Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Florence's Lie

Beatrice and Hamilton engaged in conversation, well aware of the longstanding friendship between Old North and Mike. In the past, the Pansy and North families had been powerhouses in the business industry. However, Old North had unexpectedly sold his company and retired many years ago, vanishing from the public eye. While he hadn't been in the limelight, the North family retained its esteemed reputation.

Hamilton presented the gifts Old North had sent for the Pansys, which included a world-renowned painting and the deed to a multimillion-dollar plot of land in the southern part of the city, among other things. Old North was renowned for his generous gestures.

Jane, despite her disdain for the Pansys, couldn't help but feel a pang of irritation at the lavish gifts her family had bestowed upon them. Still, she was relieved that Hamilton hadn't come to the event to expose her true identity. Her plan was to leave in three months, and if Beatrice discovered her true background, she might be prevented from going. Moreover, Patrick might treat her differently upon learning of her wealth.

As Jane lost herself in thought, one of Florence's friends inquired, "The North family is incredibly generous. Florence, didn't you meet Old North's granddaughter at a fashion show?"

"The identity of Old North's beloved granddaughter is one of the greatest mysteries today. There have been numerous speculations, but no one knows her name, let alone her appearance," added another friend.

"Indeed, I remember she gave you her contact information. She even mentioned visiting you when she's in Guavo," chimed in Florence's other friend.

"Wow, Florence, you're amazing!"

Jane raised an eyebrow and gazed at Florence with a quizzical expression. Florence, upon noticing Jane's gaze, frowned deeply and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that, Jane?"
