Chapter 1627 is pretty good.
Selena finally turned her head and looked at Lillian standing next to her. Lillian met her gaze without flinching. The other socialites
around them watched in fear and awe as the two women stood together, their tension palpable.
But then, almost simultaneously, Selena's cold demeanor softened and Lillian's aloofness melted away as they both smiled.
Lillian extended a hand to Selena. "Miss Turner."
Selena shook it lightly. "Welcome, Miss Lillian."
As soon as their hands separated, Selena turned and walked towards the hall with Lillian following calmly behind.
It wasn't until they had left that the other socialites were able to relax from the tense atmosphere that had surrounded them.
One of them bit her lip thoughtfully. "Did anyone else notice something between Miss Turner and Miss Lillian?"

In terms of status and position, Selena was no match for Lillian - even though she was the leader of Lab 717 and owner of Sacred
Pearl. It was more likely that Lillian would becthe next empress since she held a central government position in the city.
The gap between them couldn't be bridged by mere effort alone - ninety-nine percent of women in this world would be
overshadowed by someone like Lillian.
Even if not short, it is still impossible to be absolutely superior.
But when Selena faces Lillian, there is a feeling of pressure on the other person.
And Lillian seems accustomed to this way of getting along, even calm and composed.
"A strange feeling makes one's heart tremble..."
Another young lady spoke up, "Wasn't there a rumor before that Miss Turner looks exactly like the late Empress who just passed
away in the central city? Maybe that's why..."
Faced with their former monarch, ordinary people would probably show respect?
It seems that | can only console myself in this way.
Many young ladies exchanged glances, unsure whether to breathe a sigh of relief or remain on edge.
If Selena can outdo Lillian, the advantage is that they won't be at a disadvantage in the upcoming negotiations.
The downside is... Can they really participate in the confrontation between these two women?
If one goes wrong, things will be ruined and it may affect one's family and relatives.
Winnie took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, we are in the capital city now. Even if the other party is the governor of the
central city, we cannot lose our manners and face."

After speaking, she took the lead and followed.
The other young ladies exchanged a glance and followed suit.
In the flower hall, Selena was already sitting in her seat, elegantly sipping tea with her head lowered.
Lillian sat across from Selena, calmly surveying her surroundings with interest. When her gaze fell upon a group of debutantes
entering the room, she smiled and remarked, "This scene is quite picturesque..."
Selena set down her teacup and replied slowly, "Yes, it's rather nice."
Noticing the apprehension in the debutantes’ demeanor, Lillian chuckled softly. "No need to be nervous. I'm here on behalf of
Central City to discuss spersonal matters with Miss Turner."
Everyone present was likely aware of what this personal matter entailed.
Seeing that Selena remained seated and that Lillian had no ill intentions, the others quickly recovered from their initial surprise and
took their seats as well.
