Chapter 754

Mrs. Wright quickly realized the situation and smiled. "Please, come inside. Brayden, escort the old Mr. Bennett.”

Brayden promptly led them inside.

Tiana, with teary eyes, approached Mrs. Wright and took her hand. "So many years have passed... we've all grown old."

The two former close friends stood there, feeling as if they had traveled through the ocean of time. Mrs. Wright was filled with emotion. "Tiana, I don't know if it's because I've grown old, but I have a feeling I've forgotten someone very important. I just can't seem to remember."

"Did we have another one as our close friend?" Mrs. Wright pondered. Tiana initially thought of mentioning that they also had a friend named Monica, but she sensed that something was amiss in Mrs. Wright's demeanor. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she didn't dare to speak carelessly.

Instead, she didn't bring up Monica and merely smiled, saying, "You were always in Larro, and I was in Urgford. Our lives took us in different directions. If it weren't for our children gathering in Urgford, it would be rare for us to meet as old friends."

As the two friends chatted excitedly, Paula and Alondra, who were about the same age, didn't share their enthusiasm. Normally, in Urgford, the two sisters enjoyed considerable prestige. Paula was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bennett family, and Alondra was a renowned medical professor. They were usually treated with respect by many.

However, today, their faces had been slapped by the old Mr. Bennett. "Sister, maybe... let's just go inside," Alondra suggested. She was not keen on standing there any longer. Originally, as Katie's two aunts, it was expected for them to welcome guests. But after being slapped in the face by the old Mr. Bennett, they felt too embarrassed to continue standing there. Their faces felt hot and stinging.

It was not surprising that they preferred Katie than Lukas. Lukas was from Katie's father's previous marriage, and that marriage had long ended in divorce.

The current Mrs. Mcguire was quite remarkable. She was very smooth in her dealings, polite and skilled at socializing. She was constantly sending all kinds of high-end fashion, season's show invitations, and various pieces of fine jewelry.

The two sisters had their own reasons for favoring Katie since their mother was so adept at winning people over.

Just as Alondra spoke, they saw a familiar figure entering the scene. Aviana and her niece, Isla, walked into the hall.

Aviana was dressed in professional attire, and Isla remained stunning as ever.

It was well-known that the Saunders family had been thriving. Aviana held a high position at Crown Techs Group, and her niece, Isla, was a team leader at MI6.

Aviana and Isla approached Mrs. Wright politely and presented a large gift.

"Mrs. Wright, congratulations to you. It's not easy to clear Mr. Wright's name. It's worth celebrating," Aviana said, delivering a compliment with the right amount of politeness.

Isla, looking stunning, smiled and said, "Mrs. Wright, congratulations." Mrs. Wright hadn't expected the Saunders family to attend, and she wasn't familiar with this mother and niece pair at all. While she managed a polite smile, it didn't come across as very natural.

On the other hand, Tiana had met this pair at some social gatherings and banquets. She greeted them warmly, saying, "Aviana and Isla, it's been a while."
