Chapter 84

“It’s the lady beside me. Miss Hailey Dalton, Suzanne said. Her voice was light, yet it caused everyone’s expressions to change.

Selena jumped up from her seat, her face filled with panic. Upstairs, Jeanie looked shocked. “How dare she do this?” she exclaimed.

Alice remained relatively composed, but her beautiful face darkened with anger. At that moment, Alice’s phone buzzed. It was a message from her bodyguard: [They were rescued.

‘Useless trash! Alice cursed deep down, then stood up and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go Jeanie did not understand why but hurriedly followed Alice out.

The commotion downstairs continued. The media frantically snapped pictures, not willing to miss a single shot. Selena struggled to maintain her composure but could not help but look toward upstairs.
