Chapter 560: Chapter 563: A Pheasant Enters the Phoenix Nest
A group of socialites and elegant ladies were either leaning or sitting on the sofa.
They were holding wine glasses, whispering and giggling softly.
Only Hannah Ford was left out, all by herself.
She sat alone on a separate sofa.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break into the circle of the other nine ladies.
…
Just as Emily Taylor had said.
The other nine ladies were all of the same status as herself, truly coming from top wealthy families – noble ladies and misses.
As for someone like Hannah Ford, if it wasn’t for her association with Aidan Lucas which brought her some fame,
What virtues or abilities would she have to sit on equal footing with these socialites and noble ladies?
The other nine ladies were either prodigies or wives of wealthy families.
Only Hannah Ford lacked both a noble birth and a distinguished family background.
Although the Ford family was not too bad, they paled in comparison to the families behind the nine ladies present.
As for the Scott family… they had a powerful presence indeed. But due to the relationship between Bella Scott and the Scott family, they had almost completely severed ties.
No one knew of the blood relationship between Hannah Ford and the Scott family.
As a result, the other nine guests gathered together, intentionally leaving her out.
“Heh, look over there… That girl is Miss Ford, who came in place of Mrs. Lucas this time.”
“Tsk… At first glance, she’s not fit for the stage, putting on an act of being pitiful like a delicate little flower. Who is she trying to impress with her small-mindedness?”
“That’s nothing; I just saw her and kindly asked her if she was Miss Ford. Guess what happened?”
“She stared at me without saying a word, and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears. My, she looked so pitiful… Making it look like I bullied her. By heavens, I didn’t say a single harsh word!”
“I know, I know… I asked her a question earlier, and she just covered her heart and frowned weakly. She looked exactly like you described.”
“No wonder Mr. Lucas is so taken with her. Let me tell you, men just love these kinds of games.”
A few older noble ladies gathered together, speaking up for each other, several sympathizing with Emily Taylor.
Meanwhile, a few younger ladies from wealthy families listened disdainfully on the side.
The way they looked at Hannah Ford was as if they were looking at a lowly and despicable chicken.
Heh, wasn’t that the case?
A chicken that had intruded into a group of phoenixes.
Hannah Ford sat on the other side of the sofa, feeling as if she was sitting on pins and needles, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching her.
Before she came, she was full of confidence, thinking that she would undoubtedly win the affection and admiration of everyone else in the room.
But after arriving, she discovered that things were completely different from what she had imagined.
Not to mention that the First Lady never showed up,
Those noble ladies did not comfort her and ask her what was wrong when they saw her cry, as she had thought they would.
She had it all planned out.
As long as they asked, she was going to stammer a response, telling them how Emily Taylor had interfered in her relationship with Aidan Lucas and tried to break them up.
By doing so, not only could she create public opinion and pressure for Emily Taylor,
But it would also let others know how Emily Taylor was outwardly glamorous but in reality ruthless, cold-hearted, and venomous.
However, things turned out to be completely contrary to her expectations.
Not one of those socialites or noble ladies showed her sympathy.
Even worse, they deliberately alienated her, leaving her alone and unconcerned about her well-being.
This was a blatant attempt at isolation!
