Chapter 803 A Symbol of Status
Alice took it and said, "Oh, it's really beautiful. Thanks a lot."
One socialite did this, and even though the others were a bit hesitant, they also handed over their gifts.
Alice scored big this time, adding several socialites on Facebook. But dealing with them all drained her out. Sensing this, Renee quickly stepped in and said, "Sorry, ladies, Alice is pregnant. Claire said she needs proper rest."
Alice rubbed her temples, looking worn out.
The socialites exchanged glances, and one of them quickly smiled and said, "Then let Alice go rest. We can chat on Facebook. In a few days, we have a gathering at Blue Moon Lake Estate. It's an upper-class event. If you have time, you should come."
Alice was eager to attend and expand her social circle.
"Sure. Who's hosting it?" Alice asked.
"It's Rebecca Henderson, the eldest daughter of the Henderson family."
Rebecca wasn't just the eldest daughter of the Henderson family; she was also the founder of a luxury brand. She studied abroad in Verona at 16 and started her first brand, WM, at 18. By 30, she was worth $30 billion, making her quite the big deal.
Rebecca threw a lavish socialite banquet every two years, always picking a famous spot in Vachilit. The last one from two years ago was at 702 Thames Ferry, and the rent for one night was $10 million. Attendance to that event was a status symbol.
Rebecca sent out invitations a week in advance.
Four years ago, a young lady from the Clark family didn't get an invite and was mocked by the socialites for half a year.
Sorely tempted to attend such a big event, Alice looked at the well-dressed socialites in front of her and asked, "Have you all been there?"
Among the seven socialites around her, several shook their heads.
"I see," Alice said, a hint of frustration in her eyes.
Alice went back to the lounge, where Renee was unwrapping the gifts Alice had received.
Alice got quite a few gifts this time, not just from the socialites but also some from elders.
While Alice wasn't looking, Renee slipped a pair of earrings into her pocket. Just then, Alice's voice came from behind, "What should I do? What if I don't get an invite from Rebecca this time? That would be so embarrassing."
Alice had to get an invite to that!
Renee was startled, feeling a chill down her spine. Hearing Alice's complaint, she let out a sigh of relief, turned around, and smiled. "No way, Alice. You'll definitely get it! With your current status, how many socialites in Vachilit can compare to you?"
Alice loved hearing flattery, and Renee's words hit the spot, but her worries weren't gone. "Where's Rachel?"
"Rachel went to find Nicholas," Renee replied.
Alice stood up. "You don't need to follow me. Help me organize these gifts and put them in the closet. I'm going out to take a look."
Renee was more than happy to do so.
After Alice left, Renee opened the gift boxes one by one. There weren't many big items, mostly accessories, bracelets, rings, and brooches.
