Gina quickly smiled, not one to be put down. "We do have some influence here in Riverton. Oh, and I forgot—Helen here is partnered with the Turnbull family. Y'know, one of the top families in the capital."

"Of course." Gina quickly nodded, although she had also heard that it was a family heirloom for the Fieldens.
