In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 430

The wealthy lady sarcastically remarked, "Mrs. Hawkins, I don't think you're jealous. You're regretful—extremely regretful.

"After all, you were blind and turned down the opportunity to have the world's richest family's daughter as your daughter-in-law. Now you've found a—"

Susan became anxious. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who did you say is blind? Explain yourself."

"The Hawkins family really lacks insight. That's why they can't appreciate your worth. Thankfully, everything is falling into the best arrangement now. I wish you and Mr. Fulton a happy marriage soon."
