“No, not that! That will happen sooner or later,” Alondra scoffed.
“Then, what is it?” Emmeline eyed the invitation in Alondra’s hand as she spoke.
“It’s my niece, Alana’s birthday party today,” Alondra explained. “As you know, the Lanes always put on a grand party, and how could we not extend an invitation to you?”
“Oh, is that so?” Emmeline asked rhetorically, figuring there was no way Alana had invited her out of the kindness of her heart.
In fact, she was not far from the truth. Alana was frantic knowing that Adrien was about to propose to Emmeline anytime soon. If Emmeline married Adrien, the real identities of her three children would be exposed sooner or later and Alana would find herself in trouble. Secondly, she had been going after Adrien for more than four years to no avail. If Emmeline won his favor the moment she appeared, she would be utterly humiliated, becoming the laughingstock of the upper echelons of Struyria.
No, Alana could never let that happen! She had something planned out just for Emmeline during her birthday party that would teach Emmeline where she stood. Once everything had been laid out, Alana had asked her Aunt Alondra to deliver the invitation to Emmeline.
