Betty gripped her arm, which now sported a light bruise, and followed her mother into the venue away
from the crowd.
Even though her mother had successfully won her father over all those years ago, Betty had never seen. her more than a
prudish, unruly woman who could never make it to the same level as those in her circle.
Sophia fell far short of the graceful stature of women like Mandy Lovelace from the Taylor family or
Penelope Miller, Zoe’s mother.
That proved to be a source of misfortune for Betty. After all, one couldn’t select their birth circumstances.
This event had two parts-a cocktail party and the charity auction itself. Numerous A-list stars filled the
party, and it seemed as if half of the celebrity circle was present tonight.
In her role as the general manager of the KS World Hotel and as the leader of the organizing team for the charity event, Alyssa
found herself inevitably in the spotlight for interviews with the reporters.
Poised and composed, she confidently addressed questions from the cameras and microphones with
ease.
“Ms. Alyssa, considering that Ada Kingsley has opted to collaborate with Berenike Hotel for her wedding, is the event you’re
currently organizing for MINT perceived as a strategic move to rival them?”
“I can see why you might think that, especially considering we’re direct competitors with the Berenike
Hotel,” Alyssa replied with a smile.
She continued, “However, it’s worth noting that MINT specifically chose us to host this event on their

She added, “Don’t give up now. I’m sure you’ll do your best next time. We’ll be sure to take your mistakes
in stride, too, and ensure we fulfill our end of the contract.”
