Everyone's eyes were filled with either disdain or ridicule when they looked at the Hastings family.

Emily was fuming with jealousy, and when she turned around, she noticed Miles' gaze glued to Ophelia. It was the first time she'd ever seen Miles look at someone like that. Miles couldn't take his eyes off Ophelia, now realizing how much more stunning she was compared to Emily. She seemed to shine, completely overshadowing everyone else. Theo's eyes shifted to Owen. "You said the Hastings family has cut ties with Miss Spencer, right?"

Ophelia hadn't fully processed what was happening. She had only come to drop off a birthday gift.
