Adrienne entered the banquet hall with a tray of empty wine glasses in her hands. She struggled to navigate the crowd while keeping her head low. If anyone recognized her tonight, she would be doomed.
Ahead of her was Leigh. They were keeping a safe distance to avoid drawing attention to them. Her two guards were dressed as bodyguards with a small ribbon pinned on their lapels for the Gu guards to recognize them as a bodyguard of one of the guests tonight. Adrienne found it ridiculous as anyone could put a small red ribbon on their clothes and enter the banquet hall easily.
