CHAPTER 399
The music drifted low in the background, elegant and soothing, as Persis sat across from Ophelia with a glass of deep red wine in hand. The golden light of the chandeliers bathed them both in warmth, though Persis’s eyes kept straying toward the hallway leading to the children’s section.She was worried about Bianca. In all the time Persis had been with her, she hadn’t once seen Bianca call another child a friend. No one ever visited her at the main estate either. It was as if Bianca lived in her own little world, one where she had no one but Persis and the adults around her.Ophelia leaned gracefully against her chair, swirling her drink lazily. “You’re awfully restless,” she noted, her gaze sharp despite her casual tone. “What’s bothering you?”Persis set her glass down lightly. “I think I should check on Bianca. She’s been gone for a while.”Ophelia arched a brow, lips curving in faint amusement. “You worry too much. The place is secure—no one gets past the staff here. Nothing will
CHAPTER 398
Bianca sat cross-legged in front of her puzzle, her chin resting on her palm. The pieces were scattered, untouched. Around her, the other children leaned over their puzzles, brows furrowed, tongues poking out in concentration.The air buzzed with frustration, especially from the two boys on the other side of the table who were clearly struggling.The adult supervisor glanced at Bianca and frowned. “Miss, why haven’t you started yours? Everyone else is almost halfway done.”‘Halfway done?’ Bianca looked around. There was no way they were halfway. The ones who looked like they were, weren’t even fitting the pieces correctly—their puzzles would fall apart soon enough.Bianca tilted her head lazily, her expression bored. “Because it’s too easy. What’s the point of rushing through something I can do with my eyes closed?”To her, the puzzle was child’s play. Most kids she knew could finish it just as quickly. She didn’t understand why the kids here were struggling so much.The two boys imm
CHAPTER 397
The room fell into a charged silence as Ophelia’s voice rang clear, commanding every heart to listen. She let the pause linger, her gaze sweeping across the sea of faces before finally speaking.“This gathering tonight,” she announced, her voice carrying both grace and authority, “is not just another event. It is a celebration. A welcome.” She let her eyes shift toward Persis, and at once, the spotlights tilted, spilling golden light over her figure.“Tonight, we welcome back Persis Damon to Greece.”Gasps and murmurs rippled instantly through the crowd, whispers threading through the silence as people exchanged startled looks. The name carried weight, history, and a story many thought long buried.All eyes turned to Persis, wait
CHAPTER 396
Not only had the buttons at the chest given way, exposing her undergarments, but the fabric stuck to the glue was also starting to tear. If it ripped further, even more would be revealed.Dione screamed in horror, but Ophelia showed no mercy. She pulled her even harder, and the sharp sound of fabric tearing echoed throughout the hall.Her skirt gave way with a loud rip, and Dione’s backside was suddenly exposed to the crowd. The air seemed to freeze for a moment before a wave of gasps swept through the room.Her friends were so stunned they couldn’t move, their faces drained of all color. They simply stood there, mouths agape, unable to comprehend what had just happened.Around them, the guests erupted into murmurs. A few hands shot up, phones already recording the humiliating scene. The clicks of shutters and faint chuckles filled the air.The men at the front sneered openly.“Didn’t she say some of us weren’t
CHAPTER 395
The moment Dione landed, the sharp sound of fabric sticking to glue echoed through the hall. Her eyes widened in horror, her body stiff as she realized she was firmly stuck.She hadn’t expected Persis to put her directly on the chair. She had anticipated a slap or a glare, thinking she could twist the situation to her advantage. But Persis had simply placed her on the seat, avoiding both of the options they had planned.‘That bitch!’ Dione cursed silently.Her stunned friends recovered first.“Dione!” they shrieked, rushing to her side. Their shocked voices rippled through the hall, turning heads and sparking murmurs among the guests.Nyssa spun toward Persis, eyes blazing. “How could you?! She invited you so kindly, and this is how you repay her?!”Thalia clutched Dione’s arm, glaring. “You bullied her just because she was welcoming? What kind of person does that?”Persis ar
CHAPTER 394
“We’re here,” Ophelia said, a large smile on her face as she brought the car to a halt.The car had finally stopped in front of the building where the event was being held. Since she had left Persis and Bianca at her private villa, she had decided to pick them up and drop them off at the venue. With the others already at the event, she didn’t want them to be late and had taken it upon herself. Her brother could handle the guests in her absence.Persis gave a small nod before gracefully stepping out of the car, Bianca’s tiny hand clasped firmly in hers. The evening air was cool, filled with the faint hum of chatter and music drifting from within the grand building.Ophelia rounded the car and joined them, her smile widening with excitement.“This event is one of the highlights of the season,” she explained warmly as they ascended the marble steps together. “I wanted everything to feel grand but welcoming.
