The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 115

At that moment, it seemed like Sheila had spotted a familiar face in the crowd. Quickly, she turned to Ellinor and said, “Ellinor, find yourself a spot to chill out; I’ve gotta go chat with a friend. Heads up, don’t mess with this stuff, if you break something, you might not be able to foot the bill.”

“Got it.” Ellinor nodded in a rather nonchalant way

Then, Sheila picked up a glass of red wine and elegantly sauntered over to an intellectual looking middle aged man, raising her glass in a toast and greeting him

The middle–aged man seemed thrilled to see her approach, his eyes filled with affection. They seemed to be having a real blast chatting

Ellinor stood where she was, picked up a glass of juice from the buffet table, took a gentle sip to wet her throat, and squinted slightly as she observed Sheila’s every move

It wasn’t usual for Sheila to bump into someone she knew here, and it seemed like she had a pretty tight relationship with this guy.

Something fishy was definitely going on!

Sheila must have scored the invitation to Pearl Moon thanks to this middle–aged guy

And it was very likely that Sheila’s recent comeback and reputation rehab had something to do with this man’s help.

Sheila and her mom, Tracy, were always pretty flashy. If they had known a guy like this, they would have milked it way sooner and not wait till now.

So, this suggested that they’ve only recently got acquainted with this guy.

But how did they meet?

Just as Ellinor was absorbed in her observations and thoughts, she overheard some nasty chitchat nearby.

“Look at that girl, her outfit is just so basic!”

“Good god Who let her in? She doesn’t fit in at Pearl Moon at all!”

“Exactly‘ How could she show up dressed like that and with such a dowdy braid!”

“Let’s go and check out whose daughter she is!”

Soon, a group of dolled–up, pretty girls circled around Ellinor.

“Sweetie! Who did you come with?”

“We’re regulars at Pearl Moon parties, how come we’ve never seen you before?”

Ellinor snapped out of her thoughts, raised an eyebrow at them, didn’t say a word, and just walked off.

The rich girls felt affronted when she ignored them and they chased after her to stop her.

“Hey! We’re talking to you!”

Ellinor was indifferent, “What do you want?”

“Do you have an invitation to be here?”

“Nope”

“So, how did you get in?”

“Just walked in.”

“Do you know who’s hosting tonight’s banquet?”

“Nope Ellinor absentmindedly picked up a small cake from the dessert buffet, paying no mind to these drama queen rich girls.

Seeing her only concerned about food and drink, the rich girls jumped to a conclusion. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“She’s a freeloader!”

“No wonder she’s dressed so poorly!”

“Do you want to leave on your own, or should we have you kicked out?”

Ellinor remained calm and kept eating her cake. “I’m not leaving”

“You’re not planning on leaving? Then we’ll have to kick you out!”

“Someone help! There’s an intruder!”

“Where’s security? We need help!”

“What’s going on? Why all the commotion?” A deep male voice suddenly came from behind them.
