The evening's esteemed hosts, the Fosters, had made their entrance.

Evangeline, stunning in a black gown that made her porcelain skin glow, walked hand-in-hand with James. She was a vision, her figure and poise conjuring images of an enchantress from a fairy tale. The necklace she wore, with its massive blue gemstone flanked by diamonds, was a showstopper, leaving women in awe.

James, her companion, was the epitome of sophistication in his wine-red designer suit and gold-rimmed glasses, his handsome features rivaling the heartthrobs of Hollywood.

Together, they were a breathtaking pair, stealing the show effortlessly.

Julia's aura paled in comparison, and her envy boiled over. Why did Evangeline always have to outshine her? "Walt, look, isn't that Evangeline? What's she doing with the Fosters?" taunted Julia, noticing Walter's displeasure. A chilling dread settled over Walter.

Julia was incensed. There was no way she would let Evangeline bask in the limelight.

Her words were laced with outrage as if Evangeline's actions had smeared her own reputation. "Walt, shouldn't we give her a little nudge about her image? We wouldn't want her to drag the Gordon family name through the mud. It'd be such an ugly rumor."

Julia had turned into a self-appointed crusader for decency.
