Virginia struggled to keep her balance as she rushed toward the two women, who were seconds away from a confrontation. "Ladies, please, let's just calm down and talk this through," she pleaded gently, trying to ease the tension between them. She approached carefully, her voice soft and persuasive. "You both look so stunning today. Isn't it a waste to let a heated argument ruin your beautiful appearance? It's not worth it ... " But the two women were far too enraged to listen. Their words were sharp and cutting, firing back and forth with no sign of stopping. Virginia's worry deepened. "Please, let's just have a conversation ... There are so many people watching us," she said, glancing nervously at the growing crowd. Her efforts to intervene were fruitless. The more she tried to calm them, the louder their voices became, drawing even more attention as the tension in the air thickened. Virginia felt trapped in the middle. She had only wanted to watch the event and maybe enjoy some conversation, not get caught in such a heated scene. The argument was so loud, it felt as if they wanted everyone to hear. Is this how all wealthy young women behave? Virginia felt increasingly helpless as she stood by. "This is bad for everyone here ... " Her quiet words were drowned out by the rising clash. Just then, Georgina appeared, her presence commanding the space. Without hesitation, she took Virginia by the arm and guided her aside. "Stay back. I'll take care of this," Georgina said. Virginia looked up at her, concern still in her eyes. "Ms. Hamilton, are you sure? They're ... really angry. Please be careful." Georgina met her gaze, calm and reassuring. With no other option, Virginia reluctantly stepped back, watching in awe as Georgina walked toward the bickering women. Georgina didn't raise her voice. She simply stood between them, her expression cool and authoritative. "Enough," she said.Those three words immediately silenced the room. Virginia blinked, astonished. Just like that, the atmosphere shifted from tense to calm. What just happened? She thought, amazed. She had tried everything to intervene, but Georgina's quiet command had done what all her efforts couldn't. "Uhh ... " Georgina seemed satisfied with the sudden quiet. She placed a hand on Alicia's shoulder as a silent warning. "That's better. Keeping the peace is good for everyone," she said, her voice even. Alicia bit her lip, her outward calm hiding the anger simmering inside. What is Georgina doing here? Is she supporting that woman? Her suspicions were confirmed when Georgina turned back to Virginia, gently taking her hand. "Let's go," she said, her tone decisive. Virginia, still trying to process what had just happened, nodded. She instinctively followed Georgina's lead. "Okay." As they walked away, Alicia watched them, a knot of unease tightening in her chest. Georgina is this close to her? Georgina Hamilton—the only daughter of the Hamilton family, one of the most influential and untouchable families in Kreshill. Known for her sharp attitude and her disdain for those outside her elite circle, Georgina had never shown interest in mingling with anyone beneath her status. Yet here she was, openly protecting this woman. There could only be one explanation. Virginia must be connected to the Daves family. In all of Kershill, only the Daves is worthly to stand alongside with the Hamiltons. Alicia's face drained of color as the thought hit her. If that were true, she had just made an enemy of both the Hamiltons and the Daves—two of the most powerful families in Kreshill. The Hamiltons and the Daves were not just wealthy families—they were Kreshill's very foundation. To offend them was to court disaster. Alicia's face turned pale, and she immediately regretted her actions.Georgina gently tugged Virginia forward, but she remained visibly restless. As they moved ahead, Virginia couldn't help but frequently look behind her. Noticing her unease, Georgina turned his head to see what was causing it. Erin and Alicia were now standing a considerable distance apart, and it was obvious the argument had come to an end. Georgina noticed and paused, then let go of Virginia's hand, turning back toward the two women. "Ms. Hamilton, where are you going?" Virginia asked, confused. Georgina walked back toward Alicia and Erin, her voice cold but composed. "This event requires a certain level of respect. If I see either of you cause any more trouble, I'll make sure my father has you removed—not just from this event, but from any future gatherings as well." Her words were sharp and final, leaving no room for argument. Alicia and Erin bowed their heads in silence, knowing that Georgina wasn't bluffing. Her reputation for swiftly removing disruptive guests from Hamilton events was well-known. Georgina stood there for a brief moment, observing the two women in complete silence. With a disapproving snort, she spun around and walked off without a second glance. Virginia rushed to catch up, her voice full of wonder. "Ms. Hamilton ... how do you do it? You're incredible!" She blinked her eyes in admiration, her gaze filled with awe. When Georgina had gotten out of the car to help her, Virginia had noticed the woman immediately and felt there was something special about her. Yet, she never could have guessed the true depth of Georgina's remarkable background ... Seeing her take control of the situation so effortlessly left her speechless. With just a few words, she had silenced two women who seemed impossible to calm. Her level of influence was truly impressive. Virginia could hardly believe her eyes, as though she had just spotted the last lifeline in a sea of despair. "It's nothing," Georgina replied indifferently. "It's my father who's impressive. Without him, I'm nothing." Virginia shook her head, still in disbelief. "Ms. Hamilton, please don't say that ... " Being born into such privilege was a rare and extraordinary gift—Virginia knew that much.Virginia had always believed that good luck was a form of strength in itself. "How did you end up getting caught up in this argument?" Georgina asked, her expression showing a hint of confusion. Considering Virginia's gentle and timid personality, Georgina found it hard to imagine her being the one to cause any trouble. "And why were you with Alicia and the others?" she continued. Georgina was very familiar with the women in the capital. They were known for their arrogance and tendency to look down on others. Virginia, with her shy and reserved nature, didn't seem like someone who would fit into that kind of group. It was difficult to believe they would have willingly invited her into their circle. Virginia hesitated, unsure how to explain. "Well, I ... " Before she could finish, they nearly collided with Addison, who was holding a champagne glass. Addison wore a simple yet stunning black gown, and the lighting made her presence even more striking. Virginia instinctively frowned, her thoughts forgotten as her gaze locked onto Addison. "What's wrong?" Georgina asked, following her stare. She, too, noticed Addison.
