When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 242

Chapter 0242 

Natalie had long been accustomed to Susan’s sharp tongue and didn’t take it personally 

She responded with a smile. It’s just that staying home all day can get boring, so I thought organizing a 

I ten party would be a nice way to pass the time. Tea culture has become quite popular lately, so I chose 

this theme 

“Susan, you rarely attend much events, to it’s an honor for me that you made the time today. Please, come inside.” 

Natalie’s words were pleasant and her attitude was singere, making it hard for even someone as critical as Susan to find fault with her 

Not long after, Evelyn arrived with Ingrid in tow. A new face at such an event quickly attracted the 

attention of other ladies. 

“Evelyn, who is this?” 

“Who is this young woman? She looks so young!” 

Evelyn had already prepared an explanation beforehand and introduced Ingrid with a smile, “She’s a daughter of a friend of mine. Her name is Ingrid York. She’s currently studying at the Institute of Technology 

Ingrid immediately greeted the ladies present with a smile 

“Oh my, you’re still a student! No wonder she looks so fresh and vibrant. 

“Exactly, she’s even a student at the Institute of Technology! There aren’t many young women who manage to enter that college these days” 

Indeed, the institute of Technology was focused on the field of engineering and technology, which was generally male dominated Typically, male students who applied there faced stiffer competition. It was easier for female students to get in since not many women were interested in these fields 

It was clearly not a compliment. 

Unfortunately, everyone caught the underlying tone of sarcasm, except for Evelyn and Ingrid who remained oblivious 

The other ladies exchanged meaningful glances. They seemed to be smiling and speaking kindly about Ingrid, but their knowing looks betrayed them, and their eyes were filled with silent ridicule 

“Isn’t the dress that she’s wearing from Celine’s collection three years ago? It’s so outdated. Where did she even dig that up? It’s hideous” 

“Exactly! She clearly doesn’t know what kind of occasion this is. What a tacky and tasteless young 

woman 

“It just goes to show that birds of a feather flock together! She’s just like her mother–in–law” 

Did they really think that the elite society were fools? 

The gossip about the Johnson family’s heir getting a college student pregnant had spread like wildfire

within the upper crust. 

Now, Evelyn had the audacity to bring this young woman out in public and tried to pass her off as a friend’s daughter? 

It was nothing more than a flimsy excuse to salvage her reputation. 

But the other ladies chose not to call her out on it. They wanted to see how Evelyn would continue with this charade. This was prime gossip material, and they were more than happy to indulge her. 

Later, they could share this story with their relatives as a source of amusement over tea time. Why wouldn’t they enjoy the show?” 

Evelyn was completely oblivious to the fact that the others were there for entertainment. She genuinely believed that their praises were sincere.
