Arabella translated most of the affairs, and they were minimal – housekeeping, Elite houses asking for more funding, some members speaking about expanding their reach – things like that.
It wasn't until a familiar face stood up among the crowd that Colette really paid attention. It was Eveline Berry – Nora's mother!
How she had gone unnoticed in the crowd was probably due to her dress, simple black pants, and a blue blouse.
She spoke in English, “Members of the Court. I am here today to warn you about a threat to our livelihood." A murmur rippled through the crowd. Colette felt her stomach twist into knots.
“There is a newly awakened Elite on the scene," Eveline continued to speak, voice rising as the murmurs grew louder. “And she has already tried to seduce my very own daughter."
