Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 175

Samantha sat still, pretending not to see or hear anything, like someone caught somewhere between the living and the dead.

All she wanted was to quietly survive this ordeal without drawing any attention.

Meanwhile, Laura and Yara were showering Yvette with praise. But buried in their flattery were constant digs at Samantha.

Samantha felt completely numb, but what could she do? One was Leonardo's mother, while the other was his cousin. No matter how much it grated on her nerves, she had no choice but to bear it with a grin.

Just then, she noticed Vivian was just sitting silently to the side. She hadn't joined the conversation, nor had she offered any opinions.

Vivian wasn't particularly eye-catching—her features were plain but pleasant, with nothing glaringly out of place.

Her black-rimmed glasses gave her a studious, clean-cut vibe and radiated a quiet and pure presence.

Out of sheer boredom, Samantha leaned over and spoke to her. "Vivian, do you know anything about making drinks?"

Vivian smiled softly and shook her head. "No, I only know how to drink."

Samantha brightened. "What a coincidence. Same here."

It was like she'd found a kindred spirit.

However, before the moment could settle, Yara jumped in to rain on her parade. "What are you so pleased about? Vivian is the heiress of the Tucker Group and a high school teacher.

"She's got status, looks, everything. Now look at yourself—what do you have?"

Of course, Samantha had heard of Tucker Group. As one of the country's biggest construction materials suppliers, they were a major player in the business world.

Her smile stiffened. No wonder—everyone here was someone significant.

It was becoming painfully clear how hard it would be to find anyone she could relate to here.

What she didn't expect, though, was Laura suddenly snapping at Yara. "Yara, why did you have to say that?"

At first, Yara felt that it was unfair. She blinked, replaying her words in her head, and finally realized her mistake.

Quickly, she slapped a hand over her mouth, but not before throwing Samantha a venomous glare to vent her frustration.

Yet, what happened next completely blindsided her.

The three women made a beeline straight for her. "Oh my god! Mrs. Garrett, you're absolutely gorgeous! You're glowing!"

"Mr. Garrett has amazing taste—seriously!"

"He's not just anybody, huh? To land a goddess like you!"

"Mrs. Garrett, please share your skincare secrets—we need them!"

"Mrs. Garrett!" Their high-pitched chatter filled the pavilion, making the once-tense atmosphere absurdly chaotic.

However, the original group sat frozen, stunned into silence. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what was happening.

Laura's expression soured as she shot Samantha a disapproving glare. "This is your first time visiting the Garrett residence. Who told you it was okay to bring in random people?"

Samantha looked up, completely dumbfounded.
