The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 551

Lillian forced a smile and acted calm. She said, "I don't usually talk about Fenna's job, and I didn't even know General Morrison had such a great assistant like Fenna. Since you two know each other, that's a plus."

Mila casually walked by Lillian and sat down by the bonfire.

A group of people around the same age were chatting nearby, seemingly captivated by Mila's appearance and outfit. Everyone was looking at her as if she were a spectacle.

Lillian approached and announced, "Hey everyone, let me introduce you. This is Wanda Hoffis, General Morrison's wife, the leader of the Norvanian military. She's also the granddaughter of the wealthiest person.

"But things have shifted. The new richest person in Norvania is Avery Talerico, Oliver's wife. Wanda didn't inherit any of that fortune.

"Anyway, let's all enjoy tonight. Eat, drink, and have a blast!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, clearly pumped up.

Mila couldn't fit in the group. While most people there liked drinking, singing, and playing games, she was elegant and more reserved. They were loud and outgoing, but she seemed more comfortable alone.

They didn't have much in common or share any interest.

A sharply dressed man walked up to Mila and sat beside her. He seemed eager as he asked, "Are you Wanda?"

Mila nodded.

"Care for a drink?"

Mila politely refused. "No, thank you."

"Are you into murder mystery games?"

Mila looked puzzled, "No, not really."

"What about blackjack?"

"No, I don't play."

"We work hard to better ourselves, but we'll never achieve the same success as her."

Mila listened and smiled thinly. To others, they thought she was successful because of her family, husband, and connections. But she didn't care what they thought.

She stared relentlessly at Lillian, showing no mercy as she asked, "If you admit you don't have wealth and despise using connections to get ahead, why not focus on self-improvement instead of settling for mediocrity?"

Lillian's face darkened. She was surprised by Mila's blunt reply. The mention of "settling for mediocrity" stung her deeply, and left her feeling embarrassed.

Fenna stepped in to defend Lillian. "Lillian is anything but mediocre. She graduates from Norvania's top institution and runs her own advertising agency purely through her talent and hard work."

Equally riled up, Lillian retorted, "None of us here are mediocre. Any one of us could outshine you effortlessly. Take my friend Fenna, for example.

"Like General Morrison, she graduated from the National Defense University, worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and speaks Xyprish fluently.

"She earned her position alongside General Morrison entirely on her own merits. If it weren't for your deceitful tactics pushing her away, she'd still be his invaluable assistant."
