A forced smile shed across Melina’s face.


    So this was the woman Bryson had been ‘busy’ with!


    “I see.


    ” Melina regained herposure, shing a genuine smile.


    “It’s been a while since I’ve seen Bryson’s grandfather.


    I’ll go and greet him, so I won’t be able to keep youpany, Miss Moore.


    ”


    Neither woman made an effort to lower their voices, allowing the nearby crowd to catch every word.


    Before Melina could leave, whispers started circting.


    “Isn’t Melina Glyn the one the Mitchell family actually approves of?This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Who is this other woman with Bryson?”


    “Wasn’t she married to Den? Their divorce was quite the scandal, and she walked away with a good chunk of the Edwards family’s fortune!”


    “Just divorced and she’s already ensnared Bryson? She’s something else.


    ”


    “I mean, look at her.


    She’s stunning.


    Who could resist her?”


    Amid the whispers, Den stood gripping a wine ss, his gaze locked onto Hannah.


    She was the main focus of the banquet, and he found it difficult to look away.


    “Den? Is something the wrong?”


    Eliana had long sensed that Den’s attention was unwaveringly on Hannah.


    Though seething with jealousy, she resisted making a public spectacle of her feelings toward Den.

    Holding back her irritation, she lightly nudged Den’s arm.


    “Why so lost in thought? What has caught your eye?”


    Den quickly looked away and took a sip of his red wine, as if to hide the unease he felt.


    “Nothing at all.


    ”


    Meanwhile, Sadie was audibly fuming beside them.


    “Mr.


    Mitchell is engaged, and yet here she is, trying to wedge herself into their rtionship.


    How scandalous! The fiancee is an heiress from the Glyn family.


    What significance does Hannah hold? She’s just a woman from a broken home.


    She’s not even in the same league as Mr.


    Mitchell!”


    Hearing Sadie’s words, Eliana felt a figurative p to her face, making her grip her fists in silence.


    Engaging in affairs and being a mistress, Eliana realized she was also guilty of such disgraceful behavior.


    Unaware of Eliana’s internal struggle, Sadie leaned in closer and gripped her arm.


    “Eliana, you agree with me, don’t you? What right does that bitch have?”
