Violeta nodded in relief.
“He is a good man. He always looks out for you. With him by your side, your brothers can worry less about you in the future.”
After reading the news, Lucinda remained silent, her expression serious despite her surprise.
Meanwhile, Florrie pouted and crossed her arms.
She remembered that Nathan didn’t even bother showing up at Lucinda’s welcome party. He hadn’t paid much attention to her back then.
Lucinda had only been at the Payne household for a few days to look after Nathan. How could he have fallen in love with her so quickly?
Florrie glanced at her watch. It was already 9:20 AM.
Her despondent mood dissipated, and she immediately felt elated once again.
“There are only ten minutes left. I’m afraid nobody will show up for the ceremony today. It looks like this ribbon-cutting event will turn into a bigger farce despite having Master Nathan’s endorsement. The Payne family may also get dragged into this because of you. It’s quite comical!”
Florrie raised her chin proudly and relished in her joy.
Violeta was so furious that she was about to reply when she heard the sound of approaching cars growing louder and louder.

The guests showed up within the final ten minutes before the scheduled start time, and Violeta immediately assisted Lucinda in entertaining them.
Florrie’s face flushed with annoyance. There were too many people in the venue all of a sudden, and the area by the entrance had become crowded.
She had been seated on the chair at the entrance but was relegated to the far corner.
She would have been swept away by the momentum of the crowd if her bodyguards had not caught her.
Everyone was too busy lavishing praise on Lucinda to pay any attention to her.
Violeta cast Florrie a cold glance.
“We have quite a lot of visitors, so Lucinda and I don’t have time to entertain you. It doesn’t feel good to be ignored, does it? Keep that foul temper of yours in check, will you? Otherwise, get out of here.”
