Both Osborn and Nora were perceptive, so they were aware that Sara was praising Jane to make them realize that Byron not marrying her was a huge loss for the Hansen family.
In fact, Osborn and Nora did regret allowing Cora and Byron to be together, as it almost led to a tragic separation of the couple.
But despite their regrets, they didn't want to let Sara in on it lest it would boost her arrogance.
"Is that so? Jane is such an outstanding woman!"
Nora merely gave an off-handed remark.
However, Sara said, "Jane doesn't only demonstrate exceptional talent in medicine. Recently, she'll also be representing New York in the Continental Crafts Competition."
She added, "Her opponents are nothing special, just those who have been defeated by Jane in the past two years..."
In other words, the gold prize for the Continental Crafts Competition would soon be Jane's.
Yet, Nora wasn't interested in that.
Since Jane had already married Harry, her excellence no longer had anything to do with Byron or the Hansen family.
So, she quickly pretended to be tired and asked Osborn to send the guests away.
Sara hadn't finished bragging about Jane, so she felt unhappy upon being dismissed like that.
"That old lady is definitely in denial of her regrets. That's why she doesn't want to see us."
Jane held Sara's hand. "Mom, you should stop bragging about me so much in front of others. I feel embarrassed."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You are truly outstanding. You deserve all the praise in the world," Sara said.
She then had a question for Jane.
"By the way, I met Harry's mother the day before yesterday, and she made mention of the family needing an heir again. How about you start preparations for pregnancy after the competition next year?"
In her eyes, Jane was great in every way.
