"Oh dear... You're doing more than alright. You're doing great," Eleanor whispered. "Everyone is looking because you're new, not because they dislike you."
Evelyn nodded slowly, though she didn't entirely agree.
Because she still heard a faint whisper from Axel's family members sitting in the back row, as they started gossiping about her.
She straightened her coat and took a slow breath.
But her fragile calm was shattered the moment someone else arrived.
Heavy footsteps stopped near the front row.
A cold aura swept in like a winter breeze.
Evelyn stiffened.
From the corner of her eye, Evelyn saw him, her father-in-law, Alexander Knight. He appears tall, severe, and imposing.
Alexander Knight's commanding presence naturally caused everyone, including Evelyn, to straighten their spines.
He didn't glance at Evelyn at all; instead, he warmly greeted Amanda, then sat down beside her.
