In her mind, she recalled how Lorraine had talked about so many literary giants, but she didn't even mention anything about Mia. Of course, that seemed to be unreasonable if she really loved literature. Realizing this, Vivian now firmly believed Lorraine was indeed Mia. Mia was the kind of person that didn't want to boast and praise herself, and that was why she kept a low-profile for years. So it made perfect sense that Lorraine didn't talk about Mia's works at all right now, because she herself was Mia!

Furthermore, she thought that Maria tried to suck up to Lorraine just now, but the latter didn't even have anything to say to her. In the end, expensive gifts were useless. Vivian assumed that Lorraine must have determined that Maria had no literary quality, so she wouldn't even bother talking to her.

She was subtly smiling as she pondered on these speculations. Unfortunately, she wasn't aware that her thoughts were completely headed in the wrong direction.

The real reason why Lorraine behaved Like this was because she was just acting according to the customs of Mia Society.

Whenever the members of Mia Society talked about literature, they always paid great attention to the occasion at hand, especially when there were outsiders present. The members would deliberately watch their words, not analyzing or discussing Mia's works haphazardly.

Hence, Lorraine didn't talk about literature with Maria because she assumed that she was one of their kind.

The dinner set in the east wing of the Smith family was always delicate and delicious.

But because they had to consider Lorraine's diet, the dishes on the table were mainly vegetarian, which should be good for anyone's health.

All the people gathered around the table were quietly having their dinner except Ron--a meat-Lover. He was constantly complaining that the dishes were either too plain, or that they were boring because they didn't have any meat.

At the same time, Vivian started showing off her dining etiquette that would make her look Like a real upper-class Lady.

She had once attended a training course that discussed and showed a set of standard dining etiquette.

Now that her knowledge had come in handy, Vivian acted like a proud princess as she ate with grace.

“Wow, Vivian! For a moment, I thought you were some kind of royalty while you're eating." Seeing the elegant behavior of Vivian, Boden praised her, knowing that she would be glad.

With a smug smile on her face, Vivian stole a glance at Anthony, wondering how he would react. But to her disappointment, Anthony's attention was all on Maria that he didn't even notice Vivian.

Frustrated, she looked at Maria this time. Meanwhile, her sister seemed to be very focused on picking out the small bones from the fish. She was a little distressed, as if she wanted to blame the fish for having too many bones. In short, she also wasn't paying the Least attention to Vivian.

"Cousin Boden, you have excellent eyesight. I did take the trouble to learn the dining etiquette of the European royal family. It's good to learn the finer art of dining. It makes one a more cultured person. Whenever I attend a banquet before, people would praise me for my excellent table manners. They are so observant about my professional dining etiquette. It fills me with pride. It's a pity that I've never seen a noble princess in person. I have no idea if I do a good imitation of them or not!"

After saying that, Vivian broke into squeals of laughter.

Lorraine, who was sitting opposite her, looked up when she heard the squeals. First she looked at Vivian and then at Maria, who was eating quietly to one side. Lorraine fell deep in thought. There appeared to be distinct differences between these two.

“A princess? Like from a night club?"

Ron was preoccupied with his food so he did not hear Boden's earlier comments. It was characteristic of him to butt into the conversation at the drop of a hat.
