Chapter 233

Christina had been worried that Lauren might rudely kick her out. But not

only did that not happen, Lauren treated her so warmly.

Before she knew it, Christina was being escorted into the main hall by two of the most influential women in the circle, one on each side.

When it came time to sit, both Lauren and Diana wanted Christina to sit beside them, leaving her unsure of what to do.

It had been so long since Christina felt this kind of attention. Even though the two women were about her age, the feeling of being valued made her feel elated.

In the end, Christina chose to sit next to Diana. There was no other reason-

despite feeling flattered, she still kept her wits about her and remembered her purpose for coming today.

She was here to help Brittany expand her network. Since there were too many uncertainties with Lauren, who might eventually learn about her poor relationship with Paisley, Diana seemed like the safer choice. Today, Lauren had elevated her status because of Paisley. But next time, if Lauren found out the truth, she might turn against her.

So Christina was determined to connect with women who didn't know Paisley. Once she and Brittany established strong relationships with these ladies, they'd naturally become Brittany's network.

That way, she wouldn't need to rely on Gregory or Paisley anymore. By then, Gregory might even come groveling to Brittany. With these thoughts, Christina became more certain that sitting next to Diana was the right choice. However, she failed to notice Julia, who had to move further away because of Christina's presence.
