They didn't think the opportunity they had been waiting for would come this night. Clara looked at Claudia who was the same age as her daughter. Being a woman who valued appearance, she liked Claudia very much.

"Cece... Can I call you Cece?"

Claudia nodded with a smile.

"Of course, Mrs. Santiago." She knew that Clara only meant well.

"Perfect! Since you saved Zaria, Hans and I have longed to meet you and thank you. I'm so glad that we finally have the chance to do that. Cece, thank you so much for saving our daughter five years ago."

Clara seemed so sincere as she spoke.

"It was nothing, Mrs. Santiago. Honestly, I think it is very kind of you to still have me in mind after all this time. I think any other person would have done the same thing I did," Claudia humbly said.

Hans shook his head and said, "Zaria told us that the tide was so fierce that night. You must have risked your life to save her. Not everyone would have attempted doing that."

Hans was not as excited as Clara, but he sure was sincere.

“I'm a good swimmer and I was lucky to have my motorboat with me. So it wasn't that dangerous."

"In any case, we are grateful for what you did. If you ever need any help in the future, just let us know."

"I'm really flattered, Mr. Santiago. But Zaria hasn't stopped expressing her gratitude since she knew it was me. It is more than enough."

She had never thought of asking for anything after saving Zaria. That wasn't what she wanted.

They weren't speaking loudly, but when people saw how polite Hans and Clara were being to Claudia, they looked on with mixed feelings.

Who on earth was this Claudia?

Right after she was abandoned at her wedding, she married Bennett.

And now, the Santiago family liked her.

With the powerful people she now had behind her, no one would have the guts to upset her, no matter how she acted.

ALL the guests looked at her with envy.

She sure had a lot of luck.

Only after meeting Zaria's parents today did Claudia truly understand the generosity she saw in Zaria.

Once Hans excused himself to talk with a friend, only Clara, Zaria, and Claudia remained.

Claudia had assumed Hans' departure would pause the introductions, but as he left, Clara sighed in relief, saying, "Finally, he's gone.

As an old man, he had really affected us just now!"
