Chapter 105: The Winter's Event
Students entered the grand hall of the university, buzzing with chatter.
Alumni and sponsors filled the space, each more extravagant than the last.
The Winter Event had always been a display of power and influence, and tonight was no different.
The tables were adorned with beautiful silver tablecloths, glittering under the chandeliers.
But for Eira, the event felt heavy.
She adjusted the straps of her navy-blue gown as she entered the hall alone.
Callian had been tied up in meetings and insisted she could handle the evening.
She didn't mind. If anything, she was used to standing alone.
Across the room, Vanesa and Mita stood near the entrance; they immediately caught Eira's arrival.
Vanesa's lips curled into a smirk.
"She came alone," Mita said. "Perfect. This will be easier than I thought."
