Victoria hurriedly took a step back, flustered. “I can’t drink,” she said, her voice trembling.

A sharp, mocking laugh came from the crowd. “What, pretending to be high and mighty?

You’re neither Mrs. Hill nor willing to help Mr. Hill out, so what are you even doing here?”

Victoria’s face alternated between white and red in embarrassment.

Nathan stepped forward, coming to her defense. “My wife had an urgent matter and couldn’t make it, so she asked her Sis to come in her place. Her Sis isn’t feeling well and can’t drink. Apologies for the confusion.”

“Oh, I see,” Victoria let out a relieved breath.

But just then, the same voice that had mocked her earlier persisted. “Mr. Hill, is Mrs. Hill really unable to attend?”

Nathan’s expression hardened as he shot a cold glance at the person asking. “What do you mean? Don’t I know my wife’s situation better than anyone?”

“Mrs. Hill was in high spirits today, picking out a dress at my boutique. She was clearly looking forward to tonight’s event. Mr. Hill, you suddenly switched people. Aren’t you worried Mrs. Hill
