Chapter265
That was the Estrada family in Kingchester, a true aristocracy that they usually had no chance to come into contact with!
Now Adalynn had actually come to Minston and even held a banquet to invite them. How could they not cherish this opportunity to curry favor?
Stella, as Adalynn’s recently favored attendant, naturally attended the banquet today.
She wore a dress that she had almost exhausted her savings to buy, holding a glass of champagne in her hand, shaking it in a pretentious manner, trying to insert herself into the conversation circle of the wealthy young ladies.
After failing a few times, she glanced at the door several times and suddenly said, “Oh, why hasn’t Ophelia come yet? She wouldn’t have chickened out, would she?”
“Ophelia?” Upon hearing this familiar name, several young ladies from Minston finally noticed her and glanced at her- but it was just that one glance. Although they fawned over Adalynn, what was Stella to them?
No matter how Stella pretended or perhaps even attended some etiquette training before the party, the essence of a person is not so easily changed. They could still recognize her at a glance, so no one had the intention of lowering themselves to speak with Stella.
After a brief glance, they all looked at Adalynn in surprise and said, “Adalynn, you actually invited Ophelia?”
Adalynn curled her lips into a smile, “Of course, Ophelia was the star of today’s banquet.”
Apheres
This remark surprised and puzzled everyone.
Stella hurriedly explained-
“Did you know that Ophelia was kept by someone?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. “What?!”
Stella enjoyed the gazes of the wealthy young ladies, straightened her back with effort, and disdainfully said, “Ophelia became someone else’s mistress, and it was a married man at that; his legitimate wife even went to the school!”
“However, Ophelia still refused to admit it and insisted that it was her boyfriend. Ha, it’s laughable; now she actually knows how to save face.”
“At today’s banquet, Adalynn asked her if she dared to bring her so–called ‘boyfriend‘ along. At that time, she readily agreed, but now that the banquet was about to start, there was still no sign of him.”
“This was clearly a sign of cowardice; she didn’t dare to come, fearing that someone would expose the fact that the man was actually her benefactor!”
As soon as Stella finished speaking, the young ladies began to discuss among themselves.
“Oh my gosh, I had heard that Ophelia got married, but I couldn’t find out who she married. It turned out she became someone’s mistress?!”
“Tsk tsk, no wonder it was so low–key; it turned out to be something that couldn’t be put on display!”
“I had long suspected that there was definitely a problem; otherwise, how could she have been hiding it like this?”
“There was a time when rumors suddenly spread, saying that she had
married an impressive husband. However, after looking into it carefully, I couldn’t find any evidence. Now I know that this was probably just something she spread herself out of fear of losing face!”
“Tsk tsk. I used to think that Ophelia was already a waste of space and couldn’t be any more insignificant, but I didn’t expect her to be even more unremarkable…”
“Hehe, when being a mistress, she must have known how to serve men very well, right?”
The upper circle of Minston also had its own hierarchy.
For most people, they only knew that there was a mysterious Mr. Winford from Minston, who came from Kingchester, and they had never even seen him.
