“Maybe they think you're beautiful, so they want to keep looking at you," Luca comforted her with a joke.

"Don't joke around. I know they're staring because of that news headline." Nina was well aware that even if the news was kept under wraps, everyone else still knew of her dark past.

Not to mention that she was still together with Percy. This banquet was the perfect time for everyone to gossip about her.

"That didn't affect your relationship with Mr. Mallory, so why does it matter what other people think?" Luca consoled.

"Thank you." Nina smiled at Luca gratefully. It was thanks to Luca's comforting words that she managed to recover from that incident so quickly.

She wanted to live for her own sake and not care about what other people thought.

Luca looked around. More people have arrived since she sat down, and most of the seats in the banquet hall were filled.

It should be another half an hour before the banquet began.

"What a splendid banquet," Nina exclaimed beside her.

"Mhmm. It's Young Master Louis' mother, after all. It's only right to have grander decorations," Luca replied.

"Did you see the necklace she was wearing?" Nina's eyes lit up as she started to gossip.

"I did. It's a very pretty set." Luca thought back to the necklace she saw Susan wear. The light reflected off it beautifully. It must have cost a fortune.

"The set was only released last month. It's limited, and there are only three sets worldwide," Nina told her. To improve herself and better match Percy, Nina fostered the habit of reading fashion magazines frequently.

Among the magazines was an article introducing the set of jewelry, and it reported how two duchesses had physically fought each other over it. She was shocked to read such a thing, so she kept in mind the design of the jewelry set.

"Only three worldwide?" Luca frowned.
