Each portion amounted to about 200, 000 dollars.

Exhaustion evaporated from everyone's being as they sat upright, fixating their gaze on the bills.

Rena's smile radiated warmth.

"Here. 200, @0@ dollars each one of you.

Furthermore, Mr. Carson is hosting a dinner party at the hotel tonight.

You all can relax for a while."

Exultation reverberated through the room as everyone marveled at Rena's extraordinary generosity.

200, 000 dollars...

Zack would typically dismiss such a sum, but he couldn't help but admire Rena's ability to win people over with her generosity.

Zack pocketed the money and whispered, “Alright. Why don't we be dance partners?"

Rena declined, employing his own tactics against him.

"I don't dance with people younger than me."

Zack snorted and made his exit.

Rena began to prepare for the night.

Indeed, she had to attend the party tonight. On one hand, she didn't want to cast a negative light on Brandon. On the other hand, she sought to expand her social network.

Returning to the hotel, she slipped into a champagne-colored embroidered gown: a domestic brand's exquisite haute couture piece.

Valued at 800, 00 dollars, it was a garment not easily obtained, requiring connections even for those willing to splurge.

Certainly, Vera played a pivotal role in assisting Rena in acquiring this exquisite dress.

After changing into her dress, Rena proceeded to apply her makeup. She then called Vera to express her concern that the dress appeared excessively extravagant.

In a delicate tone, Vera responded, "It should be ceremonial. In the business world, your attire should immediately convey a sense of opulence. Fine feathers make fine birds."

Rena gazed at her reflection in the mirror.
