Ella stepped into the hall, the white gown flowing around her like liquid moonlight.
Every pleat, every shimmer caught the golden chandeliers above, making her seem almost ethereal.
The pristine white of her dress, the shimmering pearls, her soft curves, they added to her a swan-like beauty.
Ji Yan walked one step behind her, his stance professional.
But the crowd was no longer calm.
Whispers rippled through the guests:
"Who is she?"
"Why is Mr. King’s secretary escorting her?"
"She is stunning..."
"I feel like she looks familiar!"
"I think... I think I remember... Isn’t she that ex-model who has been the talk of the town in the recent months?!"
A few people who were intricately linked to the entertainment industry started recognizing Ella.
But the rest of the elites were still clueless. However, that did not stop them from being intrigued.
Especially the young men, the eligible bachelors... they could barely take their gaze off Ella.
And that caused some of the young ladies to be envious...
Heads turned, some craning, some daring a double take, yet none could look away from Ella.
But before any of them could get to the bottom of the situation or Ella’s identity, someone moved.
Adrian, who had retreated to a dark corner upon his arrival, strode out of the place.
The room seemed to freeze.
The man who was known by the world to be a ruthless tyrant took decisive and deliberate strides towards Ella.
His white suit shimmered subtly under the chandelier lights, and every step drew the eyes of everyone in the room.
He stopped in front of her.
The guests held their breath, unsure of what was happening.
And it was at this moment that Adrian offered a hand towards Ella.
Ji Yan immediately took a small step to the side, his head slightly bowed.
Ella placed her hand on Adrian’s and within a split-second, his long fingers wrapped around her delicate palm, holding her firmly.
The last thread of composure in the hall shattered.
Whispers surged into gasps, the crowd’s attention entirely captured. Every single person present in the vicinity was drawn to the pair.
Lilith’s gaze sharpened, "She’s... with him?" She whispered to herself at first.
And then, she turned to Eli, "You knew...?"
Eli nodded.
"Then, why didn’t you tell me just now?"
"Did you give me a chance?" The man’s voice was composed, "Moreover, I caught a glimpse of a woman in his car. I couldn’t tell that it was her."
"How..."
"Don’t you think she has changed a lot? She looks quite pleasing, doesn’t she?" Eli gazed at the white figure in the center.
Lilith’s fingers curled around a golden railing, "You..." Her eyes lingered on Ella.
The girl seemed to have lost some weight, her features looked sharper and more prominent and that only seemed to enunciate her beauty.
Her hair was pinned up in an elegant hairdo and a few loose strands cascaded down, trailing her neck.
