A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 611

Rex's expression cooled. "My sister's methods are still a bit too gentle."

That guy, Rowan. No matter how Rex looked at him, he didn't seem good enough for Elissa.

But that was for Elissa herself to decide.

It wasn't anyone else's place to snatch him away.

Jesse shook his head, not quite agreeing. "This time, it's hard to say."

He just felt that Laurel was acting a bit too calm today.

Like she was absolutely certain of a long-planned victory.

Laurel was aware of her brothers' gazes, but she didn't so much as glance their way.

Tonight, many guests had traveled all the way from Cresthaven, including numerous old family friends of the Wilkinsons.

Old Mr. Wilkinson disliked such occasions and hadn't come, so it naturally fell to Laurel to hold the fort.

However, this kind of scene was nothing to her; she handled it with effortless grace.

Before stepping into the private room, Maya instinctively glanced in Laurel's direction.

Seeing that Laurel was completely ignoring her, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Tristan could finalize the marriage agreement with Matriarch Paige tonight, she would never have to deal with the attitudes of Suzanne and the Wilkinson siblings ever again.

As for Elissa...

A discarded woman who had been passed around. Even if she was welcomed back into the Wilkinson family, how could she ever compete with Maya's glory?

The waiter pushed the door open for her. "Ms. Maya, please."

"Mhm."

She tilted her chin up arrogantly, stepping into the private room on her stilettos, and put on a sweet smile when she saw Paige and Tristan.

"Matriarch Paige."

She called out with a smile, then walked over to Tristan. "Dad."

Tristan was still displeased about the incident at Zephyr Manor that morning, but since this concerned his daughter's major life event, he nodded and turned to Paige. "I won't hide it from you. To be honest, my girl has had her heart set on Rowan for years."
