The ballroom was alive with chatter and the rustle of silk. A soft blush adorned

Emily’s cheeks as she nodded subtly in acknowledgment.

Charlie descended the staircase, Kya in his arms. Kya waved back at

Magdalen, “I’ll be right back!”

Magdalen’s smile was radiant. “Take your time, I’ll be here!”

After Kya left, the makeup artist approached with a grin. “Magdalen, it’s time to

slip into the wedding gown!”

At that moment, Magdalen’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the message and

told the makeup artist, “Hold on a sec!”

Enter title…

It was a text from Morrison. [Grandpa Jarvis and Grandpa Quintin have arrived.

They’re in the VIP lounge at the back, hanging out with dad and the others. No

worries.]

Magdalen quickly replied to Morrison and turned to Estelle, “Grandpa’s here,

chilling in the back.”

Estelle’s eyes twinkled with joy, “I’ll go say hi to him!”

Sophia chimed in eagerly, “I’ll come too! I haven’t seen Grandpa Jarvis in ages!”

Emily suggested, “You guys go ahead. I’ll keep Magdalen company.”

Estelle nodded, “We’ll be back in a flash!”

“Send my love, and I’ll come to pay my respects with tea later!” Magdalen said

cheerfully.

“Mhm.”

As Estelle and Sophia made their way to the VIP area to greet Grandpa Jarvis,

they noticed the first floor was even more crowded than before, with elegantly

dressed guests mingling and conversing in small groups.

The Macclains had received an invitation from the Langstons, and Elizabeth,

surrounded by her daughters-in-law, had brought along only Sabina.

Carmella’s reputation had taken a nosedive, and Elizabeth had disowned her

granddaughter.

Sallie Macclain, always busy and with a rebellious streak, wasn’t close to the old

family estate.

Thus, Sabina had become the Macclain’s new showpiece.
