“Gloria you invited Mrs. Chavez, didn’t you? You’ve been quite close to hertely, righton’s voice was irritating-


    Her tone was sarcastic.


    Gloria, who was mentioned, immediately denied it. “Oh,e on. What


    Chavez recently. Her status is way above mine. We’re the same, don’t you saying? I’ve just been a bit closer to Mrs. so that. I’m just passing on a message.”


    The woman next to Gloria was named Eleanore. Her husband was a deputy minister at Betrico’s Ministry of Finance.


    She usually couldn’t stand Aurora, who never seemed to age, unlike them even though they were the same age. She once asked if Aurora used any special skincare of makeup while Aurora said it was because of a positive attitude and regr spa visits. She didn’t believe that at all.


    This group went to spas often enough. Yet they didn’t get results like Aurora’s. So she thought Aurora must have a secret recipe she was not sharing and keeping to herself. She thought Aurora was very petty.


    Almost everyone present was a high-society wife from the upper ss of Betrico, but none had a status as prestigious as the Chavez family. Setting aside the achievements of Jase and Clifford, even Jeremiah was far more aplished than their kids. This disparity left these women feeling uneasy. So they often banded together to gossip and say bad things about Aurora. If anyone became too friendly with Aurora, they would deliberately exclude her.


    Eleanore spoke up. “We all know what kind of temper Aurora has, and with Gloria’s personality, there’s no way they could be close. So don’t make baseless assumptions.*


    Afew of the women nodded. Gloria was indeed too shy to be close friends with someone like Aurora. As for why Eleanore defended Gloria, it was because Gloria gave her a limited-edition ne yesterday


    Eleanore continued, “I bet Aurora won’t show up. We’ve invited her ten times, and she’d only show up once. With her status, she probably thinks she’s too good for us.”


    As soon as she said that, the women in the booth started chatting noisily.


    Lucy took a sip of her coffee and found it tasted nd. A perfectly nice private cafe was turned upside down by this group of women. They were chattering like crows, making her ears ring.


    She thought, ‘Howe I picked this ce out of all ces? I finally get the chance to meet with Yvette, the whole atmosphere is ruined. Yvette may not want to see me anymore. It’s such a disappointment, Those louddies could do nothing but gossip behind people’s backs. If Aurora was here, they wouldn’t be able to say anything”


    Yvette maintained a neutral expression the whole time. She just focused on sipping her milkshake, quietly listening to the conversation next door. She didn’t stop until she finished her milkshake. A sly smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She seemed to radiate a dangerous aura.


    The women over there were still talking about the Chavez family, and once again the topic shifted to Jeremiah’s girlfriending from a small town. “Do you think Clifford would approve of Mr. Jeremiah Chavez dating a girl with such modest background from Seacrity?”


    Two of the women took exaggerated sips of their coffee, speaking in low tones, “I don’t think so. Mr. Jeremiah Chavez is probably just ying around, and he’ll break up with her when he’s tired of her


    “That can’t be right. Mr. Jeremiah Chavez doesn’t seem like the kind of person for casual affairs. Everyone knows Mr. Clifford Chavez is devoted, and Jeremiah seems the same.”


    The other women frowned at the one who spoke, clearly displeased.


    Eleanore sneered sarcastically, “Oh,e on. You can’tpare father and son like that. Times have changed. Nowadays, it’smon for men to have a fewdy friends.


    Their husbands had too many female friends, but they all chose to turn a blind eye. They were used to it


    Anotherdy with her hair in a bun nodded along in agreement Yeah. Do you think everyone is as fortunate as Aurora! Mecting someone like Clifford? I suspect that Mr. Jeremiah Chavez is just attracted by her looks. Give it some time, and the novelty will fade, Honestly, when ites to someone truly suitable for him, it’s definitely Samantha, the heiress of the Mitchell family from Betrico”


    One could hear the jealousy in their words.


    As for Samantha, the mention of her name made the group of women fall silent for a moment.


    At the booth, Lucy stirred her coffee, the gossip going in one ear and out the other. She found it quite exciting


    Yvette had already finished her three milkshakes and arranged the empty cups neatly on the table.


    When she heard Samantha’s name from next door, her brow twitched slightly, her pupils dark and deep. Her delicate features maintained their usualposed demeanor. Her hand gave a slight pause on the table, her voice calm. “Samantha?” Lucy didn’t expect Yvette to be interested in Samantha and quickly added, “Samantha is quite a formidable woman. She started in the business world at just sixteen, with a strong background. Her dad is the deputymander of the military district in Betrico, and even though her grandpa is retired, his influence is still significant. I’ve dealt with her a few times. She’s challenging to handle, but she’s brilliant. In terms of status, the Mitchell family and the Chavez family are indeed well- matched. Samantha and Jeremiah? It might actually work as a solid political alliance.”


    Yvette lifted her gaze, her eyes deep, and said slowly. “Well-matched?”


    Lucy nodded without hesitation. “Yeah. They really are a good match.”


    Just at that moment, a woman in the next booth said, “Aurora usually acts all high and mighty, but now Mr. Jeremiah Chavez’s dating someone from a small town. Isn’t that funny? I bet she’d be really mad


    No sooner had she spoken, there was a loud bang. The entire floor of the café shook.


    Yvette paused for a moment before calmly standing up and heading out.


    Lucy followed her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that there was some juicy gossip going around.


    The door of the room next door had been kicked down, lying t on the ground. Clearly, a lot of force had been used.


    Inside, a group of women stood frozen, their mouths open in shock.


    At the door was Aurora, dressed simply in a white shirt and blue jeans, wearing a pair of high heels.


    She’d been standing there for a whole fifteen minutes.


    If it hadn’t been for the traffic jam, she might have missed this whole scene.


    Normally, these women fawned over her with fake smiles, making her feel ufortable, and Aurora had no desire to hang out with them.


    Today was purely impulsive. Feeling bored, she thought she’d step out for a bit. If it weren’t for this chance, she wouldn’t have realized just how two-faced these women were.


    Now, these wealthydies were staring at Aurora standing at the doorway, her face as cold as stone. They all fell silent, too scared to make a sound. The few whose families weren’t in high positions didn’t even dare to lift their heads. Talking behind her back was one thing, but they dare not to say anything to her face. They didn’t want to ask for trouble.


    Gloria, who was slightly closer to Aurora, managed to muster a shaky smile and cautiously asked, “When did you get here. Mrs. Chavez? Why didn’t youe in?”


    Everyone else perked up their cars.


    If Aurora had just arrived, they might still have some leeway.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Aurora, already tall, looked even more imposing in her two-inch heels. This group of wealthy women of various shapes and sizes seemed like they belonged to another erapared to her


    Aurora casually ced her expensive handbag on the table and took a seat on the chair closest to the door.


    She nced around at the women gathered together, all showing awkward expressions.


    Her eyes were cold and icy. She thought, “Who the hell are you to meddle in my son’s affairs?
