How shameless could Serena be!
She had already signed an agreement to cut all ties with the Wynn family, severing any relationship she had with them.
And yet, she still had the nerve to use the Wynn family's name to get into these exclusive clubs.
Wasn't she just trying to leverage that pretty face of hers to social climb?
The more Hailey thought about it, the more furious she became.
She stomped toward Serena in her high heels.
However, before she could even get close to the building near the garden, two security guards appeared out of nowhere and blocked her path. "I'm sorry, miss, please show your access card."
"What access card?" Hailey was livid at being stopped. "I'm a guest at Le Céleste! How dare you stop me?"
"Our apologies, miss, but this is the VIP area of Le Céleste. You need a VIP access card to enter," the guard said, doing his job.
VIP area?
Hailey had done her research on the way here.
Le Céleste was already a symbol of the elite in Vaelion City, but places like this were always strictly hierarchical.
The VIP area of Le Céleste was a place only the true upper-echelon families, the genuine crème de la crème, were qualified to enter.
Money alone wasn't always enough.
"Then how did she get in?" Hailey demanded, pointing at Serena.
If Serena could get in, why couldn't she, a person of far more noble birth, be allowed access?
The guard looked in the direction she was pointing.
Serena had just turned a corner and disappeared from sight.
The guard didn't see anyone but replied patiently, "Regardless of who it is, anyone who can enter the P area of Le Celeste must have an access card."
"No... that's impossible!" How could Serena, whose biological parents were slum- dwelling nobodies, possibly have a VIP access card?
There must be some mistake.
Hailey was about to say more, but the guard politely advised her not to disturb the guests in the VIP area.
Hailey had fought hard to get into a place where she could show off, and she certainly didn't want to be embarrassingly kicked out.
If she were actually thrown out by Le Céleste's security, how could she ever show her face in Vaelion City's high-society scene again?
She could only walk away, resentful.
As she left, she kept glancing back over her shoulder in the direction Serena had disappeared.
She was certain she hadn't seen the wrong person!
Hailey was no longer in the mood to take pictures. Dejected, she returned to the rest of the Wynn family.
"Hailey, what's wrong?" Marianne
pulled Hailey to sit beside her, looking at her scrunched-up face. "Dad, Mom, and your brother will handle the Lancaster family issue. Just pretend you're here for dinner and try not to look so miserable."
Hailey bit her lip. “Mom... I think... I think I just saw my sister." "Sister?" Marianne didn't immediately register who she meant. Hailey clarified, “It was Serena. I just saw her."
"Serena?" A scornful look crossed
Marianne's face. "You must have et
seen wrong Tow could she possibly be qualified to enter Le Celeste?
"No, I'm sure it was her," Hailey said with conviction.
"What? You're saying Serena is here?" For some reason, Logan felt a strange jolt of excitement upon hearing Serena's name.
