Keira handed the invitation to the staff member. “Can I go in now?”

He followed Keira into the banquet hall. “Where did you get the invitation?”

Just as Keira was about to speak, Jalen cut her off. “It must have been arranged by her cousin, right? It doesn’t specify any company, so you aren’t beholden
