âMaggie, have you made your selection?â Rosalynn inquired.
âNot yet.
Iâll take another look,â Maggie replied.
The group continued their conversation, blatantly ignoring Scarlet as if the lead role was already secured for Valeria.
Scarlet felt utterly humiliated by being ignored.
Even with the Fernandez familyâs support, it paled in comparison to Rosalynnâs combined families influence.
Observing Maggie, who had remained mostly silent, Scarletâs gaze hardened.
She hadnât anticipated Maggie befriending someone from such a wealthy background as Rosalynn.
Scarlet believed she could have easily outshone Maggie, but Rosalynnâs presence had caused her to lose face in front of Janiya.

She asked directly, âAre you targeting me because of Maggie, Rosalynn?â
Scarlet held back her anger as she looked at Maggie and said, âYouâre so fortunate to have Rosalynn as a friend, especially since she comes from a wealthy family.
â
Maggie stared at Rosalynn with admiration.
She too felt fortunate to have a friend like Rosalynn.
âWell, Rosalynnâs status is that she always needs someone to carry her bags when she goes out.
And you, Maggie, you are so good at following orders.
You are perfect for carrying her bags.
â
Scarlet mocked Maggie on purpose, trying to caused trouble between their friendship.
Rosalynn, busy selecting jewelry, turned to give Scarlet a cold stare.
Before she could speak, Karina said, âMiss Fernandez, it seems you lack genuine friends, donât you? Youâre still young yet so materialistic.
I wonder, are your friends just as superficial? What if one day youâre no longer wealthy, will these friends of yours order you to carry their bags?â
Scarlet was left speechless, glaring at Karina.
Karina was really a sharp-tongued agent.
âScarlet, stop this useless argument.
You come from a prestigious family.
Itâs beneath you to fight with them.
â
Seeing Scarlet mocked by Maggieâs friends, Janiya couldnât resist and sneered.
âAlright, Janiya.
â
With a smile, Scarletâs anger subsided.
She linked arms with Janiya and they walked away.
Karina left speechless and watched them go.
âRosalynn, itâs shocking how snobbish Sanfordâs mother is.
She looks down on me because I come from a simple background, but to underestimate you and Tilda as well? Doesnât she realize your true worth?â
