Naturally, they had all seen the news, and Sandria’s status was now anything but ordinary…
But she really was quite beautiful.
In person, she was even more stunning than in the photos.
Ashlan led Sandria around, introducing her to a few elders.
“Mr. Fowler, Mr. Holloway, this is Sandy, my sister. I hope you’ll look after her here in Eaveton.”
The two men were in their forties, clearly successful businessmen.
Their gazes were kind as they smiled and spoke.
“Ashlan, you’re too polite. We just didn’t know before, but now that we do, of course we’ll look out for Sandy.”
“That’s right, Sandy. If you ever have any problems, just come find me.”
Sandria could tell her brother was helping her build connections and introduce her to people.
She responded graciously, with a touch of playfulness.
“Then I’ll be counting on you, Mr. Fowler, Mr. Holloway. I hope you won’t find me too much trouble.”
“Hahaha, how could we?”
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
After a few pleasantries, Ashlan took her around the room, then went off to discuss business.
Sandria also gained a lot. This upper–class circle was truly different–just one round and she had already made signifi- cant progress.
She was confident that in the future, she would be able to make a fortune on her own.
Feeling a bit tired from socializing, she went to sit and rest on a sofa in the corner.
She checked her phone and chatted with Lynette about a case she was working on. Just then, a familiar voice called
out.
“Sandria, what are you doing here? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”
Sandria slowly turned her head and saw two rather annoying faces.
Courtney was dressed in a white princess gown, her makeup exquisite, looking nothing like the disheveled mess she had been yesterday.

Chapter 1
Not far away, Gaston was holding a wine glass, watching them from a distance.
Recalling how this man had stood up for Courtney last time, Sandria understood immediately.
She must have begged her dear brother, which is how she managed to get in, right?

After all, after what happened yesterday, Courtney had thoroughly offended the Schroeder family, and her status as an adopted daughter had also been exposed.
Surely no one would be so tactless as to invite someone like her to a banquet?
She raised an eyebrow, crossed her legs, and rested her fingers lightly on her chin, her posture lazy and casual.
“Oh? What do you want from me?”
Seeing her seductive demeanor, Courtney’s gaze grew colder.
Florentino was really ignoring her now. He must regret it and want to win Sandria back.
She wouldn’t allow it, absolutely not.
Courtney bit her lower lip lightly, a glint of darkness flashing in her eyes, but her tone was especially sincere.
“Sandy, I… I’m here to apologize to you. What happened yesterday was my fault. After I got home, Dad already scolded and punished me. Could you please forgive me?”
“Besides, Tino is ignoring me now. That’s already the greatest punishment for me. Could you… please stop being an- Ery?”
Sandria raised an eyebrow. “Oh, I forgive you. If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”
Courtney, who had been prepared for a long speech, was stunned.
She hadn’t expected Sandria to forgive her so easily. The words she had prepared suddenly felt stuck in her throat.
But soon, she blinked, pretended not to hear the latter part, and sat down next to Sandria as if nothing had happened.
“Sandy, it’s wonderful that you’re not mad at me anymore. People always say a fight makes for better friends. Let’s be good friends from now on. After all, since you just came back, there must be a lot you don’t know. I can help guide you. Plus, I have a few friends over there. Why don’t I introduce you? The more friends you have, the more opportu- nities you’ll get.”
