Kristina paused for a moment, then regained her composure and nodded, smiling. "That's really impressive."

Kristina gently squeezed Annabelle's hand, smiling. "Connor's in a relationship, huh? I wonder who the lucky girl is. I haven't heard anything about her."

Emily chuckled, her eyes shining with admiration. "She's not from our social circles, but she's truly a wonderful girl."

At that moment, a wealthy lady chimed in with a laugh, "Is it that celebrity girl?"
