But Zaria understood the insinuation. With a smile, she said, "Mrs. Dreskin, Claudia is not as malicious as you perceive. I believe she's suitable to be Bennett's wife."

Jolie was taken aback and lost for words at Zaria's statement.

What was happening?

The marriage between the Dreskin and Santiago families was decided three years ago. Zaria knew then that she was destined to be Bennett's wife.

But Bennett's sudden marriage to Claudia didn't seem to infuriate Zaria. Instead, she even defended Claudia.

“Zaria, have you lost your senses? Your engagement to Bennett was decided three years ago. You expressed your affection for him. Had there been no disruption, you'd be engaged by now.

Now, Claudia occupies your place. Why do you still advocate for her?" Gazing at Jolie, Zaria replied with a hint of resolve, “But Claudia is indeed a good person.”

Jolie, poised to convince Zaria, was left speechless.

What on earth was happening?

It was completely beyond her understanding

Word of the grand celebration swiftly made its way through the elite social circles of Linmarsh.

Zaria's actions left many baffled, unable to comprehend her motives. Tonight, Claudia took center stage, Looking absolutely stunning in her evening dress as she arrived at the party with Bennett. The necklace, worth over fifty million dollars, garnered considerable attention. The events between her and Zaria also became a subject of significant public interest.

Claudia found herself once again at the center of a whirlwind of speculation when a photograph of her necklace made its way onto a popular social media platform. The topic “Claudia's Marital Bliss" quickly climbed up the ranks, placing fifth on the trending search List within three hours.

After drying her hair, Claudia picked up her phone to find a barrage of messages from Aurora.

"Cece, you're trending in searches!" She sent Claudia two screenshots as proof.

"Girl, you look absolutely stunning tonight"

"Did you run into Anthony? If he caught a glimpse of you tonight, he'd be riddled with regret over the divorce. Ha-ha-ha! The thought alone is delightful!"

“Damn it! Did Bennett give you the Unparalleled as a present?" She then sent a shocked emoji.

“That necklace is worth over fifty million dollars! What did it feel like, draping such an extravagantly priced piece around your neck?"

“I've always said Bennett was one hell of a man! Marrying him was the best decision you've ever made!"

Then came her curiosity about Zaria.

“What game is your romantic rival playing? Despite all the romance novels I've read, I'm still at a loss!

Wouldn't she accuse you of pushing her into the pool? But instead, she's claiming she fell accidentally, and you rescued her! I'm suspicious of her motives. Is she actually into you instead of your husband?"

Claudia was taken aback, unaware that she had become the talk of the town yet again, until she read Aurora's messages.
