She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 954

Earlier, when Alistair had been hovering by her side, the other guests had cast judgmental glares her way but kept their mouths shut.

The second he left, however, she became a defenseless target for their vicious gossip.

"Hey, who is that girl?"

"Never seen her."

"Dr. Carter throws a prestigious opening gala, and she shows up dressed like an escort?"

"Exactly! It's a complete insult to the doctor's legacy."

"Wait, do you guys seriously not know who she is?"

One of the women piped up, immediately drawing the attention of the surrounding gossips.

"Who is she? Do you know her?"

"I wouldn't say I know her, but I definitely recognize the face. I know exactly who she is."

"Her? What kind of status could she possibly have?"

"Oh, don't underestimate her. That right there is the sole heiress of the infamous Bennett family from Quarevia."

"Wait, the Bennett family? Seriously?"

"But I heard their empire collapsed overnight!"

"Even a starving camel is bigger than a horse."

"If she's from old money, shouldn't she know basic etiquette? How can she show her face at a formal banquet wearing that absolute garbage?"

"No kidding! Calling it a sexy dress is the polite version. Let's be real—it's bedroom lingerie. Only women working a very specific kind of job wear that in public."

The cluster of women chuckled maliciously, nodding in fervent agreement.

"I heard that after the Bennetts went bankrupt, they clung to the Davenport Group like parasites..."

"The Davenports? The massive real estate tycoons?"

"The very same."

"Oh, I heard about this! Word is, the Bennetts are practically selling her off to Alistair Davenport to save themselves."
