Chapter 84 

Catherine gave her a sidelong glance and murmured, “She is wearing last year’s style from Chanel, and it’s a bit dowdy. She is wearing this one for this occasion to show her pride 

I snorted, “Reputation and dignity are earned by her own, not supported by the clothes.” 

Catherine praised me for what I said. 

I teased, “Jaylan needs to update her wardrobe!” 

Catherine rolled her eyes and said, “Nowadays, mistresses are really bold, and they dare to show up for such a grand occasion.” 

I nudged Catherine with my elbow, “I’m here to catch up with old friends, so stop being mad and smile at me.” 

Catherine showed me a brilliant smile, although she muttered with disdain soon, “If I wasn’t thinking of you, I’d give her a hard time.” 

I smiled, adopting a polite look, and began mingling with Gevena, greeting a few people. 

I heard a lot of people talking about me and they said, “Isn’t that Mrs. Dawson from Medsafe Liyah Inc.? Why does she look so weak?” 

The speaker was probably a newcomer. Obviously, she’d seen me before. 

“Didn’t you hear Gevena saying she’s been ill?” 

“I heard she was sent abroad for treatment.” The person lowered her voice to a whisper, “I heard she almost died. But here she is. 

“Don’t talk nonsense. Isn’t she just fine?” 

Another woman retorted in a hushed tone, “Her mother–in–law said so. She claimed she was on her deathbed a few months ago.” 

“Keep your voice down. Her mother–in–law is here too.” a chubby woman reminded the whisperer, “We can’t afford to offend them. Mrs. Dawson is the founder of Medsafe Liyah Inc. She’s very close to the commissioner’s wife.” 

“She seems rather low–key and quite modest.” 

“She’s not modest. Her outfit may not have a label, but it’s not cheap.” 

A woman in a silver Chanel dress approached and asked, “Which one is her mother–in–law?” 

“There! The plump woman dressed up in dark green, covered in jewels.” Someone pointed out, “They’re totally different” 

A tall, skinny woman said, “Isn’t that her daughter–in–law next to her? I heard her say so.” 

“You need to pay more attention. Mrs. Dawson is her daughter–in–law. Don’t mix them up.” 

The skinny woman was embarrassed to say, “Maybe I heard wrong.”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Catherine and I looked at each other and smiled. As Gevena was chatting with a few ladies, we found a quiet corner to sit down. 

As soon as we sat down, Mrs. Bradlee from Elixir Pharma Limited dragged Marissa over, who seemed rather reluctant 

“Aaliyah, it’s so good to see you again, and your return is truly a miracle.” Mrs. Bradlee gushed, “I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you for so long” 

Mrs. Bradlee was Irving Bradlee’s wife, a classic case of a mistress being a hostess. Hence, she was always trying to remind everyone that she was the current hostess of Elixir Pharma Limited. 

She flashed a sycophantic smile and introduced Marissa, “This is my good friend, Marissa, a full–time housewife. She’s good at cooking and we live in the same neighborhood” 

I glanced at Marissa, who was also looking at me, and we shared a smile. 

Internally, I scoffed Birds of a feather, these two 

Marissa corrected Mrs. Bradlee, “Mrs. Bradlee, we know each other. She’s my senior” 

She said I was her senior. That was ridiculous 

Mrs Bradlee looked surprised. “You two know each other?” 

I confirmed, without mentioning how we knew each other, “Yes, we’ve known each other for many years” 

Manssa, feigning sincerity, said, “Aaliyah, it’s so good to see you here I was thinking of asking you out sometime” 

I smiled warmly, thinking to myself. “Why meet alone when we can meet here? But I said. “Yes It’s a great occasion to catch u 

“It’s a surprise to bump into you here I’ve attended this event a few times but never saw you she implied that she was a part of this on cle long ago 

“Yes, we havent seen each other for years I don’t even know when you quit your job get married and have a chad it teels like a lifetime ago When i saw these old friends just now. I found everything change lamented dramatically 

“Aaliyah, you haven’t changed at all Apart from losing some weight, you’re still as stuwing as ever” Marissa began to flatter me with her silver tongue
