NovelOnlineAfter all, being affiliated with the Bryant Group and the Universe
Group was a guarantee for success in Vagow.
And the Moreau family was no exception to this.
After much effort, Colette finally managed to secure an invitation, and immediately reached out to Marina,
asking her to accompany her to the grand event.
Unbeknownst to her, Marina hadn't received an invitation herself. In spite of this, Marina readily accepted
Colette's invitation to be her companion for the evening.
On the night of the banquet, Marina found herself unable to enter without an invitation. She had no choice but to
stand by the entrance, anxiously awaiting Colette. When she finally spotted Colette, she plastered a forced smile
on her face and hurriedly made her way towards her.

Colette, noticing Marina’s odd behavior, couldnt help but ask,
“Marina, why aren’t you going inside?”
Pretentiousness
A flicker of tension crossed Marina's face, but then, in a casual motion, she swept her hair aside, revealing an
elaborate necklace resting on her collarbone. Flashing a smile, she turned towards Colette and said, “I was
holding back until we could enter together, Colette.
Remember, we promised to keep each other company? It's been ages since we last got together. We need to
spend squality ttonight!”
Colette stood there, momentarily transfixed by the glimmering necklace that seemed to hold an entire galaxy
within.
She had a soft spot for luxurious jewels. Even though the Moreau family wasn’t as wealthy as it used to be, she
could still admire design craftsmanship through pictures.
So, she immediately recognized the piece. It was none other than the much sought-after “Stellar Galaxy,”
crafted by the renowned Master
Laims.

Was it possible that Marco had inquired about such a precious jewel with the intention of giving it to Marina?
A swift change flickered in Colette's gaze towards Marina, and an affectionate smile appeared on her face.
Grasping Marina's arm, she said, “Absolutely, let's proceed.”

The banquet that night was a grand affair, attended by almost all the influential figures of Vagow, including a few
of Marina's former close friends.
As Marina and Colette made their entrance, several young women of privilege concealed smirks behind their
hands.
One, donned in a soft yellow gown, approached Marina, cradling a wine glass, and snickered, “Well, well, look
who it is. Our infamous troublemaker, Miss Bryant. Who was foolish enough to invite you? If you cause another
scandal, it'll be a tragedy!”
Marina's face drained of color, her eyes welled up, and she shot a venomous glare at the girl, although she didn’t
dare to retaliate.
The girl's attention then darted to Colette standing next to Marina and burst into a fit of giggles.
“Ah, there's Colette too. You and our hopeless Marina, quite a pair of disasters, aren't you?”
