Once the answer was out, everyone started tossing out ideas.
“So, which rich Williams families are there in Cabinda?”
“I feel like I’ve heard of one, but it’s just not coming to me right now…”
“If you don’t know, why not just look it up?”
That snapped everyone to attention. Phones came out, and the room buzzed as people searched for Williams families in Cabinda.
They actually found two. But as they stared at the results—both just mid-tier families—their faces twisted with confusion. A third-tier family from Cabinda wasn’t much fancier than someone from Harrisburg. It was nothing like what Ablitt and his friends had hyped up, as if Audrey was way out of everyone’s league. They couldn’t help but feel a little let down.
Most people didn’t even give the other result, ‘The Williams Family,’ a second glance. Deep down, they didn’t think it was possible.
Still, a few sharper guests made the connection. One leaned in close to a friend and whispered, “Hey, do you think… for those guys from Cabinda to act like it’s such a big deal, could it be… that Williams family?”
His friend didn’t shoot it down. His eyes went wide as he added, “I heard someone say she works at NextGen Technologies. What if it’s really…?”
Trying to stay cool, they hid their shock and started texting their contacts, hoping someone could dig up the truth. But there just wasn’t much public info on Audrey Williams, and it looked like finding out more would take some time.
Meanwhile, the Carter family was the calmest in the room. They’d heard the gossip, sure, but Barrie just had a doubtful look on his face. He didn’t buy it, at least not yet. He seemed more interested in proving that Audrey’s so-called connections were just her riding on the coattails of those Cabinda guys.
Amy was the first to flat-out call it fake. She gritted her teeth and muttered to Iris, “There’s no way this is real. How could she have such a crazy background? If she did, she would’ve used it the first day we met! This is just another one of her tricks.”
Iris agreed deep down. She just couldn’t believe Audrey could suddenly turn out to be someone so important.
