"Bennett Thompson isn't some ordinary heir. He’s achieved so much at such a young age that even his parents can't control him. That little bitch Yvonne just got lucky and actually married into the Thompson family. She got pregnant soon after the wedding, and once the child is born, her position as Mrs. Thompson will be secure."
After embellishing the story, Letitia, still not satisfied, continued, "And that little bitch Yvonne, even after marrying Mr. Thompson, can't keep still. I'm sure she's still secretly stringing Mr. Taylor along. Otherwise, why would he still be single all this time? She may be my cousin, but I can't stand her. She's just a homewrecker."
Jessa didn't say anything, but her exquisitely made-up face contorted slightly with rage.
That evening, a bonfire party was scheduled on the beach.
Bennett hadn't participated in any of the Thompson Group's daytime team-building activities, so he had to at least make an appearance at night.
Yvonne changed into a cocktail dress and accompanied Bennett to the event.
The bonfire party was lively, with nearly everyone on the island in attendance.
Both Letitia and Jessa were dressed in luxury gowns with heavy makeup, looking absolutely dazzling.
In comparison, Yvonne, who was pregnant and completely makeup-free, wore a simple white cocktail dress, looking very understated. But standing among a group of heavily made-up women, Yvonne's fresh and ethereal beauty was surprisingly more eye-catching.
Bennett never left her side, like a knight protecting his princess.
As the heir to the Thompson family, his status, looks, and presence were impossible to ignore. Consequently, wherever the couple stood, they were the center of attention.
The Taylor brothers, Thomas and Dominic, were also there, though neither was with his date.
Thomas wore a perpetual scowl, and Jessa no longer dared to approach him. And while Dominic was good-natured and treated Letitia decently, Letitia knew there was no future there and didn't waste her time on him.
