My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 58

Emily Blair straightened her back, hands clasped loosely in front of her waist. Her smile was faint, barely touching her eyes.

Only when she stood did everyone get a clear look at her evening dress.

It couldn’t compare to the one Isabella Austin wore in terms of designer labels or price, but on Emily, it was dazzling enough—more than enough to hold its own.

Emily’s gaze shifted to Andrew Lane.
