Chapter 17: Confrontation in Shadows

The air in the dimly lit room grew heavy with tension as Evangeline and Adelaide found themselves face-to-face with Lady Genevieve, the true mastermind behind the secret society. Her presence exuded a menacing aura, and a chilling smile danced upon her lips.

Evangeline's heart raced, but she refused to succumb to fear. She exchanged a quick glance with Adelaide, silently conveying their determination to stand strong in the face of danger.
