“Don’t worry, bro! Leave it to us with Ms. Rehbein, we’ll make sure she’s grinning from ear to ear!”
I watched Quinn enter the house, and then she pulled Andrea to sit on the wicker chair in the pavilion.
A few cousins surrounded Andrea, talking about how Quinn dominated in high school debate competitions, leaving opponents speechless.
Suddenly, a soft female voice interrupted.
“Andrea was so lucky, she had Quinn as her sweet fiance, and a brother who doted on her.”
Andrea looked slightly surprised.
The girl stood in the shadow and never said a word.
Andrea quietly checked out the other person, a light purple dress with
lilies embroidered on it, she seemed like a very gentle girl.
Quinn… was called something different from everyone else.
Her ending notes lingered, like a thorn dipped in honey.
“Yeah, my brother really took care of me.”
Andrea responded calmly.
“I heard you guys aren’t related by blood?”
Gracelyn Copeland tilted her head and chuckled, her tone somewhat

“But this actually makes people envy you more. Not even relatives, yet they treat you so well. It shows that they truly like you.”
Andrea squinted slightly, not saying a word.
“At the engagement party, your brother was staring at Quinn hugging your waist, netizens went crazy, saying it’s some kind of ‘taboo aesthetics‘… Andrea, do you know about this?”
The pavilion suddenly quieted down, with only crickets chirping in the
corner.
Andrea felt her throat tighten up.
“We’re just siblings, those online are taken out of context.”
“Andrea, why are you so nervous?“.
Gracelyn blinked innocently, “I was just kidding.”
“That’s enough!”
Claudia suddenly stood up.
“Gracelyn, everyone was here to welcome Ms. Rehbein, don’t be so sarcastic!”
She turned around and hugged Andrea, her warm palm touching through the fabric.
“Ms. Rehbein, just ignore her. Some people just can’t stand to see others doing well!”
“Claudia was being really harsh with her words.”
There was another girl wearing a beige dress, who looked a bit like

Trinity Shillingford was casually flipping through her phone.
“Those videos online aren’t made up out of thin air, the way Roderick looked at Andrea, anyone who saw it would think it was unusual, right?”
She deliberately dragged out the ending sound, “Besides, Gracelyn was just asking out of curiosity,” Andrea’s anxious defense only made her seem…
“Trinity, are you a Shillingford or a Copeland?!“.
Claudia had a look of annoyance on her face.
Trinity snorted lightly, refusing to back down.
“It doesn’t matter what my last name is, I’m just stating the facts.”
Gracelyn’s eyes flickered slightly, her tone gentle.
“Don’t be mad, I’m just jealous that Andrea has so many people caring for her.“.
“When is it outsiders‘ turn to meddle in the Shillingford family’s business?”
Claudia sneered.
“If you have so much free time, why not focus on yourself instead of hanging around at other people’s houses? Don’t think that we don’t know what you’re up to!”
Gracelyn’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
“Claudia, why are you picking on me like this? I just spoke the truth

for a couple of sentences, and then I was called ‘stuck in the Shillingford family‘…‘
She turned to Andrea, with tears still lingering on her eyelashes.
“Andrea, if I said something wrong, don’t take it to heart.”
Andrea furrowed her brow, she hated all this office politics.
She smiled without showing any teeth.

“No worries, you guys keep talking, I’ll go check if Quinn has finished showering.”
She said and then got up and left.
Quinn’s yard was huge, Andrea didn’t know where the master bedroom was, so she wandered around inside.
