"Well said!" Tobias Houghton raised his eyebrows mockingly, "Aren't you using me too? To be honest, I've been with you, this old woman, for quite some time now. Do you really think your beauty is so overwhelming that it makes me head over heels?"
Old woman... Of course, Alessia Quinn knew she's 34 years old, not young anymore, especially in the circle of socialites where it's rare for someone her age to be unmarried.
She's unwilling to settle for less, but those who meet her standards worry about her family background. Tobias Houghton was one of the few she set her eyes on, and he seemed satisfactory... she originally thought Tobias had some feelings for her.
But now it seems, the Houghton Family only agreed to the marriage to align with the Quinn Family, and now with Mabel Quinn in the picture, they've realized that Alessia is of no benefit to them anymore, especially with Kyle Kinston behind Mabel. Now, the Houghton Family plans to kick her to the curb.
