The gala was unlike any other. Firstly, it was way smaller than any social party that Scarlet and Alex had attended. The number of familiar faces shocked Scarlet more than anything else. No, it wasn't because they were A-list celebrities well-known in the entertainment industries. It was more because they were people whom the singer had seen frequently hanging out with their mother. In other words, most of the guests were family friends.
The only thing keeping Scarlet from totally calling out a candid camera was the fact that there were a few big names from the media attending the event for photos and a story. The nature of the event wasn't made known even when Scarlet and Alex arrived. They had to greet so many people that Scarlet momentarily forgot her own name. It was confusing introducing herself as Liu Xiu Wen when many of the guests already know her as Scarlet.
