Chapter-26

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. 

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!"
