She's out of Your League Now (Millie and Winston)

League 58

“Mrs. Greer Senior, we heard you love jewelry. So we, the Xander family, are giving you a pair of white pearl earrings! We hope you’ll accept them!”

“Mrs. Greer Senior, the Millers mustn’t be left out. We’ve prepared an exquisite emerald bracelet for you!”

Selma gazed at the group of middle–aged men before her, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. The atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter.

The butler collected the presents while noting down the names of the givers.

Besides presenting gifts, the guests also showered Selma with well wishes, eagerly trying to make a good impression.

Many had gone to great lengths to acquire jewelry for Selma’s birthday party. Failing to leave an impression on her would be considered a great loss.

Right then, someone suddenly asked, “I heard the Lowells will give the world’s only Snowdrop to Mrs. Greer Senior. Is that true?”

All eyes turned to the man in the corner.

He was in his thirties, with a simple and earnest appearance. Under the scrutiny of the crowd, he could not help but awkwardly scratch his head.

“It’s true. The Lowells had gotten their hands on the Snowdrop. It’s our lucky day! We get to see it today,” a woman replied seriously.

Selma looked at the lady and narrowed her eyes. She then gripped her cane.

Could the Lowell family really present the Snowdrop?

It seemed like they had gone above and beyond to ensure Joahna could marry into the Greer family. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Selma scoffed at that thought.

While lost in thought, she heard someone outside exclaimed, “The Lowell family is here! The Lowell family is here!”

“Are the Lowells here with the Snowdrop? Is Joanna bringing it in? someone asked.

Everyone craned their necks to look outside.

Selma, too, could not help but glance toward the door.

Recently, Yerwick City had been buzzing with talk of the Snowdrop, piquing her curiosity as well.

Selma was eager to see for herself what the mysterious herb was about.

Joanna appeared at the entrance of the hall amidst the chatter. That night, she wore a golden gown. Her hair cascaded down her back, and her face was adorned with exquisite makeup.

She was determined to outshine everyone. However, deep down, she was extremely nervous.

Beside her, her assistant held a red velvet box containing the legendary, world’s only Snowdrop.

As the crowd realized what was happening, those seated rose while those holding wine glasses quickly set them down, straightening their posture

Joanna pursed her lips.

At the same time, the live–streaming cameras in the banquet hall were all fixated on her.

Major platforms were all live–streaming, and the viewership had already reached 500 million!

“The Lowell family actually managed to get the Snowdrop!”

“I thought it was a joke, but it turns out to be true. Looks like we’re in for a treat today!”

“The velvet box contains the Snowdrop, right? The Lowells are impressive! No wonder they’re one of

the Four Great Families!”

The media went wild, snapping photos of Joanna. They were also eagerly anticipating the reveal of the Snowdrop.

Under the crowd’s intense gazes, Joanna was somewhat flustered..

She inhaled sharply, looked at her assistant beside her, and asked softly, “Jeremy, will this work?”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lowell. No one has ever seen the Snowdrop, so who would know ours is fake?” Jeremy Smith replied confidently, wearing a faint smile.

Joanna bit her lip, feeling inexplicably anxious. “The black market…”

“Ms. Lowell, no matter what happens, all you have to do is insist that this is the real Snowdrop. Don’t be scared!”

With that said, Jeremy gestured forward, signaling Joanna not to hesitate any longer and to enter. After all, everyone was waiting.
