Almost everyone’s faces brightened with smiles as they turned to Davina, their expressions filled with admiration and affection for her beauty.
This was especially true for those with sons in their families, who were already considering a potential marriage alliance with the Barlows.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Barlow, we’ll take good care of your daughter, one of them reassured her.
Yeah… your daughter is truly remarkable and stunning another added.
But the Summers stood frozen in place, unable to move.
There was no greater humiliation than being disgraced in front of an audience. And that was exactly what had just happened to the Summers.
The daughter they had once dismissed was now the one being praised by everyone. To their shock, she had become the heiress of Barlow Group. How could they not feel a deep sense of inequality?
And now, this same daughter was calling someone else “Mom.”
Stella’s fists clenched, and she glared at Davina with resentment.
How dare a mere commoner like her act like royalty? What right does someone the Summers rejected have to be at the center of so much admiration? Why is she in a beautiful gown, drawing all the attention?
It should have been me, the one who deserves all the praise and attention
But instead. I feel like a fool, discarded and mocked by everyone, while the spotlight passed me by
Even her parents and brothers stood there, watching her.
Stella couldn’t bear it. The pride she once held as the daughter of the Summers meant nothing compared to the Barlows daughter.
Fear crept over her. If my brothers and parents turn their attention to Davina, will they forget about me completely?
Davina’s eyes briefly flickered over Stella, a faint, almost mocking smile playing at the corners of her lips, as if challenging her.
Kennedy was the first to approach, a smile forming on his lips. “Ah, so this beautiful young woman is Barlow Group’s heiress. That certainly saves us the introduction.”
The last few words were aimed directly at Davina, a nod to their earlier conversation.
Perhaps it was Kennedy’s natural charm that made even what might have been an overly forward comment feel entirely appropriate coming from him.
Sacha smiled warmly at Kennedy. “Kennedy, you should make sure to look after Davina from now on.”
Kennedy grinned and glanced at Davina. “Of course.”
Sacha’s eyes softened as she looked at him, her smile growing.
At that moment, a new voice broke through the conversation, sharp and commanding.
“Aunt Sacha, why ask someone else to look after her? I’ll do it myself”
The moment Davina heard that voice, she instantly recognized it.
The crowd parted, clearing a path for Jude, who walked toward them with long, confident strides, accompanied by an elderly

Kennedy’s gaze shifted toward Jude, and behind his glasses, a flash of recognition passed through his eyes.
No one seemed particularly shocked by Jude’s arrival.
After all, the Wilsons did have distant ties to the Barlows.
Three years ago, Jude had come to Zlanta from Vlonio, taking charge of the Wilsons‘ operations there with a ruthless efficiency that had left a lasting impression. His reputation for being tough and unyielding had only grown over time.
For three years, his actions had matched the power and influence of the Wilsons in Vlonio, and everyone present was well aware of the control he wielded,
He was the type of person who could erase any trace of his presence from the internet with a mere snap
But what truly stunned everyone was the elderly man walking beside Jude.
As they made their way through the crowd, the room seemed to fall into an almost reverent silence.
No one dared to speak out of turn.
of his fingers.
For those with more years or deeper connections in the circle, the elderly man’s identity was unmistakable.
He was none other than Marlon, a figure whose status overshadowed that of any family in the room.
The older generation regarded him with renewed respect.
Even Sacha’s demeanor shifted, becoming more anxious and respectful as she quickly approached him to offer her support.
“Uncle Marlon, what brings you here?” Her voice was soft, humble, full of reverence.
Kennedy also gave a small nod toward Marlon, his respect clear in his actions.
