Chapter 561: Chapter 564: Playing with Hannah Ford

Hannah Ford felt lost and uneasy, unable to fit in with the circle of noble ladies.

As she sat nervously in a corner of the sofa.

She didn’t know that.

Someone had already been watching from a room on the second floor.

Every move in the banquet hall downstairs was clearly seen.

…

On the second floor of the Presidential Palace, in a certain room.

The First Lady, Mrs. Evelyn Lucas, who should have been downstairs.

Now, she was casually leaning on an armchair with a lazy posture.

She glanced at the surveillance screen, a blossoming smile on her face.

“This Hannah Ford is really stupid beyond belief. Mom, look at her cowering, heh… how could Aidan Lucas have fallen for such a woman? She’s so pathetic!”

Tara Hammond, sitting primly beside Evelyn, was not as freely unrestrained as her.

She laughed softly, looking gentle and elegant, “What do you know? Some men are just attracted to this kind of act. Hannah Ford isn’t too stupid. At least she knows to play weak and pitiful.”

“It’s just a pity that she has misused this trick… Tonight’s banquet guests are all women. Her act of playing pitiful might work with men, but with women, it only makes her more annoying.”

Evelyn Lucas disdainfully raised her eyebrows, “Even if it works, I don’t like it. Men should be playthings for women, caught between our applause. This Hannah Ford really disappoints me.”

“Silly kid, not every woman in this world can have the unique advantages like we do, mother and daughter.”

Tara Hammond chuckled lightly, “Besides, if your father and brother heard you say that, they might not be happy about it.”

“How could they compare…” Evelyn Lucas pouted charmingly, “My father and brother are not ordinary men to be mentioned in the same breath.”

For Evelyn, Theodore Lucas and Nolan Lucas were the men she most admired.

Beyond them, even her current husband, the newly appointed President Rodney Rhodes, was just a tool for her to use.

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Tara Hammond indulgently smiled, “Alright, alright, it’s about time… you should head downstairs.”

“Alright then.”

Evelyn Lucas sat up from the reclining chair and lazily adjusted her hairstyle, “Let me go downstairs and back up that poor Miss Ford.”

Hannah Ford was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor from the First Lady, who held her hand and smiled charmingly.

She never thought that.

Originally neglected, she would unexpectedly become fast friends with the First Lady.

In front of numerous noble ladies and socialites, the First Lady took a liking to her at first glance and even claimed to want to adopt her as a sworn sister.

This was truly beyond Hannah Ford’s expectations!

“Hannah, I really like your personality. Let’s set it in stone… from now on you’ll call me sister, and I’ll call you sister, alright?”

Evelyn Lucas smiled sincerely, not revealing the disdain she held for Hannah Ford in her heart.

Hearing the First Lady say this, others didn’t want to brush off her affection.

They also followed suit with kind words.

Hannah Ford listened and became even more elated. She quickly changed her tone, “Thank you, sister…since sister favors me, whatever you say, I will listen to.”

“Good girl, very sensible.” Evelyn Lucas tugged at the corner of her mouth, using her beautiful almond-shaped eyes to size up Hannah Ford.

“I heard that Sister Hannah is the head of the Lucas family’s first love, and recently there seems to be a resurgence of old feelings. At first, I thought it was just a rumor fabricated by outsiders.”
