Chapter 220:
In the world of high society, appearances were everything, and the stakes at such events were sky-high. A poor choice in attire could make Sonya the subject of merciless gossip, the kind that would bar her from future gatherings.
At the party, the competition would be fierce. Every young lady would be dressed to the nines, each striving to outshine the rest like stars vying for dominance in the night sky.
Sonya was ready this time. She had prepared meticulously, her confidence bolstered by years of anticipation. This wasn’t just another party for her—it was her stage, her moment to dazzle and leave an impression no one would soon forget.
Meanwhile, Yelena returned home to find the place bustling with activity, Cayson having just come back from his business trip.
As soon as he spotted her, Cayson flashed a warm smile and asked, “Yelena, where have you been? I sent you a message p>
Yelena checked her phone and realized, to her dismay, she’d forgotten to turn off silent mode.
“Sorry, Cayson! I must’ve accidentally put it on silent. When did you get back?” she apologized.
“I’ve been back for a bit. I was hoping to surprise you,” Cayson replied, his voice tinged with a hint of disappointment.
“Well, you still did surprise me! I didn’t expect you back so soon. If I had known, I would’ve returned earlier.” Yelena reassured him with a smile, easing his concerns.
“You’re worth all the love in the world,” Cayson said, his eyes lighting up. “Come on, let me show you the gift I brought from my trip p>
Yelena chuckled and teased, “I already have more gifts than I know what to do with p>

“Is there ever such a thing as too many gifts? This time, it’s a one-of-a-kind pink diamond necklace.” Cayson grinned, eager to present her with something truly special.
For the past ten years, they had always felt they owed Yelena for not being there with her, and no matter how many extravagant gestures they made, it never seemed enough.
Cayson was a loving brother who never hesitated to go the extra mile, always hunting for the most unique treasures to spoil Yelena with.
Donna, who had been quietly observing, smiled and chimed in, “Yelena, darling, you should definitely take it. It’ll be perfect for the upcoming party p>
Yelena paused, furrowing her brows in curiosity. “What party p>
These high-society events seemed to pop up all the time, and Yelena couldn’t help but wonder who was behind this particular one.
Yelena wasn’t fond of these gatherings at all. She found them to be overflowing with pretense, cutthroat competition, and the kind of mockery she couldn’t stomach. But as a member of the Harris family, she knew she had no choice but to attend. Social obligations were just part of the deal.
“Yes, I was going to mention it. It’s an annual event, and all the city’s socialites will be there. Just wear something stunning and enjoy yourself—it’s one of those events you can’t miss!” Donna said, her chest puffed with pride as she gazed at her daughter’s beautiful face. Filled with pride, she believed her daughter would undoubtedly outshine everyone at the event with her beauty.
Yelena, sensing the unspoken expectations, gave a soft nod and replied, “Alright, Mom, I get it p>
