Isabella strutted over in her high heels, her demeanor proud and haughty. "Mia, I can't believe you're wearing another man's jacket to the banquet. What kind of impression are you giving my brother?"

Raising an eyebrow, Mia responded, “Lewis and I have no relationship. As for whose jacket I wear to the banquet, do you have any say in it?" “But the news outside is all about you and Lewis getting engaged soon. This decision is made by both our families, and whether you agree or not doesn't matter. So you'd better tone it down."

Disgust flickered across Mia's face. "My family has never agreed to me marrying Lewis. Don't try to embellish yourselves.”

It had always been the Bowen family's wishful thinking, and now they were even attempting to spread rumors through the media.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman approached Mia and said, "Ms. Lane, don't be hesitant. My son truly adores you. If you consent, our family will organize a lavish wedding for you."

Isabella chimed in, nodding vigorously. "Yes, Mom. But Mia is wearing another man's jacket to the banquet. It's obvious she doesn't care about Lewis. Someone like her isn't deserving of him."

Noticing the jacket draped over Mia's shoulders, Connie interjected, “Ms. Lane, the Bowen family holds considerable status as well. Once you marry into our family, you'll be expected to abide by our rules and let go of any unfavorable habits."
