Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 990

The ladies of high society furrowed their brows, searching for the source of the voice.

A young woman, dressed simply with black-rimmed glasses, looked at them coldly.

"Jealousy breeds malice. Uplifting oneself by demeaning others is no virtue. Perhaps you should ponder how to improve yourselves and find your own happiness," she said coldly, adjusting her glasses before turning to leave.

The socialites glared at her, biting their lips in silent fury.

Elysia and Jessamine had been eavesdropping from behind a pillar, catching every word of mockery from the women and the young lady's sharp retort.

Corbin was away from their small private room, and as they came out looking for him, they happened upon the gossiping group.

Jessamine had been ready to confront them but was held back by Elysia.

After all, it was their first day of business trial, and it wouldn't look good to start a conflict, especially since she was the owner.

They hadn't expected someone to stand up for them, especially not a young lady.

Elysia, watching the girl leave, asked Jessamine, "Who was that girl? Do you know her?"

"Yeah, she's my brother's fiancée, chosen by my parents, Beatrix Sutton from the affluent Sutton family."

Elysia now understood why the socialites held their tongues.
