His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 543

“Look at Miss Ramona—so elegant…”

Marigold’s praise brought a confident smile to Ramona’s lips.

Everyone who dined at Nimbus Summit belonged to the upper crust, and Ramona had made sure to dress to impress, outshining the crowd with her lavish outfit.

But that smile faded as her eyes drifted to the neighboring table.

She had been certain she was the most glamorous woman in the restaurant tonight, yet Jonathan hadn’t spared her a single glance.

A flicker of dissatisfaction flashed in Ramona’s eyes.

Marigold, meanwhile, had assumed that by tearing down Niamh and boosting Ramona, she’d win Hayes and Carlotta’s approval.

But both Hayes and Carlotta looked as if they’d swallowed something bitter.

“Miss Rivers is wearing the latest LV ballet flats—there are only five pairs in the world,” Carlotta remarked coolly.

Marigold paused, caught off guard.

“LV’s whole philosophy these past couple of years has been merging comfort with style. When these flats were unveiled at fashion week, they were paired with a black evening gown.”

“…Oh…is that so…” Marigold forced a smile, awkwardness tugging at her lips.

Why did Carlotta’s words sound like a jab at her lack of taste?

The truth was, when Niamh picked her outfit, she hadn’t cared about brands. She simply chose colors she liked, styles she felt comfortable in—nothing more.

Yet the effect was nearly as striking as any model walking the runway.

“Mrs. Thomas, you don’t seem too happy with your daughter-in-law?” Hayes’s voice broke the awkward silence.

Marigold blinked, then replied crisply, “Not happy at all. If Niamh hadn’t saved Jonathan’s life and the old man insisted he had to repay her, I never would’ve let her into our family.”
