Chapter 27 Fakers Gonna Fake
- Catherine's grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, siblings, close friends, relatives, and other well-wishers present kept taking turns in congratulating her. Meanwhile, some family members of hers were struggling to reconcile their feelings of jealousy and resentment towards her. The fact that the unpopular Catherine of the Jones Family was now going to be the queen and it wasn’t them or their daughters/sisters who were chosen was a big blow. But, they put on a show of being happy for her, showering her with compliments and congratulations.
- However, Catherine could still sense the jealousy and envy in some of their faces, but she tried her best to ignore it and focus on the positive energy in the room. Even those who barely spoke to her or had previously shown disdain towards her in the past were now trying to butter up to her, hoping to get in her good books. They kept flattering Catherine and trying to make it appear to others that they had a close relationship with her.
- It made her feel a little uncomfortable, as she knew that all of them were doing this because of her new status. It was clear that everyone wanted a piece of her success, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed by all the excess love and attention she was receiving from these fakers.
