Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 295

The Swanwick family had never been involved in politics until the patriarch brought their son, Kellan, into the field, which paved the way for their current position.

Over the decades, he had climbed the ranks without slowing down and also secured a solid foothold in Lakeshore City.

Despite that, the Swanwicks and the Moores rarely crossed paths. Their respective fields of work kept them in separate circles, and there was little to no interaction between the two families.

In Lakeshore City, ordinary families wouldn't dare offend either the Moore or Swanwick families. Instead, they silently hoped to marry their daughters into the Moore family or secure a match with one of the Swanwick daughters.

After all, such alliances could significantly boost their social standing and career prospects.

…

Outside the Moore residence, the driver carefully helped the woman out of the car. "Miss, please watch your step."

She was wearing a pastel pink dress paired with high heels and a loose-knit cardigan draped over her shoulders. Her striking features were accentuated by almond-shaped eyes that held a faint, knowing smile.

This woman was Lysette, the youngest daughter of the Swanwick family.

In Lakeshore City, many sought to ingratiate themselves with her, but she rarely gave anyone the time of day and kept her distance from casual socializing.

Rumor had it she already had someone in her heart, but no one dared to speculate that it might be someone from the Moore family. After all, their status was beyond question, and few would risk discussing them lightly.

"Ms. Swanwick."

As the lady of the house, Barbara was responsible for receiving guests.

"Mrs. Moore," Lysette greeted her.

"What a surprise! If I'd known you were coming, I would've had everything prepared in advance."

No matter the circumstances, Barbara wasn't one to make a guest feel unwelcome. She invited Lysette inside, where Robert was seated in the living room. However, Edward was nowhere to be seen.
