“Wow! That’s the heiress of the Lewis family. She’s gorgeous, and she has such a great figure! She must be the object of everyone’s envy here!”

“Exactly! Her gown is so chic! I wonder which designer made that haute couture gown. It looks amazing on her!”

“Benjamin must be blind! How could he cast aside such a gorgeous woman to fool around with someone like Yvonne? He must be dying with regret now
