?Chapter 703:
“Baylee, are you Marvin’s girlfriend?” one of the short-haired socialites asked, eyeing Baylee critically.
Before Baylee could answer, another girl chimed in, “Tilda, you’re overthinking it. Baylee isn’t the proud Miss Curtis she once was. Plus, she’s Quincy’s ex-girlfriend. How could Marvin possibly be interested in her?”
Ellie arrived just in time to hear Aphrodite’s mockingughter.
“Marvin and Quincy are cousins. So what? Kaiden and Erick are uncle and nephew, and I’m no longer the esteemed Miss Gordon. Didn’t I still marry Kaiden?” Ellie said, moving to stand by Baylee’s side, her demeanor calm and collected as she faced the group.
“Ellie, you’ve got quite the luck. Maybe others don’t realize it, but how could I miss it? You just took advantage of Demi’s marriage arrangement!” a youngdy sneered.
Before Ellie and Baylee had a chance to reply, a clear voice cut in, “Even so, that doesn’t concern you!”
“Susanna, you’re here as well!” Ellie eximed, utterly surprised. Then, she noticed the people standing behind her. “Hello, Miss Katharine Lambert, and Mr. Daniel Lambert,” she added, recognizing them.
Katharine gave those youngdies a cold look. “Since when did other people’s marriages be your concern? Didn’t your families teach you any manners?”
The youngdies, suddenly scolded by Katharine, who radiated a queenly presence, found themselves speechless, feeling small in her presence.
“Ellie… I may call you as such, right?” Katharine asked.
Ellie nodded and said, “You’re wee to call me as you please.”
“Those heels seem a bit high, don’t they?” Katharine said, eyeing Ellie’s crystal heels. “Why would Kaiden allow you to wear such high heels? They must be exhausting.”
Attendees around them couldn’t resistparing the height of Katharine’s heels with Ellie’s.

For crying out loud! Katharine’s heels were even higher!
Why didn’t Katharine worry about her heels?
“It’s fine. I only changed into them just before exiting the car. Kaiden has a pair of ts in the car for me,” Ellie said with a lightugh.
The others remained expressionless as they felt Kaiden’s love and care for Ellie once more!
Were they being mocked forcking a considerate partner? Or a partner who would think ahead to providefortable shoes?
Katharine nodded, pleased with the exnation.
Daniel thought Katharine’s exaggerated concern was somewhat absurd to outsiders and quickly shifted the conversation, saying, “Mrs. Thorpe, since you and Susanna are close, could you show her around? Miss Curtis, should you face any difficulties, don’t hesitate to let us know. We’re more than willing to assist!”
Thedies who had sided with Aphrodite and attempted to embarrass Baylee were intimidated by Daniel’s words. The Lambert family might stay out of domestic social circles, but their reputation for being fiercely protective was well known. Daniel’s statement was a clear signal of showing support for Baylee.
