Once Brandon arrived, Korbyn, not wanting to be outdone, arrived with his wife and daughter.
Naturally, his underachieving son accompanied them.
In the loungeâ¦
As Rena was ready to entertain the guests, a waiter knocked on door and entered the lounge.
âMiss Gordon, a Mr.
Coleman sent you a gift.
He mentioned that he awaits your presence outside.
â
The waiter presented Rena with an exquisitely crafted box.
With a sense of curiosity, Rena opened il, revealing the pink diamond necklace she had previously pawned.
The necklace held great sentimental value for Rena, as it had been her late motherâs cherished possession.
Regardless of Renaâs resentment towards Lyndon, she couldnât refuse to accept itâ¦
However, she was well aware of Lyndonâs intentions.
He sought to exploit her motherâs memory as a means to beg for forgiveness.
Rena encountered Lyndon in the lounge.
He arrived unaccompanied.
When his eyes beheld Rena in her elegant white dress, it was as if he saw a reflection of Reina from years past.
Lyndonâs voice quivered slightly.
âRena, please forgive me.
â
Rena remained composed.
With utmost politeness, she responded, âI have been searching for this necklace for quite some time.
Mr.
Coleman, I appreciate its return.
As a token of my gratitude⦠Please accept this.

Rena tenderly presented a check.
Its value stood at two million dollars, triple the market estimation of the necklace.
Lyndonâs face turned pallid.
That wasnât what he desired.
What he longed for was the presence of his own flesh and bloodâ¦
A faint smile curved on Renaâs lips.
âMr.
Coleman, you are exceedingly greedy.
How can all the worldâs blessings be monopolized by your family? You and⦠your family have caused me immense pain, yet you expect me to just forgive you all with open arms.
I am not a doormat.
â
Lyndonâs eyes narrowed and he uttered, âRena, whether you believe it or not, I loved your mother above all else.
â
Rena cast her gaze downwards.
She had no desire to listen to or place trust in those words.
In the end, Lyndon departed hastily, without even glancing at the check she held outâ¦
After Lyndon departed, Rena found herself in solitude for an extended period.
As she finally made her entrance at the party, all preparations had been completed.
Approaching her, Zack inquired, âHas that old man approached you once again?
