Chapter 26

Chapter 26 The Lowe siblings soon reached Regal Hotel. The banquet that day was grand, and several floors of the hotel were reserved for the occasion. The guests were all dressed to their nines with branded clothes and accessories. It was almost as if they were at a fashion show instead. in contrast, Roselynn’s appearance was dull, and Emmanuel’s was even shabbier. When they arrived at the entrance, Roselynn handed the guard her invitation. The guard let her in after a glance at it, but he stopped Emmanuel. “Mister, where is your invitation?” Emmanuel quickly turned to his sister. I thought she said she can have a plus–one with her invitation. Roselynn immediately put her hands on her hips and glared at the guard. “Did you see what kind of invitation this is? This is an invitation from the Lenoir family. Is there any problem with me bringing a relative in?” “Miss, no one other than the host is allowed to invite irrelevant individuals to the event,” the guard insisted, but his coworker soon gave him a look to gesture him to drop the case. If things were to blow up, the guard would be embarrassing the Lenoir family. Furthermore, there were plenty of guests that day. It would do no one any harm if they were to let a few more people into the area. “Go on in, then,” the guard finally said, relenting. “Hmph! I’m glad they’re smart enough. I would’ve gone to my boss otherwise.” Roselynn was still angry after entering the building. Yet, she could not help but think about how prestigious the Lenoir family had to be for her to get special treatment just by saying that her invitation was from the Lenoirs. Even though Claudette was technically her employer, she was often working alongside Roselynn. The two of them were so close to each other to the point they were almost best friends if not for their status difference. If Claudette were to find out that Roselynn had a bad time at the event, Roselynn was sure that Claudette would stand up for her. “Calm down, Roselynn. We’re in here now, aren’t we?” Emmanuel consoled her, and Roselynn finally let go of her anger. In the next second, she spotted the scrumptious dishes on the table, and she lunged over as if she was a starving lion. Emmanuel could not help but shake his head at the sight of that. It’s one thing for her to gobble down her food like this at home, but it’s another to throw all care about her image to the wind out in the public! In no time, Roselynn was forcing her brother to take plate after plate of food. After that, he put them all down on a table in the corner. Wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, Emmanuel said, “Roselynn, you came here to eat until the end of Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰind_ηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. the event, didn’t you?” “Why else would I be here?” Roselynn shamelessly admitted. “But Roselynn, aren’t you here to check out handsome fellows? Mom even asked me to help you size them up and to play the wingman if there’s someone suitable for you,” Emmanuel exclaimed. Not knowing how to deal with a serious Emmanuel, Roselynn frowned and said, “I can eat and check out handsome guys at the same time.” Left without a choice, Emmanuel took a seat beside his sister and started digging into the food. It was free, after all, and he would be a fool to refrain from all food that night. Not long after the two of them started polishing off the plates before them, a commotion broke out in the area. Everybody was walking toward the doorway, screaming enthusiastically. “What’s the matter? Who’s here?”  Roselynn was curious. She wondered if a rich attractive man was making a grand appearance like those romance shows she watched. Emmanuel had no idea what was going on, and he curiously rose to his feet like his sister to take a better -look at the situation. Alas, the crowd up ahead was large. Even though Emmanuel and Roselynn were tall, they still could not see who was in the middle of the crowd. Meanwhile, Mackenzie and her cousin, Beatrix, were being escorted by a group of bodyguards as they walked up the stairs while the guests of the banquet surrounded them. Mackenzie radiated beauty, and she was also tall, slender, and exuded a captivating aura. Every time she made an appearance at social events, she would make heads turn. Even though Beatrix was not as beautiful as her, her sweet and endearing looks made her the target of many scions‘ courtships. Furthermore, the star of the night was their aunt, who had recently been promoted to the city’s deputy mayor. The two of them were the daughters of the wealthiest family in Yeringham, and they were also the deputy mayor’s nieces. Naturally, they would also be in the spotlight. “Ms. Quillen! Ms. Quillen!”
