Meanwhile, in a car parked along the roadside not far from the Maybach, Aveline spotted Gavin and was visibly surprised. "Why is my brother here?"

Selena glanced at her and replied, "The Quin family invited him, but I guess the invitation didn't reach you."

Aveline fell silent for a moment before saying, "That's not what I meant. My brother never attends these kinds of boring events. This is the first time I've seen him at something like this." "Really?" Selena raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

Aveline nodded. "Yes. He usually only goes to business receptions, charity galas, or summits-events that are serious and, frankly, dull."

Selena's eyes suddenly lit up as a thought struck her. "Do you think he's here for Jolie?"

Aveline rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "It's possible. It looks like after their last encounter, my brother's gotten hooked."

"Pfft!" Selena couldn't help but laugh, her mood lifting considerably.

Aveline chuckled and asked, "So, are we going in?"

Selena shook her head. "If he's here for Jolie, why bother? Let's head back. I miss Pax and Joy already. It's been a whole day since I've seen them." "Same here," Aveline agreed.
