Chapter 1029 Is My Family Not Famous Enough?
The woman with the LV bag exaggeratedly exclaimed, "That's right. She became Anthony's mistress and pushed Aurora out."
Seeing Jane remain silent for a while, the woman with the LV bag asked, "You're too ashamed to speak?"
Jane shook her head and tilted it to seriously scrutinize the two women, saying,"I just think you two look familiar, but you look quite different from how I remember."
Jane asked the two women with the LV and Gucci bags respectively, "You're Madeline Stewart, and you're Alexandra Rogers. Your eyes and noses look different from before, and so do your lips. Madeline, didn't you used to have a square face? How did it become round? Others get plastic surgery, but did you two get a head transplant?"
Everyone around was suppressing their laughter.
This art exhibition required an invitation to enter. Those who could get in were either people with some achievements in the art festival or wealthy individuals. The circle was small, so many people knew each other.
Whether it was before or after the downfall of the Watkins family, Jane was always the undeniable focus.
From the moment Jane entered, many people were eyeing her, but only Alexandra Rogers and Madeline Stewart dared to confront and insult her.
Anyone with a good memory could recall that few people who insulted Jane didn't end well before.
"You!" Madeline was furious. "Yes! I indeed had medical aesthetics, but I can't compare to you, Jane Watkins, who is naturally beautiful and even better at being someone's mistress! You're such something!"
Jane wasn't angry at being called a mistress by Madeline and calmly corrected her, "Madeline, everyone who got into this art exhibition knows what medical aesthetics are. You regarded plastic surgery as medical aesthetics because you think others haven't seen it before, right? After all, medical aesthetics can't change your head."
A guy who came to the exhibition with his girlfriend curiously whispered to her, "You've had so many medical aesthetics procedures, but your nose didn't get higher."
The guy's whisper wasn't very quiet.
His girlfriend angrily hit him, "Are you saying my nose isn't high enough?"
This caused a burst of laughter around them.
Madeline turned to confront the guy, only to see he was an heir with a much higher status than her, so she swallowed her anger.
"Madeline, it's better not to talk too much with a mistress. It would degrade our level." Alexandra held back Madeline who was about to explode and gave Jane a meaningful look. "After all, Ms. Watkins is quite capable. She managed to push out Aurora, who was already engaged to Anthony and pregnant with his child. We can't afford to mess with such a woman!"
Alexandra was much smarter than Madeline. Sooner, she shifted the crowd's attention to Jane.
Jane and Anthony's affair had always been a hot topic in the circle for years.
Now, many people looked at Jane with different expressions.
During Aurora's pregnancy, Jane moving into the Clark family was an open secret in the circle. Many people took it as a joke, with women calling Jane shameless and men envying Anthony's luck. Some even secretly plotted how to have good fortune like Anthony.
"Exactly!" Madeline arrogantly lifted her chin, acting as if she didn't want to talk to someone so low, and prepared to leave with her LV bag.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. "Ms. Rogers, Ms. Stewart, is your circle too small to get the news, or are you too young to remember?"
The speaker, Carol, had shoulder-length straight hair in a brownish color. Her features weren't as delicate as Jane's, but she appeared cold elegance, exuding noble demeanor naturally.
Jane had no reaction when Alexandra and Madeline mocked her and didn't feel awkward when people looked at her meaningfully. But now, someone suddenly stood up for her, making her take notice.
Jane had seen her at the Clark family. She seemed to be called Carol.
"Who are you?" Alexandra looked Carol up and down, searching her memory but finding no one like her in the circle.
Alexandra glanced at Madeline, who also didn't recognize Carol, thinking she was a girl from an emerging wealthy family, and didn't take her seriously.
Alexandra threatened, "Watch your words. It's not easy to get into this circle. Be careful not to bring trouble to your family."
From the moment Jane entered and she encountered Alexandra and Madeline deliberately causing her trouble, she had been relaxed, not taking their words and actions seriously. If she was in a good mood, she would retort with a few words. If her mood turned bad, she would just beat them up.
But now, Jane finally felt the joy of watching a live drama.
Even if the Stewart and Rogers families combined, they would have to bow before the Cunningham family. Madeline actually dared to threaten the Cunningham family's precious daughter, Carol.
Carol, who had returned to the country less than a year ago, didn't bother with those who didn't recognize her. She only spoke about Jane's matter. "Aurora is indeed pregnant, but that child might not be Mr. Clark's. Aurora is indeed Mr. Clark's fiancée, but she might not be recognized by Mr. Clark."
The onlookers immediately recalled the backstory of this drama. No matter which family it was, encountering someone like Aurora, who was pregnant and gave birth to another man's child, would never allow her marry in.
Not only would they not let Aurora marry in, but they would also likely make the Dewar family pay for the cost because they failed to teach their daughter properly.
Jane took in everyone's reactions. Without any close friends around, she experienced a rare victory without a fight.
Carol mimicked Madeline's earlier expression and realized. "Could it be that Ms. Stewart also wants to be like Ms. Dewar, trying to become a future wife by pleasing the future mother-in-law?"
Everyone knew that Aurora became Anthony's fiancée largely because she won over Ann's favor.
"You! You reckless thing, whose family are you from? I'll make you pay!" Madeline turned red with anger.
Alexandra's face had turned pale, and she quietly tugged at Madeline's sleeve because she saw the faint Cunningham mark on Carol's cuff.
This was the Cunningham family's mark when they were out and about.
However, Alexandra's warning was too late.
Carol humbly inquired, "Is the Cunningham family, not famous enough for you to know?"
At that moment, Jane saw Madeline's expression shattered.
"The Cunningham family?" Madeline was so shocked that she almost lost her voice.
Alexandra looked as pale as a ghost, already in a state of resigned acceptance.
