Chapter 81 She Must Be Under Some Sort of Spell

• Aurelia's steps faltered briefly, but she didn't turn around. Not even a glance was spared for Caspian, nor did she bother to respond.
• Caspian's words, however, piqued Rhiannon's curiosity. "Didn't you cut ties with the Draegen family? And let's not forget how they treated you back then. Why on earth would they suddenly invite you to Old Mr. Alex's birthday party?"
• Back when Aurelia had followed Caspian home, concealing her identity, not a single member of the Draegen family had approved of her. Their mockery behind her back was one thing, but they outright barred her from any public gatherings, claiming it wasn't appropriate for young women to show their faces too much. In truth, they were just worried a country girl like her would embarrass them.
