Her posture accentuated her curvaceous figure, so elegant that her pregnancy was barely noticeable.

As Aline watched Rena approach, she couldn't help but compare herself with Rena. Aline felt her gift for Rena seemed meager in comparison to Rena's emerald jewelry, but she still complimented.

“Rena, you look stunning tonight in that outfit."

Rena glanced at her.

She knew what was going through Aline's mind. She simply smiled in response. Then she entered the mansion, with Wendy accompanying her.

Rena had a close relationship with the Smith family, so there was no need for her to present an invitation.

Aline followed her.

Upon entering the mansion, she felt how high Rena‘s status was.

Rena's mere presence could be considered the most coveted invitation.

Inside the mansion, the atmosphere was lively. When the other ladies saw Aline with Rena, they understood that Aline had finally ridden on

Rena's coattails.

Rena started to engage with the other guests effortlessly.

Whenever someone greeted her, Rena would pause and engage in conversation with them.

After greeting some guests, Rena turned to the two men in front of her. She said to Aline, "This is Kyle Waston from Heron."

Aline also took notice of him.

But she hadn't expected that Albert would be attending the banquet as well.

He was typically quite frivolous, but tonight he was dressed formally, exuding an air of an elite, which caught Aline's attention.

Kyle from Heron had significant business dealings with Zack's father.

And Rena had a good relationship with Zack's father, so of course, they knew each other.

Noticing Rena, Kyle greeted her warmly.

"Rena, I heard from Brandon that you're pregnant. I didn't expect you to attend this banquet. How have you been? Brandon really misses you!"

Rena replied with a polite smile, "I've been well."
