Chapter 553

Sandy used to think the Lane family had it pretty good, but now, seeing the people at this event, she realized the Lanes were nothing special. No wonder her parents had pulled every string to get her an invitation. Everyone here was on another level. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ͟.net
Suddenly, a ripple of excitement swept through the hall. Sandy glanced at the entrance and spotted a couple walking in with a girl about her age. All eyes were on them. They looked like a picture-perfect family.
Jenson and Milana also turned to look, just as someone nearby whispered, “That’s the richest family in the city.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Norwood are really blessed. Four sons and a daughter,” someone added.
“My daughter says the Norwoods’ little girl is treated like an absolute princess at home. She’s spoiled beyond belief.”
“Of course she is. Old Mr. Norwood is famous for doting on his granddaughter. After four grandsons, he finally got a little girl. How could he not spoil her?”
“Lucinda is probably the luckiest girl in the world.”
“Definitely. Her grandpa, her parents, and all four of her brothers adore her.”
Sandy watched Lucinda, who had her arm linked with Kylie’s, her heart filled with envy. They were both girls, so why did their lives have to be so different?
Lucinda’s pale yellow dress looked like it was made from sunshine, bright and warm. The skirt was soft and fluffy, like a cloud, fluttering with every move she made. Her hair was swept into a cute bun, with a few little curls falling down to frame her face, making her look even more playful. She was all smiles, her eyes sparkling with excitement. The pink clutch in her hand matched her dress perfectly.
Moving through the crowd with Cameron and Kylie, Lucinda really was like a little fairy spreading happiness everywhere she went. That yellow princess dress made her stand out like a ray of sunshine at the party.
Milana leaned over, not bothering to hide her sarcasm. “Don’t waste your time. She’s the Norwood heiress. She’s even engaged to that famous Conno Jefferson. You should just hope to land Soren or maybe someone a little better if your lucky.”
Sandy shot her a frosty look and didn’t even bother to respond.
Jenson just grinned. “Sandy, why don’t you go explore? The place is huge.”
The hint was obvious. There were plenty of wealthy guys around.
Sandy gave a little snort and walked away by herself. She’d honestly thought she could turn heads at the gala. But now that she was here, she realized there were far too many girls prettier than her, from families way more powerful than hers. She couldn’t even keep count
Not long after, there was another wave of excitement. The Davis family had arrived.
Juna’s parents walked in first, with Juna and Lydia side by side behind them.
Juna was famous in the Capital for being beautiful and having a fiery personality. Tons of girls wanted to plenty of rich guys
be her friend, and plent no one had tried to her, but no one
ever got close.
So seeing her today with a girl who was almost unbelievably beautiful, her arm linked tightly with the girl’s, left everyone in shock. Whispers flew as people tried to guess who Lydia was.
Even Jenson, Milana, and Sandy were stunned when they saw her.
Milana’s jaw nearly dropped. “What is Lydia doing with Miss Davis?”
