Chapter 1138 Dark Cinderella
No one knew that Mrs. Anna had another daughter.
Looking at the girl holding her arm, whose temperament and dress were as fresh as a lily, many ladies present secretly pinched their nails.
Among them was the original owner’s mother.
Anyone who is not stupid can understand how badly he was fooled by Mrs. Anna. How could she miss the prince's ball when she already has a daughter? She even believed that the prince liked strong red roses. She was obviously tricked by Mrs. Anna.
"Mom, why don't we go in yet?" Only Serin was confused and didn't understand anything. She hugged her mother's arm and asked repeatedly.
The mother took a deep breath, glared at Mrs. Anna fiercely, and suppressed her anger, "Let's go."
At this point, there is no way to correct the mistake.
Her heart sank, but on the way, she couldn't help but order her two daughters to take off all the jewelry they could and temporarily hand it over to the servants for safekeeping.
Shi Li was overjoyed and immediately took off her necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring. She felt at least two pounds lighter.
"Mom! Why!" Seren started screaming.
The mother was in a headache and angry. She ordered her to shut up and said patiently, "We were deceived by Anna. Prince Arthur likes pure lilies! Not roses!"
This sentence made Celine willingly take off all the jewelry with rose patterns on her body.
The lights at the party were bright.
Gorgeous crystal chandeliers are hung in the sky, and the bright lights fall on the shiny marble floor, illuminating people.
Shi Li looked around the room and was not surprised to find that many girls were like them. They tried to reduce the jewelry on their bodies, but they had no chance to change their clothes, which made them look even more out of place.
It also highlighted the young lady's freshness and elegance. Mrs. Anna stood beside her with an exceptionally graceful and brilliant smile.
There were some noble ladies who were more radical than the original owner and could no longer hold back and walked up to argue with Lady Anna.
The beautiful lady was not in a hurry. She pointed elegantly at the door that had not yet been opened, holding a folding fan in her hand, and said softly, "Prince Arthur will be here soon. Are you sure you want to argue with me?"
Mrs. Anna was certain that these people would not dare to act rashly at the prince's ball, so she was particularly high-profile.
Just then, two servants walked to the gate, stood on each side, and slowly opened the gate.
Everyone stopped chatting and looked intently at the open door.
A tall and straight young man wearing a golden crown strode in. He was handsome, with a friendly smile on his face, and he would nod to anyone in a friendly manner whenever his eyes fell on them.
Mrs. Anna's eyes lit up, and she reacted faster than anyone else, pulling her lily-like daughter forward to greet him.
"Your Highness Arthur, please allow me to introduce you to my daughter Anne."
Prince Arthur followed the introduction, looked at the shy Anne, and his eyes lit up.
"So you are Anne. Mrs. Anna has often talked to me about you before." The prince's love for the girl was almost beyond words.
Shi Li hid in a corner eating melons. She could vaguely hear the creaking of the hands of several noble ladies and young ladies around her as they held their folding fans.
I guess they are all very angry.
But if the prince really chose Annie, Shi Li would definitely find a way to buy some firecrackers to set off when she returned. She and Annie didn't have a holiday, so she definitely wouldn't be forced to wear iron dancing shoes!
Therefore, she unconditionally supports Anne to take the throne!
Thinking of this, Shi Li could hardly suppress his inner excitement. He picked up the wine glass on the waiter's tray next to him and happily took a big sip.
No one knew that the king and queen were in a small room on the second floor, watching everything that was happening at the ball.
Seeing Arthur and Anne standing together, talking and laughing, the Queen curled her lips and turned her head to look at the King. The King was obviously a little absent-minded, tapping the armrest of the chair.
He didn't find the most beautiful woman at the ball. If that was the case, what should Lorraine do?
Everyone had their own thoughts, and Prince Arthur was about to bend over to invite Anne to dance the first dance with him.
Madam Anna gracefully unfolded her folding fan, hiding her smug smile.
The door opened again and another person walked in.
Shi Li looked over like everyone else, and saw a peerless beauty walking in gracefully in crystal shoes. Her heart tightened slightly, and like the other noble ladies around her, she gripped the handle of the folding fan tightly.
What is supposed to come will always come.
Although I don't know why Cindy was late, she came after all.
And just like the well-known fairy tale, as soon as she appeared at the ball, she immediately amazed everyone, including Prince Arthur who was about to invite Anne to dance.
He stared at Cindy intently, his face full of amazement, then he withdrew his hand from Anne and walked quickly towards Cindy.
The most beautiful woman appeared!
The king and queen who were sitting in the room couldn't help but stand up.
