Servers in white shirts and black vests moved through the crowd, carrying trays She wore a simple white blazer and slightly heeled shoes, with white wide-leg trousers that made her legs look longer.

Her attire was quite understated compared to the luxurious dresses around her, but her appearance ensured that she wouldn't go unnoticed.

Since earlier that year, the Carnegie family had hosted a family recognition event, causing many to immediately recognize her as Theo's god-granddaughter.

Everyone who attended the recognition event knew she was Kenneth's wife, Kenneth himself had confirmed it.

Additionally, Kenneth was nothing like the rumors claimed; he was neither disabled nor close to death
