No wonder even Lady Patrice said Rebecca Kelloway had changed.
Regina Kelloway didn’t doubt at all that Rebecca could truly do all those things.
The Rebecca Kelloway of today was no longer the sa person as before.

Joanna Lawrence and Ashton Heath also left the banquet early.
In the car, Ashton Heath thought about what he’d seen earlier and asked her, "What’s going on with Gary?"
"Huh?" Joanna Lawrence looked at him, puzzled.
Ashton Heath held her close, fiddling with her diamond earring as he chuckled, "I saw him pulling and tugging with a girl. They seed to have a rather unusual relationship."
"You saw that too?" Joanna exclaid.
"Hmm? So, you also saw him pulling and tugging with that girl?"
"Yep," Joanna nodded, "I did."
"Do you know that girl?"
"I don’t. Gary said he knew her from before, and her na is Zoey Turpin. She just recently returned to the country from abroad. I had actually wanted to ask you what kind of relationship she and Gary have, but it seems you don’t know either."
"Zoey Turpin?" Ashton Heath paused for a mont and then said, "That na sounds familiar. Now I rember, she and Gary did know each other from before."
"You know her?" Joanna imdiately asked curiously, "Then are she and Gary just regular friends?"
"Of course not. Gary White wouldn’t pull and tug like that with an ordinary friend."
"Then are they..."
"They are friends, but more than just ordinary friends. She used to be his student."
"What? Gary was a teacher?" Joanna was very surprised.
"He was a visiting professor at an Art Academy for a year. Zoey Turpin was attending that school. That’s how they t each other."
Ashton Heath thought about it and laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Back then, so rumors spread about the Art Academy. Do you want to know what the rumors were?"
Joanna’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she imdiately nodded, "Yes!"
Ashton Heath thought for a mont and said, "There were rumors of a teacher-student romance between Gary and Zoey Turpin, but they were later refuted."
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
A teacher-student romance?!
"At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but it doesn’t seem that simple now."
"What do you an by that...?"
"I’ve never seen Gary White pull and tug like that with any other woman." Ashton Heath said only this sentence.
Joanna Lawrence understood him.
"So you think that Gary likes Zoey Turpin?"
"It’s not necessarily ’like.’ But it’s definitely not just treating her as a friend."
Joanna Lawrence didn’t say anything.
She had noticed it too.
However, since Gary White refused to admit it, what could she do?
Moreover, Joanna thought that the reason Gary wouldn’t admit it was probably because he hadn’t realized it himself.
Just like how she had actually fallen in love with Ashton Heath a long ti ago but only realized it in hindsight.
"But, Gary said that he treats Zoey Turpin like a sister." Joanna Lawrence bit her lip and sighed, "Do you think he hasn’t realized that he’s fallen for her? If that’s the case, should I help him out?"
She was really afraid that her obtuse brother would miss out on a great marriage.
"It’s not impossible what you’re saying. But I think it’s better to let him handle this kind of thing himself and not interfere too much. Baby, Gary is already thirty years old, and n at this age are already mature in their dealings. He knows what to do."
