"Thanks for the complint, Aunt Shirley, it’s okay. I’m just thrilled you could make it today."
"Your welco gift is already with your folks, check it out after the party," Shirley said warmly,beckoning her family over to greet Rosemary.
Rosemary exchanged pleasantries with each of them, chatting for a bit, when Louisa exclaid,
"Frederica, you made it? Rose, let introduce you. This is Alma’s sister and your cousin, Frederica."
Frederica was different from Alma. She had a serene beauty about her, her emotions never on display.
Facing Rosemary, she offered a faint smile, "Hi, Rose."
"Frederica has been abroad and just got back today." Louisa added.
"Hello."
"Ma’am, it’s ti for the raffle," soone at the party reminded. "Shall we have Ms. Rose co up and start the draw? Let’s pick 99 lucky guests to sponsor children with illnesses in the na of our attendees."
Louisa nearly forgot about this part of the evening and nodded eagerly, "Oh, yes, it’s ti. Rose, get ready. You’ll be picking our lucky guests tonight."
"Sure thing."
Frederica glanced at Rosemary a few tis before turning away, her thoughts a mystery.

[Just earlier, I bumped into Roo and Clark shopping with a young girl. This girl got Clark to happily open his wallet and buy six shopping carts full of stuff for her! Six carts, ladies. From what I saw, there
were strawberry hair clips and scented lamps worth dozens of dollars each, starry straws, and more.
Roo picked out quite a few things too.]
[At the ti, I had no idea who she was to them, but boy, was I envious. To have two handso guys at her side, willing to spoil her like that.]
[Now, you must’ve guessed who she is, right?]
[And if you’re not yet full from that tidbit, this next piece of gossip will surely do the trick!]
[Did you notice, at David’s inaugural concert of his world tour, there was a proposal segnt? A couple went up—take a good look at who they were!]
The livestrear played the video, circling the couple in question.
In the video, Roo took Rosemary’s hand on stage. Even though they stood towards the back, their height and presence drew attention.
Later, so netizens used AI to reveal the face beneath Rosemary’s mask.
While the result wasn’t as stunning as the real deal, it was a close match.

That gossip was a real feast for the fans.

We’ll start today, with a dedicated team on it, and we’ll keep everyone posted to avoid any skepticism."
The mont Rosemary’s voice trailed off, the room erupted into thunderous applause.

The applause surged like a relentless tide.
"Family portrait! Family portrait! Family portrait!" It started with one voice in the crowd and soon, the chant for the Collins family photo grew louder.

She watched Rosemary being given the place of honor, with everyone’s eyes seemingly fixed on her, showering her with adoration.
A reporter tiptoed, microphone in hand, and asked, "Mr. and Mrs. Collins, do you plan to divide the Collins family estate among your children, including Rosemary?"
Other journalists, sensing a juicy story, pressed forward to interview Rosemary’s brothers, asking similar questions about whether they would bring Rosemary into the business and share their resources with her.
Kenneth replied, "If Rose’s interested, whatever she wants, we’ll provide."
Louisa added, "Everything in this family belongs to Rose as well. We don’t differentiate just because she’s our daughter."
Hunter chid in, "Rose’s already taken the helm of our fashion business. Those who’ve followed it know she’s revived the whole company. She’s a rare business prodigy in my eyes. If she’s up for it,
she’s welco to get involved in any part of our enterprise. If she wanted the whole group, I’d hand it over with a bow."
Chasel said, "My line of work is hectic. I’d rather she does what she loves. Of course, I’d share my resources with her."
Sean declared, "What’s mine is hers. Whatever she wants, I’ll give."
