Was Raven, the heiress of the most prominent family in The Capital, somehow less worthy than that divorcée, Caitlin?
In truth, if the Somerset family hadn't been so close with the Gonzales family back in the day, they never would have known Caitlin had been married before.
Therefore, as far as Old Mrs. Somerset was concerned, the Sylvesters had to be completely in the dark about Caitlin's past.
Her eyes narrowed with a cunning glint as she savored the thought.
After settling Old Mrs. Somerset into a chair, Flossie said gently but firmly, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to focus on making it through this crisis first."
At its current trajectory, the Somerset Group didn't have much time left.
"You should have never provoked Keira in the first place," Flossie continued gently. "Perhaps... you should go and apologize to her."
It seemed like the only viable option left.
Beyond that, Flossie couldn't think of anything else.
The only question was whether it was already too late for an apology to salvage the situation.
"Apologize to Keira Fairchild Gonzales?" Old Mrs. Somerset shot up, her voice cracking with indignation. "Absolutely not! You seem to forget, she was the one who insulted me first! She had her servants physically throw me out of the Gonzales estate!"
The mere memory of that day made her blood boil.
"The Gonzales family is only acting so high and mighty because they have the Sylvesters backing them. But the truth will always come out! Just you wait I'm going to take this... information straight to Beatrice
Would Beatrice still support Gordon's relationship with Caitlin if she knew the woman was damaged goods?
Of course not!
What mother in her right mind would want her son marrying some other man's leftovers?
When she told Beatrice, the woman would be eternally grateful. They'd become close friends and she Old Mist Somerset, would be a great benefactor to the Sylvester family.
The Sylvesters would become their new patrons, and all those companies that had dropped the Somersets to curry favor with the Gonzales family would live to regret
it.
After all, what was the Gonzales family compared to the mighty Sylvesters?
By then, it would be too late for regrets.
It would serve them right for looking down their noses at them.
A wave of smug satisfaction washed over Old Mrs. Somerset. She wished she could
fly to Beatrice that very second and spill everything.
Once she and Beatrice were bosom buddies, Keira would be green with envy.
Flossie, however, remained
skeptical. "Mother, have you
considered that Beatrice might already know Caitlin was divorced? Besides, it's not the scandal it used to be It's possible she simply doesn't care." sŵnovels
