I Quit Being a Stepmother (Cypress Gem) novel Chapter 572

It wasn't until Kate's wedding day that Rhea finally understood what she had meant by being neighbors.

She and George had just wrapped up their latest projects and planned to hold their wedding that summer. When they stayed at their ocean-view villa, they discovered that Kate was living right next door.

In the span of two months, three major events stirred up the entire city of Draventh.

The first came from the Pearson family. Kate married Sawyer and officially became Mrs. Burton.

What everyone couldn't stop talking about was how devoted Sawyer was to her.

Many people had seen him accompany Kate while shopping. He would buy whatever she looked at without hesitation. He was gentle, courteous, and endlessly attentive.

As a wedding gift, Sawyer even gave Kate a gemstone mine. That alone became a reason for countless heiresses to envy her.

Every post Kate shared on Instagram would explode with likes.

The second major event also came from the Pearson family.

Connor's case, involving an accusation of sexually coercing a female college student, had finally gone to court.

The scandal spread like wildfire.

Many people doubted whether Connor could really be that despicable. Seeing how well Kate seemed to be doing, they began to believe that he must have been falsely accused.

After all, if he were truly guilty, how could she still have the heart to go shopping?

The third major event involved the Ravelle family.

Rhea made her name in the business world after a seemingly minor investment brought her major success.

That project brought her company over 300 million dollars in net profit.

However, it hadn't been well-received at first. Many people said that Rhea wasn't cut out for investing and that with her in charge, Solaris Ventures was bound to go under. Comments like that could be heard everywhere.

Now, Rhea had proven them wrong. But she maintained a low profile and rarely appeared in public, which only made her seem more mysterious.

In contrast, Kate was constantly in the spotlight.
