He suppressed his emotions. “Where is she? Why would she be here?”
Could she have followed them?
Hailey keenly picked up on the excitement in his voice.
What was Logan so excited about?
Excited to see Serena again?
Hailey’s expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly put on a worried look. “I don’t know. I was following her, wanting to ask if the Lancaster family canceled their contract with us because of her. If so, I wanted to beg her, maybe…”
“It absolutely has nothing to do with her!” Marianne cut her off with a disgusted tone. “Who knows what man she latched onto to get into Obsidian Palace last time? Even if she did manage to hook some rich and powerful man, he’d just be toying with her. Why would he go so far as to get the Lancaster family involved for her sake?”
Her malicious speculation sounded nothing like it was coming from someone who had been Serena’s mother for four years.
Instead, she spoke as if she were talking about an enemy.
The undisguised malice and disgust were practically overflowing. “Even if she’s here at Le Céleste now, it must be because some old man brought her here to see the world.”
“She is really going through a lot just to stay in Vaelion City,” Hailey murmured, her face a mask of concern.
“Don’t talk about that jinx,” Marianne said with a look of pure disgust. “She’s nothing but bad luck. We have to meet with someone from the Lancaster family, the richest in Vaelion City, later. We can’t let Serena ruin this for us!”
The Wynn family sat in the main hall, their eyes glued to the entrance.
They stared so intently it seemed their eyes would pop out.
They waited and waited.
