"Everyone, I have an announcement."

What kind of person was Linda?
Well, one could say that there was nothing sweet or charitable about her.
After the introductions, Mrs. Arden brought Melinda around to greet the guests.
Linda came to Gareth with a glass of wine in her hand. Mrs. Arden introduced, "Melinda, he is Mr. Wickam. Our family collaborates with him on a major project."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wickam."
Linda pretended to meet Gareth for the first time. She looked down and appeared shy, not daring to meet his gaze.
"She is… Mrs. Wickam."
Mr. Garner hesitated when she saw Elisa.
She was not sure what to say.

Yet, they showed up together in a public gathering. Moreover, she heard rumors about them. Thus, Mrs. Garner had no choice but to call Elisa 'Mrs. Wickam.'
"Good evening, Mrs. Wickam."
Linda greeted Elisa.
