Just then, a clear and assertive female voice rang out, “Is that what you call a perfect arrangement? Then how about we forcefully marry you, Miss Cooper, to a yokel who needs a wife? Would that also be considered a perfect match for the Cooper family?” Judie’s expression changed drastically, her arrogance giving way to surprise and irritation. “Who dares to speak toin such a disrespectful manner?” The serene and harmonious voice of the refined woman stood in stark contrast to Judie’s avaricious and shrill tone, reminiscent of an elegant crane gracefully emerging amidst a gaggle of sordid, mindless hens.
The surrounding crowd was instantly drawn to the spectacle, with intrigued gazes pivoting towards them.

“Why are you here alone? Where's Marco?” Loraine stepped forward and gently grasped Eloise’s hand, her smile brimming with reassurance.
“My boyfriend isn’t known here, and the villagers are unfamiliar with him, causing sdelay during registration. | apologize for making you face such an individual alone.” Eloise patted her hand fondly. “It’s alright, Lorrie...” “Lorrie? Are you Loraine?” Judie was taken aback, incredulous.

But upon hearing Eloise utter her name, Judie recognized Loraine immediately.
Staring at the woman in front of her, attired simply yet exuding an ethereal beauty, Judie found it hard to comprehend. “No! It's impossible, you can't be Loraine!” How could Loraine outshine her so drastically, glowing with an irresistible radiance? And that sophisticated aura, how could it belong to the unassuming girl from their shared past? The truth was unbearable; the person she used to bully now eclipsed her, not just by a factor of ten, but perhaps even a hundred.
Protectively, Eloise shot Judie a cautious look and swiftly moved to shield Loraine, reminiscent of a mother hen safeguarding her chick.
While Eloise might shield Loraine from Judie’s prying eyes, she couldn't protect Loraine from the collective scrutiny of the banquet attendees.
The moment Loraine’s nwas revealed, more eyes darted her way, the villagers’ expressions shifting from surprise to skepticism.
