As I was about to leave, I noticed Alisa and Luke walking down the hallway, deep in conversation. When Alisa suggested marriage to Luke, I had already anticipated how the evening would unfold. Back in the main hall, the energy remained vibrant and joyful.

Since the Gardners spent most of their time overseas, Sadie didn't have acquaintances here. Despite her stunning evening dress tonight, all eyes were on me, with socialites and wealthy women constantly approaching for a chat. Sadie couldn't help but feel uneasy about the contrast. Back abroad, even though she was the daughter of a mistress, everyone knew Bill's favoritism towards his two daughters, and she was always admired.

However, the Gardners didn't hold as much sway in this country. The only family that commanded real respect was the long-established Boltons.

I was personally appointed as Mrs. Bolton by Jeffrey. Of course, others tried to curry favor with me.

Several times, Sadie wanted to vent her frustration at me, but the crowd surrounding me made it impossible for her to act.

I waited patiently, knowing the perfect moment to act was approaching.

Sadie approached me on her own initiative, her tone filled with urgency.

"My bracelet is gone!" she cried out.

Hearing her distressed voice, Bill, who had been sitting beside my mother, immediately rose to his feet.

"What's all this noise about?"

Sadie, still clinging to the habits of the Gardners' circle, assumed that stirring up a scene would garner

attention.

"Dad, it's the bracelet Zoey was begging me for last time-it's gone!"

Bill furrowed his brows and said sternly. "It's just a bracelet. I'll get you another one later. Don't make a spectacle of yourself here."

Sadie's expression darkened. "Dad, that bracelet was the gift you gave me for my 18th birthday. I still remember how upset Zoey was-she nearly tried to jump off a building over it."

As if on cue, right when things were getting dull, an opportunity fell straight into her lap.
