Gradually, mocking voices rose around them.
"Tsk, wasn’t it said that Faye Sterling invited the Queen? Turns out she didn’t."
"Exactly, and she still had the nerve to go up and greet her, isn’t that shameless."
"I almost believed it earlier, what an unexpected twist."
"The Queen must be utterly speechless; what a disgrace!"
George Sterling and Rosalie Ray’s faces turned red.
Rosalie hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Faye Sterling aside, and whispered, "Faye, what exactly is going on? Didn’t you say you invited the Queen?"
Now that the Queen actually denied this, the Sterling Family had completely lost face!
"I... I don’t know either."
Faye Sterling shook her head, her complexion fluctuating between red and white.
Suddenly, Rosalie seemed to think of something and said, "Could it be Alaric who invited the Queen?"
If that’s the case, then the Sterling Family wouldn’t lose face, after all, Faye Sterling is the mother of the Faulkner Family’s little heir.
With the relationship between Alaric Faulkner and Faye Sterling, the Queen’s invitation could be seen as Faye’s doing.
George Sterling agreed immediately, nodding, "It must be Alaric who invited her!"
Besides Alaric Faulkner, who else here would have the capability and power to invite someone from The Royal Family?
The three of them once again displayed a faint smile on their faces.
George Sterling addressed the Queen, "It must have been Alaric who invited you, right? I’m Alaric’s father-in-law."
The Queen looked at George Sterling and said, "It wasn’t Mr. Faulkner who invited me, it was a lady."
George Sterling’s face froze, standing there awkwardly, wishing the ground would swallow him up.
So it wasn’t Alaric Faulkner either!
At this moment, everyone had been standing at the door with the Queen for a long time, and the person the Queen was waiting for hadn’t arrived yet.
Suddenly, a car slowly drove into everyone’s view, stopped steadily, and a woman stepped out of the car. Discover more novels at NovelHub(.)net
It was the fashionably late Anne Adler.
She wore a small evening dress with her hair neatly styled up, a few strands playfully hanging by her cheeks, infusing an air of cuteness.
Faye Sterling seemed to find her backbone and immediately stepped forward.
"Master, you’re finally here!" she warmly wrapped her arm around Anne’s, speaking sweetly and intimately.
Now only Anne could help her regain some face.
From Faye Sterling’s words, everyone immediately knew Anne’s identity — the renowned jewelry designer, Anne Adler.
With Faye holding her arm, Anne’s cheeks twitched. She really wanted to shake her off but remembered Eleanor Sterling’s instructions and had to forcibly endure it.
"Traffic jam on the way, so I arrived a bit late," she explained with a forced smile.
Meanwhile, she inwardly complained, it was Eleanor who knew she was impulsive, thought Faye might cause trouble, worried she’d ruin her plans, and thus didn’t let her come early.
Anne immediately spotted the Queen standing there and asked, surprised, "Queen, why are you here? Are you waiting for my Master?"
At those words, everyone was startled.
Faye Sterling was even more excited as she questioned repeatedly, "Master, what do you mean by that? Is Master Yuna also coming? And the Queen was invited by her?"
Anne hesitated, secretly sticking out her tongue.
Luckily, she hadn’t ruined the plan, almost let it slip!
No wonder Eleanor didn’t want her to come early, her mouth really was uncontrollable.
She cleared her throat lightly and smiled, "Of course she’s coming."
Faye Sterling had just lost a lot of face, but now she regained her confidence through Anne.
As long as someone related to her invited the Queen, then she wouldn’t be humiliated.
Moreover, soon her Grandmaster, Master Yuna, who is also Anne’s master, would come.
She could already imagine being revered like the moon surrounded by stars.
Now the people’s looks at her had shifted from ridicule to admiration and respect.
When Yuna arrives, she plans to persuade Master Yuna to join forces with Anne against Eleanor Sterling.
