Due to the broken engagement, there had been some unpleasantness between the Freeman and Moore families. Furthermore, with Elijah’s continued absence, there had beeri numerous speculations.
Hence, Faye deliberately attended the event, dressing up to the nines and letting everyone witness the unswerving strength of the Freeman family
“But, Mom, they…”
Erin, who had been pampered since childhood, was unwilling to endure such humiliation. She wanted to argue further but was interrupted as Bethany, donning an elegant dress, gently grasped her wrist.
Bethany leaned in and whispered something in Erin’s ear.
Erin instinctively looked toward the second–floor crowd, where Sheena stood beside Vanessa.
Sheena was also looking at her.
Their eyes met, and Sheena chuckled softly before turning her head to engage with Howard.
However, what seemed like a casual smile was a clear provocation in Erin’s eyes, and she clenched her jaw, murmuring, “That bitch!”

Kennedy was taken aback but intrigued. “Ms. Carver, what great idea do you have? Let’s hear it.
Bethany’s smile deepened, staring at Sheena not far away.
“I’ve heard that Mr. Lawson’s companion has exceptional martial arts skills. She supposedly easily takes on five opponents at once. I’m a bit skeptical, so how about we have Ms. Sheena spar with Brandon? A little exhibition to liven up the event?”
Sheena was savoring a delicate dish Howard had served when she was unexpectedly called out.
The venue fell quiet, all of them were having the same thought. No matter how skilled Sheena was, how could she compare to Brandon? Not to mention the vast difference in physical strength between a man and a woman. Sheena was slender and could not possibly win against the master.
It was clearly an attempt to put her in a difficult position!
