Lily Armstrong tugged at the corner of her mouth, her smile stiff.
Alexander Knox's gaze drifted from her face to the dress Aria Richardson was holding, his eyes darkening slightly.
Lily Armstrong felt a little nervous under Alexander Knox's scrutiny, unconsciously pressing her nails into her fingers.
Aria Richardson tossed the dress back onto the gift box coldly, "I'll take the dress, thank you for your kindness, Miss Armstrong. Is there anything else you need?"
Lily Armstrong maintained her strained smile, "Nothing else."
"Alright." Aria Richardson stood up, "It's getting late, Nanny Thompson, see the guests out."
With that, Aria Richardson didn't spare them another glance and went straight upstairs.
Alexander Knox glanced at Lily Armstrong beside him and left.
Aria Richardson returned to her room and casually tossed the dress aside, Isla Sue walked in, looked at the dress, and picked it up to examine.
