NOVPUBChapter 917: 442 Merlin_3 Chapter 917: 442 Merlin_3 “I heard long ago about the unparalleled beauty of the ten-mile plum blossoms at Dreamy Villa. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Seeing it today confirmed those praises were not unfounded,” Madam Elijah exclaimed.
“Indeed, it was well worth the trip today.”
“Everyone, please make yourselves at home.
The real host hasn’t arrived yet.” Madam Elijah took a seat next to the host chair, with Madam Gatten and Alexa Gatten on either side of her.
Madam Elijah took Alexa Gatten’s hand and asked with a smile, “How old are you this year?”
Alexa Gatten elegantly replied, “I just turned twenty-one.”
Madam Elijah nodded approvingly, “You truly are a fine young lady, there must be a lot of young men pursuing you at school, right?”
Alexa Gatten bashfully shook her head, “Madam, you jest.”
“I was just teasing you,” Madam Elijah gently patted her hand.
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
Alexa Gatten shook her head again.
Hence, the smile on Madam Elijah’s face grew even more radiant, her eyes revealing a hint of deep thought.
...
Among the circle of young girls, the Gattens’ daughter was the most decent and caught her liking the most.
His nephew, Daniel, with his eccentric temperament, must get married soon.
He needed a wife to take care of him.
He grew up without a mother and had to fend for himself under his stepmother, who was as heartless as they came.
It was already a blessing that she didn’t give Daniel trouble.
How could she be expected to find him a good match?
That task fell to Madam Elijah.
In terms of appearance, temperament, or family background, there was nothing that could be faulted about Alexa Gatten.
If Daniel could establish a relationship with her, it would be more than perfect.
As for the trickster, he should stay far away.
Madam Gatten cast a glance at Madam Elijah, and then at Alexa Gatten.
Sensing something, she discretely clenched her fingers.
“It’s not urgent.
Fate will have its way.” Madam Elijah said with a smile on her face.
Alexa Gatten nodded in agreement, “What Madam Elijah says is true.”
Lexi Benz rolled her eyes and murmured, “Bootlicker.”
She felt a bit disgruntled.
In Pethkids, among these high-profile women, the most distinguished was Virginia Frost, followed by Madam Elijah.
These two were always the targets of flattery by the city’s socialites.
Since Virginia Frost’s scandal, Madam Elijah has been the only woman in the spotlight.
Lexi was unable to butter her up, yet Alexa Gatten was smoothly conversing with Madam Elijah.
This really bothered her.
Solene Moore smirked, “I heard from my brother that Madam Elijah’s nephew has come to Pethkids.
He has been causing a ruckus over a woman and was confined to the house by Madam Elijah.”
Emeric Moore was a social butterfly with many connections.
Nothing that happened in the Pethkids socialite circle could escape his keen ears.
Lexi Benz curled her lips in disdain.
She didn’t think much of Madam Elijah’s nephew.
He wasn’t as appealing as Dr.
Aria.
Besides, she had no interest in a man who still bore feelings for another woman.
Let Alexa Gatten fall into that trap, she thought.
“Madam, I’ve spoiled this child.
She is too outspoken.” Madam Gatten apologized with a smiling face.
“Not at all,” Madam Elijah replied.
“I really like Alexa.
She should come over to my house when she has the time.”
Alexa Gatten knew that Madam Elijah was very fond of Aubree Groove and often invited her to talk about Zen at home.
Why did Madam Elijah suddenly take a liking to her?
“Ladies, my apologies for being late.” Aubree Groove came in, hand in hand with two young girls.
Upon seeing the black dress Aubree wore, Jenny Linggo’s face darkened with jealousy.
Lexi Benz nearly laughed.
It wasn’t a big deal to wear the same dress, but who looked ugly in it, that was another matter.
Jenny Linggo had even bragged about an exclusive design.
How shameless!
The elegant black gown adorned with silver lotus patterns shimmered brilliantly as she moved.
It gave her an air of mysterious grace.
In white, she was a pure, ethereal fairy.
But in black, she was a mysteriously alluring spirit, a gaze that struck like Death’s scythe, directly clutched at the throat.
The deep, abyss-like black color highlighted her skin’s porcelain-like whiteness, almost translucency under the sunlight.
As she moved, a picture of elegant nobility was painted with her every step.
Against the backdrop of the ten-mile plum grove, she was the star.
Jenny Linggo clenched her fists discreetly, wishing she could tear apart her fashion designer.
Although the color and design of their dresses were the same, the effect when worn was vastly different.
Before Aubree Groove arrived, Jenny Linggo was certainly a cool beauty.
But after seeing Aubree’s grace, looking at Jenny Linggo again immediately brought the idiom ‘the dove impersonates the crow’ to mind, as if it was coined specifically for her.
Jenny Linggo wished she could hide in a hole.
“You became even more beautiful in just a few days, Aubree.
I almost didn’t recognize you,” Madam Elijah exclaimed.
The ignorant beauty was a powerful weapon, making other beauties present pale in comparison.
No matter how dazzling the colors were, they could not match the classic solid color.
It’s a sign of purity, simplicity, composure, and mastery over time.
