Chapter 67

Charlene glanced at Mr. Roland as he spoke with disdain about the Hawkins family, prompting her to ask, "Do you have some best the Hawkins family, Mr. Roland?"

Mr. Roland shook his head. "Beef? Nah, not really. See, the gal who was arguing with Ms. Hawkins last night, Star, is actually the daughter of a good buddy of mine. I've seen her grow up since she was a little squirt. Starr can be a bit wild but she's not the type to fy off the handle."

"Her fiancé, that Bush kid, got pretty cozy with another girl a few years back and almost called off his engagement to Start But then, out of the blue, that girl got to know Thorne and dropped the Bush boy like a hot potato."

Mr. Roland's story implied Vesta had once interfered in Starr's relationship with her fiancé, but after climbing the social ladder by getting involved with Thorne, she had backed off.

However, Mr. Roland was not dwelling on the past. But the fiasco from the night before had riled him up.

He sighed, "My friend and Starr were supposed to attend today's expo as well, but after last night's drama and Mr. Henderson's intervention went viral online, people have been bashing Starr left and right online, leaving her in tears, "Furthermore, after discovering Ms. Hawkins and Mr. Henderson's connection, many old foxes rushed to cozy up to the Hawkins family to avoid becoming targets themselves today. So, my friend and Starr decided to bail." Listening to this, Charlene and Stewart didn't know what to say.

When Charlene peeked at Vesta again, she saw even more folks clustering around her.
