Beyond the Divorce

Liora probably hadn't expected me to be so calm. However, the woman named Vicky, who was with her, seemed to recognize me and was a bit surprised.

Staring at me with displeasure, she asked, "How can it be you?"

I shifted my gaze from Liora to Vicky and asked, "Why can't it be me?"

Liora glanced at Vicky and interrupted her, "Do you two know each other?"

"We met at Arkadia Plaza yesterday," Vicky said. "She couldn't even afford a dress there and dare to wear a knockoff here."

"Tsk tsk, Vicky, what nonsense are you saying?" Liora immediately interjected. "You may not know this, but Ms. Chloe is a nouveau riche with strong ties. In the future, Ms. Chloe might be the center of attention at such gatherings. How could she be wearing knockoffs?"

Liora's ambiguous words suggested a wealthy benefactor was behind me. Otherwise, I could not attend such events. She implied that I had some secrets or connections that others didn't know.

Ivanna couldn't stand Liora's sarcastic tone and was about to speak, but everyone's attention suddenly shifted to the entrance.

I also turned to look and was delighted to see that Trinity had arrived.

As I expected, by her side was the long-unseen Stella. On her left was another girl I didn't recognize.

Liora's face immediately stiffened. Vicky grabbed Liora's arm and whispered, "Aunt Liora, that's..."
