His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 264

The next day, at The Fragrance Atelier.

Virginia wore a sharply tailored silk dress paired with modest heels. Aside from a stunning four-leaf clover diamond necklace and a matching bracelet, she wore no other jewelry.

Yet this minimalist elegance showcased her radiant, untouchable aura flawlessly.

She had barely taken her seat before the same socialites who had ignored her existence yesterday swarmed around her.

"Dr. Caldwell, whose couture line is this dress? The fabric is stunning."

"Dr. Caldwell, the man who picked you up yesterday... that was Mr. Vanderbilt, wasn't it? Are you two..."

Virginia kept her expression beautifully composed, offering only distant, polite smiles, refusing to take the bait.

She had already seen their true colors yesterday and had absolutely no energy to humor their fake pleasantries today.

Sitting across the table, Mrs. Langley's face was a stormy mess.

She had purposely worn the latest tweed Chanel dress, but this woman had completely stolen her thunder!

"What do you mean, 'Dr. Caldwell'?" Mrs. Langley scoffed coldly, aggressively setting her Himalayan bag on the table. "I've met Mrs. Vanderbilt before. Sure, they might share the same last name, but she is certainly not Virginia."

"Everyone in our circle knows how much Mr. Vanderbilt loves his wife. Who does this woman think she is? She's nothing but a dirty little mistress."

The surrounding chatter died instantly.

Virginia lifted her gaze, locking eyes with Mrs. Langley.

"Mrs. Langley, watch your mouth."

Her tone was even, betraying no shift in emotion whatsoever.

But her eyes were sharp, carrying an uncomfortable, biting chill.
