Rain arrived at the dinner party just in time, and as Zaldy had predicted, all eyes were on her. The moment she stepped into the room, her elegance and the stunning gown she wore captured everyone's attention. She held her head high, exuding confidence, but the whispers around her were impossible to miss.
"So what if she's beautiful? She'll be divorced soon," someone murmured.
"Did you see how she came alone? I guess the contract rumors are true," another added.
"Who would've thought she'd only use the Lancaster name for four months? I heard the Clayton Hospital University is close to bankruptcy, especially now that their backer is gone."
Rain's jaw tightened, but she didn't falter. Ignoring the cutting remarks, she walked gracefully to the table where her team was already gathered. Her colleagues greeted her warmly, their supportive smiles helping to ease some of the tension she felt.
