Elva had intentionally dressed up, radiating a captivating charm.
"A Fond Dream is so enchanting. Beautiful and talented," remarked a fan.
“She's stunning. I thought A Fond Dream must be over forty. Turns out she's young and beautiful."
"I want to marry you, A Fond Dream!" a zealous fan shouted.
Brenda's friends were equally taken aback.
Brenda stood tall. "She's a distant relative of my family."
Conversely, when Tess laid eyes on Elva, she realized her well-laid plan was crumbled.
She had been convinced A Fond Dream was a man, only to discover it was a woman. Her scheme seemed destined for failure. Tess clenched her teeth in frustration.
Elva bestowed a smile upon the fans, poised to address them once more. Unexpectedly, a chilling and assertive voice cut through the air. “You seem to revel in deception, don't you? If you're A Fond Dream, then who am I?"
A woman approached the platform, her captivating countenance arresting the attention of everyone present. Hushed whispers filled the air as they were collectively awestruck by her beauty.
She was undeniably striking. Moreover, a sense of familiarity emanated from her.
Recognition dawned upon some.
“Lilah Phillips?" Elva exclaimed, gaping at Lilah in astonishment.
She couldn't fathom why Lilah was present or the significance behind her enigmatic words.
Elva wondered if Lilah was A Fond Dream.
But it seemed improbable. If Lilah was indeed A Fond Dream, there would be no necessity to conceal her identity. She possessed an undeniable youthfulness and beauty that could effortlessly captivate online attention if she were to reveal herself.
A savvy businesswoman like Lilah would never overlook an opportunity to capitalize on her image.
Only one possibility lingered: A Fond Dream must have sought out Lilah, asking her to assume her persona to bolster her own public image.
The vanity of this A Fond Dream appeared conspicuous, suggesting she might be lacking in her own allure.
With this realization, Elva's apprehensions dissolved. Standing tall, she fixed her gaze upon Lilah and asserted, "Lilah, today marks my engagement with my fans. What brings you here? Please depart, or I'll be forced to summon security."
Saul, witnessing the scene, found himself entirely perplexed, ensnared in the midst of the unfolding chaos.
How could there exist two A Fond Dreams?
The audience below fell into a puzzled silence.
“Elva, deceiving others to gratify your ego is one matter, but do not deceive yourself," Lilah remarked sardonically.
