After a thoughtful selection process, she chose a long, elegant blue gown that radiated sophistication.

“Madisyn, are there any friends you’d like to invite to the banquet?”

Glenn asked.

Madisyn pondered briefly.

“I only have two friends I’d like to invite.

“Alright, here are their invitations,” Glenn said as he handed two invitations over.

“I’ve kept the guest list limited to some families that are close to us.

It’ll be intimate, so you can relax.

Glenn’s thoughtful arrangement was to ensure Madisyn wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.

“Okay,” Madisyn said.

She appreciated the gesture, but she was actually indifferent to the scale of the event.

When Kristine returned home, her eyes widened at the array of dresses spread out.

Glenn’s choice of the season’s latest designs showcased his generosity.

Yet, even these paled in comparison to the limited edition dress Kristine had secured for herself—a true gem among gowns.

“Your biological parents must be loaded,” Susan said in surprise, seeing the invitation.

Madisyn dialed Giana Hicks’s number, but received no response.

“She might be tied up with something.

True to Susan’s prediction, Giana returned the call not long after.

“I’ve been swamped at work.

Can I help you with something?” she inquired, her voice carrying a hint of distance.

Madisyn felt a subtle shift in Giana’s tone but still said, “I’ve been reunited with my biological parents, and they’re throwing a welcome banquet for me.

Would you like to come?”

“When is it?” Giana asked.

“Tomorrow evening.
