Mrs. Parker stood at the center of the crowd, and as soon as she spoke, the surrounding society ladies halted their conversations, revealing expressions of curiosity, their gazes uniformly fixed on Emily and her husband.
Emily was holding Carlos's hand, standing not far away.
Father Parker stood to the side, his expression stern. When he saw the couple, his face slightly darkened, revealing a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
After the previous incident at the Sterling Research Institute, the father-daughter relationship had completely fractured, making this encounter even more awkward.
Emily did not want to have another confrontation in such a public setting, nor did she want others to see the discord between her and the Parker Family, so she clung tightly to Carlos's hand and moved inside.
However, Mrs. Parker seemed unwilling to let them off.
