He forced a smile as he said, "Miss Heartford is very capable. I’d hate to lose her."
Someone else asked, "Why didn’t Mr. Charleston bring his wife tonight? Your wedding was so low-key … "
Damien responded vaguely, "She’s busy."
The guests wisely changed the topic. No one questioned why Victoria, who had no connection to the Charleston Family, was there. While Damien was caught up in drinking with friends, Victoria suddenly approached Amelia.
She smiled innocently and asked, "Sister-in-law … Oh, I-I mean, Amelia. I heard from my brother that you and Damien already agreed to divorce, right?"
Amelia looked at the woman pretending to be innocent and calmly replied, "Yes."
Victoria let out a relieved sigh, her smile growing more natural. "That’s good ... I thought you really liked my brother."
As soon as Victoria finished speaking, she acted as if she had said something wrong. She shook her head, waving her hands in panic.
"I-I didn’t mean anything bad! It’s just ... I’m just not used to my brother being someone’s husband … "
She lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her dress like a shy little girl.
But Amelia could see the hidden satisfaction in her eyes.
