Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1050

I could sense the disdain the two women behind me had for the Chandler family.

"Hmph. The Russell family is just as deceitful. They’re cut from the same cloth as Byron. If you ask me, if Helen hadn't married Byron, she wouldn't have died so early."

"All her troubles were caused by her own mistakes. Our daughters should be careful when they look for a man. Gabriel isn’t a good person either. Look at Hazelyn. She's only a little younger than her elder sister. It shows that there was definitely something between Byron and Jocelyn! Helen might have been driven to her death by those two." The two women chatted fervently.

I pretended to lose my balance and staggered backward, bumping into one of the ladies. I quickly bent down to apologize.

"Oops. I'm so sorry!" I smiled apologetically.

The woman turned to look at me and said gently, "No worries. It's okay."

I quickly continued, "You’re both very kind. You have an air of prosperity, unlike those other women."

My words pleased them, and they looked at me, asking, "I don’t think we’ve seen you before, Miss. Are you from around here?"

"I'm from Foswood. I happened to be in Gerby for some business and was invited to the event." I replied.

"No wonder. You don’t seem like someone from Gerby." They exchanged glances and asked me, "What business are you here for?"

After a moment of thought, I said, "I'm interested in investing in the medical field. I'm mainly here to visit a mental hospital."

"Oh? Gerby does have a mental hospital, but it's small," one of them said. She glanced at the other woman. "That's where the Chandler family's eldest daughter is."

"I just saw her. There’s an elder daughter? I thought they only had one daughter. Am I wrong?" I asked, pretending to be surprised.

The two women exchanged glances again, and one of them gestured toward Hazelyn, saying, "Her?"

They both snorted at the same time.

It seemed like the Chandler family wasn't highly regarded.

"We thought about working with the Chandler family, but there have been rumors about their questionable conduct. We're still in the evaluation process. Could you ladies give me some advice?" I asked humbly.
