Serena Sullivan pressed it several times apologetically and said to Nina Monroe, "I’m sorry, I forgot to close the pin."
"It’s okay." Nina Monroe shook her head, carefully reattaching the brooch to her dress.
"Mrs. Grant, thank you for passing on the gift. I really like it."
Serena Sullivan smiled, "I’m glad you like it."
"By the way, where are your parents? Did they come?"
Nina Monroe was taken aback by Serena Sullivan’s smile and replied after a moment, "They had something else to attend to and couldn’t make it."
"Oh." Serena Sullivan’s smile grew wider, clearly not believing Nina Monroe’s words.
How could the biological parents miss their daughter’s birthday party?
Nina Monroe changed the subject, talking to Serena Sullivan about jewelry when suddenly, an angry woman’s voice was heard from outside the hall.
"Felix Lockwood, come out here!"
With several loud shouts, everyone looked in astonishment in the direction of the door, where they saw a woman storm in, shouting "Felix Lockwood."
"Who is Felix Lockwood?" someone asked first.
They were even more puzzled by why a woman would rush into the Ford Family’s party looking for a man named "Felix Lockwood."
This man was also at the party.
But there was no man named Felix Lockwood in the upper-class society of the Imperial Capital.
Claire Sullivan also found it strange; she saw Renee Grant, then turned her head to look at Serena Sullivan.
Since Serena Sullivan went to talk with Renee Grant, Renee Grant hadn’t bothered her for quite a while.
But why is Renee Grant here again?
And how could she be shouting "Felix Lockwood," was Felix Lockwood really here?
Perhaps she had come to cause trouble again.
Many questions flashed through Claire Sullivan’s mind. As the host, Mrs. Kane led others to greet and stop Renee Grant.
"Excuse me, who are you? Who are you looking for?"
"Renee Grant." Renee Grant looked at Mrs. Kane’s smiling face and felt instantly that this woman wasn’t easy to deal with.
No, she already knew who this woman was.
"I’m looking for Felix Lockwood."
Renee Grant said loudly, looking up at the rooms upstairs, "Tell him to come down."
She knew Felix Lockwood well; if Felix Lockwood was really here, he was definitely hiding in one of the rooms upstairs.
"Why would he be here?"
Mrs. Kane held back her anger and hatred, smiling as she spoke.
"Oh." Renee Grant’s voice turned cold, "So, you do know my husband."
Renee Grant spoke deliberately, and after she spoke, Mrs. Kane’s expression changed.
"I don’t know if the Felix Lockwood you’re speaking of is the one I know."
"I have a classmate named Felix Lockwood, the eldest son of The Lockwood Family in Solaria, and he’s quite familiar with Claire Sullivan."
Nicely segueing, Mrs. Kane steered the conversation toward Claire Sullivan.
"If it’s the same person, I think you’d better ask Miss Claire Sullivan."
The statement was cleverly phrased, directly redirecting trouble towards Claire Sullivan, implying that Claire Sullivan’s relationship with Felix Lockwood was complicated.
She knew well that Renee Grant’s temper was aggressive and intolerant of women around Felix Lockwood.
"Alright, very well." Renee Grant responded coldly, looking at Claire Sullivan in the crowd.
Claire Sullivan thought Renee Grant would come to settle the score, pondering how to handle it when suddenly a slap echoed in the banquet hall.
"You trollop, how dare you seduce my husband." Renee Grant shouted, stepping forward to viciously grab Mrs. Kane’s hair, the sudden swift movement leaving Mrs. Kane stunned.
She had expected Renee Grant to go after Claire Sullivan, but unexpectedly, Renee Grant slapped her and then lunged in to grab her hair.
A shrew is a shrew.
Renee Grant was always fierce in fights; she yanked back, pulling out quite a bit of Mrs. Kane’s hair, shocking everyone present.
