Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 18: Orphan Whispers had quickly rippled through the crowd: Ethan had arrived accompanied by a female escort. For years, Ethan had been Solara's most sought-after bachelor-the man every woman in high society dreamed of marrying.

Known for his solitary appearances at events, the mere fact that he had brought someone along sent shockwaves through the elite social circles. Naturally, Olivia and Mia couldn't resist the urge to witness this unexpected development firsthand. Their curiosity propelled them forward, eager to see who had captured Ethan's attention. Yet, when they finally laid eyes on the woman by his side, their anticipation turned to disappointment. She was just an ordinary nobody. Ethan, uninterested in entertaining their scrutiny, remained silent and detached.

Olivia, ever the polished socialite, seized the moment to approach with a practiced smile, lifting two glasses of wine. She handed one to the woman and introduced herself smoothly. "I'm Olivia. And you are?" Lillian found the encounter quietly amusing. Accepting the glass with calm confidence, she replied plainly, "Lillian Harrington." Olivia's smile tightened slightly. "Harrington? I don't believe I've heard that name among Solara's elite families. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Which distinguished family do you hail from?" Meeting Olivia's gaze with steady eyes and a hint of dry humor, Lillian responded, "I don't come from any family-I'm an orphan." The blunt honesty stunned everyone nearby. Even Ethan, who had never pried into her background, felt an unexpected wave of sympathy stirring within him. Olivia, caught off guard by the revelation, faltered for a moment before forcing another polite smile. "Oh... I didn't expect that. My apologies, Miss Harrington.

But don't worry-if you ever need assistance navigating Solara's social scene, you can always count on me." There was an unmistakable condescension beneath her words. Olivia had anticipated a wealthy heiress, but instead found herself confronting a woman with no pedigree, no lineage-just an orphan. Mia, playing her part with saccharine sweetness, chimed in, "Exactly! We'd be delighted to help you settle in. It's always wonderful when women support one another." Lillian's lips curled into a faint, knowing smile as she replied evenly, "No need.

As the saying goes, those who walk different paths shouldn't force a connection. You're both upper-class socialites, and I'm simply an orphan." A brief silence settled over the group. Olivia's face darkened, though she fought to maintain her composure. Ungrateful brat, she thought bitterly. Mia, however, continued her performance flawlessly, eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Miss Harrington, we meant well. Why embarrass us like this? It's not as if we chose to be born into prestigious families. We just wanted to befriend you." Was such coldness really necessary?

Their words drew the attention of the surrounding guests, sparking murmurs and judgment. "She's so rude." "Seriously. Miss Olivia and Miss Mia, two of Solara's most prominent socialites, made genuine efforts to befriend her, and she just rejected them." "She must think she's better than everyone just because she knows Ethan." Lillian's smile turned wry. A brilliant performance-almost as convincing as my stepmother's, she thought. Watching the scene unfold, Ethan let out a cold, humorless laugh. "Miss Mia, aren't you supposed to be in your twenties?" Mia blinked in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Lillian's gaze sharpened, her voice cutting. "You're adults. It's time to act like it. Playing the innocent victim doesn't suit your age. I've made myself clear: we have nothing in common. You're high-society socialites, and I'm just an orphan. Do you honestly believe there's any reason for us to associate?" She paused, then added firmly, "And let me be clear-I barely know Ethan. We met once, that's it. So don't drag me into whatever scheme you have planned. I don't have the time or patience for this nonsense." With that, she turned toward Ethan. "Come on.

The auction should be starting." Without another word, she rose and walked away. As they left, the room fell into an uneasy silence. Guests exchanged knowing glances, quickly piecing together the real reason behind Olivia's interest. For Lillian, Ethan was just a name barely known; for Olivia and Mia, he was a prize to be won. Yet Ethan hadn't even spared them a second glance. How humiliating. Olivia, seething with humiliation, suddenly exploded. "Get out! Stop staring at me!" From the crowd, a sneer cut through the tension. "Who does she think she is? Throwing herself at Mr.

Ethan like that-shameful." With that, Olivia and Mia turned to leave, followed by the rest of the guests whose expressions were thick with silent mockery. One last glance was cast at the two socialites before the room emptied. Once alone, Olivia's carefully maintained composure shattered. She swept the wine glasses off the table, the sound of shattering glass echoing sharply. Gritting her teeth, she muttered through clenched jaws, "Those useless fools! Laughing at me? Looking down on me? Just wait-once I become Mrs.

Lewis, they'll regret ever crossing me." Conclusion The chapter delicately explores the stark contrasts between social status and personal identity, revealing the raw tensions beneath the polished veneer of high society. Lillian's unapologetic honesty and refusal to be diminished by her orphan status challenge the superficial judgments of Olivia and Mia, exposing their insecurities and the fragile nature of their social power.

Ethan's quiet sympathy towards Lillian hints at deeper complexities beyond the glittering facade, emphasizing themes of authenticity and resilience in a world obsessed with appearances. As the crowd disperses, the emotional undercurrents linger-Olivia's simmering humiliation and determination foreshadow the fierce battles yet to come, while Lillian's calm self-possession marks her as a quietly formidable presence.

Lillian's refusal to be drawn into the socialite games hints at a growing defiance that could unsettle the carefully balanced world around her. Ethan's subtle but unmistakable sympathy toward Lillian introduces a new emotional undercurrent that may complicate the power dynamics at play. Will his feelings remain guarded, or will they force him to confront the rigid expectations of his social circle? Meanwhile, Olivia's burning resentment and determination to claim Ethan's name suggest that the battle for influence-and perhaps for Ethan's heart-is far from over.
