Chapter65

A flicker of unease crossed Jacob’s bright, clear eyes.

She’d noticed something.

He feigned wariness: “Mrs. Potter, my teacher says it’s rude to pry into others‘ family matters.”

Heather choked up, realizing she’d indeed overstepped.

Yet she marveled at the child’s sharpness–so young yet already wary of strangers.

“Forgive me, dear. Grandma was wrong.”

She reached to tousle Jacob’s hair.

He dodged her touch.

Heather’s hand froze mid–air.

Nearby, Willie frowned seeing his usually distant great–aunt so taken with Roy. Bitterness prickled his chest.

“Aunt, I’ll show Roy around now. We won’t disturb you further.”

Heather couldn’t detain them. “Of course. Enjoy yourselves. Find me if you need anything.”

As the boys left, her curiosity still gnawed.

Summoning her secretary, she ordered: “Investigate that child’s background. Focus on his parents.”

“Understood.”

The boy resembled Geoffrey so uncannily–a spitting image of what Sutton’s heir might look like.

“Is Geoffrey here yet?”

The secretary checked his watch. “The banquet starts in an hour. Mr. Sutton is likely en route.”

Heather nodded. When her son came, she’d make sure he paid attention to the young ladies at the banquet.

Find a woman soon and give her a bouncing baby boy.

Meanwhile.

Maureen and Katherine picked dresses before the banquet.

Neither wanted to stand out, so they chose two simple, ordinary

gowns.

Yet the plainer the dress, the more it highlighted Maureen’s dazzling beauty.

Katherine gasped: “Wow, stunning.”

“Most people need clothes to shine, but you make rags look designer.”

Maureen’s smile deepened, drawing eyes like magnets.

Truth be told, Katherine held her own.

Her beauty grew on you–less striking than Maureen’s first impression, but lovelier with every glance.

When they walked out together, their driver felt he’d witnessed art.

The car headed toward the Sutton family’s ancestral home.

Maureen remembered her last visit–five years ago already.

How time flew.

Outside the Sutton estate.

Luxury cars lined up bumper–to–bumper.

For Nicholas’s milestone birthday, every Karaville VIP attended, bringing their children along.

Katherine’s father had camped outside since dawn.

Tonight, he’d watch Katherine like a hawk, demanding she land a rich bachelor.

Katherine’s head throbbed at the sight of him.

“Reenie, guess you’ll have to find Geoffrey alone later.”

“I’ll go deal with my dad first.”

Maureen nodded. “Alright.”
