Chapter 255

The banquet hall was buzzing with people, a lively mix of leading scholars, hospital directors, and the entire Nebula Tech board.

Charlotte stepped out into the corridor just as Tricia and two blond women from her team approached from the other direction.

Tricia’s expression flickered when she saw Charlotte, but she quickly forced a smile. “So you really are in Riverspire City?”

Charlotte didn’t answer.

Tricia replied in French, “Her? She’s nobody important. Just another woman trying to use a man to get into this circle.”

“What? Is she really that low-rent?”

The other blonde laughed, “She can’t understand what we’re saying, right?”

Tricia flashed Charlotte a saccharine smile. “Of course she-”

Charlotte cut her off, her voice calm but clear. “Why are a bunch of Vandalians showing off their French in our own country? Did a couple years abroad suddenly make you all think you’re so sophisticated?” She looked Tricia up and down. “If we’re talking about who’s using men to get ahead, I think Miss Winthrop might know more about that than I do.”
