Seeing the reassuring figure, Jennifer rushed toward him in tears. “Eli…”

Elijah glanced at her without saying anything. No one could read his expression under the dim lighting.

Kennedy noticed Jennifer’s disheveled appearance and asked, “What happened?”

The gathered guests joined in explaining. Although their words were somewhat biased toward Jennifer, they refrained from saying anything too harsh, given Skye’s reputation and Sheena’s stunning performance.
