Chapter 267



The parking lot of the Hunts’ mansion was full of luxury cars.

There were also many international limited edition cars. The jeep was simply too inconspicuous among them.

That’s why at first no one paid attention to whose car it was.

Yvonne was walking towards the lobby. She had only taken a couple of steps when suddenly she heard someone call out to her, “Miss Smith!”.

She looked back and saw Rachel walking with Miranda.

Rachel said something to Miranda. Then, she turned away from her and walked over. As soon as she got close, she touched her dress and commented with a smile, “So it was you who borrowed this dress! It looks great on you. You’re definitely going to outshine everyone at the party tonight.”

Her voice was quite loud, which made everyone around her look.

Yvonne was a little upset.

The Smiths were sticklers for discreet luxury and what they liked least was such ostentatious behavior in public. She preferred private discussions, so Rachel had gone a bit far in telling her that in person.

“I picked it out casually,” she told him. “Your dress is also very pretty, Miss Wood.”

Rachel, who knew what she was like, made light of the comment. She said, “You don’t have to be so modest! No one here is blind. Besides, this dress is very well known in the circle. With the exception of the Blue Enchantress, there’s probably no other dress that can compare to this one!”.

Yvonne looked down. She smiled and said, “Let’s go in.”

“No!”

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․com, the place for amazing tales Rachel grabbed her arm with a smile and said, “I just saw the Andersons’ car. If you wait here for a while, they’re sure to come. When the two of them are together, anyone who isn’t blind will be able to see who is the prettiest. You might as well let Mr. Hunt see for himself that he’s picked the wrong person.”

Yvonne felt a little taken aback by his words. “Isn’t Nora Smith beautiful?”

Rachel hesitated.

Appearing in her mind were Nora’s fair, flawless countenance, her large, beautiful almond-shaped eyes, as well as her small, palm-sized face that looked even more beautiful than that of a celebrity.

She coughed and replied guiltily, “She’s passable, I guess, but the way she carries herself is a little inferior. She’s usually in jeans and t-shirts, she looks very sloppy. It’s the same with the way she walks, because she doesn’t lift her feet when she walks. My mother has always taught me not to shuffle my feet when I walk. The way she wears her shoes, it’s like she’s wearing slippers. It’s very ugly.”

The more Rachel said, the more convinced she became of herself. She said, “Have you ever seen country people who come to cities to study? She behaves exactly like those country bumpkins! She doesn’t have an elegant disposition or a strong aura around her. So what if she’s a little beautiful, is there anyone in families like ours who only cares about how pretty her face is?”

A few people nearby approached them as she spoke. Hearing what she was saying, they asked in surprise, “Who are you talking about?”

Rachel smiled and replied, “Nora Smith’s! You know, the Anderson’s….”. By the way, the live broadcast about her caused quite a stir the other time. Did you see it? To think they were talking about their domestic affairs in public…. Looks like they don’t mind embarrassing themselves at all!”

“Oh, are you talking about the same Nora Smith whose father turned out to be a fake after making all that fuss?”

“Yes. Speaking of which, my family doesn’t get it either. For people like them, just get rid of them by giving them some money and the matter will be solved. Why make such a fuss in public together with them? Although they eventually cleared it all up in public, wasn’t it equally embarrassing for the Andersons? Although their adoptive father is really a troublesome and overly greedy man, it’s true that their mother had also become pregnant before they got married…”

“Did you know? I heard that his mother was a famous New York socialite at the time…. The wives of the wealthy hated her the most. She was especially beautiful and also very skilled at seducing men, so she was involved with almost all the young men from the wealthy families of the time. She was the public enemy of all the wealthy ladies in New York at that time.”

“…”

Rachel was very pleased to see how everyone’s comments were getting more and more ridiculous. She said, “Yes, that’s the one!”.

“Is she attending the party too? Is she taking advantage of the invitation to the Andersons to attend? The Andersons are already in a bad position! Yet she keeps coming…. She sure thinks highly of herself!”

“Hey let’s ignore her later, shall we?”

“I don’t want to talk to someone like that!”

“…”

The few well-to-do young ladies who got along spared no effort to bad-mouth and gossip about other people once they met.

Yvonne’s lips slowly curved into a smile as she listened to them.

The group of girls chatted noisily as they stood in the doorway. After talking about Nora, they changed the subject back to Yvonne’s dress and paid her many compliments.

“So what if her mother had had a very glorious existence back then? In the end, she ended up marrying someone in a small town – how could she compare to the Hunts or the Smiths…? Just look at how gorgeous and expensive Miss Smith’s dress is when she’s just attending a party…. No matter how stunning her mother was, can you find her a better dress?”

“Exactly. No matter how stunning her mother was, it’s not like she passed it on to her, right? If not, why didn’t she find a groom like Mr. Hunt?”

“Miss Smith and Mr. Hunt are a match made in heaven! When are they going to get engaged Miss Smith?”

Everyone in the wealthy circle had already heard the rumors that the Smiths and the Hunts were planning a political marriage. They had originally thought that the two would become engaged when they were eighteen, but, unexpectedly, nothing had yet materialized after all this time.

Although Justin had an illegitimate child, he did not marry in all these years, nor was there any news of the child’s biological mother. Yvonne didn’t get married either, so everyone thought that both parties were still waiting for a suitable opportunity.

However, Yvonne looked down at the question and said nothing.

Irritability welled up in her.

They were too gossipy and were practically rubbing it in.

Rachel, who noticed Yvonne’s annoyance, interrupted them with a smile. She said, “The affairs of the Hunts and the Smiths are not something you should be asking about. It is, after all, a union between two great families…. Let’s not ask any more questions! I just saw the Andersons’ car pull up. My cousin and Nora Smith will be here in a little while, I’ll point her out to you later!”

“Yes, all right!”

“I, too, want to see how beautiful the daughter of the ‘public enemy of all the rich wives in New York’ can be!”

“Even now my mother still grinds her teeth in fury every time she talks about Yvette Anderson. She says that my father was in love with Yvette Anderson back then, and that Yvette Anderson was his pipe dream…”

As they chatted noisily, Rachel looked off into the distance and said, “They’re coming!”

They all followed her gaze and peered out.

The woman walking in front wore a pink dress. Her shoulder-length hair gave her a very youthful and cheerful look. She was walking arm in arm with a middle-aged woman wearing a dress full of classic charm.

Sheril was obsessed with the lab, so she rarely attended parties.

Young women who didn’t usually dance didn’t attend the dance party the other time, so someone had mistaken her for Nora. He looked at Sheril and said, “Is that her in the pink dress? Although she looks quite beautiful, she doesn’t look that amazing. Besides, her dress is so meh~”

But as soon as she said that, Sheril suddenly turned around, revealing the woman behind her….
