Chapter 854

The moment Kate called my name, all eyes in the room turned to me. Ernest hadn't even introduced Yasmine to everyone yet. And now, with Kate's words, I was suddenly the center of attention. It made my already nervous heart tighten even further. "Ms. Fisher is here too?" Dorothea's eyes shifted from Yasmine to me. I noticed a flicker of surprise in her gaze. I hadn't seen Dorothea since Kate's birthday party. She still looked as poised and dignified as ever, exuding a commanding presence without saying a word. Her voice was polite and warm when she spoke to me, but when those cold, distant eyes met mine, I still felt the pressure. "Good to see you again, Madam Harold. I'm here with Ms. Jenkins today." I forced a smile as I offered an explanation while enduring the pressure. "Nance is one of my closest friends, so I invited her to come with me," Yasmine quickly added. Dorothea seemed to have a good impression of Yasmine. As soon as Yasmine spoke, a soft smile appeared in her eyes.
