Joan Wellington had just come downstairs when she saw Zara Lucas surrounded by people.
She examined Zara.
Overdone makeup, a dress that revealed more than half of her body.
Head to toe, aside from the emerald necklace on her chest that seemed decent, the rest of her outfit exhibited poor taste.
Hearing the people’s compliments, Joan frowned.
When did the Lucas family get a lady with such low standards?
Joan Wellington had been studying abroad for years and seldom appeared in the upper-class circle of A City.
Thus, even when the eldest daughter of the Wellington family appeared among the people, no one took notice.
The others continued to flatter Zara Lucas.
In the midst of the flattery, the topic shifted to Austin Lucas.
“Zara…you’re so beautiful, and your brother is so handsome. Your family’s genes are truly great.”
Zara Lucas heard the praise, and feigned a modest laugh.
“Oh, not at all, I’m just average. If you have seen my brother, you would know what handsomeness is! These days, my mother has been very busy, that’s why she couldn’t attend the banquet tonight and 1 had to come by myself.”
“Oh, what is your mother busy with?”
Others had long been curious about Austin Lucas and immediately picked up on Zara’s mention.
“Isn’t she busy arranging a match-making for my brother? My brother’s qualities… you all know, there are too many girls wanting to marry him, she cannot even handle the process.”
Zara’s words were utterly disrespectful.
Even the families hoping for a marital alliance with the Lucas family wouldn’t be much inferior to Austin Lucas’ family.
Her use of the word “pick” to describe these girls made it seem as if selecting goods, it was really impolite.
Joan Wellington, standing behind the group of people, felt more dissatisfaction towards Zara after hearing these words.
What kind of Lucas family lady is this, she is simply bringing disgrace to the Lucas family!
“Zara, does your mother have any particular family in mind? What type does your brother prefer?”
Despite Zara’s words, stirring up dissatisfaction among some.
There were still those in the crowd who were eager to get into the Lucas family.
“She does have some ideas… Unfortunately, it seems that my brother doesn’t like any of them.” Zara sighed.
She and Michelle Carter have been worrying about this issue recently.
“He doesn’t have anyone he likes? Why?”
“Well, that…” Zara hesitated.
Of course, she couldn’t tell them that her brother has a mistress, a female star, who is pregnant, and therefore, he cannot announce an alliance with other wealthy families at this time.
“Ah, it’s all because of that flirty woman from the Gray family! My brother’s ex-wife…Lily Gray. It’s all her fault. If it weren’t for her infidelity, which broke my brother’s heart, causing him to lose faith in marriage… he wouldn’t be unwilling to get married…”
Zara’s sighs earned the agreement of the socialite ladies around her.
The image of Austin Lucas as a man of deep affections instantly took root in everyone’s heart.
Those ladies who originally had some opinions about Austin Lucas due to Zara, now started to feel sympathy for him.
“So that’s what happened, Miss Gray was really too much… Austin Lucas is such a good man, she didn’t even know how to cherish him.”
“Yes, I heard she is being kept by a man now, there is no difference between the recent scandals that occurred in the Gray family and running a brothel.”
“Humph, as the saying goes, ‘a bad beam supports a crooked house’, she is doing those unspeakable things herself and even forces the female stars of her own company to do the same.”
“That’s nothing, I even heard that… a while ago she was kept by Mr.. Lucas!”
