Chapter 230
The tea-tasting event was held at a place named Divine Tea, which was
located in a shopping mall. Because of that, it became a favorite thing to do
for many rich women as they could go shopping after the event.
Meanwhile, Lexi might only be Mackenzie’s personal secretary, but the
Summerton family was actually prestigious. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising for
Lexi to attend the tea–tasting event as she mingled with the other rich
women. Nonetheless, there was an unexpected guest on that particular
Saturday. Although Divine Tea was currently occupied with wealthy and
snobbish women, they were left with their eyes wide open as they stood up in
disbelief the moment they saw a certain someone.
“What’s wrong with you people?” Lexi, who was facing away from the door,
couldn’t help but feel puzzled when she noticed the expressions on the other
ladies‘ faces. Soon enough, her curiosity prompted her to turn around and
find out what was going on, in which a surprised look appeared on her face.
“Ms. Quillen? What brings you here? I remember you haven’t been here for at
least a year.” She quickly walked up to Mackenzie.
In the meantime, Mackenzie–a revered figure in Yeringham–was instantly
surrounded by the ladies around her. Thinking Mackenzie rarely came to an
event like this, they would never give up on the chance to get to know her
better. Nonetheless, she only nodded at those people without showing much
interest in interacting with them.
Although those ladies didn’t know her well, they didn’t find it surprising to see
the pricey jewelry she wore on her, as they believed she could afford them.
As for Lexi, she was too surprised by Mackenzie’s arrival that she didn’t notice
the necklace around the latter’s neck right away when she saw her.
Until Claudette approached them and greeted Mackenzie, “Ms. Quillen, you
look gorgeous today! Is that golden jade phoenix you’re wearing?” It turned
out that Claudette was the owner of Divine Tea, which gave her a
respectable status in that place. Thus, her words had instantly given rise to
audible gasps from the crowd.
“Hey, I recognize that. That was Thomas Cline’s finest piece of art in the
auction last night!”
“Wait, what?! How come Ms. Quillen is wearing it? Could it be that some rich
guy is trying to win her heart or something?”
“It seems to me that she does live up to her reputation as the prettiest
Regardless of the intentions behind those compliments, Lexi immediately
caught on to what Mackenzie was up to, being someone who knew her well.
Ms. Quillen is here to show off, isn’t she? Holy moly! This is unbelievable!
“Guilty as charged, Ms. Lenoir. You’re too kind.” Mackenzie reacted with a
beautiful smile that replaced her initial indifferent expression.
would do that for me!” Claudette smiled as an unfathomable look flashed
It was then that the situation began to dawn on Lexi even more. Ah, I see
what’s going on now. Ms. Quillen didn’t come here just to show off. She is here
