Bab 96: You Won’t Rat Me Out?

Kuro didn't answer and narrowed his eyes, warning her not to go there. Kayla understood and became quiet. 

"Go and help her out with her evening dress," said Reinjie. "We should look like a family there." 

"Oh please, Reinjie! Everyone knows how much we disliked Adrianna. It is not like it wasn't an open secret," she retorted. 

Kuro grunted. "Do as Reinjie says. Even if everyone knows, you have to go in order to make people think that we have changed." 

Kayla was envious of Adrianna - envious that a simple girl like her who only ever studied could become the supreme alpha, Dmitri's, wife. Kayla didn't even want to see her face, let alone help her dress up. But because Kuro wanted her to go, she went to the palace. Captivated by its inner architecture and the furnishings, she walked, looking around mesmerized, until she bumped into someone.
