Chapter 169: Horrible Habits

The next morning came. Adeline's schedule was occupied with castle duties, dress-fitting, and soon, nightfall quickly approached, and the banquet had begun. 

The banquet was the celebration of the month. Well-known businessmen and women were invited from all across the world, politicians from every corner of the continent, and only the most elite of celebrities were considered. 

A red carpet was placed at the most prestigious hotel of Wraith, with the celebration being held in a highly secured and secluded area. 

The ballroom was enormous, with ceilings that touched the sky, chandeliers aplenty, and ceiling-high windows. There was a hum of excitement in the air, as quiet chatter was heard amongst the privileged crowd.

Lydia Claymore was at the center of attention, mingling from person to person, all of whom were eager to be well-acquainted with her. She wore a confident smile, her haughtiness unmatched, and her presence intimidating.
