And what he needs to know is what she has been hiding.
Inside the hall, everyone was exchanging pleasantries, and many of the ladies were discussing and comparing the jewelry they were wearing.
So even brought up lody Thorne’s embarrassing monts from the last two tis she was here, events that provided them with laughter for a year.
"Has lody arrived?" Old Mr. Quinn had asked two or three tis already. His expression was sowhat grave, as the previous incidents had indeed been unfair to her.
The butler was pondering how to respond when he looked up and saw a woman in a floor-length evening gown gracefully walking in, holding Timmy by the hand. With each step she took, she exuded an aura like an unapproachable black swan, dazzling and striking under the luxurious lights.
The butler almost didn’t recognize that it was lody Thorne. In the past, whenever lody attended the Quinn Family’s banquets, she wore pale colors, not very stunning, but now she seed almost blinding to the guests’ eyes.
"Here they co, here they co, Old Master, the young lady and the young master have arrived," the butler pointed towards the entrance, finally snapping back, his slightly excited tone involuntarily raising a notch.
Many people, hearing the butler’s voice, simultaneously turned their gaze towards lody Thorne.
lody Thorne appeared calm, with a fitting smile on her lips, walking steadily into the venue without any sign of stage fright or shyness.
"Oh, I wondered what was different this year, turns out it’s just a change of clothes," soon after the amazent in their eyes faded, many started to mock her.
"Even if she dresses well, isn’t it all bought with the Quinn Family’s money? Their Thorne Family has long been bankrupt, where would she find the money to buy an evening gown?"
"Did you pick that dress she’s wearing?" a woman nudged Mrs. Quinn beside her. "When she married into the Quinn Family, she didn’t bring a penny, yet you’re so kind to her? She didn’t hesitate to embarrass you the last two tis."
Mrs. Quinn’s expression wasn’t good; every ti lody Thorne appeared, she would be ridiculed by those around her.
Her daughter-in-law couldn’t compare to others’ daughters-in-law at all.
"What’s with the airs? Arriving only now," Mrs. Quinn spoke irritably.
lody Thorne raised the corners of her lips, her smile becoming even more poised and graceful, "Sorry, Mom, maybe the car was a bit slow on the way."
"Daring to be late for the Quinn Family’s banquet, I really don’t know if you’re trying to embarrass your mother-in-law," a woman sneered coldly.
lody Thorne recognized her; it was unforgettable. The last ti, this woman deliberately caused her to fall and tear her dress, making her a laughingstock in public.
"Oh, it’s Auntie," lody Thorne still smiled serenely, "Auntie’s quite far from here now, right? I’m glad you could co to our Quinn Family banquet this ti. Eat and take whatever you like from the banquet, even though you’re married now, you still ca from the Quinn Family, so no need to be polite."
In the past, Rosalyn Quinn always wanted to take advantage and bring back as much as she could from the Quinn Family.
Listening to lody Thorne’s words, Rosalyn Quinn’s face turned various shades, as it was clearly stated that she was out of the Quinn Family, while lody Thorne married into the Quinn Family and was the one in charge here.
"Whatever I want to take, it’s rightfully mine. Do I need you to worry about it? Not to ntion Jared doesn’t fancy you, even I don’t," she retorted.
lody Thorne continued to smile, "Then feel free, Auntie. But Jared and I get along very well, so no need to worry about us."
"You..." Rosalyn Quinn seed slapped in the face, yet it seed lody Thorne was considerate and generous, not stooping to her level.
