The first step was to get on Theodore's good side, and this pampered noblewoman who had never worked a day in her life was a well-known heiress in Charleston.

She was not well-known for her beauty or talents but rather for the numerous feuds she had with other noble families and royals behind the scenes.

Annabella's glamorous appearance did not match her personality at all. She was not unattractive by any means as her features were well-defined, but her malice and tendency to one-up others had earned her widespread disdain. Instead of showing remorse for her actions, Annabella became even worse.

Thus, Annabella was still primarily known for her beauty throughout Charleston. People's impressions of her were that she was a beautiful heiress, with few other negative connotations.

Theodore had heard rumors about Annabella before, but he wanted to see her for himself instead of relying solely on hearsay. He believed it was best to form judgments after getting to know someone personally. Annabella greeted politely, "Hello, I'm Annabella. I apologize for our sudden intrusion. Please forgive us."

Theodore responded respectfully, "No worries. You're our guests no matter where you come from. Please, everyone, have a seat!"
