CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 109: THE QUEEN ARRIVES

James Sheffield furrowed his brows and asked, "What esteemed guest? Which esteemed guest?"

Is there anyone more distinguished than Alaric Faulkner present?

He’s reviewed all the guest lists; anyone with significant social standing is already here. Could there be some impostor here for free food and drink?

Faye Sterling noticed the servant’s stammer and an undeniable hint of joy appeared on her face. Could it be that the Queen has arrived?

She hesitantly asked, "Is it the Queen of The State of Xylos?"

As soon as the words were uttered, the expressions of the Sheffield family changed dramatically.

"What? The Queen of The State of Xylos?"

The servant immediately nodded, "Yes, that’s right. Just now, a very elegant foreign woman suddenly arrived.

I asked for her invitation, but she said she didn’t have one. I suddenly recalled seeing her photo in the news, she... she seems like the Queen!"

Upon hearing this, James Sheffield’s demeanor became tense.

He quickly said, "Why didn’t you tell us earlier! Where is she?"

The servant replied nervously, "Ou... outside, waiting."

The Queen attending the Sheffield family’s coming-of-age feast was an enormous honor for Shannon Sheffield.

After today, Shannon’s status would rise significantly, surpassing typical socialites.

If they could enter into association with the Royal Family, the Sheffield Family would certainly thrive.

James Sheffield prepared himself and said to Shannon, "Shannon, you better get ready, let’s go out to greet the Queen."

Shannon Sheffield regained her composure and was overjoyed, although she didn’t understand why the Queen would come, it was certainly good for her, and there was no need to overthink.

She felt a surge of excitement, almost unable to contain it.

She would surely steal the spotlight later.

If her friends learned that the Queen personally attended her coming-of-age feast, they’d be green with envy.

After preparations were complete, the entire Sheffield family went to the entrance to greet the Queen.

Rosalie Ray leaned close to Faye Sterling’s ear and whispered, "Faye, didn’t you invite the Queen? Why let the Sheffield family take the spotlight?"

George Sterling also spoke unhappily, "Right, since you’re the one who invited her, why let the Sheffield family have the honor?"

The Sterling Family should have taken the lead, thereby elevating its reputation in everyone’s eyes and showing partners the Sterling Family’s influence!

"Dad, Mom, don’t worry." Faye Sterling slowly smiled and coldly laughed, "Don’t you think letting the Sheffield family get ahead, then letting everyone know the Queen is my guest, would give us more face?"

Earlier Shannon Sheffield had a snobbish look.

Faye had always held a grudge about this.

She intentionally didn’t reveal initially that the Queen was her guest; she’s determined to follow behind the Sheffield family and let this young lady feel the burn.

Hearing this, Rosalie Ray and George Sterling nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if it comes out that Faye Sterling invited the Queen, he wouldn’t be anything less than proud as her father.

He said with satisfaction, "Faye Sterling has certainly thought it through."

Rosalie Ray also smiled and echoed, "Exactly, the Sheffield family tends to look down on people.

They barely gave us a proper look earlier, and if their attempt to strike up conversation with Alaric Faulkner hadn’t failed, they probably wouldn’t want to talk to us.

Inviting us was only a means to cozy up to Alaric Faulkner.

You should show them what we’re made of and remind them that our Sterling Family still has the upper hand."

Faye Sterling nodded with a smile, "Alright, let’s head out as well."
