After all, being affiliated with the Bryant Group and the Universe


    Group was a guarantee for sess in Vagow.


    And the Moreau family was no exception to this.


    After much effort, Colette finally managed to secure an invitation, and immediately reached out to


    Marina, asking her to apany her to the grand event.


    Unbeknownst to her, Marina hadn’t received an invitation herself. In spite of this, Marina readily


    epted Colette’s invitation to be herpanion for the evening.


    On the night of the banquet, Marina found herself unable to enter without an invitation. She had no


    choice but to stand by the entrance, anxiously awaiting Colette. When she finally spotted Colette, she


    stered a forced smile on her face and hurriedly made her way towards her.


    Colette, noticing Marina’s odd behavior, couldn’t help but ask,


    “Marina, why aren’t you going inside?”


    Pretentiousness


    A flicker of tension crossed Marina’s face, but then, in a casual motion, she swept her hair aside,


    revealing an borate ne resting on her corbone. shing a smile, she turned towards Colette


    and said, “I was holding back until we could enter together, Colette.


    Remember, we promised to keep each otherpany? It’s been ages since west got together. We


    need to spend some quality time tonight!”


    Colette stood there, momentarily transfixed by the glimmering ne that seemed to hold an entire


    gxy within.


    She had a soft spot for luxurious jewels. Even though the Moreau family wasn’t as wealthy as it used to

    Gxy,” crafted by the renowned Master


    Laims.

    A swift change flickered in Colette’s gaze towards Marina, and an affectionate smile appeared on her


    face. Grasping Marina’s arm, she said, “Absolutely, let’s proceed.”


    The banquet that night was a grand affair, attended by almost all the influential figures of Vagow,


    including a few of Marina’s former close friends.


    As Marina and Colette made their entrance, several young women of privilege concealed smirks


    behind their hands.


    One, donned in a soft yellow gown, approached Marina, cradling a wine ss, and snickered, “Well,


    well, look who it is. Our infamous troublemaker, Miss Bryant. Who was foolish enough to invite you? If


    you cause another scandal, it’ll be a tragedy!”


    Marina’s face drained of color, her eyes welled up, and she shot a venomous re at the girl, although


    she didn’t dare to retaliate.


    The girl’s attention then darted to Colette standing next to Marina and burst into a fit of giggles.


    “Ah, there’s Colette too. You and our hopeless Marina, quite a pair of disasters, aren’t you?”
