Chapter 370
She had several messages, all asking if she was finished with her work and if she could make it to the Blackwood family’s dinner party.
Brianna had even sent a sticker of a sad, waiting face.
Even through the screen, Serena could imagine the little girl pouting, her face a picture of unhappiness as she sent the message.
She smiled and quickly sent Brianna a voice message: “Be there soon p>
Not a minute after the message was sent, a video call popped up.
It was Nicholas.
Serena raised an eyebrow.
She had replied to Brianna, but the call was from Nicholas.
It seemed Brianna had failed to snatch the phone.
Serena accepted the call, stepped on the gas, and continued driving.
The man on the screen was wearing a dark red suit that further accentuated his exceptionally noble face, lending him an alluringly aloof charm.
The brilliant crystal lights shone down on him.
From a distance, the suit looked black, but up close, it revealed an undercurrent of deep red.
His deep, intense eyes were filled with a radiant smile as he gazed at her.
“Are you driving?” the man’s cool voice came through the phone, exceptionally magnetic. “Drive safe. See you in a bit. Text me when you get here, and I’ll come get you p>
Serena grunted in acknowledgment.
Then, she heard Brianna’s protesting shouts in the background, trying to talk to her. But just like that, the video call ended.
Serena smiled.
Right. No talking and driving. A rule everyone should follow.
She sped onward.
Outside one of the Blackwood family’s estates, luxury cars were lined up, and the cream of society had gathered.
The Wynn family stood outside the magnificent, imposing gates, staring at a scene they had only ever seen in top business magazines. Their. hearts pounded with excitement, and they felt so out of place they
didn’t know what to do with their
hands and feet.
They were so stunned they couldn’t tear their eyes away.
They considered themselves a wealthy family.
But in front of a truly elite family, they felt as insignificant as ants.
This kind of grandeur p>
If it weren’t for Hailey befriending the fiancée of the Blackwood family’s heir-the young princess of the Lancaster family, Vaelion City wealthiest they would never have even dreamed of setting footin a place like this.
Thinking this, Patrick’s gaze on Hailey grew even more fervent. “Hailey, you truly are a wonderful daughter p>
Marianne grasped Hailey’s hand. “My dear daughter, you’re the Wynn family’s lucky star! These these are the real top-tier elites! In the future, we’ll be one of them p>
Hailey’s eyes were glued to the resplendent estate before her.
Her breathing grew ragged, and her hands trembled.
The Blackwood family p>
This was the Blackwood family!
A family with enough power to bring the entire city of Vaelion—no, the whole nation of Elyndor to its knees!
She, Hailey… had set foot in this place that symbolized ultimate power and prestige.
Hailey desperately wanted to take out her phone, snap a picture of the magnificent mansion, and post it with a location tag.
Her social standing… would definitely skyrocket!
“Hailey, look. Took at those cars. Each one is easily worth tens of millions,” Marianne said, her eyes gleaming as they scanned the
surrounding itxury vehicles
Hailey,
you need to keep your eyes peeled Everyone who can attend Miss Blackwood’s coming-of-age party is from the world’s top elite families. Any single one of them… is someone we wouldn’t have even been worthy of looking up to in the past p>
