Chapter 1209
Of course, Rosalie had conducted an investigation beforehand, so she purposely brought up topics like
careers, bncing family life after marriage, and raising children to have moremon ground with
Peach.
Just then, a voice cut through the air. “Why are you talking so much? Are those words true or false?
Who are you really? Why did youe to this banquet and get close to Peach? What’s your motive?”
Rosalie turned her head and found that the source of the voice was Harriet.
Jealousy flickered in Harriet’s eyes. Rosalie’s luxurious attire obviously cost a fortune.
“They’re most likely obtained through connections!” Harriet thought to herself. She remembered this
woman; she was one of the three people who barged into Riley’s ward that day.
“Motive?” Peach and the noblewomen beside them were shocked.
“That’s right.” Harriet approached Peach.
Back then, the incident between Riley and Nichs had been buried by all three families. Although
Harriet was Riley’s sister, in the business world, there were no permanent enemies. Moreover, she was
now thedy of the Scott family, so she maintained regr social interactions with the Griffin family.
She often exchanged pleasantries with Peach at various banquets.
The moment Harriet saw Rosalie and Peach chatting, her first thought was Riley.
Rosalie must have approached Peach to find out about Riley’s affairs. The thought caused panic to
surge within Harriet.
The events of that year must not be brought up again. Otherwise, Harriet wasn’t sure what trouble
might arise.
Rosalie smiled faintly, “Oh? I wonder what motive you think I have?”
Harriet narrowed her eyes. She couldn’t mention in public that she saw Rosalie in the psychiatric
hospital. Thus, she said, “The way you’re dressed today makes you seem like a wealthy woman. But, I
don’t know your background-you don’t look like a local from Lommore. That outfit probably costs a lot
of money. If you spent so much just to attend this party, surely you have a motive. If not, why are you
here?”
Harriet’s questions were clearly meant to embarrass Rosalie.
The noblewoman who had been talking to Rosalie just now also observed the situation. Peach looked
at her with suspicion.
“I’m from Strico, and my husband is a businessman who’s also from Strico. As for this outfit, my
husband prepared it for me. I don’t know how much it costs.” Rosalie spoke the truth.
When Jonathan found out that she was going to attend the banquet, he immediately contacted high-
end luxury dressmakers and jewelry stores. in Lommore. He helped her select the gown and
essories she was wearing.
“Hmph, so your husband bought it for you?” Harriet sneered.
“Yes, so what?” Rosalie said.
“Talking big, huh? Aren’t you afraid of choking on your words? Do you even know how much that outfit
costs? Or… is it just a knock-off?” Harriet said.
At this moment, the people who had gathered around looked at Rosalie with disdain.
After all, what all these socialites and noblewomen from prominent families disliked the most were
knock-offs.
“So, turns out you’re just pretending to be someone you’re not!”
“What’s with this banquet? Can anyone attend regardless of their background?”
“This kind of person probably came here to look for an ‘opportunity’ a try to climb the socialdder.”
The people around them started gossiping. Harriet felt triumphant, waiting to see Rosalie leave in
disgrace.
Rosalie was about to speak calmly. However, before she could do so, a voice rang out. “She doesn’t
need to lie. The price of her clothes and jewelry is no problem for her!”
That voice made Rosalie’s body suddenly stiffen. The people around anned their heads, and many of

“I’ve known her for many years. She’s a very important friend of mine,” Calvin said.
With Calvin’s words, the people around them no longer doubted the authenticity of Rosalie’s attire.
After all, anyone who could be friends with Calvin must be extraordinarily wealthy.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
People began to specte about Rosalie’s identity.
Right now, the most embarrassed person was Harriet. She stared at Rosalie, who was standing next to
Calvin, unable to believe her eyes.
That woman was actually friends with Calvin!
At this moment, Rosalie didn’t need to say a word. Someone nearby spoke up for her, saying, “I told
you so. Someone like Ms. Leighton wouldn’t have any ulterior motives!”
“That’s right. Ms. Leighton’s dress and jewelry are obviously genuine. It’s just that some people can’t
recognize genuine items and think they’re knock-off.”
“Making mistakes is understandable. After all, Mrs. Scott was raised outside and has limited exposure.
If the eldest daughter of the Summer family were here, she wouldn’t make such an error.”
When the person mentioned ‘eldest daughter of the Summer family’, Harriet’s face suddenly changed.
After so many years, barely anyone mentioned that title anymore.
