Vera’s friend, Bianca Roffe, didn’t catch her comment. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”

Vera’s face darkened, and her mood visibly soured. “Mr. Gardner Senior has always been respectable. How is it that, at his age, he can’t control himself anymore?”

She spoke in a low voice, cautious of the people around them. The auction was crowded today, and some attendees knew Alexander. It wouldn’t do for them to overhear.

“What’s he not controlling?” Bianca asked, confused as she followed Vera’s gaze.

She spotted Alexander chatting amiably with a young woman beside him. Although she couldn’t hear their conversation, it was clear Alexander was being very friendly.

Bianca’s eyes widened as she realized what was happening–this was some juicy gossip.

“That young woman is quite something,” Bianca said, her voice tinged with disbelief. “I’ve never heard of anyone close to Mr. Gardner Senior before, and his grandson must be nearly 20 by now. She looks like she’s still in college. For someone so young to put up with this just for money, it’s impressive.”

Vera’s face twisted with disgust. “I’ve seen her before. She’s tangled up with Aiken and Rowan. She’ll endure anything to marry into a wealthy family.”
