Chapter 481 - ZiRis
The five-star Oriental hotel where the cast and crew of "Strong Yet Broken" were staying at was partly invested by Jin Liwei himself. Not as part of Jin Corporation, but as a personal investment. It was a fairly new addition to the hotel scene in this riviera.
Grandpa Lu was slotted to be one of the original investors a few years ago, but he got bored during the process at the same time that he also got bored of his Mediterranean-style villa estate in the area. So he just dumped everything on Jin Liwei, while he cruised in the Mediterranean Sea and visited the surrounding countries in his own massive luxury yacht.
It was a different yacht to "LX" which Iris and her group used earlier to transport themselves to the riviera. The "LX" yacht was a new acquisition by Jin Liwei. He bought it during the summer because he knew that his baby girl was scheduled to attend the Sommet International Film Festival in the autumn. Of course, he named it after the two of them—Liwei and Xiulan.
The cast and crew of "Strong Yet Broken"thanked the President of LX Productions for letting them stay in such a high-class, luxurious hotel. They had no idea that it was all thanks to Jin Liwei. He was actually the one financing their entire stay at the riviera for the Sommet International Film Festival.
In the less luxurious parts of the riviera, Chinese media representatives were staying at more affordable hotels and room rentals. They came to cover the Sommet International Film Festival this year. "Strong Yet Broken" was the only Chinese entry, so it was a big deal to the film industry back home.
Despite this, the general public wasn’t very interested. The news wasn’t important enough to become a trending topic back in China. It was just one of those type of news that made people say, "Oh, that’s cool," but that was it. Nobody really thought that "Strong Yet Broken" could win awards against the other foreign films starred by some of the most famous international celebrities and made by some of the most renowned directors and producers in the world who already had experienced winning awards in the Sommet International Film Festival in the past. To them, it was already an achievement that a Chinese film was shortlisted at all in such a prestigious film festival and even nominated in a few award categories, including the most sought-after main prize, the Soleil d’Or or the Golden Sun Award.
The Black Stars, however, were super excited because they found out that their Boss Iris was nominated for the Best Soundtrack Award. Most of the other nominees she was competing against were also new to the international scene like her, but there were a couple of big name composers. Whether she won or not, the Black Stars would support her all the way.
Although the major media outlets back in China weren’t giving much attention to the participation of"Strong Yet Broken" in the Sommet International Film Festival, the Black Stars were still able to get the latest updates online. Most of the Chinese reporters covering the film festival opted to publish their articles online instead where they would likely gain more attention than if they waited to be featured in traditional news.
In addition to this, Iris Long’s social media pages were also frequently updated during this period by her assistant Dominic Chua and her manager Tang Yiyi. The posts showed her journey from China to France, including her modes of transportation like the private jet, limousines and luxury yacht. Her fans thought that she either rented them herself or borrowed them from her father, or maybe they were financed by Bright Summit or endorsement sponsors.
Finally, the Chinese reporters were able to take actual photos of her at the riviera. These photos were immediately posted to the online news websites and blogs for the Chinese netizens.
The photos showed Iris Long walking along the streets in a fashionably elegant long-sleeved maxi dress with a waist tie which accentuated her hourglass figure. She was escorted by a tall and handsome man who had a long scar on his face. Despite the scar, many netizens couldn’t help but fangirl (and fangay) over him. They actually loved the scar because it gave him a dangerous vibe that made him more attractive. It was later confirmed that he was Lu Zihao, Sir Lu Jianhong’s grandson.
Now more people believed that these two were the true engaged couple. Instead of continuing to be heartbroken, a good portion of the LinRis shippers converted to become the ZiRis shippers instead. How could they resist such a gorgeous hunk? They felt that Lu Zihao was manlier than their Prince Lin Lin.
Iris Long and Lu Zihao were seen going inside a café where they met with Maestro Ludovico De Luca and Enrique Valdez. It wasn’t only the Chinese reporters who were having a field day snapping photos of the group, but the foreign reporters and paparazzi as well because Maestro De Luca and Enrique Valdez were such well-respected big names in the international music industry.
Both the maestro and Enrique Valdez were recipients of the Best Soundtrack Award at the Sommet International Film Festival in the past. This year, they weren’t involved in any of the films at all, but they still received special invitations to attend from the organizers.
The Chinese netizens were impressed by Iris Long’s connection with the two music powerhouses. Although they already knew that she was friendly with Maestro De Luca and Enrique Valdez, it was still a shock whenever they saw her interacting so naturally and so familiarly with them.
Regarding Lu Zihao, they were also very curious about him. He looked muscular yet not overly bulky. There was a gracefulness to his posture and movements, like a panther moving in its natural habitat. The Black Stars noted that his body build didn’t match the man in the photo their Boss Iris shared during her interview on Feng Jiu’s talk show.
Thus, there were people who became unsure if he really was Iris Long’s real fiancé.

Chapter 482 - Once A Social Climber, Always A Social Climber
The netizens shared their opinions about the matter.
"Lu Zihao matches Iris Long’s hint that her fiancé is a businessman. I live in the south part of the country and I know that Mr. Lu has acquired several businesses here in the town that I live in. They’re just small businesses, but he acquired a few, so he’s definitely rich."
"Oh! He also bought a couple of small businesses where I live! It was all over the local news. I was wondering who this Mr. Moneybags Lu Zihao is. So it turns out that he’s actually Iris Long’s businessman fiancé."
"It seems like this Lu Zihao specializes in small businesses. He’s certainly not as impressive as his grandfather Sir Lu Jianhong, the business genius who founded Jin Corporation with CEO Jin’s grandfather back in the day."
"So what if he’s not as impressive? He’s so hot and so manly! Boss Iris sure is lucky to catch a man like him!"
"We’re not yet sure if he’s really Boss Iris’ fiancé, you know. His body build doesn’t match the man in the photo boss shared on Feng Jiu’s talk show."
"Easy! He probably worked out a lot since then!"
The netizens continued discussing Lu Zihao until a new wave of photos and reports were published online. The photos showed Iris Long wearing a more elegant dress this time. The sun was setting in the background, so it was almost evening in France when the photos were taken. Iris was seen shopping at the designer boutiques with her mother, Wei Lan. It was only the mother and daughter this time, accompanied by a few bodyguards.
Many were surprised that Iris and her mother were acting close. It was well-known that when Iris was just a teenager, the mother and daughter didn’t have a good relationship and that they fought all the time. It seemed like the two had already repaired their relationship.
###
Back in China, it was already late at night. Sun Jingfei, Long Jinjing’s mother, was about to go to bed when her best friend sent her a website link. She clicked on it and saw the photos of Wei Lan and Iris shopping together in France.
"Hmm... Wei Lan has become more elegant. She has finally matured, I guess. Good for her. And good for Xiulan, too. At least the mother and daughter are beginning to bond like what nature intended," she murmured before finally going to sleep.
In another place, Zhu Ning, Long Jian’s mother, was once again wrecking the things inside their house. Long Jian wasn’t at home because he went for a business trip for a few days.
"Wei Lan, you bitch! How dare you act like a celebrity?! Shopping at those designer stores and posing for the paparazzi! You think you’re some kind of a big shot?! You’re nothing but a slut! A slut! A FUCKING SLUT!!!"
In the Zheng ancestral residence, Zheng Suyin, Long Hui’s mother, also saw the photos online. Her niece ran to her bedchamber even when it was already late at night just to show her the photos.
"That Wei Lan—or whatever her name—is just using Iris Long’s celebrity status to attend such a prestigious international film festival. What a parasite," the niece commented. "Iris Long isn’t even famous abroad. Practically nobody knows her there. Well, except for those old people from the European classical world. But who cares about classical music? Booooriiiiing~ Whatever. Who do they think they are? Iris Long and her mother are so full of themselves."
Zheng Suyin scrolled down the tablet to view the rest of the photos.
"Once a social climber, always a social climber," she said in a cold voice filled with venom. "With a mother like that, her slut daughter is sure to lose her supporters in the Long clan. Now that your Big Brother Hui owns 7.5% shares in Long Industries and is finally engaged to a suitable marriage partner, some of his previous supporters are returning to support him again. As is right. My son is the rightful heir to the Long clan and Long Industries. That slut mother and daughter are a joke. I don’t even understand why that little slut managed to obtain such a strong group of supporters in the Long clan."
While the aunt and niece insulted Wei Lan and Iris, Long Tengfei and his wife Yang Jiahui were also looking at the same photos in the Long ancestral residence.
"I hope that Wei Lan doesn’t embarrass my daughter at the international film festival," Long Tengfei muttered.
"I don’t think so," Yang Jiahui replied. "Meimei says that Wei Lan has been getting along with everyone in Xiulan’s household, especially the younger members of the staff. They look up to her."
Long Tengfei didn’t reply.
Yang Jiahui sighed. "People can and do change, Tengfei. Xiulan changed and it seems that her mother has also changed for the better. Don’t be so judgmental of Wei Lan anymore. Xiulan has accepted her back, so you should just let them connect as a mother and daughter should. Besides, it’s not like you have any room to talk. Meimei and her friends are very upset right now with your eldest son. Can’t you intervene in their situation? Your eldest son and youngest daughter are currently at war against each other. I know that you want your adult children to make their own decisions and I commend you for that. But as a parent, do you want your children to fight like this and treat each other like enemies?"
"I also wasn’t informed that my son broke up with Jiang Ying Yue and then got engaged with another woman. His mother and all the people involved hid it very well. It was already too late when my informants found out about it," he said. "I’ve already talked to my son but he wouldn’t listen to me. He has also started regularly visiting his mother at the Zhengs."
"Maybe...how about let’s invite Hui and Xiulan here for dinner?" Yang Jiahui suggested. "Tengfei, let’s help them resolve the issue with Jiang Ying Yue and Little Jun. I’m especially concerned for the well-being of the child. This kind of situation is not good for your grandson."
Long Tengfei was quiet for almost a minute, thinking, before he sighed and finally said, "Alright. We’ll plan something."
The night drew to a close. Each of these people went to sleep with their own thoughts after seeing the photos of the mother Wei Lan and her daughter Iris.

Chapter 483 - Opening Nigh
The opening night of the Sommet International Film Festival was expected to be filled with glitz, glamour, haute couture, and impressive personages. It wasn’t only people from the film industry who received special invitations to attend—sent by the festival’s organizers themselves or were brought as companions of the participants. There were also TV personalities, musicians, models, fashion designers, socialites, social media influencers, other kinds of celebrities, millionaires, billionaires, and even members of noble and royal families all over the world.
Even though the red carpet event and the opening ceremony wouldn’t start until late in the afternoon and evening respectively, a great crowd of people already surrounded the venue as early as dawn, in order to score the best spots behind the barricades to view the parade of the stars on the red carpet. In fact, the spectators and fans would have camped out the night before if only the police and the festivals’ security allowed them. Unfortunately for them, this was strictly not allowed. Anyone who didn’t follow the festival’s rules would be kicked out and even banned.
The media and the paparazzi also had strict rules to follow. Only those who had press badges were allowed inside. Even then, they could only stay within their designated spot behind the red ropes on the edge of the red carpet. Despite this, they still had front row positions compared to the regular spectators and fans behind the barricades on the other side of the road. In addition to this rule, they also had to follow a strict formal black tie dress code just like the attendees. If they didn’t, they would be kicked out of the red carpet event even if they had press badges.
Just before dusk, the guests and the stars started arriving. Rows of shiny luxury cars drove slowly and stopped where the red carpet began to drop off the VIPs one by one. Once the VIPs stepped out of the vehicles, their names were announced aloud as they walked the length of the red carpet and posed for the paparazzi, in order for everyone to know who they were.
Loud screams and cheers could be heard from the spectators behind the barricades upon hearing their favourite celebrities.
"Maestro Ludovico De Luca and Madame De Luca!" the emcee of the red carpet event announced.
The classical music maestro and his wife waved at the spectators before walking the red carpet while holding hands. Those who had backgrounds in classical music cheered and bowed to show their respect to the world-renowned maestro.
"Enrique Valdez!" the emcee announced next.
Deafening shrieks and screams arose from the crowd after hearing the legendary hitmaker’s name.
"Enrique, I love you!"
"Please marry me, Enrique Valdez!"
"I want to have your babies, Enrique!"
Thirsty declarations and comments like these were shouted in different languages. Throughout all of these, Enrique Valdez remained taciturn as always. His chiselled features, mesmerizing hazel eyes and gorgeous olive skin caused some fans to faint from overexcitement. He was almost in his sixties, but he looked ageless as ever. Some of the younger celebrities who walked the red carpet before him looked older than him, even though they were only in their thirties and forties.
Enrique Valdez came to the event alone. He didn’t bring anyone with him. There were news during the summer that he broke up with his latest fling who was a Brazilian supermodel. The high profile model kept on hinting to everyone through her social media posts and interviews that she was going to be Mrs. Valdez soon. It seemed that Enrique Valdez disagreed and just dumped her.
The legendary hitmaker walked the red carpet like the lone wolf that he was and posed for the cameras. He had no bad angles and looked gorgeous in virtually all the shots taken of him.
A few VIPs later, another car stopped in front of the red carpet. Two men, one older and one younger, stepped out. A booming laughter was immediately heard by the people close by.
"Sir Jianhong Lu and Mr. Hunter Lu!"
Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao walked together on the red carpet. There weren’t a lot of people who recognized Grandpa Lu. Only those who were related to or knowledgeable about the business world knew the legendary Chinese business genius. This included the millionaire and billionaire businessmen who were also guests attending the opening night. Their eyes lit up upon hearing Grandpa Lu’s name and couldn’t wait for the chance to talk to him in person.
As for Lu Zihao, nobody recognized him at all. The people whispered among themselves.
"Who’s that hunk?"
"Is the scar on his face makeup?"
"No, it looks real."
"He looks rich. Why didn’t he have the scar removed? I’m sure he could afford it."
"What are you talking about? Leave the scar alone! OMG! It makes him look SO FREAKING HOT!!!"
"Hunter Lu! Please look here! I just met you and I don’t know who you are but I already love you!"
This person spoke in French. Lu Zihao seemed to have heard her. He turned his head and looked directly at the woman. Then he flashed her a demonic smile.
"Kyaaaaaaaah!"
The crowd went crazy. Although they had no idea who he was, his alluring appearance and dangerous vibes made him incredibly attractive to them.
"Bahahaha! That’s my boy! Now if you’d only use that irresistible charm of yours that you inherited from ME, your beloved grandpa, to find yourself a wife, then this old man could die happily and peacefully! Bahahaha! Wait! No, not yet! I still need to wait for my great-grandbabies from you and from your Third Brother and Xiulan my girl! This old man refuses to die before then!"
Then Grandpa Lu "dotingly" smacked his grandson’s back several times. The loud thuds sounded painful but Lu Zihao didn’t even react. He stood nonchalantly with a faint demonic smile on his lips, as if the hard smacks were light as a feather’s touch.
The two posed for the cameras. However, Grandpa Lu got bored quickly, so he pulled his grandson away even though their time wasn’t up yet. The organizers couldn’t do anything because the grandfather and grandson looked too intimidating to approach.
Moments later, the emcee announced the next VIP guests. This vehicle carried the flag of Spain and another flag bearing an official-looking coat of arms.
"Vizcondesa Lan of Castillo de Estrellas of España, accompanied by Miss Ying Yue Jiang!"

Chapter 484 - Vizcondesa Lan
Jiang Ying Yue stepped out of the black, luxury car first. She wore a long qipao-inspired emerald dress with an intricate phoenix pattern. It was sleeveless, so her muscular arms stood out the most. The other foreign guests viewed her fit body with a mixture of admiration and envy. She looked elegant and strong at the same time. She stepped aside to allow the next person to step out of the car.
Wei Lan emerged from the car wearing a deep sapphire blue dress. The neck, sleeves and the bottom part of the skirt were made of sheer fabric woven with thousands of crystals sparkling brightly from the spotlights and camera flashes. She also wore an intricate diamond hair piece which looked like a tiara but wasn’t. Her makeup was subdued compared to what she usually wore in the past. Smoky eyes and nude, glossy lips. Her posture looked graceful. Overall, Wei Lan really looked the part of an elegant and dignified viscountess.
This time, the organizers sent a few representatives to give a warm welcome to Wei Lan and Jiang Ying Yue. They were especially respectful, polite and enthusiastic towards Wei Lan who they referred to as Vizcondesa Lan.
The people who saw this scene instantly became curious about Wei Lan and Jiang Ying Yue. The spectators immediately grabbed their smartphones and searched up the Viscountcy of Castillo de Estrellas. They confirmed that it was indeed a real title of nobility in Spain. They couldn’t find any additional details about it, though. All they could glean from the paltry information available on the internet was that the viscount and everyone in his noble household and businesses were all extremely low profile. Despite the lack of information, the people still felt impressed by Wei Lan. After all, she was a real life member of nobility even if it was through marriage.
As for the other VIP guests, they couldn’t search up more information about Wei Lan like the spectators because phone use was strictly prohibited on the red carpet. Instead, they planned on approaching her later to introduce themselves and directly speak to her. If she really was a viscountess, then it would be a good idea to befriend someone of high status like her.
Wei Lan and Jiang Ying Yue walked together on the red carpet. Since Wei Lan was a member of nobility, the organizers allowed her to bring more bodyguards compared to the other VIP guests. Most of the VIP guests like Maestro De Luca and his wife, Enrique Valdez, and Grandpa Lu and Lu Zihao didn’t bring any bodyguards at all. They just came on their own.
It was only Wei Lan who took advantage of the situation in order to show her status as a viscountess. She brought ten bodyguards—all Jin Liwei’s subordinates. They arrived on a separate private jet at dawn that same day. Her entourage made her look extra important and impressive to everyone.
She posed with Jiang Ying Yue for photos, once again wowing everyone with her confidence and skills in posing. Her past as a model certainly shone through, as she naturally found the best angles and lighting to ensure that every photos taken of her were all flattering.
As for Jiang Ying Yue, she looked stiff compared to Wei Lan’s gracefulness. She stood military-style with her back ramrod straight. Instead of looking awkward, however, it made her look strong and even intimidating.
Fortunately, Wei Lan didn’t force her to do some of the poses they had been practicing for days. Wei Lan concluded that Jiang Ying Yue’s stiff military-style pose looked more natural than if she forced herself to pose like how Wei Lan taught her.
"Vizcondesa, look here!"
"Smile, Vizcondesa!"
The photographers shouted requests at Wei Lan. Of course, she granted all of them. In the end, she posed for far longer than the time allotted to the guests. However, the organizers didn’t rush her and allowed her the extra time. The special treatment was very apparent.
Everyone was very curious about her. The members of the media wanted to interview her. Unfortunately, there were no interviews allowed on the red carpet. They had to wait for the formal dinner after the opening ceremony later that night in order to conduct interviews.
It was only the Chinese reporters who recognized Wei Lan. However, they still had to do a double take to make sure that it was really her.
Wei Lan was also somewhat famous back in China, or more accurately, she was infamous. She was known as the mother of Iris Long and also as the high profile ex-wife of Long Tengfei. Their divorce back then filled the entertainment news and tabloids, especially after Wei Lan demanded a ridiculous amount of alimony and child support from Long Tengfei. What was even more ridiculous was that she got everything she wanted from her ex-husband. After the divorce, she had become a notoriously extravagant socialite who everyone loved to hate. In short, her reputation back home wasn’t pleasant at all.
"When did Wei Lan become a viscountess?" the Chinese reporters asked among themselves.
"I have no idea. But what I do know is that this is surely gonna be BIG NEWS!"
They joined their foreign peers in snapping hundreds of photos of Wei Lan. They couldn’t wait to publish them online. Perhaps their bosses might even feel enough interest to feature this story on a TV news program or in a newspaper article. They thought that Wei Lan suddenly becoming a Spanish viscountess was the biggest Chinese news of the night.
They couldn’t wait to interview her at the formal dinner later. There were so many questions that they wanted to ask her. These Chinese reporters became too focused on Wei Lan that they had almost forgotten the purpose of why they came here in the first place. They were here to cover the participation of the only Chinese entry, the movie"Strong Yet Broken", in the Sommet International Film Festival.
One Chinese reporter wasn’t just snapping photos like the others. Instead, he was livestreaming the red carpet event for the Chinese viewers back home.
In just a few minutes of featuring Wei Lan, the viewers count immediately jumped from a pitiful 200 to almost 80,000. And it was still increasing.

Chapter 485 - New Status
Back in China, it was already past midnight and yet more and more people were foregoing sleep to tune in to the livestream of the Sommet International Film Festival’s opening night. Around half of the original 200 viewers of the livestream were made up of the Black Stars. Some of them were assigned to watch the red carpet event’s livestream right from the beginning and then alert the other Black Stars once the casts and crews of the participating films started arriving.
Most of the Black Stars weren’t very interested in watching the entire red carpet event. After all, they only cared about their Boss Iris.
For now, it was mostly the special guests who were arriving first on the red carpet. They knew that their Boss Iris wouldn’t arrive until much later because her assistant and manager were posting live updates on her social media pages. The two wrote that she had just finished getting ready, and that they had only just left on their way to the venue.
They also posted teasers of her dress, not revealing her appearance yet in the photos. Her full look would only be revealed once she walked down the red carpet later tonight. But even though it was only a close up of the dress’ fabric, the Black Stars already knew that their Boss Iris would look beautiful and glamorous. She always did. The Black Stars believed that even if she had to wear a sack of rice, she would still work it like a queen and look fabulous as always.
The rest of the Black Stars originally planned on watching the livestream not until much later, but they tuned in earlier than expected even when their boss hadn’t appeared yet. It was because their comrades alerted them that their boss’ mother, Wei Lan, had suddenly become a Spanish viscountess! They all wanted to see with their own eyes if it was really true.
Word of mouth about Wei Lan’s appearance as a special guest on the film festival’s red carpet soon spread. When photos of Iris Long and her mother shopping together in France were published online, people thought that Wei Lan was only able to attend because of her daughter. However, she just walked on the red carpet without her daughter. It seemed that she received a special invitation from the organizers themselves and not just as a tag along to her daughter.
The livestream’s view count kept on increasing by the minute. At the moment, it had already reached more than 150,000 and the numbers was still growing. It didn’t matter that it was already very late at night. Everyone was curious about Wei Lan, perhaps even more so than her daughter’s participation in the film festival.
It wasn’t only the Black Stars who were contributing to the increasing view count. The showbiz industry, especially the entertainment news media outlets, were also watching.
Of course, the news also reached the higher-ups of Bright Summit Entertainment Company. They immediately called Tang Yiyi who accompanied Iris Long to France. Tang Yiyi confirmed that Iris’ mother, Wei Lan, had indeed become a Spanish viscountess.
"I’m sorry. I only learned about it during this trip. I was also as surprised as you all are and everyone else," Tang Yiyi told her bosses.
However, this was only an excuse. The manager frequently visited Iris to check up on her, including when she and Jin Liwei stayed at the penthouse when Wei Lan just returned to the country. Tang Yiyi had already discovered Wei Lan’s new identity back then because the woman couldn’t keep her mouth shut about it. Despite this, Tang Yiyi decided to keep it a secret, just like how she kept Iris’ relationship with Jin Liwei a secret. She refused to betray Iris’ trust. She considered Iris as her most precious artist under her management.
Bright Summit’s higher-ups were currently having an impromptu video conference meeting so late at night while watching the livestream. They were already brainstorming various ways on how to rebrand Iris Long’s image now that she had suddenly become the daughter of a member of Spanish nobility. Even though she didn’t have a title herself, the higher-ups thought that the connection was already enough to exploit.
In addition to these people, the entire Chinese high society was also alerted and tuned in to the livestream. They didn’t care that it was already past midnight. They had to watch. Wei Lan wasn’t well-liked by many in the country’s high society. Actually, she was hated by a lot. There were many madams who thought that their husbands had an affair with Wei Lan, although they didn’t have any proof. Wei Lan’s reputation was so bad in high society that she would be the first woman the madams blamed when they had suspicions that their husbands were cheating on them.
And now they discovered that the gold digging, social climbing slut had become a Spanish viscountess? This bombshell that Wei Lan dropped was too explosive! They couldn’t believe it! Wei Lan, a viscountess? And it was even a real, existing title!
Many were filled with envy and even more hatred towards her.
"So she married a Spanish viscount this time? She’s indeed a certified gold digger and social climber. A tiger truly can’t change its stripes. She’ll never change! A truly disgusting woman!"
Some, however, were extremely impressed by her achievement.
"Ah, she has truly outdone herself this time. Imagine, marrying a viscount? And a real viscount at that! The title still exists today, not like the long lost noble title that the Longs, her ex-husband’s family are so proud of. I wonder how the Longs will react once they know about this. They’ll probably have an apoplexy! Who knew that Wei Lan could still catch a bigger fish than Long Tengfei years later? This Spanish viscount is probably the biggest fish that she could ever hope to catch in her lifetime...and she did! Wei Lan’s methods may be questionable, but nobody could deny that she knows how to effectively use what she has in order to ascend in life. We should befriend her once she returns to the country. I don’t care about what kind of a person she is. It will certainly be beneficial to us if we connect ourselves to her, viscountess!"
The reactions were mixed among these people. Many hated her for what they called her "ill-gotten success, wealth and status", while others were already making plans on how to get close to her and exploit her new status.
