With James Field’s political background, it gave Joseph Field free rein to be the extremely powerful and arrogant yet highly eligible bachelor he was.
However, Mrs. Field preferred to keep a low profile. She refused all public appearance unless it was absolutely necessary.
When the other rich elderly ladies heard Mrs. Field was on the prowl for a daughter-in-law, they mobbed the Field family residence. Naturally, Mrs. Field was only interested in a diamond of the first water. She would not allow her son to meet with any ordinary woman.
Who knew Ms. Saunders would be so young and closely acquainted with Mrs. Field?
Hera was practically green with envy.
When she remembered her purpose for coming here, she forced the ugly feelings of jealousy down and turned her attention to Madeline Saunders.
The room had an air of serenity.
Suddenly, a merry chuckle erupted.
The woman carrying the harp slowly turned.
When she laid eyes on the woman’s face, Hera was frozen with shock. Her eyes widened in disbelief and she burst out, “How can it be you?”
Ashlyn smiled faintly. Her breathtaking features settled into a calm expression. She had a tiny plum blossom painted between her eyebrows, adding to the enchanting glow she emanated.
Dressed in historical clothing, she resembled a dazzling painting come to life.
Lucas was also staring at the devastatingly beautiful Ashlyn with his jaw dropped.
His obsidian eyes shifted from hostility, to shock, then to anger.
No wonder... She spoke about Madeline Saunders with such nonchalance.
No wonder... She could make the decision to send that man a painting.
No wonder... She was able to help Madeline Saunders auction off paintings.
It was because!
She’s Madeline Saunders!
