Chapter 206: I Am Poor

She had been wandering outside for more than a decade, leaving at a young age and returning only after growing up. Recently, her grandfather had found someone to teach her about etiquette at the dining table of high society families. However, Emelia hadn’t fully absorbed it yet, as evidenced by the noise she made while cutting steak on her plate.

Feeling everyone’s eyes on her, she quickly turned red and stuttered an explanation, “Gra… grandfather, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have… I’ll learn properly.”

“Good girl, it’s okay,” old Mr. Foley patted her head and encouraged her.

Perhaps wanting to repay Emelia for speaking up for her earlier, Abbie now spoke in a gentle tone to ease the awkwardness.

“It’s alright. You’ll get better with practice. I remember Miss Lawrence stabbed the whole steak before but now she’s very familiar with using knife and fork.”

Hearing this comment sparked a round of mocking laughter from those around them as they whispered about the stunningly beautiful woman. “My goodness! She’s supposed to be an heiress from a third-rate company but doesn’t even know how to use cutlery!”

“I heard that her mother was mentally ill and died during childbirth while her stepmother is hypocritical and doesn’t like her much, so maybe no one taught her.”

“No wonder nobody likes her! Cheyenne is ruthless; haven’t you heard that she kicked out even own father from her villa?”

“Are you serious?”

“I’ve heard about this too.”

Abbie “belatedly” realized that she had offended Cheyenne. Without thinking too much, she quickly apologized, “Miss Lawrence, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean anything bad; I just wanted to comfort Emelia.”
