Your Queen is Back Surrender Now novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

“Narissa, I pulled some strings to get Mr. Atwood to make this overnight, just for you. One of a kind in the whole world! Try

it on.”

Shoved into this cotton–candy nightmare, Narissa nearly suffocated.

As “Fox,” she’d blazed through life, holding her own among the toughest agents in Military Intelligence–ranked 001, no less. When had she ever worn something so… pink?

If her old squad saw her like this, they’d never let her live it down.

And the worst part? She’d have to wear it to the party. If photos leaked…

Narissa facepalmed, fighting the urge to set the dress on fire right then and there.

But when she met Amanda’s loving gaze, that thought vanished.

This wasn’t just a dress. It was a mother’s love for her daughter.

She couldn’t let Amanda down.

‘Fine, I’ll wear it. I’ve never been afraid of anything in my life.

‘Worst case, if word gets back to the Military Intelligence, I’ll just get every one of those guys a frilly pink dress like this–see what they have to say then,‘ she thought to herself.

Right then, every undercover agent in Military Intelligence, including Octopus, suddenly shivered in unison.

They thought to themselves, ‘Huh? It’s not even cold. Why do I get goosebumps all over?‘

After the designer finished doing Narissa’s makeup, it was already afternoon.

With the welcoming party about to start soon, Amanda personally escorted Narissa to the hotel.

The rest of the Everton family had already gone ahead to the party venue. As hosts, they had to arrive early to prepare.

Guests were also filing into the venue in an orderly fashion, presenting their invitations.

As the guest of honor, Narissa was kept well–protected by Amanda. Even at the hotel, she took the VIP route, completely avoiding the other attendees.

“Sweetie, you ready?” Amanda stepped out briefly and soon returned.

At the moment, Narissa was sitting in the lounge, idly playing a mobile game–her usual cover to appear like a normal, unremarkable girl.

Narissa snapped her phone dark at Amanda’s call, pushing up from the couch with a bored stretch, like a lazy cat summoned for duty.

Chapter 20

“Ready, Mom.”

“Then let’s go. The party’s about to start.”

Amanda walked over, affectionately took Narissa’s hand, and stepped out of the lounge with a big smile.

The reporters and media, who’d already gotten the scoop, quickly swarmed in, snapping away at Narissa and Amanda.

With grace and politeness, Amanda addressed the crowd, “Everyone, please step aside. Once we reach the party hall, you’ll have plenty of time to take photos..

“For now, please give us some private space.”

Given enough face, the reporters didn’t linger or cause a scene, parting like the Red Sea for Amanda to escort Narissa inside.

By then, all the guests attending the party were eagerly waiting.

When Amanda entered the venue with Narissa, everyone spontaneously burst into applause.

The atmosphere was electric.

Clearly, the guests were showing the Everton family all the respect they deserved.

The media followed in an orderly fashion behind Amanda and Narissa until they reached the main stage.

Hector immediately joined his wife and daughter, with the couple flanking Narissa as she linked arms with them to step onto the stage.

“Dear guests, friends from the media, thank you all for coming to our welcoming party. Today, I’m proud to announce that our long–lost daughter, Narissa, has finally come home after over a decade apart.”
