Chapter 458
Though it wasn’t a grand affair, the event still drew an impressive crowd.
After all, the Osborne family was at the height of their influence, and everyone was eager to curry favor with them.
Willow also attended, dressed in her most splendid attire, just as Kelsey had requested.
After all, as the very face of the Osborne family and their new bride, Willow thought, “There’s nothing wrong with dressing a bit more lavishly.’
In just a few days, the Osborne family’s storerooms were overflowing with gifts from all directions.
Meanwhile, Willow’s popularity soared to unprecedented heights, so much so that the common people even began clamoring for her to be granted a noble title.
Such commotion naturally reached the palace’s notice.
Upon hearing the news, the Queen immediately sensed something was amiss.
The Queen scoffed inwardly, ‘A mere face covering causing such an uproar? It’s not some miraculous panacea.’
Yet Kelsey actually bought into the hype and even hosted a party at her residence.
Though it wasn’t a grand banquet, this move still managed to draw attention from all quarters.
The Queen immediately summoned both Kelsey and Willow to the palace.
Upon hearing the news, both Kelsey and Willow were grinning from ear to ear.
Kelsey beamed at Willow and said, “As a newlywed, you should have gone to the palace to pay your respects to the Queen, but things have been so busy lately that I haven’t had you go. Now that the Queen has summoned us both to the palace, this is truly a tremendous honor.”
Kelsey was radiant with pride. The Osborne family had recently been in the eye of the storm, facing widespread criticism, but now she finally felt vindicated-walking with her head held high, her back straighter than ever.
Willow was all smiles, thrilled at being summoned by the Queen. ‘Maybe Her Majesty will even reward me,’ she thought, excitement bubbling up inside her.
‘If people really petitioned for me to receive a noble title, I’d never have to bow to anyone again,’ she mused.
The more Willow imagined it, the more exhilarated she became-she simply couldn’t wipe the grin off her face.
Soon, Kelsey and Willow arrived at Phoenix Hall.
