The socialites chimed in, "Mrs. Henderson's eldest daughter is also at First Academy? Impressive!"
"I heard that it is very competitive to get accepted into First Academy!"
"Both of Mrs. Henderson's daughters are studying there. She must put a lot of effort into their education."
"Oh, it's just that they're hardworking; I don't manage their studies much," Diana said with a light laugh, her eyes crinkled with the effort.
To break into the aristocrats, Diana spent most of her time mingling with people from backgrounds similar to or higher than the Henderson family's.
She had grown used to being excluded while keeping a smile on her face, especially due to Yolanda, who had endured endless ridicule from those wealthy ladies.
But today was different. Some attendees needed orders from Henderson Group for their family businesses, while others had previously sought Harold's help. The remaining guests couldn't compare to the Hendersons' background, which made Diana the star of the event—and put her in the spotlight.
Experiencing such treatment was rare for Diana.
Surrounded by admirers, she entered the banquet hall and stood in a prominent spot. She held a champagne glass and chatted with a few ladies nearby, all while waiting for others to approach her.
Yolanda found this shallow flattery uninteresting. Knowing that the ladies were being insincere made listening to them feel like a waste of time.
She glanced at Diana, who was being fawned over, and figured she wouldn't notice her absence for a while. So, she headed to the buffet area for some food.
Although today's attendees were mostly middle-class, the buffet spread was quite lavish.
Yolanda picked up some seafood, grabbed a plate of snacks, and poured herself a glass of juice before making her way to a couch in the corner.
