The implication is that the Turner family has long since declined, and everyone else present is only here out of respect for Osvaldo.
Moreover, although Christ's attitude is uncertain, the Shaw family is clearly here to make trouble for Selena!
Even if the Riddle family is barely holding up the scene, tonight's banquet will certainly make Selena the laughingstock of the entire capital!
Patrick's eyes were tinged with a hint of coldness as he calmly asked, "Is that so?"
In the pause between her words, he looked up towards the direction of the entrance.
Vivian sneered, "Apart from Osvaldo, James, and Richard who are only here because of him, who in the capital would even remember the Turner family?"
Selena is bound to be disappointed tonight!
Thinking this, Vivian crossed her arms and looked at Patrick with a proud expression, following his gaze.
Just then, the doors of the hall were pushed open from the outside, and a group of people walked in, chatting and laughing.
When they saw the group of people walking in, Vivian's smile suddenly froze on her face.
The young ladies standing beside her couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
It was Lady Lauren, and besides her were seven or eight high society ladies.
War journalist Savannah Cunningham, charity ambassador Kayla Clarke, diplomatic queen Melissa Jordan... each one was a legendary woman in various fields of the capital.
Even if all the noble ladies attending the banquet at the Riddle family tonight were added together, they could not match the weight of one of these ladies.
Vivian's face turned pale and she staggered in place. Suddenly losing her composure, she rushed up to block Lady Lauren and forced a smile, "Madam, did you invite a few ladies to come with you?"
Lady Lauren was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly, "No, I just happened to run into them outside and came in together with them."
The blood drained from Vivian's face in an instant.
Melissa crossed her arms and looked Vivian up and down. A hint of scrutiny appeared on her cold face as she said, "Is this Callum's daughter? Why doesn't she look anything like her parents?"
Melissa was cold-hearted and had been abroad for years, so she wasn't familiar with the socialites and debutantes of the capital. As a result, this one sentence was simply devastating.
Vivian looked embarrassed.
Looking at Vivian's pale face, Lady Lauren gently said, "You misunderstood. This is the lady from the Shaw family, Selena should not have arrived yet."
"No wonder," Melissa immediately withdrew her gaze, bypassed Vivian, and walked forward. "This is too far away..."
Vivian's face turned pale again in an instant.
Before she could recover from this shock, a group of people walked in together from the door, led by two elderly people, one with a serious face and the other with a smiling and benevolent expression.
At the sight of the two old people, there was another round of exclamations on the scene. Almost all the young ladies couldn't stand steady.
"Isn't that the principal of Capital University and Mr. Jenkins from the fragrance industry? Why are they here?" someone asked.
"Selena is the champion of the domestic fragrance industry, so it makes sense for Mr. Jenkins to come, but why did Mr. Chow come?" another person wondered.
Patrick greeted them personally, "Mr. Chow, Mr. Jenkins."
Mr. Jenkins looked around the hall and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the girl?"
Patrick smiled, "Selena hasn't arrived yet."
Mr. Jenkins immediately turned around and left.
Principal Chow said cheerfully, "I heard that that girl didn't want to come to our Capital University, so I had to come and invite her myself. The President of Creephia University and Mr. Newman personally called me, asking me to bring her over no matter what..."
Patrick laughed and said, "Selena will come to register in two days."

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
