However, being surrounded by everyone's envy, Lauren felt incredibly smug. She hadn't been this glorious in a long time.
Seeing this, Maggie from the second branch glared angrily at her husband.
"Look, your brothers have stolen all the spotlight today. Each has a heavyweight son-in-law. What do we have when we go home? Especially that look on the third wife's face, it's too much!"
Edward was also frustrated. "Sigh, don't talk about it. Do you think I'm not upset? But what can we do? They're just lucky!"
If they had a son or daughter who was successful, it would be fine, but look at his family: one son and one daughter, neither brought any honor.
"By the way, where is Cathy? Why haven't I seen her? On such an important occasion, instead of making connections, where did she run off to?"
As Maggie was speaking, she saw Cathy coming over, constantly using her phone to check her face.
"Cathy, where did you go?" Maggie asked angrily.
"Mom, I went to the restroom."
"All day long you only know how to mess with that face of yours. Look at what it's become. Look at Elena and Jane. Elena is one thing, but Jane actually hooked up with Sean from Aurelis Holdings Group. Look at what you have! Forget about heavyweight figures like that, you couldn't even hold onto Justin. What use are you!" Maggie complained.
Cathy felt bad too. "Mom, stop scolding me. What could I do? It's your fault for not fighting for me. With so many people here today, give me some face!"
Seeing people coming and going around them, Maggie couldn't continue her outburst.
If anyone heard and embarrassed the old lady, the old lady wouldn't let her off easily.
Isabella finally glanced at Cathy seriously. "I didn't expect Miss Cathy to appreciate me so much. It seems Miss Cathy and I are kindred spirits."
As they spoke, they clinked their wine glasses.
"Miss Cathy, I went abroad before, so I know very little about domestic affairs, especially regarding Elena. I don't know if she is your cousin or what. Why don't you tell me about her situation?"
"Sure, I know this best. This Elena is nothing. Their eldest branch was kicked out by our family a long time ago. She was lost when she was young and only brought back later. Her parents' home is in the countryside, a bunch of hillbillies. The whole family is unpresentable. Even my grandma hates them... So how could Elena compare to you, Miss Bennett!"
Cathy said a lot, and Isabella listened seriously.
Afterward, she took out her phone and offered, "Miss Cathy, I really wish we had met sooner! How about we exchange numbers? I have a clique of sisters in the city's elite circle. I'll add you later, and we can all hang out together!"
