“Maybe they think you’re beautiful, so they want to keep looking at you,” Luca comforted her with a joke.
“Don’t joke around. I know they’re staring because of that news headline.” Nina was well aware that even if the news was kept under wraps, everyone else still knew of her dark past.
Not to mention that she was still together with Percy. This banquet was the perfect time for everyone to gossip about her.
“That didn’t affect your relationship with Mr. Mallory, so why does it matter what other people think?” Luca consoled.
“Thank you.” Nina smiled at Luca gratefully. It was thanks to Luca’s comforting words that she managed to recover from that incident so quickly.
She wanted to live for her own sake and not care about what other people thought.
Luca looked around. More people have arrived since she sat down, and most of the seats in the banquet hall were filled.
It should be another half an hour before the banquet began.
“What a splendid banquet,” Nina exclaimed beside her.
“Mhmm. It’s Young Master Louis’ mother, after all. It’s only right to have grander decorations,” Luca replied.
“Did you see the necklace she was wearing?” Nina’s eyes lit up as she started to gossip.
“I did. It’s a very pretty set.” Luca thought back to the necklace she saw Susan wear. The light reflected off it beautifully. It must have cost a fortune.
“The set was only released last month. It’s limited, and there are only three sets worldwide,” Nina told her. To improve herself and better match Percy, Nina fostered the habit of reading fashion magazines frequently.
Among the magazines was an article introducing the set of jewelry, and it reported how two duchesses had physically fought each other over it. She was shocked to read such a thing, so she kept in mind the design of the jewelry set.
“Only three worldwide?” Luca frowned.
Sure, Louis was a Crawford and held shares of T Corporation. He also had his own company. However, his own company was more of a workshop than a corporation. Louis might earn more than ordinary salarymen, but he was far from being extremely wealthy.
Since Louis’ business was under his own name and not his family’s, the money he earned from his own company was about the same as the dividends he earned from T Corporation.
Where did Louis get his hands on so much money to buy this set of jewelry from someone else?
“Yeah, and this incident occurred overseas too. I think Susan put in a lot of effort just to get her hands on this set of jewelry,” Nina said. She saw a lot of wealthy housewives surrounding Susan when she arrived, so she looked over and happened to see the jewelry Susan wore.
The fact that she allowed so many people to take a closer look meant Susan was wearing the real deal.
Nina could not help but exclaim how wealthy Susan must be to spend so much money on just a jewelry set.
“Young Master Louis has many connections,” Luca replied. She had never heard Luke say anything about the jewelry, so it must have been from Louis.
“Regardless, she’s truly become the spotlight of all the wealthy housewives tonight. Thank goodness Luke’s mother isn’t here, or she might faint from anger.” Nina knew a considerable amount about infighting within the Crawford family.
After all, when Susan and Allison used to fight, her best friend Bianca was the one who ended up suffering the most. As Bianca’s good friend, it was only normal for Nina to know more about it.
Luca nodded. She was not interested in Susan’s matters, but Nina had brought Allison up.
Luca felt uncomfortable.
Susan was holding a banquet happily while Allison was undergoing treatment for her face outside the country. It was certain that any treatment was just a stopgap measure and no amount of treatment could truly fix the issue.
Meanwhile, Luke was alone and silently suffering.
