Adrienne didn't take long to find Myrtle, much to her relief. She didn't think she could socialize with others now as the past few days had been quite taxing.

"Something came up, plus, I need to give Aunt Camilla and Elise some false hope, don't I? Seeing their hopes crumble tonight will be the icing on the cake."
Adrienne would ruin all their plans since they regarded this banquet with utmost importance.
