Surprised by the older woman's profound warmth, Raelynn quickly replied, "Of course. I would be honored."
Catching the bright smile on Raelynn's face.
Seraphina bit her lip.
A vicious spike of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Raelynn's smugness was practically dripping off her!
Just because she received a sliver of special treatment from Dr. Hayes, she was floating on air.
Raelynn was such a manipulative little snake, shamelessly using Preston's connections to rub shoulders with the elite!
Without Preston, a nobody like Raelynn wouldn't have a fraction of the qualifications to stand there.
Even Julian was stunned.
He knew his grandmother better than anyone; she rarely ever displayed such open admiration or warmth toward a stranger.
It made no sense.
Preston couldn't possibly wield that much influence over her.
Dr. Hayes never spared Seraphina a single glance.
Once Raelynn agreed, the matriarch turned sharply and headed toward the judges' pavilion.
It was as if Seraphina were completely invisible.
Utterly unworthy of her attention.
Watching the exchange.
Sebastian's eyes narrowed imperceptibly, though he remained unfazed.
This was simply how Dr. Hayes operated.
"Mr. Moreno, won't bringing Raelynn to an event of this caliber cause friction within your R&D team?" Seraphina asked, frowning at Preston.
A glorified intern who got booted off the final clinical trial—what right did she have to be here?
Preston laughed out loud. "Ms. Vance, if you can waltz in here on Mr. Croix's coattails without a single project up for approval, why wouldn't Raelynn have the right to be here?"
The double standard was frankly hilarious.
Seraphina hadn't expected Preston to publicly slap her down like that.
She glared violently at Raelynn.
What kind of poison had Raelynn been whispering in Preston's ear?
