Rosa shouted to the nearby security guard, "She sneaked in here! Capture her!"
Skylar paused in her tracks. Upon hearing Rosa's words, she turned to look at her. Then, she stood her ground, waiting for the security guard to approach her.
Rosa quirked a brow as she observed Skylar's unflinching composure. Was she really banking on Joe coming to her rescue? Rosa couldn't fathom why Skylar looked so confident.
Just then, Joe's voice rang out from above, deep and stern. "Since when did you become so despicable?"
Rosa's face paled. "I-I'm just speaking the truth, Ned. Skylar must have sneaked in here. I saw her, and I couldn't pretend I didn't."
Joe approached swiftly, his long strides eating up the distance between them. By the time the security guard reached Skylar, Joe was already at her side. "She was invited."
Skylar glanced up at Joe, her eyes shining with a mixture of surprise and relief. He was standing up for her. Rosa, meanwhile, arrived breathlessly, her heels clicking in desperation, only to hear Joe's words. Humiliation washed over her.
The crowd began to murmur. Rosa had just loudly accused Skylar, yet Joe contradicted her so openly. Rosa's face flushed with mortification as curious onlookers gathered, intrigued by the spectacle. This was, after all, a prestigious event—Nicole's birthday celebration.
If someone had sneaked in uninvited, it could lead to significant trouble. One of the security guards turned to Skylar and said, "Please show us your invitation."
