"How does she compare to me?" Jenifer inquired, her tone laced with envy.

Aldrich cast his gaze upon Jenifer, wearing a smile, and remarked, "Women are always in a competition with each other. She's the daughter of a butler though. Why measure yourself against her? Don't demean yourself."

His tone carried a trace of disdain.

Selina was the subject of his scorn.

It made sense; after all, she was the offspring of a murderer. A good temperament amounted to nothing.

Jenifer responded with a smile.

Recalling the set of photos someone had sent her earlier, a subtle glimmer danced in her eyes.

It showed Selina had a history with Aldrich.

But it didn't matter. Now, he was her fiancé.

Jenifer hoped Selina understood her place and would refrain from enticing her fiancé.

Otherwise, she vowed to teach Selina a lesson!

In the hotel's banquet hall, several resplendent crystal chandeliers illuminated the space. As the Moreno family entered, the atmosphere warmed.

The guests comprised the wealthy and influential.

Not only Skrix's industry luminaries but also the Moreno family's relatives and friends were in attendance.

The Hughes family, as relatives through marriage, was also present.

Debora, appearing joyful, engaged in conversation with Brendan's parents in the rest area.

Frankie, Brian's father, was also among the attendees.

Simultaneously, Noemi, Brian's mother and friend of Gail, made her entrance.

Rosalynn and Brian followed Frankie and Noemi into the lounge, extending greetings to everyone present.

Debora's face was adorned with wrinkles as she spoke.
