The atmosphere at the party was lively. sses were clinking and people were mingling in the splendid hall.


    When Ivanna and I entered, it was already prettyte, and many guests had arrived.


    I recognized some faces at the g, but I had to admit that I was not acquainted with most of the people here.


    As we walked into the venue, I overheard people whispering, "What beautiful women."


    "Who are those two? I don''t think I''ve seen them before."


    "They''re gorgeous. They might be from a prestigious family, and they might have just returned to the country recently."N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    I realized the whispers were talking about us. Of course they hadn''t seen us before since I had never attended events like this. But I wasn''t interested in their discussions and had no intention of drawing attention to myself. I simply smiled and ignored them.


    I nced around and looked for Trinity. It seemed she hadn''t arrived.


    I asked Ivanna, "Will Jared be here today?"


    Ivanna shook her head. "He usually avoids things like this unless it''s necessary or if there''s someone special he must meet."


    I nodded, realizing that Jared had always been low-key and wouldn''t attend events like this unless there was apelling reason. Today''s gathering had been organized by several renownedpanies, but it wasn''t significant enough to draw his attention.


    Key individuals in the business and entertainment circles were present, and I exchanged greetings with some familiar faces.


    I spotted Liora unexpectedly. What surprised me more was that she was apanied by someone familiar-Vicky, the woman I met yesterday.


    I found that puzzling. How was Vicky connected with Liora? They did seem like they were birds of a feather.


    Ivanna noticed my gaze fixed on a particr spot and asked me in a low voice, "Do you know any of those people around Liora?"


    I looked over at Liora. Apart from Vicky, who I met yesterday, I didn''t know any of the others.


    I shook my head yfully, saying, "Her circle changes too quickly."


    At that moment, Trinity finally made her entrance, capturing the attention of many attendees.


    I turned to Ivanna, and we shared a knowing smile. "Yes, she''s very ambitious, and she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."


    We exchanged nces, acknowledging Liora''s approach in everything she did.


    I could see her chatting animatedly with several gentlemen from a distance, exuding an air of pride. I was certain she felt that Ardora was securely within her grasp, and this was undoubtedly her moment of triumph.


    Just then, amotion near the entrance caught my attention. As I looked over, I noticed three morous women walking in side by side.


    As soon as they entered the hall, they immediately attracted the attention of many eager male guests. It seemed that those three beauties had a considerable presence.


    Ivanna snorted disdainfully. "These so-called upper ss events are nothing special. Anyone can just show up. See the tall one in the middle? She''s not even a socialite. She''s just a celebrity."


    "Oh, no wonder..." I squinted my eyes. "No wonder she''s so popr."


    "They''vee here with a stronger purpose than Liora. They''re trying to ''hook up'' with the ''big shots'' here, hoping to marry into a wealthy family. These gatherings are a feast. It''s the best ce for them to showcase themselves." en.s


    "It''s also a shortcut." That was the highlight of events like this.


    "The tall one is the backbone of QM Entertainment."


    Suddenly, it clicked in my mind. "Poppy Quinn?"


    "Yes. That''s her, She and Harmony


    were once fiercepetitors from differentpanies. But that woman, is even more of a schemer than Harmony. Unfortunately, Harmony was ruined by Ste." Ivanna looked at Poppy''s face with hint of helplessness. en.s


    "Otherwise, given her poprity at that time, she would have been


    more famous than this woman. Now that Harmony has fallen, she''s standing out on her own, riding a wave of good luck. Resources are


    flowing like water toward her."


    As Ivanna delved into the intricacies of their industry, I couldn''t help but admire her knowledge.


    While I was engrossed in observing the three beauties, a familiar voice greeted me, "Hey. Ms. Chloe, we meet again."
