Nana Breezent laughed and replied, “Of course it’s delicious.
The master chef of Oncoe Building made it himself, it’s hard to taste even if you have the money.
Thanks to Madam’s goodwill, I was able to fulfill my appetite today.”
Madam Dankworth spoke up: “Oddette, come here.”
Oddette obediently returned to Madam Dankworth’s side.
Madam Dankworth shot a glare at Larisa Dankworth who clenched her teeth, suddenly covered her belly with a suppressed expression, turning to the maid standing nearby, “I’m not feeling well, could you take me to the restroom?”
The maid led her away.
As they pulled open the curtain, they bumped into Catherine Liam. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Larisa instantly backed away.
Catherine cast a glance at her and smiled as she stepped in.
...
Larisa exhaled secretly and lifted her head to meet a pair of tender and smiling eyes.
Larisa was startled and soon recognized the person’s identity, timidly calling out, “Ms…
Miss Aria.”
The other gave a slight smile and nodded.
The elegant comportment made her comfortably brushed by Larisa.
Larisa instinctively looked back at the slender figure disappearing behind the curtain.
The only grandchild of the Aria family, born with the advantage to be willful.
Such life couldn’t have many troubles, could it?
A few feelings of inferiority arose inside Larisa.
Recalling Madam Dankworth’s words, she bit her lip, lowered her head, and left.
Catherine Liam giggled and said, “Madam Dankworth, I’m so sorry for having kept you waiting.
The girl just now, she’s your eldest daughter right?
She’s beautiful, and quite resembles young Madam Dankworth.”
Madam Dankworth responded with an insincere smile, “My daughter is unbounded, and embarrassed me in front of you, Madam.
As for Miss Aria, she resembles Madam Aria of those years.
Truly, an excellent tree produces fine fruits.”
Everyone knows Matthew Aria isn’t Madam Aria’s biological son.
Having a lucky destiny, he was adopted by Madam Aria.
This Catherine Liam, an upstart from a minor house, she better behave well before putting on airs.
Madam Dankworth wouldn’t mind dishing out sarcastic remarks.
The real mistress of the Aria family hasn’t married into the family yet.
When the time comes, Catherine Liam would have reasons to cry.
Although Catherine felt upset after hearing that, she was smart enough not to show it on her face.
Nana Breezent watched the verbal battle between the two women quietly.
Deep down, Catherine is low-bred and hasn’t changed her petty-mindedness even after more than a decade of wealth.
Her biting sarcasm would offend people inadvertently.
Today, there would be a lot of high-ranking and influential ladies present.
The scene would be even livelier.
It would be very good if Vanessa was here.
She would have been able to deal with these high-ranking women much better than Catherine.
Madam Dankworth quietly sipped her tea, gaining an upper hand with a small smile at the corner of her mouth.
She hoped that the girl wouldn’t let her down.
Staring at the plum blossoms in the courtyard, Larisa exclaimed, “It’s so beautiful.”
This was her first visit to the Aria family.
She hadn’t expected the Aria family to have such a large Quadrangle Courtyard in the city center.
It wasn’t just about wealth anymore, it had become a symbol of status.
Simply walking from east to west took a while.
The restroom was behind the west wing room.
Next to the west wing room, there was an arched moon gate with a two-story tower in the back courtyard barely visible in the snow.
They received guests in the front hall while the host family resided in the back courtyard.
“Miss Dankworth, the restroom is here,” the maid prompted.
Quickly withdrawing her gaze, Larisa apologized and hurriedly lowered her head and went in.
“Miss Dankworth, the layout here is quite complicated, and you could easily get lost.
Please don’t run around by yourself.”
Larisa replied in an even voice, “Thank you, I understand.”
As time passed, more and more guests arrived.
Kardian Lopez and Esther among others from the Lopez family, Caleb White, Brenda Lopez and Isaac White along with Madam and Stella White from the Whites.
The living room was buzzing with people and the atmosphere was heating up.
Violetta Gartia and Georgia Kiley encountered each other at the entrance.
Georgia raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Professor Gartia?
I was deeply impressed by the random bead you gave away last time.
Such a rare treasure, have you found the person you were looking for?”
The man towered tall and upright, with snowflakes brushing his eyebrows, intensifying the icy feel in his serene eyes.
“Found her.”
“Oh?
Congratulations, Professor Gartia.”
The two walked into the main hall shoulder to shoulder, while Georgia smilingly asked, “Madam Senior, have you been well recently?”
Madam Aria laughed cheerously, “It’s Georgia, come here.”
Georgia went up to her and Madam Aria held her hand, feeling a few hard calluses in the center of her palm.
