Karina, intertwining her arm with Rosalynn's, cast a fleeting glance at Selina's retreating figure as the pair strolled toward the hotel entrance.

"Rosalynn, did you extend an invitation to Selina?"

“No, my brother brought her in," Rosalynn responded.

Karina sneered.

"She's really thick-skinned. If it were me, I'd prefer to retreat and avoid becoming a spectacle for others. But she seems unfazed, parading in public without a care for onlookers."

Rosalynn arched her eyebrows and remarked, “So your mental fortitude isn't as resilient as hers."

Karina shrugged.

"I don't want to measure myself against such individuals."

Rosalynn smiled in response.

Inadvertently, her gaze fell upon Aldrich and Jenifer.

The Hughes family and the Moreno family shared familial ties, making Aldrich's presence from the Hughes family expected.

Her curiosity piqued at Aldrich bringing Jenifer along.

Individuals who bring their partners to such events typically share a close bond.

She had requested Hutton to send Jenifer a series of photos featuring Aldrich and Selina together. Had Jenifer received them?

Rosalynn contemplated how this woman felt about Selina's presence.

Lost in her thoughts, she and Karina reached the hotel entrance.

Observing hotel security detaining a woman and denying her entry caught their attention.

The woman had shoulder-length curls and sported glasses perched on her nose.

Her physique was lean, and instead of a dress, she opted for a modest white shirt paired with a plain, long skirt.

She exuded a quiet elegance, radiating an intellectual allure.
