Loraine, long time no see. Werent you too busy to renovate the castle? So, what brings you here today? she asked with a sneer.
We were invited by the Bryant family. Happy birthday, Mrs. Bryant.
Here is the red wine we got for you. Cayson smiled and brought out a gift box.
He meant that the gift was being presented to Liza by both Loraine and himself.
Keely acted Like she did not understand. She looked at Loraine, who was holding a parasol, and sneered.
Loraine, you came to attend Mrs.
Bryants birthday and you didnt bother to get her a gift?

Instead of pointing out that Cayson was already presenting their gift,
Loraine smiled and said, I did prepare a surprise, but this is not the time to present it. Youll know about it later.
Keely scoffed.
Surprise? What surprise could she have? She was simply just too poor to buy a gift!
In a tone that was made to sound kind and considerate, she said to
Loraine, I know youre from a poor family and dont have much money.
But this is Mrs. Bryants 70th birthday, so you should have tried your best to get her a gift. Its common courtesy, you know.

Liza had been Listening to all of this and her face had a disgusted look on it.
As far as she was concerned, Loraine was totally shameless! She had not even brought a gift. Marco divorcing her was the right thing to do!
Other guests that overheard the conversation began to mock Loraine.
Didnt she make a lot of money recently? Why couldnt she afford even a simple gift? Shes so stingy!
After all, shes from the countryside. She cant change her poor character in a year or even a century!
Shes so rude. No wonder she was divorced.
Loraine heard some of these talks, but she didnt care about them at all.
Regardless of the ridicule, she only looked up from time to time at the beams in the hall of the castle.
Marco, on his part, had all his attention on her.
