Samuel Dalton was saying "Of course, sister is the best."

as he followed the gaze Mrs. Anna directed.

Then, he was suddenly stunned.

When Samuel glanced over, the stylist and makeup artist had just finished their work and stepped aside.

Therefore, the look of Selena Kensington was easily spotted by Samuel.

The combined efforts of the makeup artist and stylist resulted in a look that exuded a noble and elegant charm with a hint of seductive allure.

Her eyebrows were slightly raised, giving a touch of flamboyant brilliance.

Her eyes shimmered with a natural confidence and calmness.

Even though Samuel had seen Selena dressed up several times before, he couldn’t help but be amazed once again.

Mrs. Anna glanced at her son, who was already dumbstruck.

Ignoring him, she got up and walked over.

"That boy is completely smitten."

Mrs. Anna said with a smile, looking at the radiant Selena, her eyes showing a trace of amazement, "But our Selie was already beautiful, and with this style, she’s even more beautiful now..."

"I can’t wait to see the amazed expressions of those people..."

Selena smiled, accepting Mrs. Anna’s compliments.

"If you keep praising me like this, I’ll become embarrassed."

Mrs. Anna was truly a doting mother.

She had only known her for a few days, yet had already spoiled her so much.

Mrs. Anna waved her hand indifferently, "You can handle it."

At this moment, Samuel walked over.

He coughed softly a few times, clearing his somewhat parched throat.

"Sister, you look very beautiful today."

Hearing Samuel’s words of praise, Selena raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What’s with your words, boy? Wasn’t she beautiful before?!"

Before Selena could respond, Mrs. Anna couldn’t wait to speak up.

And once she spoke, she reprimanded her own son directly.

"..."

The surrounding makeup artists, stylists, and maids quickly lowered their heads as they looked at the scene.

They didn’t have the guts to watch such a scene.

"..."

Samuel was stunned for a second as he got scolded by his mother.

Then coming to his senses, he couldn’t help but ask himself if he had been picked up.

"All beautiful, just even more beautiful today."

Samuel didn’t know that a simple sentence could have so many implications and quickly changed his words.

"Pfft."

Looking at Samuel’s exasperated face, Selena couldn’t help but laugh.

"Godmother, don’t give him a hard time."

How would Samuel understand girls’ roundabout ways of thinking?

Seeing Selena spoke up, Mrs. Anna decided not to continue watching her son making a fool of himself.

"Alright, I’ll let him off."

"..."

Feeling that his status was rapidly declining, Samuel chose to remain silent.

At this time, a maid walked over and said, "Madam, it’s almost time."

Mrs. Anna was a bit surprised, "How did time pass so quickly..."

The time the maid mentioned was for the film festival participation.

As one of the organizers, Mrs. Anna naturally needed to be present.

"I’ll arrange for the car to be prepared."

Samuel said.

After saying that, he followed Alan out of the dressing room.

Mrs. Anna watched Samuel leave with satisfaction.

Then she took Selena’s arm, "Let’s go down."

Selena nodded, "Alright."

When they got to the entrance, a line of cars was waiting outside.

Standing next to the passenger side door of the car facing the entrance was Samuel.

While driving the car was Alan.

Selena and Mrs. Anna sat in the back seat, while Hope Norwood got into the car behind them.

"Let’s go."

Once everyone was seated, Samuel gave the order to drive.

A line of luxurious vehicles drove out of the estate, each uniquely bearing a briar rose emblem.

As long as a vehicle had this emblem on the Isle of Cyrin, no one dared to stop it or overtake it.

Just as they were about to arrive, Selena received a message from Sloane Hawthorne.

[Sloane]: Sister, I’m almost there, how about you?

After reading the message, Selena looked around.

They had already entered the city’s main area.

[Selie Stays Slim]: I’m almost there too.

As soon as Selena sent the message, she saw the large Corinthia Film Festival sign appear ahead.

"We’re here."

Samuel said.

The vehicles entered the parking lot.

Once inside, Selena saw Sloane Hawthorne and Silas Sinclair getting out of a car not far away.

"Godmother, I’m going to find my friends, see you inside."

Selena said to Mrs. Anna.

Mrs. Anna knew that this trip was not just Selena and Hope, so she nodded, "Go find your friends."

"Okay."

Then Selena got out of the car.

After she got off, Hope also followed.

"Madam."

She walked over.

"Hmm, let’s go find Sloane."

After speaking, Selena walked towards Sloane Hawthorne and Silas Sinclair.

Hope closely followed behind her.

In the car.

Mrs. Anna looked at Samuel with mock displeasure, "Stop looking, they’ve gone far."

Samuel pursed his lips slightly, saying nothing.

After a while, he carefully spoke up, "Mother..."

Before he could finish, Mrs. Anna interrupted him with a helpless look.

"Alright, of course, I’ll watch over her."

"Don’t worry, let’s go."

Then Mrs. Anna also got out of the car.

"..."

Once again feeling overlooked, Samuel was even more helpless.

*

Meanwhile, Selena met up with Sloane and the others.

"Sister, you look stunning."

Sloane said genuinely, a trace of amazement flashing in her eyes.

"You look beautiful too."

Selena replied with a smile.

Then she looked at Silas standing behind Sloane, "Are you going too?"

Though the Corinthia Film Festival required invitations to enter, obtaining one was fairly easy for Silas.

Hearing Selena’s words, Silas couldn’t help but darken his face.

And Sloane explained on his behalf, "He’s not going in, just here to drop me off."

After all, as the head of The Empire, openly appearing at the Corinthia Film Festival and showcasing affection with his girlfriend like that— 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

What kind of situation would that be?

Although Silas didn’t mind, Sloane refused him numerous times.

"Tsk, what a pity."

Selena mercilessly delivered another jab.

"..."

The most vicious is a woman’s heart.

Silas silently endured Selena’s sharp remark.

Afterwards, Selena went into the venue with Sloane.

Hope stayed behind with Silas.

When the emcee announced, "Miss Selena Kensington and Miss Sloane Hawthorne have arrived," part of the film festival’s crowd looked toward the entrance.

Selena and Sloane walked in together.

The names of these two were known by many.

After all, there were very few from The Empire who had truly become internationally recognized.

Selena, thanks to "Butterfly Flame," had shone on the international stage and made a name for herself.
