After hanging out in the banquet hall with Jessica for a while, she slipped outside to the lawn, picking a fairly secluded spot.

She had just settled down when a stylish young man and woman, both in their twenties and looking like siblings, strolled over.

“Are you Rebecca Jensen?” the man asked.

Rebecca, though a bit confused, answered, “Yeah.”

The man dragged over a nearby chair and sat down across from her, a teasing note in his voice. “So, word is you’re Liam’s granddaughter and Mr. Guzman’s biological daughter. Is that actually true?”

“What’s it to you?” Jessica cut in sharply, instantly picking up on their unfriendly vibe. “Ever heard of introducing yourself before poking around in someone’s private business?”

“I’m talking to Rebecca. Who asked for your opinion?” the man said rudely.

“I called you a dog–now who’s barking?” Jessica shot back without hesitation.

The guy was furious. “You!”

“Calm down, bro,” the woman whispered, gently tugging his arm. “Remember why we’re here.”

That cooled him off a bit. He looked at Rebecca with a mocking smile. “Seriously? Someone from the Quinn and Guzman families hanging out with friends like these?”

“Looks like my friend was right,” Rebecca snapped back, refusing to let anyone badmouth Jessica. “Only dogs are so nosy.”

Those words set things off.

The atmosphere instantly got tense.

The woman snapped at Rebecca. “What’s with that attitude? My brother was just trying to talk to you, and this is how you act? And here I thought you were the princess of the Quinn and Guzman families, but you’re really no better than some country bumpkin!”
