Chapter 1210

Once, she had been the family’s illegitimate child for many years. It

wasn’t until Riley’s mother passed away, and her own mother successfully climbed the social ladder,

that her status as the second Miss of the

Summer family became legitimate.

Yet, even so, she was often ridiculed in high society.

It wasn’t until Riley was admitted to the psychiatric hospital that she truly gained confidence.

Harriet’s face flushed red, but she didn’t know how to retort in the moment. On hearing the words

“eldest daughter of the Summer family,” Peach furrowed her brows slightly. After all, this person

represented a scandal from the Griffin family’s past.

“It seems you have quite an eye. How about coming to my house with your husband some time and

helping me appraise the porcelain I bought recently? Is it real or fake?” Zephyr’s voice unexpectedly

cut in.

The woman who had mentioned the “eldest daughter of the Summer family” before turned slightly pale

and quickly said, “I just said it casually, Mr. Scott. Please don’t take offense.”

“Some words shouldn’t be said casually,” Zephyr said coldly.

At that moment, another voice spoke up. “Well said. Some words shouldn’t be spoken lightly. Please

explain to your wife.” It was Calvin who spoke.

Zephyr raised his eyes, his gaze freezing as he looked at Calvin.

Calvin’s response was nonchalant as he met Zephyr’s eyes. The two m confronted each other, and the

atmosphere became tense, ready to explode.

Although Zephyr hadn’t interacted with Calvin before, it didn’t mean he didn’t know about the latter’s

background. Engaging in enmity with Calvin over a few words clearly wasn’t necessary.

Zephyr first broke the icy aura around him and calmly said, “I indeed need to explain this to my wife

properly to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings on her part.”

Saying that, Zephyr looked at Rosalie. “Since my wife misspoke today,

then I’ll apologize to Ms. Leighton. Someday, I’ll host a dinner and invite Ms. Leighton and Mr. Gunner.”

Zephyr’s words were mere pleasantries.

However, Rosalie unexpectedly responded, “Sure, I’ll be waiting for Mr. Scott’s dinner invitation.”

Calvin’s eyes flickered with surprise. Rosalie was not someone who enjoyed social gatherings like this.

Unless there was some other reason behind her acceptance.

Therefore, Calvin didn’t say anything.

Zephyr acknowledged it and then left with Harriet.

Before leaving, Harriet shot a resentful glance at Rosalie.

Rosalie looked at Calvin and said, “Thank you just now. But why are you here?”

Calvin gave a faint smile. “Even without me, you would have handled it yourself. I came here because

of a project in Lommore. I flew in from overseas to attend this banquet and meet a few people.”

“Then you should focus on your work. I won’t delay your time,” Rosalie said, preparing to part ways.

However, Calvin’s hand suddenly gripped her wrist.

“Don’t…” It was almost a subconscious utterance, tinged with a hint of pleading.

Perhaps it had been too long since he had seen her, so he cherished moment spent with her, not

wanting her to leave his sight.

Rosalie’s steps halted, and Peach, witnessing the scene, furrowed her brows, seemingly lost in

thought.

Another person observing this scene from a distance was Wyatt.

Wyatt’s lips curled up, and he raised the wine glass in his hand with a sardonic smile. It seemed that

Lommore was about to become lively.

eAfter leaving the banquet, Calvin said to Rosalie, “Where are you staying wnow? I’ll take you back.”

No need.” Rosalie politely declined. “If you really accompany me back, and someone happens to
