Although Sloane Hawthorne was still somewhat inexperienced among these international stars and celebrities, her outstanding appearance still attracted quite a few people.

As soon as they walked in, some unfamiliar faces approached.

The group introduced themselves to each other.

Both Selena Kensington and Sloane Hawthorne had just stepped into The International Entertainment Industry and naturally would not refuse the goodwill of these people.

For a moment, they chatted away.

After a while, a woman dressed seductively came over.

"You must be the recently acclaimed Director Kensington and Miss Hawthorne from The Empire."

Although her words were polite, there was a trace of disdain in her eyes.

Selena Kensington’s expression remained unchanged.

"And you are?"

The seductive woman chuckled, brushing back the hair beside her ear, "I’m Christina Bourne."

"Just a name not worth mentioning."

Upon hearing this name, the people who had been laughing and chatting with Selena Kensington and Sloane Hawthorne instinctively took a few steps back.

Christina Bourne.

The third lady of the Bourne Family from beyond The Southern Domain.

The Bourne Family is considered an illustrious old family from beyond The Southern Domain.

Furthermore, this third lady is spoiled beyond limits by the Bourne Family.

When the Bourne Family learned she wanted to venture into the entertainment industry, they had already arranged everything for her behind the scenes.

With the influence and wealth of the Bourne Family, Christina received high-end resources immediately upon her debut and swiftly rose to fame.

Currently at only twenty-two years old, Christina is already an internationally renowned supermodel.

She is also the darling of many fashion design brands.

This is why upon hearing Christina’s name, people instinctively stepped back.

After all, Christina’s demeanor was clearly confrontational.

And they knew, there was no way they could stand against the Bourne Family.

So in order to avoid collateral damage, these people chose to maintain a certain distance from Selena Kensington and Sloane Hawthorne.

Selena Kensington nodded nonchalantly.

"Indeed, not worth mentioning."

"So, do you have any business with us?"

Selena Kensington was not foolish; she saw the jealousy and hostility in Christina’s eyes at first glance.

Since Christina intended to make things difficult for them, she felt no need to show her face.

After all, she was not a meek little rabbit anyone could manipulate in Christina’s eyes.

"You!"

Christina’s eyes narrowed slightly, evidently angered.

However...

She glanced at the dress Selena Kensington was wearing and a look of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

Christina was very familiar with the dress Selena Kensington was wearing.

Because she had seen the design sketches.

This is the renowned design by master designer Carola.

Named ’Fantasy.’

When Christina saw the sketches of ’Fantasy,’ she was absolutely mesmerized.

But she also understood Carola’s status and temperament.

It wasn’t something she could obtain just by leveraging family power.

So Christina sent someone to ask Carola, subtly expressing her fondness for the design.

But Carola’s response was: only one piece exists, and it had been given to Mrs. Anna.

At that time, despite her anger and disappointment, Christina refrained from making a fuss after considering Mrs. Anna’s status.

After all, Mrs. Anna is renowned beyond The Southern Domain.

Moreover, she belonged to the Colombo Family, whom even the Bourne Family would defer to.

Christina certainly had no skill to demand it.

However...

Just when Selena Kensington walked in, Christina immediately noticed the dress Selena was wearing.

Identical to ’Fantasy!’

But Selena Kensington couldn’t possibly own that dress, so Christina dismissed it as an imitation, a fake.

Christina was somewhat smug.

After all, Mrs. Anna was scheduled to attend as one of the organizers. If she saw Selena Kensington wearing an imitation, what might her reaction be?

Perhaps she would immediately have Selena expelled...

The reason Christina was so antagonistic towards Selena Kensington.

Besides Selena stealing her thunder upon arrival, there was also jealousy that stemmed from seeing the dress she couldn’t have on another woman.

This was why Christina had come looking for trouble.

Imagining the awkward scene that might unfold for Selena Kensington in front of so many people, and her potential expulsion.

Christina couldn’t help but feel a surge of triumph.

"Miss Kensington, the dress you’re wearing, is it Carola’s new creation, ’Fantasy’?"

Christina slightly tempered her inner glee, not caring about the looks from others, she casually conversed with Selena Kensington.

At first, Selena Kensington was somewhat puzzled by Christina’s question.

But when she saw Christina’s unabashed smugness, she understood. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Is Christina trying to use the dress to embarrass her?

Well, that would certainly be a letdown for Christina...

Because from the moment she put on the dress, Selena Kensington had already learned its origins.

"Yes."

Selena Kensington nodded calmly.

Christina laughed lightly seeing Selena still so composed.

"Miss Kensington must not know that Carola only produced one of this design."

Christina said leisurely.

And she deliberately spoke louder, drawing the attention of quite a few people nearby.

Although none of them openly looked over, they all kept an attentive eye on the evolving situation.

Selena Kensington shrugged indifferently, "Isn’t that the one I’m wearing?"

Seeing Selena still unapologetic, Christina smirked coldly.

Originally intending to let her off to leave by herself, but since she wanted it this way, Christina decided to oblige her!

Christina’s voice rose slightly, "Oh?"

"Last I recall, Carola gifted this design to Mrs. Anna."

"Miss Kensington, are you perhaps implying you’re Mrs. Anna? Or...what relation do you have with Mrs. Anna?!"

Christina said bluntly.

She had never considered linking Selena Kensington with Mrs. Anna.

After all, Mrs. Anna is a venomous femme fatale.

At least in Christina’s understanding, Mrs. Anna rarely had close female friendships.

Moreover, Selena Kensington was much younger than her.

As these words left Christina’s lips, people nearby no longer concealed their actions and directly looked over.

After all, Christina had just mentioned Mrs. Anna in her words.

On the Isle of Cyrin, or even beyond, Mrs. Anna is a prominent figure.

Her heritage, her methods, her style made her very famous.

Not to mention she is one of the organizers of the Corinthia Film Festival.

Those people glanced at the calm Selena Kensington, then at the boastful Christina opposite her.
