Claudine walked over to the champagne table, picked up a glass, and brought it to Audrey.
But Audrey didn’t take it.
She stood there, looking down at the woman in front of her, her face full of superiority, though no one knew the jeal ousy she felt inside.
These past few days, she had been at the hospital with her daughter.
Unexpectedly, Darlene kept bringing up Claudine.
Even in her dreams at night, she called out Claudine’s name…
But she was Darlene’s mother!
“Ms. Lavigne?”
Claudine frowned, not understanding what Audrey meant.
Only then did Audrey take the champagne.
“Ms. Hogan, are you working here?”
Claudine glanced at Audrey, not knowing why she harbored such hostility toward her.
At that moment, someone nearby finally spoke up.
“Ms. Hogan is Professor Nixon’s student. Back in school, she was quite the star!”
“That’s right! Professor Nixon wanted her to pursue a PhD back then, but for some reason, she never did.”
“I know about that. I heard she got married, and her husband already had a daughter. She became a rich wife!”
“Then what is she doing here now?”
“Maybe she couldn’t keep being a rich wife, so she found a job as a waitress.”
“Hahaha…”
Laughter erupted all around, and Claudine became the butt of everyone’s jokes.
These people only remembered the resentment of being overshadowed by Claudine back in school. Now, they as- sumed she had lost her former abilities, and, not knowing the truth, they felt free to mock her and vent their old frus-
trations!
Claudine looked at the people in front of her and recognized quite a few familiar faces.

The room was filled with laughter
Claudine knew the professors were only joking, so she didn’t take it to heart.
Besides, many of the professors here were fiends of her grandfather. She was even thinking of fishing a chance after the banquet to ask them if there was still any hope regarding her grandfather’s matter
