Chapter 108
What Maisie meant was Pearl had no power as a guest here.
Pearl looked around at the people whispering to each other and realized something.
She crossed her arms. “Which family do you belong to?”
Maisie shrugged and didn’t answer.
Willow walked next to her and said, “We‘re the Vanderbilts. She’s my sister.”
The Vanderbilts were famous too.
Maisie touched her forehead. The Vanderbilts had money, but they were not considered
elites. Why would she say that out loud?
“Vanderbilts?”
Pearl asked, “What Vanderbilt? I’ve never heard of you.”
Great, Willow was caught in a tough spot.
Everyone there seemed to know and started whispering. “Vanderbilts? Vanderbilts of Vaenna?”
After Pearl heard them, she covered her mouth but laughed. “Vaenna Jewellery? That small jewelry company? You’re nothing compared to La Perla.”
Willow lowered her head, biting hard on her lip.
But something came to her mind. She looked kind and generous, “Ms. Santiago, Vaenna was founded by my sister’s mother. By saying that, you’re insulting her late mother.”
Maisie squinted. Was Willow trying to get out of the spotlight by moving the attention onto her? No way!
