"Miss Gordon, it's your turn to step onstage."

Rena draped her arm around Eloise's shoulder and remarked, "Capture more photographs of me."

Eloise hurriedly adjusted Rena's attire once again and assured, “Don't let your clothes get disheveled. Go on now. I promise to take stunning snapshots of my daughter."

With a smile, Rena gracefully ascended the stage.

However, when she caught sight of the award presenter, her smile froze in place.

It was Korbyn who would bestow the award upon her

At this juncture, thousands of individuals occupied both the stage and the surrounding areas, while major media outlets streamed the event live. Korbyn gazed at Rena with a smile and softly beckoned her, "Rena, come here."

This instantly sparked a frenzy among the media

Many were aware that the Fowler family had nearly gained a daughter-in-law.

And that woman was none other than Rena on the stage right now.

The media hadn't anticipated such an air of tranquility since they all knew things didn't work out between Rena and Waylen.

Rena struggled to muster a genuine smile.

She wasn't foolish. She surmised that Korbyn must have exerted his influence to bestow the award upon her and she had an inkling of his underlying motives.

Yet, she couldn't afford to lose composure amidst the multitude of cameras.

With great effort, Rena plastered on a smile and gracefully accepted the award.

Little did she know that Korbyn was as audacious as his son. Even after the ceremony, he kept her close, his arm draped over Rena‘'s shoulder, beckoning the media to capture more photos, assuming the role of an elder.

“It's a rare occasion to present an award to the younger generation of our family. I am delighted," he announced

"I shall have these photos developed and displayed in my office. Be sure to capture our Rena's beauty splendidly. Girls have an affinity for such aesthetics."

This sparked yet another media frenzy.

The media eagerly seized upon certain keywords...

“younger generation of our family", “displayed in my office", “our Rena."

Rena found it increasingly difficult to maintain a genuine smile.
