The other women exchanged knowing looks, sensing the undercurrent of disfavor Rosalynn held for Ivy.

In the subtlety of address, the distinction was clear.

One was deemed Miss Larson, the other simply Tilda.

For a moment, all the ladies maintained their distance from Ivy.

Ivy's expression shifted once more upon realizing their actions.

It seemed that they were picking sides.

She cursed inwardly at the unnecessary bravado. This woman had no right to lecture her!

In the rest area. Selina encountered the Moreno couple.

Her eyes, tinged with red, she spoke in a hushed tone, “Kyson was adamant about escorting me here, are you displeased?"

She deliberately used Kyson as a shield, hoping it would prevent any objections from the Moreno couple.

As anticipated, Brendan remained silent.

With a warm smile, Gail said, "Now that you've arrived, enjoy yourself."

“Thank you," Selina said, her smile conveying her gratitude as she modestly bowed.

Casting a brief glance at Noemi, she approached and greeted her.

Noemi gave a nod and gently took her hand, her eyes reflecting sympathy.

She hadn't foreseen such an event.

Selina had endured a fall from grace. Such a decline in status could be distressing.

"Selina, where have you resided these past few days?"

Selina's gaze sparkled as she replied, “I've been at a hotel."

Noemi hesitated, as if she wanted to reveal more but decided against it.
