Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 996

With a polite smile gracing her features, Loraine greeted each one in turn.

Each person gazed at Loraine with intrigue.

Most of the young ladies were familiar with Loraine's tale, a mix of admiration and envy evident in their eyes.

The wealthy ladies, especially those with eligible sons, showed much enthusiasm. It seemed they were hoping for an impromptu matchmaking session.

They had been well aware of Loraine's reputation for some time, but hesitated to befriend her due to certain reservations. However, with the rapid success of Universe Group and Loraine's prominent position as its female president and the designated successor of the Torres family, she naturally garnered widespread popularity.

Every affluent family in Vagow wished to forge alliances with the

Torres family through marriage.

Terror gripped Loraine.

It was as though she were a rare gem, sought after by these enthusiastic women.

A lady offered her son's business card warmly, suggesting the younger generation should interact more.

Another lady kindly presented Loraine with her son's business card, suggesting that the young individuals should get acquainted and further their mutual understanding.

Not too long ago, these aristocrats would turn up their noses at her and deliberately avoid her.

Understanding the cause of their sudden shift in demeanor, Loraine was tempted to scoff.

No matter how grand and poised these ladies appeared, their self-interest mirrored that of middle-aged women bargaining in a local farmers market. Observing Loraine being surrounded by others, engaging in social interactions, Florence couldn't help but feel a sense of discontentment.

Her intention was to flaunt her association with Loraine, not to watch others steal the spotlight.

Moreover, she dreamed of Loraine becoming her daughter-in-law. Nobody else should even dare approach Loraine.

Clearing her throat lightly, Florence brushed aside the crowd around

Loraine, affectionately held her hands, and said with a smile,

"Loraine, I hope these ladies haven't frightened you. Truly, they are all kind-hearted. You and Grady will need their support in the future."

Several ladies exchanged glances, a sense of surprise reflected in their eyes.

Why did Florence's words make it seem Like Loraine was already dating her son?

However, the fact that Loraine had agreed to attend the Cruz family's banquet suggested a close connection with Grady.
