In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 428

"Madam Hawkins, it's been a long time. You seem to be getting younger and younger."

"What have you been busy with lately? Don't you have time to play cards with us?"

"We should get together when we have the chance."

Listening to the crowd's "expressions of concern", Susan couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied. It was as if she had regained the feeling of being the center of attention as she had before.

A sense of pride quickly welled up in her heart.

Jessica, who was by her side, naturally attracted everyone's attention. "Madam Hawkins, this is …"

Hearing that, Jessica took the initiative to be friendly. "Hi, everyone. I'm Jessica Landon."

Upon hearing that, the crowd couldn't help but size Jessica up. Yet she was completely unfamiliar to them. So they concluded that she wasn't the daughter of any of the prestigious families.

Hence, they didn't pay much attention to Jessica. Their attitudes toward her instantly cooled, and they showed no intention of interacting with her.

Seeing this, Susan pulled Jessica over and introduced her to everyone. "Jessica is an internationally renowned fashion designer. She's very famous.

"If any of you need help designing dresses, you can totally find her. She can offer you significant discounts."

Several wealthy ladies nodded after hearing Susan's words. Yet they still didn't take Jessica seriously.

Instead, one of them, Ariana Gillespie, unexpectedly said, "When Mrs. Hawkins mentioned designer just now, I felt like I had some impression of you."

Hearing this, Jessica smiled broadly. It seemed that her years of effort hadn't been in vain. Someone was recognizing her designs.
