Kapitel 89: Spineless Woman.
Lights flashing at the entrance of the Manor. Photographer, journalist everyone stayed in the main entrance to capture the perfect pictures of the man and woman getting out of the car. The red carpet was rolled out for the attendees, suiting the theme of the banquet. Photographers and paparazzi do not have access inside, even a cellphone will be collected upon entry to keep the privacy of the host.
That doesn't deter all the journalist to camp outside and tried their luck to snap a few photos. Unfortunately, Daniel has instructed all of the bodyguards to respectfully make the paparazzi leave the Manor if they do not want to be jobless and their news company bankrupt. Photographers scattered leaving immediately following the subtle threats Daniel conveyed to them. They knew the second son of Anderson will follow through his threats.
The surrounding is silent again, only lights flashing from the lightings hang all over the compound. The two enormous pillars wrapped in golden wires with lights swirling in between. This Manor tonight looks like a castle. If a country has a royalty, it will be the Anderson.
Francesca leaves abruptly from home not wanting to be in the same car as Helena, she wanted to arrive early so she can witness Helena in her pink dress like a schoolgirl. Her plan is to play the role of a protected big sister that will fight everyone that insults her. This will align with Anderson family motto, which family comes first.
Walking around clinking her champagne glass with others, her eyes wandering around locating Daniel and Cade Anderson to make an opportunity to talk to them.
Since all the paparazzi has been chased away, the entrance is silent and voices of people greetings each other are heard at the background. Francesca saw Miranda and waved at her, she needed to stay with Miranda, that way her chance of encountering Daniel seems natural and not forced. This is what she has been calculating in her mind.
If only her manipulating talent is applied to the company, perhaps Lee Trading won't be in a verge on bankruptcy.
The entrance hall started to get quiet making everyone turning their head after realizing Helena walking in alone. All eyes are focused on her who is wearing a rose gold silk dress that matched her skin tone. Her shiny long black hair is tied in a bun and some of her hair scattered on the side of her face completing the messy elegant look she wants to achieve. This has made her even more beautiful. Her long neck is decorated with a necklace in the shape of a flower. Every eye that looks are all in awe of Helena's beauty and her nude lips highlight her plump lips even more. She walked very confidently alternating her smile to everyone.
Her eyes scanning around making sure she would not have to see Daniel Anderson.
As soon as she saw Francesca, she waves her hand and approaching her that is currently standing next to Miranda. Helena knew Miranda seems to be her love enemy in these 3 lives she has lived.
She plays it cool but greetings them. The rest of other socialites in Francesca group still in disbelief looking at Helena with her new style.
"Sister.." Francesca started her loving sister role.
"Fran..have the banquet started? " As soon as Helena asked that, Butler kim announced the name of a few families that is considered close to the Anderson to hand the gift personally to George Anderson. . It was never the Lee's back in the days. It was the Shin's, that was Eleanor maiden name. Since she has been married to the Lee's, Anderson acknowledges the family. Eleanor was a good friend towards William growing up and this is part of their part to pay respect for the friendship.
Helena heard the Lee's is one of the family, she smiled and nodded her head walking next to Francesca that preparing herself to hopefully see Daniel. Helena on the other hand looked completely unbothered, however her heart is like a wave crashing on the shore. She plans on leaving right away after this in order to meet up with Daryl, he has informed her on her blood test result, and something he found that alarming him.
He refuses to tell her over the phone and insist of them met. This made her wonder; chaos seems to be addicted to her. Its either that or its all of the twin's fault. She thought its the latter.
Helena saw George and Gianna was actively talking to few others when they arrived. Daniel wasn't around and her heart slightly feel better and yet she knew she is always fooling her feelings with her excellent masking skills.
Francesca looked completely disappointed.
The study room was filled with various gifts that had been set aside by Butler Kim, there were several tables outside also prepared to place gifts, those who do not have the opportunity to personally delivered their gifts are making sure all the gifts they placed on the table had their name written all over it.
Francesca stepped in front of George and greeted the two elders very gently. Followed by Helena who is more silent.
"Eleanor's children!" George smiled. Helena has not been attending the banquet in a while. She was always excluded by he friends who told her they do not serves alcohol. The old Helena completely believe in it and think the party is not her vibe at all. Francesca on the other hand has made it her mission to always attend it.
Gianna that stood next to George cant help but continued to stare at Helena's face which resembled Eleanor like an identical twin. Her height and her image is exactly like her mother. They used to want Eleanor to be with William, however Eleanor knows William was in love with Katrina, Cade and Daniel's mother. She is the one helping the two love birds finally together.
"You are so beautiful like your mother" She cant help but blurting out the words.
"And you look like your father" No compliment or anything. Francesca keeps her smile after experience the indirect insult from Gianna. They knew Francesca wasn't Eleanor's daughter. Nothing that happened in the city that Gianna's did not know. She can see Francesca through and through.
