She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 255

The Sutton household was livelier than usual today.

As evening approached, more and more guests arrived, filling the estate with the sound of laughter and conversation.

Sabrina made her way to Octavia’s room in the quieter wing of the house.

“Grandma,” she greeted softly.

Octavia glanced up, a playful glint in her eye. “Sabrina, what brings you here? You should be getting yourself ready for the party—go meet the guests, don’t sneak in here hoping for a treat.” Though her words sounded like a scolding, her tone was nothing but doting.

Sabrina smiled and walked closer. “I’m all dressed. It’s just… this is my first time attending a party like this. I guess I’m not really used to it yet.”

She didn’t say she was nervous.

She didn’t say she disliked it.

She just said she wasn’t used to it.

Octavia reached out and took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “It’s alright, darling. I’ll be with you tonight. There will be plenty more parties like this in the future—you’ll get used to them, and you’ll make new friends along the way.”

Suddenly, Octavia seemed to remember something. “Will that friend of yours—the one who’s good with medicine—be coming tonight?”

Sabrina knew exactly who she meant: Stella.

She’d texted Stella a few days ago, and Stella had promised she’d come.

Sabrina didn’t have many friends—besides Stella, there was only Jocelyn. And then there was Bryce, but he was more of a business associate than a true friend.

She had really hoped Jocelyn could come to the party and bring Jenna along, the three of them together. But it was impossible.

Tonight, with so many people around, the Harper family would surely recognize Jocelyn. And Jenna and Lennox too.

Still, she saw the concern in Sabrina’s eyes. She waved to Marina, her attendant. “Alright, bring the medicine, just to put her mind at ease.”

Octavia turned back to her granddaughter, her expression softening. “Now then, it’s almost time. Do you have your dress ready?”

As she spoke, she looked Sabrina over and noticed the simple, everyday dress she was wearing—not at all the elegant gown one would expect for such an occasion.

Sabrina nodded. “Yes, Celine brought it to me just now. But… it was a bit too revealing. I felt uncomfortable, so I sent it back.”

“What? Your mother picked it out?” Octavia’s eyes widened in shock; this was not what she’d expected.

Her face darkened immediately.

Her granddaughter wasn’t even of age yet—what was Celine thinking, choosing something so inappropriate? Tonight’s guests included some of the most prominent people in Port City.

How could Sommer have agreed to this? And as for Celine—she had attended more parties than anyone in the family. Didn’t she know what was appropriate for a young lady to wear?
