At the same time, just as Cynthia was about to look for Moira, she discovered from a close friend that Moira and Barclay had already left the party ten minutes earlier. Were they gone?

They had left so quickly?

Cynthia's mood visibly soured, prompting her friend to inquire, "Cynthia, what's troubling you? You seem rather downcast!"

"What rivalry? My family has already cut ties with the Covington family!"

Cynthia's friend hesitated, "Because of Moira?"
