As Sabrina continued chatting gleefully with Bettie, a scornful comment emanated from nearby, "She must be showing off to her friend."

"I caught a glimpse of her screen. There's no such person in Philade.

I don't know how she wormed her way in here," added another woman.

Sabrina looked up at the two women making snarky comments about her.

She suspected they were from the same country as her. Judging from the way they recognized her as a new face here, they seemed to be familiar with the people there.

Unperturbed by their comments, Sabrina continued her conversation with Bettie on her phone.

She was indeed in awe of the grandeur of this expansive manor.

The two women had ceased their chatter when Sabrina had turned her attention toward them. When Sabrina turned away again, the two women decided to stop talking about Sabrina and changed the topic.

"Bella!" A few minutes later, a woman of the two suddenly called out, jumping to her feet with her companion to welcome the person approaching.

Sabrina raised her head and saw Bella practically gliding toward her in a princess dress that seemed to flow like water and shimmer under the Light.

Bella paused as she noticed the two women and asked, “Alice, Anna, why are you sitting here?"

Alice and Anna looked at each other and felt flattered by Bella's attention, their eyes gleaming with eagerness. "It's a little noisy over there. You must be busy tonight. You don't have to come over here. We will join you there ourselves later."

"Very well. Have a rest here."

Bella brushed past them and stood in front of Sabrina with a warm smile. "Sabrina."

Sabrina's eyes widened slightly in surprise as she put away her phone and stood up. “Bella, you look so stunning today!"

Bella, in turn, smiled and took Sabrina's hand. "You are gorgeous.

Come with me. I'll introduce my friends to you before the party starts."

Alice and Anna witnessed this exchange and were stunned. They exchanged awkward glances.

Guiding Sabrina to Alice and Anna, Bella introduced them to Sabrina with a radiant smile, “This is Anna. This is Alice. This is my friend, Sabrina. You're all from the same country. I hope you all become good friends in the future."

"Pleased to meet you." Sabrina greeted them with an amiable smile.
