Chapter 109: Wouldn’t They Exchange Gossips?
Stephanie didn’t waste time any further. She couldn’t stay still until she got some information about Lariette’s situation.
But, first, she needed to appear at least a little presentable.
"Urgh... My eyebags."
Standing opposite the vanity mirror, Stephanie looked at the reflection of her face. Her eyebags deepened from the lack of sleep, looking hideous because of her bloodshot eyes.
Stephanie also noticed her skin lost its usual luster. Gritting her teeth, she grabbed the hair brush before forcibly entangling her blond locks. She was not in the mood to put on any makeup.
Perhaps... She could rouse some sympathy when the others saw how worn out she was.
Even though she was caught in the middle of a scandal, Stephanie believed the maids wouldn’t openly look down on her. They had a high price to pay if they dared to offend her.
After all, she was still the precious princess of the Elsher family!
Putting down the hair brush, Stephanie clenched her fist around its handle. Leon’s recent messages set her heart aflame from the audacity of his wishful dream.
"Who does he think he is? He’ll regret trying to threaten me."
Sure, Leon was great in bed but, this didn’t mean Stephanie wanted to marry him. Her only goal was being Matthias Silvera’s wife, not Leon Holt’s!
