She was quite adept at turning the tables.

In an instant, all eyes turned to Josie. A few who knew her wanted to step forward and defend her, but they were surrounded by the crowd, unable to make their way out.

The night wind rustled. Josie’s complexion was fair, so she was particularly conspicuous and elegant as she stood amidst the crowd in a gown.

She chuckled softly, mockery showing on her face. “At such an event, only you would rely on connections to get in. In all my years, Ms. Ross, this is the first time I’ve encountered a mistress standing up for the wife. You’ve certainly broadened my horizons.”
