Everyone at the party knew Westley, but they couldn't get close to him. All they could do was admire him from a distance. But as soon as they saw him walking toward a woman, the people began to gossip.
"Who is she?"
They just saw Mia return with an ordinary woman, whom they didn't know. Everyone was trying to figure out who she was.
Gabrielle didn't look like an influential woman from the business circle. Yet she was a friend of Mia and was invited to attend Micheal's birthday party.
However, they didn't bother probing further. After all, Mia had a distinct personality.
Mia was willful, arrogant, and supercilious, unlike the other young women.
Mia never hid her feelings -- she openly revealed her love and hatred for people. She didn't bother flattering anyone for her personal gain. Therefore, Mia had offended many people in the circle over the years. Everyone knew that the people who took the initiative to make friends with Mia would ultimately suffer.
Gabrielle's presence piqued everyone's curiosity. They were all desperate to know who she was.
They were wondering how Mia got to make friends with such an ordinary woman.
"She looks normal. I don't think she is from a wealthy family. Who knows how she became friends with Mia?"
"Is she trying to cheat Mia or something?"
"No. It would be more convincing if you said Mia is deceiving that woman. After all, she looks gullible. I think anyone can cheat her."
"Really? But I wonder how she is close to Mr. Robinson. They are interacting as if they've known each other for a long time."

Everyone got into a heated discussion after seeing Westley approach the woman.
They were all curious as to why he was talking to Gabrielle. After all, they didn't look like they had just met.
"I think we should distance ourselves from each other," Gabrielle whispered to Westley as the people's inquisitive gazes made her uncomfortable.
After all, Westley was still a celebrity. She couldn't affect his reputation.
"Don't bother about what they say. No one has the audacity to judge me." Westley shrugged nonchalantly.
"That's right, Gabrielle. This is my brother's home. You don't have to worry about what other people say. These people are here only for my brother. I have even fought with some of these women before. So ignore them!" Mia stood up for Gabrielle.
She didn't care about the people attending the party and didn't want Gabrielle to worry about what they thought of her either.
Although Mia was right, Gabrielle couldn't agree with her.
"We better maintain a low profile." She shot a warning look at Westley.
"Okay, as you wish," Westley compromised. If not for Gabrielle, he wouldn't have attended the party in the first place. So he agreed to listen to her.
Gabrielle smiled at him. "I know you are the best."
Mia frowned at the way they interacted with each other. She regretted inviting Westley. After all, the two couldn't stop themselves from showing off their love for each other.
"Dinner is ready. Now that everyone's
