Jane let out a dismissive scoff. "So, Miss Fairchild, you're looking to use me to get an introduction to Mr. Maddox? Isn't your sister already heavily involved with him? Why don't you just go ask her?"
"Miss Whelan, you might not know this, but my half-sister and I actually have different mothers. She has a huge grudge against our entire family. Ever since she started seeing Mr. Maddox, my dad has been playing favorites and spoiling her. I reached out to you today because I wanted to get a feel for the actual situation. Does Mr. Maddox... does he actually have feelings for my sister?"
With that said, Gloria slid an elegantly wrapped box across the table toward Jane.
"Miss Whelan, this necklace was designed by Aurora at LUMEN Studio. Even though it's from last year's collection, it's incredibly hard to find. I hope you'll accept it."
Jane glanced at the box, unable to stop herself from marveling internally. Even though the Fairchild family couldn't measure up to the Whelan family, it was still surprising that Gloria could casually afford a LUMEN Studio necklace.
Her own standard of living within the Whelan family was honestly worse than Gloria's!
The only problem was that there were just too many people in the Whelan family. No matter how big the financial pie was, the slice that ultimately made it to her plate was incredibly small.
Jane smiled warmly. "Miss Fairchild, you're far too generous. Just ask whatever you'd like to know. I'll tell you anything I can. From now on, we're friends!"
"Bianca and Mr. Maddox definitely have a lot going on between them. As for him actually liking her... I honestly don't think that's the case. You know how it is. Mr. Maddox had been single for a long time, and other than his bodyguard, he never had any other women around him. But then Bianca suddenly shows up and breaks all his rules. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"
Gloria leaned in excitedly. "Then what is the actual reason Mr. Maddox is spending time with Bianca?"
Getting her hands on this piece of information was absolutely crucial if she wanted to take Bianca down.
Jane glanced around the cafe before dropping her voice to a whisper. "Miss Fairchild, I'm only telling you this because I consider you a friend. You absolutely cannot tell anyone that you heard this from me."
"Don't worry, Miss Whelan. My lips are sealed. I promise I won't drag you into this!"
"The truth is, Mr. Maddox... he's into men."
Gloria was absolutely flabbergasted.
"If he likes men, then why is he hanging around Bianca?" she asked, thoroughly confused.
She never in a million years would have guessed that Sean was gay!
