CHAPTER 81: CHAPTER 81: ELIAS WARNER PROPOSES

"Yes, that’s my boyfriend!"

Annelise could see that when Sylvia mentioned her boyfriend, she couldn’t suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth.

She must be head over heels for this man.

"Annelise, after I attend the party, I’ll take you to meet my brother. You already know him, so there’s no need for me to introduce you!"

"Alright, sure!"

Annelise agreed readily.

Just then, Annelise received a call from Renee Perry, telling her it was time to go back!

"What’s wrong?" Sylvia noticed that Annelise’s expression wasn’t good.

"Sylvie, I need to head back right away!"

"Alright, I’ll have my butler take you back!"

One hour before the party.

Annelise returned to The Sandalwood, and as soon as she entered, Mama Carter urged her into the room.

"Miss Annelise, the madam wants you to hurry, quickly change into your gown, don’t keep the madam waiting too long!"

"Okay, I got it, Mama Carter!"

Annelise took out the gown that Mama Carter handed her and frowned upon seeing it.

This gown was adorned with hundreds of diamonds, it seemed like a high-end custom piece.

Renee Perry handing her such a high-end gown?

Is it to prevent her from embarrassing the Warner Family at the party?

Annelise examined the gown carefully, having to be cautious.

After inspecting the gown inside and out three times, she finally noticed that this gown was not actually made by John, but rather a high-quality imitation.

Today, she had visited Sylvia’s house, met John, and saw some of John’s work.

Compared to the one in her hands, every one of John’s pieces had his signature initials.

After all, these were not mass-produced works and had unique marks.

And the gown in her hand did not.

Is Renee trying to make a fool out of her?

She wants to see what exactly Renee plans to do.

After changing clothes, Annelise came downstairs and approached Renee’s car.

Renee rolled down the window, glancing coldly at Annelise: "I don’t know what you’re dawdling about for? Making me wait here for so long, just to change a dress, stop dawdling, hurry up and get in! Don’t keep Elias’s girlfriend waiting!"

Annelise opened the car door and settled into the back seat.

Renee glanced at the rearview mirror, noticing the gown Annelise wore was indeed the one she had Grandma Carter give her.

Soon there would be a show to watch at the party.

Half an hour later.

Renee appeared at the party wearing a high-end custom gown.

Everyone turned their attention towards Renee, as the top socialite in Kybourne, wherever she appeared, she naturally attracted admiration.

After all, Renee was the host of this party.

And at this moment, standing next to Renee was Annelise, who attracted even more attention.

"Isn’t that girl standing by Renee Annelise? The fake heiress of the Winter Family, why is she beside Renee?"

"Yeah, what’s her connection with Renee?"

"I’ve heard that she’s Renee’s goddaughter!"

"How fortunate, to remove the fake heiress status from the Winter Family, and still gain the status of goddaughter to the Warner Family, what fortune brought about by lifetimes of good deeds!"

"You all don’t get it, this isn’t fortune, it’s clearly to make her understand her own identity, not to have any silly notions about the Crown Prince of the Warner Family!"

"So that’s how it is!"

Renee saw that everyone’s gaze was on Annelise and couldn’t help but sneer.

Standing by her side, she would naturally be at the center of attention, but if she made a fool of herself, she would fall from the clouds into the dust.

"I advise you, this is Elias and his fiancée’s main event. Tonight he plans to propose to his fiancée! Don’t make any trouble, and after the party, we’ll set you up for a date. Just sleep with the man you’re dating to let Elias give up, and I’ll meet your conditions, give you a sum of money, and let you leave here!"

She hadn’t seen Elias Warner for many days, and at the entrance, there seemed to be floral decorations and the like.

And the venue’s setup indeed looked like a proposal setting.

So tonight, Elias is going to propose to his girlfriend?

Annelise’s inner self was stabbed with pain.

Yet she hadn’t thought Renee would try to recreate the misunderstanding between her and Elias Warner like back then.

But this time, she won’t let her succeed again.

Soon Renee was busy socializing, leaving her alone at the spot.

"Annelise!"

It was Sylvia’s voice that pulled Annelise back.

Annelise hadn’t expected that Sylvia would attend the same party as her today.

"Sylvie, what a coincidence? We’re attending the same party?"

"Yeah, it wasn’t until I arrived that my brother told me this was the Warner Family’s party, I came here with him!"

Only then did Annelise notice Sylvia’s brother, Lucas Lowell, dressed in a well-tailored silver-gray suit beside her. Lucas wore a patterned tie and nodded slightly. When he saw Annelise, he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled lightly.

"Hello, Annelise, long time no see!"

"Senior, long time no see!"

Annelise extended her hand to shake hands with Lucas Lowell.

Lucas Lowell was her senior from university.

She met him on the school playground when Lucas was being chased by many girls.

Back then, to escape those girls, Lucas pulled Annelise to pretend to be his girlfriend.

That’s how they got acquainted.

"Such a coincidence, after graduating, I thought I’d never have a chance to see you again. I was delighted when Sylvie mentioned you as the one I’m supposed to meet!"

Annelise didn’t expect the usually gentle senior to express his feelings so bluntly.

This made Annelise feel quite awkward.

"With a senior as excellent as you, what are you saying?"

Sylvia smiled wryly, casually picking up two glasses of wine and handing them to Annelise and her brother Lucas Lowell.

"Come, let’s all have a drink for this reunion!"

Sylvia downed her glass in one go.

Seeing this, Annelise felt she couldn’t refuse.

"Come, junior Annelise, I toast to you!"

Lucas Lowell also finished his drink in one go.

Seeing their sincerity, Annelise also gulped down her glass of wine.

All of this was seen by Renee from the second floor.

She smirked, now the real show was about to start.
