One afternoon later, Mrs. Wallace was hosting a tea party at the Wallace residence.
The socialite noble ladies of A City, along with many old friends, had come to support her.
The elderly ladies from various families gathered around Mrs. Wallace, sipping tea and chatting in the living room. These wealthy old ladies, who were once on par with the Wallace family's social standing, now treated Mrs. Wallace as the center of attention.
The younger socialite ladies sat on the side, accompanying them.
Everyone seemed to revolve around Mrs. Wallace.
Enjoying the admiration and flattery of others, Mrs. Wallace's wrinkled face was beaming with a smile that seemed to reach her eyes.
Even during the most prosperous times of the Wallace family, she never received such treatment.
Usually, the elderly ladies she socialized with were all somewhat aloof and self-important, each believing their own family held a more exalted status.
