Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680: Arwen would lose her chance completely.

In the party hall, after making her rounds and greeting everyone, Emily finally stopped in a corner. It was tiring, but to Selene, right now, more than tiring, all of this was frustrating.

This evening, this party, these guests —everything was for her.

Yet not a single person looked at her the way they should. She was meant to shine tonight, but their focus and attention were drawn to one woman.

Arwen.

And that was unbearably frustrating.

Emily’s fingers curled into fists as her gaze locked on Arwen, who stood there with an easy, almost serene expression. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

While she had to make an effort to approach and introduce herself to everyone, Arwen simply stood in one spot, and people came to her on their own —eager to start a conversation, eager to be in her presence.

Why don’t they treat them the same?

Wasn’t this party meant for her? Weren’t they all here to celebrate her important evening? Wasn’t she going to be the heiress of the Quinn family?

Then, why the hell were they all still flocking around her?

"Why?" Not realizing, she almost asked it aloud.

But fortunately, she stood far in the corner to get noticed. Her voice was barely heard by anyone except Karen, who was close to her.

When she raised her brow at her, Emily quickly apologized. "I ... I am sorry. I didn’t mean to speak that loud."

Karen shook her head before shifting her eyes to look at Arwen. Her eyes held the sparks of admiration that weren’t very hard to notice.

"She never needed to be a rich heiress to grab sub attention," Karen said, and Emily looked at her with a frown.

However, that small frown didn’t stop Karen from speaking the truth. "From the early years, Arwen was more recognized by her own merits than as the rich family heiress. From school to university, she had set the standards that were not easy to match. And today, after becoming the new leader of Davies International, she has only raised the standards. So, of course, people would surround her." She slowly turned to meet Emily’s eyes. "After all, they all know the benefit that would come from being around her."

Emily’s fingers only tightened. "But wasn’t this evening meant for me?"

Karen smiled and shook her head. "The evening is still yours. The people are here to celebrate it for you. But even so, that wouldn’t make them flock around you."

Emily wanted them to flock around her. She wanted them to surround her the same way they were surrounding Arwen. But ...

"Anyway, Mrs. Quinn has asked me to take you around and introduce you to everyone," Karen said, interrupting her thoughts. "I have done that. Now, you just have to wait for Mrs. Quinn to make the announcement. Once that’s also done, you will call the evening successfully complete."

Yes. This evening will be successfully complete.

So, what if Arwen took the attention that was meant for her? At the end of the day, she would be the heiress, and Arwen would lose her chance completely.
