Three days later, Gresham, Vera, and Hadwin’s parents reserved the entire hotel for their children’s engagement
party. Many guests attended, and most cfrom society’s upper echelon.
Hadwin’s mother, Demetria, was delighted with her future daughter-in-law as she led Trina around to show her
off to the guests. “This is my future daughter-in-law, Trina. Here's sinteresting tidbits. She's so impressive
that Professor Terry has high hopes for her.”
“Professor Terry? Who's that?” One of the noblewomen asked.
“Why, don’t you know? | wouldn't have brought him up if he were srandom professor. Professor Terry leads a
team of researchers in Ms. Bonita’s research institute.” Demetria gloated.
The crowd gasped in shock and went on to butter Trina up.
“Jeez! | can’t believe such a prestigious professor admires Trina. | must say, I'm jealous of you, Demetria! Not
only is your son capable, but he also has a keen eye for picking out a wife. What a steal.”
“I'm not as fortunate as you, Demetria. My daughter-in-law only knows to argue with me. The thing is, she’s not
nearly as capable as Trina. All she knows is to throw snide remarks with that wretched mouth of hers. Look at
Trina, though. Professor Terry of Ms. Bonita’s research institute admires her.

Bravo!”
“Should | address you as Ms. Trina?” One of the noblewomen asked.
“Trina is fine.” She said gently.
“I heard your internship is about to commence. Now that Professor Terry favors you, will your internship be in Ms.
Bonita’s research institute?”
Trina sneered inwardly and forced a smile. After all, she did not tell the Rhodes family that she had crossed the
professors in Bonita’s research institute. Simultaneously, Hadwin also did not bring it up
because he was trying to preserve his reputation.
“Um... I'm not sure about that. After all, I'm just a college student.”
“Oh. Stop being so modest. If Professor Terry favors you, then you'll surely get into the research institute.
Wouldn't you agree, Demetria?”
“Exactly! She's going to the research institute.” Demetria chuckled.
Trina bit her lip to suppress her frustration.
“There's more. Trina’s also getting into Pyralis University as one of the honor students.” Demetria continued to
praise her daughter-in-law.
“Geez. She's pretty and capable. How | wish my daughter is half as good as her.”
“Hmm, now that you mentioned it, Trina wasn’t supposed to marry your son, was she?”

Demetria turned solemn, saying, “Her elder sister is a good-for-nothing. She often skipped classes and loitered
around. She couldn't master anything she learned and is a pathological llar. Even her parents hated having her
around.”
“Is she as bad as you say? The way my daughter put itl believe Trina’s sister's nwas Bonnle got into Pyralis
University with a perfect score. Apparently, she also won the Best Scholar Award.”
“Are you serious?” It seemed sof them did not know about this.
“I'm as serious as a heart attack.” Demetria had a terrible headache whenever she heard people talking about
Bonnie.
“I heard that, too. Still, is that supposed to impress me? Bonnie grew up in the countryside. She's gruff and ill-
mannered. She doesn’t even look atwhen | talk to her. For Heaven's sake, I'm her
future mother-in-law.

“She ought to showrespect. The way | heard it, she got in a fight with someone and got arrested.”
“Sheesh! How uncivilized.”
“Bonnie’s from the countryside? The fault isn’t with her. It’s the environment she grew up in.”
Trina could barely hide her satisfaction when she heard the insults about Bonnie. The former approached Vera
and asked, “Mom, why isn’t Bonnie here yet? Is it because she’s unhappy that you have her my old dress? |
guess it's my fault.
“She fancied the dress I'm wearing now. If only | had given it to her, maybe she would've shown up today.”
“Why do you always have to be so thoughtful? The Rhodes family custom-tailored this dress for you. What
makes her think you should give it to her just because she wanted it? Who does she think she
is?”
Vera might have sounded like she was scolding Trina. However, she was speaking up for her. It made
Trina feel better about herself.
‘Hmph, you can’t win against me, Bonnie! You'll have to wear my old dress to the engagement party. After all,
I've picked out the most hideous outfit for you. You won't show up at all if you know what's best for you. You'll
only hurt yourself if you do.”
Trina was in her thoughts when she heard a commotion at the entrance. “Yowza! Who's that? She's gorgeous!”
