Letitia, who always loved fun and excitement, dragged Jessa Lane off to go diving.
After they left, Cynthia looked at Yvonne and said, as if in passing, "I can't tell if that Ms. Lane is genuinely naive or just pretending to be."
Yvonne smiled. "Mrs. Taylor has notoriously high standards. Someone truly naive wouldn't catch her eye."
Cynthia nodded, clearly thinking the same thing as Yvonne.
"What the future daughter-in-law of the Taylor family is like has nothing to do with us, anyway," Yvonne added, stroking her belly nonchalantly.
The Taylor and Thompson families were just ordinary relatives who might see each other at holidays. The Thompson family's status in Istra was unrivaled, a fact even the Taylors had to respect. The Lane family, being new to the scene, would be even less likely to offend the Thompsons.
Therefore, neither Yvonne nor Cynthia needed to pay the Lane family much mind.
Cynthia smiled and then said, "Whether she'll even become the Taylor family's daughter-in-law is still up in the air."
If Thomas were truly interested in Jessa Lane, he would have introduced her to them personally instead of letting her tag along with Letitia.
Cynthia's thoughts drifted to the Yvonne of the past.
She and Noah had been childhood sweethearts, so she had known Bennett, Thomas, and Yvonne for a long time.
Cynthia was smart and perceptive, and she had naturally seen the emotional entanglement among the three of them.
After Yvonne's supposed death, Bennett had fallen into a long depression and almost destroyed himself. Thomas, on the other hand, continued to work and act as usual, seemingly unaffected.
Cynthia teased the young couple, making Yvonne's ears turn red. Bennett, however, acted as if he hadn't heard a thing and continued his doting.
Nicola was young and also sensitive to the smoke, so Noah brought her over to play near them.
Letitia had already thrown herself into the party, seizing the opportunity to mingle with several Thompson Group executives and chatting animatedly. Meanwhile, Dominic was happily surrounded by the daughters of several shareholders.
Jessa Lane initially hovered around Thomas, but his attitude remained lukewarm. Not wanting to seem desperate, she wisely came over to chat with Cynthia and Yvonne.
Although Jessa wasn't familiar with either Cynthia or Yvonne, there were plenty of common topics for women to discuss, like beauty, makeup, and fashion.
Besides chatting with them, Cynthia also had to keep an eye on Nicola.
