Chapter 1987 Being Worldly Wise
Kaylee felt her head spinning.
So, the elderly woman being supported by Elisa is Julia. Did I just end up flattering the wrong person?
Suddenly, her world turned dark, and her smile froze on her lips.
Julia leisurely took her seat at the head of the table. She gently patted Elisa’s hand, signifying their close relationship.
This made Kaylee’s face turn even paler.
After Julia sat down, it was then that Maria laughed and said, “Well, that’s not true. It’s just that the young lady simply mistook me for you, Madam Smith.”
Kaylee’s face was turning pale even more.
Doesn’t this imply that I’m someone who curries favor for the sake of fame and fortune?
So, Kaylee could only force a couple of awkward laughs, attempting to salvage her image.
“No… That’s not it. I genuinely feel a connection with you.”
Maria laughed, evidently skeptical, but chose not to call it out.
But now, in this situation, calling it out or not wasn’t that important anymore.
All those present grasped the situation without the need for verbal explanation; only Kaylee remained on the outside.
Bella’s lips curled up in a smile, one that she couldn’t suppress even if she tried.
Kaylee felt embarra*sed, her face burning with shame.
Fortunately, Julia didn’t ignore her.
“Who are you?” she asked.
Given the opportunity to speak, Kaylee naturally seized it.
So, with a hint of shyness and hesitation, she said, “I-I am a friend of Mr. Wickam and Ms. Benett. We met in the mountains.”
Kaylee was a smart woman. She didn’t emphasize that she was the one who saved Elisa’s life, but Julia would eventually find out about it, or perhaps she already knew.
Sure enough, Julia curved her lips into a smile and said, “Missy, I’ve heard about you. You’re the one who saved Elisa’s life, aren’t you?”
But Kaylee couldn’t muster a smile.
