The two-level banquet hall on the ship was opulent, filled with the scent of wealth. Even the burgundy and gold patterned. carpet was custom-made, worth tens of thousands per square meter. Ophelia surveyed the banquet hall and noticed that every man was accompanied by a spouse or a date.

Her attire was quite understated compared to the luxurious dresses around her, but her appearance ensured that she wouldn't go unnoticed.

Since earlier that year, the Carnegie family had hosted a family recognition event, causing many to immediately recognize her as Theo's god-granddaughter.

Everyone who attended the recognition event knew she was Kenneth's wife, Kenneth himself had confirmed it.

Additionally, Kenneth was nothing like the rumors claimed; he was neither disabled nor close to death

The background of the Sinclair family was complex, and people were afraid that one slight misstep could erase both themselves and their families.
