Betty gripped her arm, which now sported a light bruise, and followed her mother into the venue away from the crowd.
Even though her mother had successfully won her father over all those years ago, Betty had never seen her more than a prudish, unruly woman who could never make it to the same level as those in her circle.
Sophia fell far short of the graceful stature of women like Mandy Lovelace from the Taylor family or Penelope Miller, Zoe's mother.
That proved to be a source of misfortune for Betty. After all, one couldn't select their birth circumstances.

This event had two parts—a cocktail party and the charity auction itself. Numerous A-list stars filled the party, and it seemed as if half of the celebrity circle was present tonight.
In her role as the general manager of the KS World Hotel and as the leader of the organizing team for the charity event, Alyssa found herself inevitably in the spotlight for interviews with the reporters.
Poised and composed, she confidently addressed questions from the cameras and microphones with ease.
"Ms. Alyssa, considering that Ada Kingsley has opted to collaborate with Berenike Hotel for her wedding, is the event you're currently organizing for MINT perceived as a strategic move to rival them?"
"I can see why you might think that, especially considering we're direct competitors with the Berenike Hotel," Alyssa replied with a smile.
She continued, "However, it's worth noting that MINT specifically chose us to host this event on their behalf. It's simply a matter of coincidence."
"There had been news of Ada considering KS World for her wedding previously. What prompted the sudden change of heart? Was there a specific reason behind this decision?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
