All eyes followed the line of Gideon’s father's gaze, where a woman in a custom-made blue evening gown was slowly descending from the second floor.
Enhanced by the lighting and makeup, the woman’s features were exquisite and her aura was outstanding, drawing a wave of admiration from the crowd.
“Who is this woman? Why would the Harvest family suddenly adopt her?”
“I heard it was the matriarch’s idea.”
“To be chosen by the Harvest family, she must have an extraordinary background.”
...
Amidst the murmurs, Ann gracefully walked up to the Harvest family, holding the hem of her dress.
However, a number of people recognized her as Selene’s niece.
“Isn’t that woman Selene’s niece?”
“That’s her! I still had unused credit at her aunt’s beauty salon when it closed down. I was wondering where she went, and here she is!”
“I heard her aunt was Mrs. Quinn's best friend, but she stole Mrs. Quinn’s husband, got pregnant, and went into hiding.”
“Her aunt stole her best friend’s husband. The niece can’t be any good either.”
“I heard this woman was arrested twice by Mr. Ferguson. It was her aunt who slept with Mr. Quinn to get him to bail her out.”
...
The voices of several socialites grew louder, and Ann twisted her hands together in humiliation.
Fortunately, she had ‘explained’ everything to Gideon and his parents beforehand. Otherwise, these vicious women would have truly ruined everything.
