The Lowe siblings soon reached Regal Hotel.
The banquet that day was grand, and several floors of
the hotel were reserved for the occasion.
The guests were all dressed to their nines with
branded clothes and accessories. It was almost as if
they were at a fashion show instead.
in contrast, Roselynn’s appearance was dull, and
Emmanuel’s was even shabbier.
When they arrived at the entrance, Roselynn handed
the guard her invitation.
The guard let her in after a glance at it, but he stopped
Emmanuel. “Mister, where is your invitation?”
Emmanuel quickly turned to his sister. I thought she
said she can have a plus–one with her invitation.
Roselynn immediately put her hands on her hips and
glared at the guard. “Did you see what kind of
invitation this is? This is an invitation from the Lenoir
family. Is there any problem with me bringing a relative
in?”
“Miss, no one other than the host is allowed to invite
irrelevant individuals to the event,” the guard insisted,
but his coworker soon gave him a look to gesture him
to drop the case.
If things were to blow up, the guard would be
embarrassing the Lenoir family.
Furthermore, there were plenty of guests that day. It
would do no one any harm if they were to let a few
more people into the area.
“Go on in, then,” the guard finally said, relenting.
“Hmph! I’m glad they’re smart enough. I would’ve gone
to my boss otherwise.”
Roselynn was still angry after entering the building. Yet,
she could not help but think about how prestigious the
Lenoir family had to be for her to get special treatment
just by saying that her invitation was from the Lenoirs.
Even though Claudette was technically her employer,
she was often working alongside Roselynn. The two of
them were so close to each other to the point they
were almost best friends if not for their status
difference.
If Claudette were to find out that Roselynn had a bad
time at the event, Roselynn was sure that Claudette
would stand up for her.
“Calm down, Roselynn. We’re in here now, aren’t we?”
Emmanuel consoled her, and Roselynn finally let go of
her anger.
In the next second, she spotted the scrumptious dishes
on the table, and she lunged over as if she was a
starving lion.
Emmanuel could not help but shake his head at the
sight of that. It’s one thing for her to gobble down her
food like this at home, but it’s another to throw all care
about her image to the wind out in the public!
In no time, Roselynn was forcing her brother to take
plate after plate of food. After that, he put them all
down on a table in the corner.
Wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, Emmanuel
said, “Roselynn, you came here to eat until the end of
the event, didn’t you?”
“Why else would I be here?” Roselynn shamelessly
admitted.
“But Roselynn, aren’t you here to check out handsome
fellows? Mom even asked me to help you size them up
and to play the wingman if there’s someone suitable
for you,” Emmanuel exclaimed.
Not knowing how to deal with a serious Emmanuel,
Roselynn frowned and said, “I can eat and check out
handsome guys at the same time.”
Left without a choice, Emmanuel took a seat beside his
sister and started digging into the food. It was free,
after all, and he would be a fool to refrain from all food
that night.
Not long after the two of them started polishing off the
plates before them, a commotion broke out in the
area.
Everybody was walking toward the doorway,
screaming enthusiastically.
“What’s the matter? Who’s here?”
Roselynn was curious. She wondered if a rich attractive
man was making a grand appearance like those
romance shows she watched.
Emmanuel had no idea what was going on, and he
curiously rose to his feet like his sister to take a better
-look at the situation. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Alas, the crowd up ahead was large. Even though
Emmanuel and Roselynn were tall, they still could not
see who was in the middle of the crowd.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie and her cousin, Beatrix, were
being escorted by a group of bodyguards as they
walked up the stairs while the guests of the banquet
surrounded them.
Mackenzie radiated beauty, and she was also tall,
slender, and exuded a captivating aura. Every time she
made an appearance at social events, she would
make heads turn.
Even though Beatrix was not as beautiful as her, her
sweet and endearing looks made her the target of
many scions‘ courtships.
Furthermore, the star of the night was their aunt, who
had recently been promoted to the city’s deputy
mayor. The two of them were the daughters of the
wealthiest family in Yeringham, and they were also the
deputy mayor’s nieces. Naturally, they would also be in
the spotlight.
“Ms. Quillen! Ms. Quillen!”
