Chapter 1338
A flashy red sports car pulled up smoothly in front of the Huber family estate.
Winona, rocking a pair of sunglasses, was behind the wheel. She gave a quick tap on the horn.
The Huber family’s security guard caught sight of her and was practically gawking.
No wonder she was a celebrity-she was ridiculously gorgeous! Almost unfairly
So.
The security guys hustled over, tripping over each other in their eagerness.
“Ms. Newsom, are you here to see our young master p>
“Mr. Bradford called ahead. Just drive forward, then swing around to the back entrance p>
“That’ll get you closest to the chapel, and it’s out of sight from the old man. Someone’s waiting for you at the back door to take you over p>
Winona nodded. “Got it, thanks p>
“No problem at all, ma’am p>
They all watched the sports car roll away, full of admiration and envy.
“I seriously don’t get what’s wrong with Zane,” one of them muttered. “Marries a knockout like that and doesn’t even appreciate her. Guy’s got mashed potatoes for brains p>
“Zane’s mom isn’t much better, always spreading rumors about Ms. Newsom online p>
“Do you know how lucky you gotta be to get a daughter-in-law like her? The Livingstons must’ve prayed for decades, and these two just threw it all away p>
“If she were in my family, the old man and lady would spoil her rotten p>
“For sure! Our boss and his wife always say, as long as the daughter-in-law is breathing, she’s good enough p>
“But Ms. Newsom is drop-dead gorgeous! The old folks would be in tears of joy p>
“Well, there’s still Ms. Sutton. And she’s never been married, while Ms. Newsom is divorced p>
“So what? Our young master has dated half the city-he’s got a reputation. If Ms. Newsom isn’t scared off, we should count our blessings p>
“Exactly! Between Ms. Sutton and Ms. Newsom? I’m team Newsom all the way. She’s awesome p>
“Same here! I’m rooting for Ms. Newsom p>
“Let’s hope, guys. If our young master ends up with Ms. Newsom, we’ll finally have something to brag about p>
“No one could laugh at us anymore, saying the Huber family can’t find a young mistress p>
“She’s way more elegant than Mrs. Windham or Mrs. Murphy’s daughters-in-law, that’s for sure p>
“There’s no comparison! They’re princesses at best. Ms. Newsom is a queen p>
Meanwhile, Winona had no idea the Huber family gatekeepers had already decided she was one of their own.
She’d just come to drop off some lunch, and now she was basically part of the Huber clan!
Every guard was calling her ‘our Ms. Newsom’ like she already belonged.
With Richard and Janelle praying day and night for a daughter-in-law, everyone in the Huber household was getting desperate.
Even though Keaton had dated more women than anyone could count, he’d only ever brought Beatrix home.
Everyone had liked Beatrix at first, but ever since the whole Sutton debacle, the Huber house had been in chaos.
Richard was furious, Janelle was in tears, and their precious Baby had gotten beaten half to death again.
So, yeah, the entire staff was officially done with the Sutton family.
And then-just like that-Winona showed up.
All eyes shifted to her.
She was only the second woman, after Beatrix, to set foot in the Huber home Not only was she beautiful
and from a good family, but she was single now, too!
Looks, age, background-she and Keaton were a perfect match!
It was like fate itself was throwing the Huber family a bone.
No, not a bone-a lifeline!
If Winona became their daughter-in-law, the Huber family would finally have some real clout.
And hey, if all went well, maybe next
year there’d be a new little Hurthet
toddling around. They’d be the toast of the social scene!
Among Keaton’s generation, there were at least twenty other eligible bachelors in the circle, but only Tarquin had a kid. TM to
The rest were either still dating, newly engaged, or married but childless.
The old-money wives in the country club were green with envy whenever Tarquin’s kid came up.
