The President's Darling Chapter 149
"Oh, we're just going to enjoy some tea and talk to each other. Well-known women will show up at the tea party. It's organized by the four major prestigious families."Caroline continued to ask impatiently, "Why do you ask? You sound like you don't want to go. Is it because you don't want to keep an old lady like me company?""No, no, how would I dare to do that?""Then, you should join me. Remember to dress up well. Don't embarrass me." Caroline made the decision for Summer before the latter could agree. It was like she was forcing Summer.After that, Luca led Summer to an opulent room on the first floor of the Quigley residence. About four stylists were waiting there. They were probably there to style Summer's hair.A woman with straight hair dressed in a long, fashionable floral dress walked over to welcome Summer. "You must be Madam Summer. We're here to dress you up as per Madam Caroline's instructions.""Dress me up… Yeah, I know." Summer took her seat. She watched as t

Summer got a little worried when she saw Lexi so shocked. Her outfit was way different from her usual appearance, and she didn't know if she looked good or not. She asked, "Lexi, do you think my outfit suits me?""It suits you! Of course, it suits you. Mrs. Quigley, you're pretty to begin with. With this outfit, you look even prettier than those celebrities now." Lexi paused and raised her brow as if she thought of something.She took out her phone and snapped a photo of Summer. She said, "I'm going to send a picture of you to Mr. Quigley. He'll be very happy to see this.""No, don't!"Summer wasn't sure if the icy James would laugh at her for being pretentious and dressing up like this. She stepped forward, wanting to snatch the phone from Lexi and delete the photo.But she was no match for Lexi. Lexi stepped back and quickly dodged. Then, she tapped the send button immediately after. The photo was sent to James.Summer looked at the sent timestamp and felt a sense of resign

There were already plenty of women seated when they arrived. Everyone spoke in a low voice, so the venue was eerily quiet, although all of them were clearly talking.Caroline drew a lot of attention when she showed up. Many people greeted her as she walked past. It was a given since Caroline was a Quigley. She had a high status and was respected by everyone in their circle.But Caroline treated the nobodies coldly and arrogantly. She either pretended not to notice them greeting her or gave them a silent nod. Those women probably had little influence and were not worthy of Caroline's attention.There were also women whom Caroline talked to enthusiastically. When Caroline and Summer were seated, a middle-aged woman in extravagant clothes and jewelry came over to them. Caroline stood up immediately when she saw the woman, and the two hugged each other."Mrs. Walsh, long time no see.""Yes, Mrs. Quigley, it's been so long. If it weren't for the things going on in my family, I would

Caroline pointed in a direction. Looking across, Summer spotted a beautiful woman in the spacious teahouse. The woman wore a light blue lace gown as she made tea. She looked ethereal and graceful, as if she had stepped out of a painting.In Summer's eyes, the woman's good looks were just a bonus. The main thing was that she had been dismissed and could finally get away from Caroline.Summer left her seat the moment Caroline let her go. She hurried over to the beautiful woman, Eleanor Myers.As she walked, she thought about Eleanor's name. If Eleanor was a Myers, was she related to Zach Myers? In Rosseera City, everyone would think of Myers as the Myers from the four prestigious families. If Eleanor was from one of the four prestigious families, Summer had some questions for her.Before Summer could ask about Eleanor, Lexi explained, "Mrs. Quigley, it's better if you don't go to Ms. Myers.""Why?""Well… I don't know if I should tell you." Lexi hesitated as if she were in a di

"Ms. Summer—or should I say, Mrs. Quigley? Why were you running away as soon as you saw me? Don't tell me it's because I used to pursue Mr. Quigley. Is that why you want to avoid me?"As Eleanor spoke, she looked gentle and smiled. But her words shocked Summer out of her wits. How come Eleanor knew her so well?In fact, only the four major prestigious families and some powerful individuals were aware of James' marriage. Although the public was oblivious, Eleanor, who belonged to one of the prestigious families, was crystal clear about it. She had recognized Summer the moment the latter had shown up to the tea party.Since Eleanor knew her, Summer no longer tried to hide her identity. She smiled and replied, "I'm not avoiding you. I just—""Mrs. Quigley, you're probably worried that I'd be hostile and think we shouldn't talk to each other, right? Rest assured. I don't hate you," Eleanor explained. Taking Summer's hand, she led the latter to the tea table. "I know what happened

Bradly had mentioned this about Zach too. Zach must've been badly hurt by a woman. But Summer was curious. Who would dump a scion from the four major prestigious families? There must be some messy story behind it.Another thought also occurred to her. If Zach was too scared of being hurt again to date, would he remain single forever? Would he never marry and build a family?Having children was an important issue for the four major prestigious families. If the heirs didn't have children, they might face threats to their positions."Ms. Myers, think about it. It's because your cousin has been hurt before that he needs a new relationship. Otherwise, he would be trapped in the past forever and be unable to move on." Summer paused and continued, "You wouldn't wish for your cousin to stay alone forever, would you?""Of course I wouldn't.""Exactly. That's why I think we should work together. Let me introduce someone to your cousin, hmm?"Eleanor slightly turned to one side. She did

Eleanor smiled brightly at James and said, "James, it's been a long time.""Why are you here?""I'm here to see you, of course. We haven't met for so long." Eleanor quickly walked up to him as she spoke. She turned around swiftly, wanting to sit in his lap.James wasn't having any of it. He immediately dodged as Eleanor lowered her body. Thanks to his fast reflexes, she didn't manage to sit on him and instead ended up in the empty office chair.She ran her fingers through her hair. Now, she no longer looked pure and innocent, like a fairy. She was a femme fatale."Oh, James. You're still the same. Do you really hate me that much?"James didn't reply. An inexplicable look flickered in his deep eyes. No one could figure out what he was thinking. But Eleanor was used to James being like that. His mysteriousness pulled her in.She put one hand under her chin and continued, "I don't think there's anything good about your wife. Zach and the guys are really curious why you chose a woma

Eleanor knew she had no chance talking to him as equals, so she decided to just say it. "I know you want to be with her. I can help you. I have a plan to make everyone approve of your marriage."James was silent after she said that, but he didn't ask her to leave. He was willing to listen.Eleanor saw that and continued, "Among the four major prestigious families, plenty of stubborn old people are getting in the way of your marriage. You know that too."But if the Myers family gives you full support, I believe the rest won't be able to do anything to the Quigleys. That's the card that I'm putting on the table. Let's play a game.""What game?""I want to test whether Summer likes you or not."James immediately saw through Eleanor's plan. She wanted to prove that Summer didn't like him at all. She wanted to make him lose confidence in his marriage.He didn't care about playing such a game. There were plenty of well-respected seniors and shareholders among the four major prestigi
