Marriage With A Evil Heart

This setup was arranged by Scarlette through the favor of Mrs. Newport’s business bureau director. Therefore, the attendees were all wives of Newport entrepreneurs.

In fact, private gatherings like this were quite common in this circle.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Rather than enhancing the camaraderie of entrepreneurs and making the Newport business community more harmonious, it was more about showing off, comparing everything – from businesses and husbands to children, cars, houses, clothing, looks, body shapes, and so on. Anything that could be compared was put on display.

This kind of event left many women outside the circle envious, all eager to squeeze into this exclusive group, as if entering this “circle” meant becoming part of Newport’s so-called upper class.

I had occasionally attended a few times before, to be honest, it was quite boring.

The women at these events had truly ugly faces, forming cliques, snubbing others, and engaging in market-like behavior. Yet, some women loved this kind of thing.

Now that I was sick, it was as if I had disappeared from this circle.

On the day of the gathering, after washing my face at the salon and getting ready, Scarlette exclaimed repeatedly, saying I looked stunning and cool to the max!

Looking at myself in the mirror, due to the makeup, my complexion appeared rosy and radiant. The light-colored, well-fitted Chanel-style suit was in line with my style. Without any jewelry, it seemed like an unbranded high fashion, extremely low-key yet exuding luxury.

Scarlette circled around me, expressing satisfaction. However, she didn’t leave and instead engaged in a conversation with the designer, saying that the key figure should be the last to appear.

The wife of the business bureau director, Hannah, was quite savvy, righteous, generous, and willing to help. She got along well with Scarlette and was a good friend, so I was confident when she organized this gathering, and I followed her commands.

Just as I was about to fall asleep on the sofa in the salon’s VIP room, Hannah sent a message to Scarlette, “It’s time to make an entrance!”

Scarlette quickly woke me up, and the two of us confidently entered the Rainbow Club.

Well, there were quite a few people inside, each looking flashy and extravagant.

Scarlette and I entered at what was probably the latest moment. When those people suddenly saw us coming in, they seemed a bit surprised. Especially Hannah, who, like an actress, exaggeratedly exclaimed upon seeing us at the entrance, “Oh my goodness, Daisy, long time no see! I thought you wouldn’t come again!”

The scene caught me a bit off guard. In reality, I wasn’t that close to her, but today, she went all out for my sake, and I genuinely appreciated it. As she hugged me, she whispered softly in my ear, “Your mother-in-law is here! Towards the window.”

I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye, and sure enough, I saw Charlotte by the window, radiating wealth and charm, chatting with some wealthy women of her age. Standing beside her was the elegant and graceful Amelia.

Robert’s mother loved such occasions, never missing a chance to attend.

Hannah released me, smiling warmly as she greeted, “How’s your health? I’ve asked several times at our gatherings, but you never showed up. Little did I know, you were sick!”

After speaking, she took a few steps back, scrutinizing me from head to toe. “Let me have a look!”

I smiled candidly, responding graciously, “I’m fine! Didn’t make it to heaven or hell!”

“Ah, you… tut-tut, after an illness, it’s like you’ve been reborn, luxurious yet understated, not losing any nobility!” Hannah praised me highly, and I was a little flattered.

“Yes, reborn!” I said sincerely.

“Well said!” Hannah immediately ordered a few glasses of wine and handed them to us. With the demeanor of a host, she invited everyone, “Come, let me introduce to you all, my good friend, Daisy! The founder of Medikit Inc, the leading medical equipment enterprise in Newport, and a role model for women. She was unwell for a while, but now she’s back. I propose a toast to celebrate Daisy’s rebirth!”

Her proposal naturally met with unanimous agreement, and everyone quickly followed suit.

As we raised our glasses, I saw my mother-in-law looking at me in shock, her eyes fixed on me. Amelia, who was by her side, visibly took two steps back, creating distance from Charlotte.
