Harrison shot her a glare. “Don’t go doing anything reckless. That thing between you two was just something Grandpa casually brought up. It’s long over, so don’t go chasing after trouble. Thankfully, no outsiders ever found out, so it’s not like you lost face.”
“What are you thinking?” Adeline rolled her eyes, looking completely disinterested. “Even if our engagement had gone through, I wouldn’t have agreed to it. He’s so dull, what would be the point of being with someone like that? Besides, I’m not the type to break up someone else’s marriage.”
She waved him off, clearly bored. “Forget it, I’m done talking to you. Go pick up the guests.”
Freya clung to Louis‘ arm, pretending she was already used to walking like this. Soon, a well- dressed young man with a refined appearance came up to greet them. After a few polite exchanges, Freya realized this was the second son of the Ruby family.
“It’s cold outside, why don’t you two come in and warm up a bit? I can’t leave my post right now, so please forgive me,” Harrison said with genuine politeness.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about us,” Louis replied, equally courteous.
At the entrance, Freya saw a woman in a dress. It was impressive–this woman had such exceptional presence that she made the traditionally flashy garment look elegant and striking instead of tacky.
It wasn’t until Louis gently tugged on her arm that Freya snapped out of it. Embarrassed, she gave the woman a sheepish smile.
Adeline suddenly laughed. It was strange–this was clearly the same woman she’d heard about, yet the feeling she gave off was completely different.
“No wonder Mr. Graham fell headfirst into romance. Turns out he ran into a cutie. Hey there, cutie–hi!”
Freya instinctively responded with a soft, radiant smile. “Hi to you too, gorgeous!”
“Haha! I think I’m starting to like you, cutie.” Adeline found herself oddly entertained. This woman was nothing like she’d imagined. She gestured toward the entrance with a flourish. “Come on, get inside. We’ll talk more later.”
Louis didn’t say a word. Cool and collected, he led Freya inside–but she kept glancing back, which made him sigh.
“That was Adeline, the third daughter of the Ruby family. You’ll see more of her in a bit.”

So, can you stop turning around every two seconds? He was a damn good–looking guy who spent every day at her side, and she’d never looked that dazzled by him.
“She’s just so unique! She’s got the grace of a classic beauty, but with the confidence and edge of a modern woman. She’s exactly like a heroine from one of my novels,” Freya said, still sounding delighted. Seeing a character from her imagination come to life, it was the kind of thrill she couldn’t get over.
Louis thought with resignation. No wonder she was so excited.
“Well, when she comes over to talk later, chat her up as much as you want. Consider it me helping you live out your fantasy.”
Freya nodded enthusiastically.
The Ruby family only personally greeted people they deemed worthy. Someone like Sophia didn’t cut–she was shown in politely by the event staff like all the other nobodies.
From a distance, Sophia saw Louis and Freya arrive–she even caught the Ruby family’s second son hurrying out to greet them. Meanwhile, no one came for her. All she got were a few polite words from the greeters.
So this is the difference between people. If Louis and Freya had divorced earlier, maybe she’d be the one walking in on Louis‘ arm, with people lining up to greet them.
‘But life didn’t come with do–overs. She couldn’t help but turn to the system. System, are you fe were personally sure I’m going to meet that hidden character tonight? Are you certain he’s really on par with Louis? I don’t want another screw–up. Did you see what just happened? Louis and his e escorted in, and I’m being ushered in like I’m nobody. I never want to feel like this again for the rest of my life.
“This system cannot guarantee outcomes. However, if the hidden character appears, you will be notified.”
Sophia pondered. You better not screw this up. I finally got the chance to transmigrate into this world, and I’ve been acting my heart out ever since. Look at all the other female leads–none of them work as hard as I do. If even that’s not enough to get me the happiness I deserve, then what the hell was the point of coming here?
As she carried on her internal rant, Sophia lifted her gown and stepped inside. One way or another, she was going to make something happen tonight. She had to meet that hidden character, no matter what.
Inside, Louis didn’t take Freya to their usual spot in the corner. Instead, he guided her toward the crowd. As they drew closer, Freya realized there was an elderly man seated among them -his hair was silver, but he looked sharp and full of energy.
