Chapter 352: Stirring Inside

Negative feelings simmered within Iris. However, she didn't notice that they weren't completely hers. She only knew that she felt indignant for her friend, Jiang Ying Yue. Unbeknownst to her, something began stirring inside her. It was affecting her own emotions in an inconspicuous and subtle manner. It made her loathe the elders and the other members of the Long family, despite not meeting them personally after waking up as Iris Long.

Huge drops of sweat began dripping from Jiang Ying Yue's face. Her skin felt cold to the touch. It was not noticeable but her hands were trembling.

"Elders, please excuse us. Father says we need to return quickly to his side and join him in greeting the rest of the guests," Iris interrupted in a cold, emotionless voice. Then she grabbed Jiang Ying Yue's hand and pulled her away, not waiting for the elders' permission to let them go.

Long Hui was only momentarily surprised by her brusque action before running after them.
