Chapter 603
Just a few minutes ago
Clair was basking in the compliments of the rich ladies.
Rich Lady A said, ‘I heard last year that some mysterious tycoon splashed out 30 million bucks to get his wife a necklace called Heavenly Radiance, symbolizing eternal love. I’ve been wondering who this big spender was, who could casually drop 30 million on a necklace, turns out it was Mr. Reese”
Rich Lady B chimed in “Mr. Reese’s love for his wife is well known in Riverton. I don’t find it surprising at all that he’d spend big bucks on his beloved”
Rich Lady C asked. ‘Do you know why Mr. Reese is so generous?”
The other rich ladies cooperatively asked, “Why?”
Rich Lady C looked at Clair. ‘Of course, because of Mrs Reese’s beauty Come closer, take a good look. Mrs. Reese is not only beautiful but also looks very young, we can’t see a single wrinkle on her face even though we’re so close to her.”
Clair was in her forties, indeed well–maintained, but no matter how well you took care of yourself, you can’t defy nature rules, there were still some wrinkles on her face. Everyone was blindly complimenting, Clair was over the moon, almost forgetting who she was, “I told my hubby many times not to waste money on these jewels. But he wouldn’t listen and said that my good mood was priceless.”
Clair had achieved her current status by wrecking Mr. Reese’s original marriage. Everyone in Riverton’s rich circle knew about it, but society had always been superficial. As long as the Reese Group didn’t go belly up, and as long as Clair was Mrs. Reese, no one cared how she got her status. They would only flock around her to compliment

While they were chatting, they heard chatter about Marcus nearby
“Word is that President Hartley showed up with his wife, they’re in the drop–off area night now”
“What? Marcus and his wife?”
“Yeah, those who’ve seen them say she’s absolutely stunning, and doesn’t pale in comparison standing next to him”
“Let’s go check it out.”
“Hold your horses, they’ll be in soon.”
Marcus was the real big shot in Riverton, the attention of the rich ladies was instantly drawn to the conversation nearby.
Rich Lady A asked, ‘Mrs Reese, you guys are close with the Hartley family, have you met his wife?”
Clair answered, “The Hartley family, the Reese family, the Wilson family, the Petersen family, we’re like one big family, of course we’ve met. But from what I know, Marc and his wife are not as lovey–dovey as the outside world thinks…”
The name “Marc” used by Clair was meant to tell others about their close relationship.
Rich Lady B pursued, “What do you mean?”
Clair glanced around, her gaze landing on a green potted plant, “Some things are better left unsaid…”
Even though she said it wasn’t suitable to talk about, her eyes gave it away.
