A group of socialites and elegant ladies were either leaning or sitting on the sofa.
They were holding wine glasses, whispering and giggling softly.
Only Hannah Ford was left out, all by herself.
She sat alone on a separate sofa.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break into the circle of the other nine ladies.
...
Just as Emily Taylor had said.
The other nine ladies were all of the same status as herself, truly coming from top wealthy families - noble ladies and misses.
As for someone like Hannah Ford, if it wasn't for her association with Aidan Lucas which brought her some fame,
What virtues or abilities would she have to sit on equal footing with these socialites and noble ladies?
The other nine ladies were either prodigies or wives of wealthy families.
Only Hannah Ford lacked both a noble birth and a distinguished family background.
Although the Ford family was not too bad, they paled in comparison to the families behind the nine ladies present.
