Upon hearing this, Belinda first frowned, then set down her cutleries, stood up, and said to her children, “Mr. Queen is here. Follow me to greet him.”
It was not surprising for Belinda that Kevin had arrived.
Liberty was associated with the Yorks and Stones.
Although Kevin the third young master of the Yorks was intimidating, the influence of the York family in Jensburg was not as strong as the Queen family, which made Belinda more concerned about the Queen family.
Hayden’s uninvited arrival was likely at the behest of Kevin to support Liberty, hinting at the Fishers that Liberty was not without influential support, and that was the Queen family.
Upon hearing that Hayden had arrived, Celine felt quite nervous. She hurriedly glanced at the clothes she was wearing tonight. Knowing that her mother only invited Liberty over, she did not deliberately change into an evening gown, just wearing casual clothes.
Should she go upstairs now to change into a formal dress?
Maybe it was too late.
Fortunately, her casual attire was also trendy and novel, portraying her as elegant and refined.
Moreover, she was young, beautiful, and had a good figure.
Even without wearing an evening gown, she could outshine the others.
Confident in herself, Celine cast a glance at Caroline. She then stood up, following Belinda closely so that Mr. Queen would see her at first sight.
Liberty did not follow them outside.
She was not the host of the Fisher family yet, so she did not need to attend to the guests.
Observing the imposter Celine seizing Caroline’s place, Liberty’s eyes flickered. She had heard that Celine liked Hayden quite dearly.
Hayden, however, showed courtesy and warmth to Caroline, the true heiress while ignoring Celine, the fake one, which left Celine infuriated.
Internally mocking Celine, Liberty anticipated that when Hayden’s true identity as a woman was revealed, Celine would probably be dumbfounded and her heart would shatter.
