Everyone turned around to see Amy in a striking black dress with pearl earrings, walking toward them while exuding a graceful charm.
Amy looked at Elena, a bit surprised.
"Mrs. Mitchell? Why are you here?"
She was just feeling irritated from waiting in line. She was planning to see what was happening up front, only to find Elena and James in an awkward situation.
Seeing Amy, the doorman gave a flattering smile.
"Miss Lawrence, you're here. Please come in."
The Lawrence family was one of the hosts of the banquet. After Marianne’s recovery, Amy no longer stayed low-key, so the staff naturally recognized her.
Elena thought for a moment and spoke to Amy.
"Amy, this banquet is very important for your Uncle James and me. Can you take us in?"
Amy looked troubled; she didn't want to go against the Warner family.
Cecilia stepped in quickly.
"Great-aunt, I'll take you in."
Elena was delighted.
"Cecilia, you’re here, too?"
