rings are also decorated with elongated willow-like leaves adorning citrine.

All in all, a set looks good on the upper body, expensive and good-looking.

What she is wearing today is a relatively pure red long dress, which is so rare that it is punctual.

She didn't often wear extra heavy or bright colors before, and it's not that she didn't have such skirts, but as a newcomer, Mrs. Lude suggested that she should not go in the direction of "glamorous" at first, So don't use some heavy colors to leave an overly strong impression on everyone at the beginning.

But once you get used to it, it doesn't matter, not to mention the dark blue coffee color, even the crimson purple and vermilion can be worn casually, as long as it can be set off, as long as it looks good, you can wear anything.

As for why she dressed so brightly today, there are still some reasons.

Adele kept smiling, opened her arms, and asked Mary to help pull the dress around her waist.

This long red dress is made of satin, and the patterns on it are also very oriental.

It can be said that although the style is very French, the use of element patterns on the skirt is very mysterious oriental beauty. Adele also specially used embroidered hair bands made of the same silk and satin material to fix her hairstyle, and then inserted them one by one. hair accessories.

Red can set off her already fair complexion even more beautifully, just like fine white jade.

Adele is very satisfied with her slightly aggressive makeup, which is not so bright and charming before, but the new style is undoubtedly suitable for her, especially with the slightly narrow and charming black eyeliner, she is really Very happy with my look.

Mary's hands are really skillful, and her creative direction is not wrong. She can make her figure that is not exactly [-] points plump, but also [-] to [-] points plump, even more charming, and she can also make her temperament through the change of makeup. Take it to another level.

"You look so pretty today."

Mary's eyes lingered on the diamonds she had placed under the corners of her eyes.

The three sparkling and clear diamonds at this point reflect the clear and dazzling brilliance under the light, which only makes her look more charming and alluring.

As long as you catch a glimpse, it seems that there is no way to look away, and you will be robbed of your mind and attention in an instant.

Such an "erosive" attire only makes people feel that her charm has increased several times.

"It's just good-looking." Adele hooked her lips, "Today I must be the most beautiful one, otherwise why..."

What she said later automatically stopped. Mary was a little curious, but she didn't ask.

Adele will bring both Mary and Jenny with her when she goes out today. Mary is sure that she will know everything.

"Miss, I put all the things you asked me to prepare into the carriage."

Jenny knocked on the door and came in. She was already dressed neatly. Adele asked her to do something before. Although she was full of suspicion now, she still got it done.

"It's done?" Adele smiled deeper, her eyes were a bit cold, "That's great."

Jenny seems to have realized something. With her animal-like intuition, she can probably realize that the young lady might be looking for someone to trouble her. Looking at the current situation, she might even want to "squeeze" some people, so aggressive. The makeup only made her more imposing. If she wasn't smiling, she could make people feel majestic involuntarily, but Jenny couldn't think of anyone who had offended their lady so much.

Jenny thought for a while and couldn't understand it, but she remained silent.

She believed that Adele would not take the initiative to harm others. She was a kind and good lady, so someone must have bullied her before she would fight back.

Several people were sitting in a carriage at the back, and the Duke's father was sitting in the carriage in front. He didn't want to go at first, but he nodded because Adele expressed that he wanted to attend this banquet.

Without the duke's father, she can't go to any banquet alone, it's not polite.

The Duke's love for her is naturally indispensable. Seeing that she clicked on this invitation letter, the Duke naturally nodded in agreement.

Arriving at the venue, Adele already knew from the slightly astonished voices and eyes of the crowd that her intention had succeeded, and the effect was astonishingly good.

When she saw her, she clearly saw Miss Bernard showing a little surprised expression. When Adele looked over, she smiled covertly, and then explained:

"You look so attractive today, I didn't expect you to be so suitable for red."

Miss Bernard didn't have such a strong scheming mind, and when she blurted out the words, she knew that she probably said the wrong thing again.

Adele didn't mind, but Miss Bernard knew that some of her famous relatives probably didn't like to know.

On the contrary, Mrs. Bernard next to her was very warm towards the Duke's family.

This lady had always wanted to break into the circle of Mrs. Castellana and others, that is, Adele's circle, but she had never been recognized and nodded. She saw Adele who might lead her to realize this wish Naturally, he was even more excited.

It is also true that Mrs. Bernard is not very scheming, which makes her look very awkward at times, and even occasionally gives people the feeling that she is excluded by her husband and his family.

Maybe it's because her business background is too humble, and her existence is also very sensitive to Baron Bernard's family.

Apparently, the Bernard family didn't seem to have any noble sentiments either.

After getting the help of her dowry and her natal family's money, they were not so grateful to Mrs. Bernard who helped them out of bankruptcy, but after they got rich again, they pushed her out without a trace.

There should be some reason why she can't speak.

After being speechless by the embarrassment again, Adele couldn't help thinking.

Unlike her mother, Mrs. Bernard, who kept praising her, Ms. Bernard looked a little anxious. She was like an ant on a hot pot. Even if she tried her best to conceal it, people could see that she was absent-minded.

She wanted to leave with an excuse several times, but was refused by Mrs. Bernard abruptly, and she stayed here——

The only purpose is to want Miss Bernard and Adele to say a few more words.

Maybe she has no way to integrate into this circle, but she also very much hopes that her daughter can get acquainted with them.

The Duke and Adele came earlier, probably in the middle of all the guests.

They were not very familiar with Baron Bernard's family, but they didn't want to pretend to be behind on purpose. The main reason was that the Duke didn't want to make such a face, and Adele just didn't want to be there too late.

The Duvalls arrived around the same time as them.

After Adele was dragged to talk and chatted awkwardly for a few minutes, so that other guests came over to talk to Adele, the most beautiful young lady tonight, Mrs. Bernard felt that she was hindered from talking with her. Adele's illusion of connection.

After the arrival of the Duval family, Miss Bernard, who was still restless, suddenly calmed down.

Over there, Mr. Duval and Mr. Armand were entertained and talked by Baron Bernard himself. Adele only saw Mr. Duval's astonished expression when he saw her, but he was rejected because of what Baron Bernard said behind him. I interrupted, otherwise she could appreciate such a rare look for a few more seconds.

"Adele, you are so beautiful today, oh my God, I am so lucky to have a friend who is as beautiful as you." Morgana and Adele finished saluting each other, and she couldn't wait to say .

"Oh my god, is your broken diamond affixed, please teach me, can I take a closer look?"

Morgana's attention was completely attracted by Adele, and the other guests were also in the same situation. She could even imagine that women who were far away were also talking about her makeup, hair and clothing.

This is exactly what Adele wanted, she didn't want to be so high-profile, but——

"of course."

Adele approached Morgana with a smile.

"Oh my god, don't come so close to me, I won't be able to resist kissing you." Morgana covered her little heart, she even slowed down her breathing, and the air she blew brushed against Adele's skin, Instead, it became itchy, "Your skin is so good, so good, so delicate and fair."

"You're not bad, my Morgana."

Adele looked at her with a smile, Morgana's skin was indeed good, she rarely went out before, and naturally she rarely saw the sun, so it was natural for her to be very fair.

"No, no, that's different." Morgana shook her head, and carefully looked at the diamonds under her eyes for a while, "Oh my god, your hands are so delicate, I'm so envious, woo woo woo..."

"I'll make it for you next time too?" Adele suggested to her, it was so easy to talk to, Morgana really couldn't help rushing up to hug and kiss.

The intimate relationship between Adele and Morgana has been envied by the two hosts at the same time.

Adele knew very well that she was standing next to Mrs. Bernard of the master's house, and all the visiting guests would definitely notice this side, and then notice her next to her.

This time, there will be no one who has not seen it.

Miss Bernard was in love with Mr. Armand, Mr. Morgana's brother. Many people knew about it, and she didn't hide it much.

Everyone knows that she fell in love with Mr. Armand Duval at first sight at the private ball held by Mrs. Marianne Henley, but it wasn't that she was interested in him, so they could be together.

At least, Mr. Armand has always been very polite and restrained to her, and he doesn't seem to be tempted at all.

At this time, it is only reasonable for a man to propose to a woman, and there is no reverse. Moreover, if a woman confesses to the other party regardless of her reserve, but the other party refuses, it will be a very serious blow to her reputation.

Therefore, even though Miss Bernard has made it very obvious that she can't take her eyes off whenever Mr. Armand is present, always thinking about dancing with him, etc., she still dare not directly confront him in public Confession, because she knows that the result will only be rejection, then she is finished.

"It's really beautiful, can I learn it together?"

Miss Bernard's words were a bit abrupt, and she was a little blunt.

Adele and Morgana have a very good relationship to be able to say this kind of thing. It seems a bit natural for her to ask this suddenly.

But in fact, this is a method that Adele figured out by herself, and everyone can imitate it, but there is no reason for her to teach it to a lady with an ordinary relationship.

Morgana's face was a little strange for a moment, so that she subconsciously gave Miss Bernard a look in surprise.

On the other hand, Adele didn't seem to notice it, and took it naturally, and didn't agree to the matter. She just smiled and said that Miss Bernard's makeup was also very good-looking, and asked her what color the red lips were and where she bought the makeup Taste.

Miss Bernard didn't really want to know. In other words, her biggest goal was actually to talk to Armand's sister Morgana. With this premise, everything can be "ignored".

So, the three girls began to discuss the cosmetics and effects brought by the new Hungarian businessman, and tasted the new style of decoration with bird wings as a decoration that suddenly became popular in the clothing store recently. hat.

"Speaking of which, is your family still coming today?"

Morgana was a little surprised when she overheard the words of Mrs. Bernard, who was waiting for guests a little ahead.

"Yes, my grandmother will be here today."

Miss Bernard hardly responded to Morgana's words, and she very naturally revealed the "surprise" that the two couples had been trying to keep secret.

The smile on Adele's face stagnated slightly, she lowered her eyes, and after a while, she smiled as if nothing had happened, and asked:

"Is the old lady upstairs? Why don't you see me?"

"She's old and has low energy... I plan to let her rest for a while and come down later."

This is also to save face for her. Adele understood Miss Bernard's hidden meaning, and the intention of this kind of behavior is easy to guess, so she didn't hide it. Since everyone already knew that the old lady was going to appear, There is nothing more to say about the time.

When the old Baroness Bernard was young, because of her husband who was very good at managing, she also had a bit of "good karma" in the circle. At that time, her reputation was also good, and there were many people who praised her.

However, after Baron Bernard was middle-aged, he made a wrong investment and almost went bankrupt. Those who once surrounded them all dispersed.

After probing a few words, Adele already understood in her heart that this was really already planned, and the Bernard family knew about the old lady's return.

Miss Bernard didn't expect Adele to know what happened between the old lady and her mistress. In fact, as a lady in the boudoir, she herself hadn't been explicitly told about it.

He just knew that her grandmother was a little frightened, but it didn't affect her appearance today. This was a decision made by his father and his family members after discussion.

She covered the corner of her sneering mouth with a fan, and gave Jenny a look who hadn't left yet.

Jenny was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, saluted and left to go to work.

After a while, amidst the sudden hustle and bustle from outside, Adele curled her lips slightly.

She knew that the person she had been looking forward to was almost here.

The bright Miss Sophie Barley had a habit of being late to her family's balls.

This is also to show the closeness and friendliness between her and the master's family, and of course to use them to improve her own identity.

She has always been proud of her reputation as "the number one beauty".

The so-called beauty has some privileges, including being late.

She has always liked to engage in such small tricks, and Adele has indeed found out that when she asks Miss Bernard to go out, she is often half an hour late, which is also her habit.

But if Miss Bernard doesn't arrive on time, she will be unhappy if she waits for half an hour, but Miss Bernard can't afford to offend her, so she has to be a foil to her all the time. As for the other, that is Miss Ida Desi.

Sure enough, not just at other times before, including this time, she was late again.

Originally, as the princess, Adele didn't have to be there so early.

According to her and the duke's father's habits, they don't like being the last one to appear on the scene, and the finale is no longer the duke's father's preference. When he was young, he still liked to have this kind of style, but now up.

This time, it was just a little earlier, but not to the point of being weird.

If it is too early, the hosts will express surprise, and even feel that this is a kind of damage to their guest arrangements.

But this time, it was clearly not. Mr. Bernard just felt that their family was giving them a lot of face, so he pulled Mr. Duke to say a lot, expressing his gratitude and closeness.

The Duke's father was also used to this kind of scene, and he handled it very freely without arousing anyone's suspicion, nor did he have any doubts about his daughter's time and arrangements.

However, everyone present, including the party on the other side, did not expect this.

Miss Sophie Barley's arrival caused some uproar, and this strange "applause" was certainly not a good thing.

She herself realized this very quickly, and when she saw Adele, her expression suddenly changed.

Adele, who came early, and Miss Sophie Barry, who arrived late, actually wore a very similar dress.

They are all very positive and relatively rare red long skirts. They are very similar in shape and style. The only difference is that the patterns on the skirts are different. Adele's skirts have an oriental charm. picture of--

That kind of strange geometric figure that everyone doesn't know very well, but you can feel it is very interesting and mysterious when you look at it, and it comes with everyone's impression of the oriental filter.

But the pattern on Sophie Barry's skirt is not so innovative. It's just an ordinary pattern of flowers and birds, but in the same position. One is a pattern that looks very elegant and mysterious when everyone comes with a filter. Although the pattern that everyone is used to is good-looking but not innovative, of course it is clear at a glance which one is better.

If it's just that, then forget it.

Miss Adele was uncharacteristically, and made a relatively novel and very charming and sexy makeup. Although this is a bit unfair, it seems that Miss Sophie Barry, who came later, imitated Adele and made an equally clever Gorgeous makeup——

But I didn't learn the most essential points at all, such as the broken diamonds under the corners of the eyes, that's all there is.

That is, a plain, ordinary heavy makeup.

When Sophie Barry is at the ball, the more grand or important she is, the more she will wear heavy makeup.

These are all easy to investigate, and it is easy to know that Adele has done careful investigation, such as occasions where she will be late, she will basically dress in this way, in an attempt to "overwhelm the crowd".

Everyone was used to her attire, and of course there were others who did the same attire, but under the inexplicable similarity between the two people, especially because of the similarity of the skirts, it suddenly became one--

It's not scary to bump into a shirt, it's an embarrassing question who is ugly.

So, for an instant, the presence was silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, looking at each other repeatedly. It can be said that at that moment, from the moment Miss Sophie Barry stepped into the room, everyone was already evaluating and comparing the two.

In terms of temperament, Miss Adele is obviously more noble as a princess.

She has always been elegant and bright, and she did not show some arrogance-like traits due to the change in makeup. She is still very friendly, and she is not stingy with those who are curious about her makeup. After a while, many young ladies gathered Beside her and Miss Bernard, the hostess, a group of people naturally formed a circle to discuss makeup and hair with each other.

In terms of clothing, Miss Adele's dresses are obviously of better material.

Although the colors are rarely similar, the slight difference in the material makes the skirt show a different texture under the light. It is obvious that hers is better, and the patterns are also more mysterious, and special ones are always more attractive.

In terms of makeup, Ms. Adele's new makeup has received many inquiries. Everyone gathers around her to listen to her makeup skills. Her generous sharing can win everyone's favor, and her outstanding The astonishment that the makeup gave everyone did not fade away with a few more glances, probably a feeling that the more you look at it, the better it looks.

In this way, the later Miss Sophie Barry seemed to have no advantage at once.

This young lady, who has always regarded herself as the number one beauty, suddenly lost the qualification to be appraised as a "peerless beauty". Fat mediocrity.

Many gentlemen don't think so much like ladies, they just look at Miss Sophie Barley like this--

It seems that the halo that has been covering her head has suddenly disappeared, Miss Sophie Barry, why does it seem...

Not so good-looking?

At this time, Sophie Barry could still squeeze a smile on her face, even though her teeth were itching with hatred, the anger in her eyes was about to burst out.

Adele still admired her somewhat. In response, she smiled and nodded politely to her first.

So everyone suddenly remembered that Miss Sophie Barley was far inferior to the Duchess.

She is not the only young lady in Duke Juradi's family, nor does she have the status of a princess.

It turned out that such a young lady arrived later than everyone else...

"Pfft." I don't know which lady was the first to laugh, but the eerie silence was suddenly broken, and the dance scene returned to the original hustle and bustle.

Everyone was talking to each other as if nothing had just happened.

But is that really the case, of course not...

Miss Sophie Barry could almost feel the obvious scrutiny from everyone who thought they were covering up.

Of course, there are still many people who don't hide it at all because they have enough status.

For example, Mrs. Dressel and Mrs. Castellana, the direction they are pointing with their handkerchiefs is clearly facing the door. No one is at the door, except for the gentlemen of the host and the guests. Is it just Sophie Barry? !

She had never been so difficult to walk, it was like a thunderbolt suddenly hit her head, directly blinding her.

She hardly ever imagined that she would fall into such a situation one day, she has always been so confident and complacent, and has always been the center of the crowd——

It's not the center of this kind of topic that is discussed and derogated, it shouldn't be like this.

She should be the one praised by everyone!

"What's the matter, how did she dress up like you?"

Morgana frowned tightly.

The relationship between her and Miss Sophie Barry is not considered close, it can only be said that they knew each other. Going out shopping together was the only experience they had together. Afterwards, due to various reasons, she was unable to fulfill her other invitations. Although the communication has been maintained, but also because of this has always maintained a relationship that is not tight or loose.

The main reason is that although Morgana is not astute, she knows her family members quite well.

She keenly felt that her father, Mr. Duval, didn't seem to appreciate this lady very much. Once she mentioned her relationship with Miss Sophie Barley at home, and her father's frown at that time made her It left a deep impression.

Although the majestic father didn't say anything, and her brother couldn't say anything, Morgana was a daughter who was very good at watching people, especially her father, so she immediately drew a line for herself.

She set a "three-eighth line" for her relationship with Miss Sophie Barry in advance, and did not cross the boundary of this general social relationship.

So in this matter, she will of course be emotionally closer to the more familiar Adele.

The two have invited each other to play at each other's home, and they have been in contact many times. Her family members did not say anything wrong. Instead, Mr. Duval corrected him several times and always thought that "Miss Adele is dissatisfied with herself." Her older brother, Armand, only let him look at it objectively, and Morgana also felt that her brother was thinking too much, and Adele was a good girl.

Not just Morgana, but most people actually think that Miss Sophie Barry imitated Adele.

Some people thought it was a coincidence, but it was very unfortunate for this "No. [-] beauty", she was the one who was defeated.

"Can this also be called the 'first beauty'?"

I don't know where the sound came from.

Miss Sophie Barry paused slightly as she walked towards Adele.

Of course, Mrs. Bernard couldn't let her relatives be left alone, although she also felt in her heart that it was obvious that Miss Adele was better in terms of her attire today.

"Miss Adele, you look really good today. No wonder everyone tells me that you are the number one beauty in the circle today."

Everyone looked up, and Mrs. Costa walked over unhurriedly, shaking her fan. She had the feeling that no one could compare with her, and her aura of being a princess was even more obvious.

This proud lady has always been proud of her bloodline.

As if she didn't see Sophie Barry's embarrassing face, she smiled and stepped forward to hold Adele's hand.
