Whitney Collins was biting her nails angrily, completely disregarding her usual ladylike demeanor.

Who was that woman, and why was she appearing next to Matthew when Whitney was the only one who was allowed to be by his side?

Not to mention, the person responsible for arranging the seating this time must have been a fool. Why would they place her seat so far away from Matthew's when they grew up together? They should have seated her closer to him.

With those thoughts in mind, Whitney stood up from her seat with the intention of walking over to Matthew.
