However, just as everyone had raised their hands and was about to applaud, a noisy commotion came from outside.
Everyone turned their heads in unison to look towards the back.
Four women burst in from the entrance, and were stopped by the security in charge of the charity gala.
"Miss, you don't have an invitation and can't go in."
Among the four women, the one standing on the right was tall and heavyset and spoke with a fluent Northeastern accent, "Step aside, we must get in today and see if we can't tear that little bitch's face off."
As she spoke, the heavyset woman pushed the security guard aside and said to a woman in her thirties beside her, "Sis, I'll clear the way for you, go ahead in."
While she spoke, the heavyset woman also grabbed another nearby security guard to stop them from blocking the woman in her thirties.
