Chapter 243

Molly put down the plate. She wanted to walk away. Knowing that her encounter with Abigail would be unpleasantly awkward, she wanted to avoid Abigail and her gang.

Unfortunately, Abigail spotted Molly. She picked up her skirt while sauntering toward Molly. "Hi, Ms. May," she greeted Molly with grace.

The ladies exchanged looks. They thought Molly was Abigail's friend, and since they were here to socialize on behalf of their families, they followed Molly. One of them asked, "Abigail, you know this lady?"

The ladies were checking Molly out. Molly was donned in a long black dress, revealing her fair skin over her beautiful collarbone. Despite her aloofness, they could not take their eyes off her beauty. Assuming that abundant efforts must have been invested to nurture a beauty as outstanding as Molly, the ladies thought she was an heiress from one of the prominent families.

Abigail acted as if nothing had happened. She put on a friendly façade when she introduced Molly to the ladies.
