“Since she has apologized on her own accord, then she should really apologize to Maureen.” Gianna
declared with a righteous look.
Bernice’s face drastically changed at the moment. No matter how good she was as an actress, she
couldn’t maintain her fake facade anymore at this point.
In her whole, the person she hated the most was none other than Maureen. Since their childhood days,
they had been locking horns. All the other young ladies of the other affluent families knew better than to
get in her way, but Maureen was the oddity who never relented in front of her. Instead, she would
always hold opposing thoughts and opinions to Bernice when it came to practically anything.
Later on, she had fallen for Bruce, but it turned out that Bruce fancied Maureen, which in her opinion
was the biggest humiliation she could experience in her life. She hated Maureen to the core, and it
would be a joke if she had to bow down her head in front of her now!
Lindsay was able to discern what was going on inside her daughter’s mind. Knowing well how much
she hated Maureen, to ask her to apologize to Maureen in front of everyone else was a suffering worse
than death. She couldn’t help but cursing at Gianna for leading to this development.
This woman really didn’t take Lindsay’s kindness at face value since she was playing the role of the
righteous one here while it was already an honour for Bernice to apologize to her.
She got more and more riled up the more she thought about this.
However, seeing that there were so many people around them, Lindsay couldn’t just turn around and
flee even if she wanted to.
At the same time, everyone seemed to be waiting for Bernice to make her apologies. There was no
space to manoeuvre in this situation.
“Bernice, look at you, you’re being childish again. How can you smash Maureen’s phone so clumsily?
Fast, apologize now.” Osmond interjected in a soft manner in order to prevent more awkwardness
shrouding his family.
Although he had made things seemed light by mentioning that Bernice was being “clumsy”, in the end,
Bernice seemed to have no other choice other than apologizing to Maureen in this situation.
Maureen straightened her back at this moment while waiting for Bernice this little bitch to bend down in
front of her.
She had to admit that Gianna was giving her a very rare reward now.
“Bernice.” Seeing that Bernice didn’t say anything, Osmond’s face slowly darkened.
In the upper class of society, importance was always placed on the male member of a family. As long
as the head of the family speak, it was a sign of total obedience. No one could say otherwise!
Bernice’s eyes had turned red out of nervousness.
“I know that you’re not doing it purposely, but you still smashed Maureen’s phone. It’s your fault.”
Lindsay pinched Bernice’s back to urge her daughter.
Bernice endured the snapping pain and stared viciously at Maureen.
On the other hand, Maureen was grinning ear to ear.
“Bernice.” Lindsay was growing impatient.
“Sorry.” Bernice seemed to force those words out of her teeth.
She was on the verge of tears although it was just a word. She was also forcing her to endure the
embarrassment!
She was probably resenting everyone around her for putting her in this situation.
Gianna was snickering coldly on one side.
If the Kennedys didn’t brand themselves into such high-class personalities and presented themselves
as educated, obedient and polite, they wouldn’t have driven her daughter into such a tight spot at this
moment!
One day, this daughter would expose all the falsities and facades made by the Kennedys.
“It’s nothing.” Maureen answered generously, “You’re too young to understand anything, so I won’t
bother with you on such things too. Remember don’t simply bark at anyone next time.”
Too young to understand anything? !
What did she mean by her barking?
Was she referring her as a dog?
Bernice couldn’t maintain her composure anymore once she understood that Maureen was throwing
sarcastic remarks at her. She was about to go into a frenzy and curse back at Maureen.
At the last second, Lindsay grabbed Bernice, “Since we are all settled here, I’ll bring Bernice and grab
some desserts to eat. She didn’t have her dinner yet.”
Lindsay didn’t want Bernice to embarrass the Kennedy family name in front of so many.
Bernice was forced to put up with her hatred once again.
She shot a venomous glare at Maureen before leaving with her mother.
The moment she turned around, all of a sudden there was a loud snapping sound that sounded like
fabric tearing apart.
Immediately afterwards, Bernice screamed out at the top of her lungs, “Ah!”
Her scream attracted everyone’s attention.
They all saw that Bernice’s evening dress was torn and the spot was coincidentally where her chest
was. Her skin-coloured bra pad was exposed just like this. Everyone saw her embarrassment at the
moment.
Gianna immediately lifted her leg which was originally on the lower edge of Bernice’s dress on the floor.
She looked a little flustered too as she called out, “Bernice, you are too fast on your feet just now, I
have accidentally stepped on your dress…”
“Ah!” Bernice was going crazy now.
She had never faced such embarrassment in her life before this.
Not even once.
She covered her chest and screamed like a mad woman, ignoring her image.
Lindsay was only able to recover after a moment as she hastily shielded her daughter, “Don’t look!”
She sounded a little angry because everyone was staring at this fiasco.
They were in the middle of a humiliation where their face was lost. How could they still allow anyone to
watch them like this?
How could the Kennedys and her daughter face the others anymore in the future?
Caesar finally responded at that moment as he hastily removed his coat to cover Bernice’s body.
“Immediately send her back!” Osmond’s face was very ugly at this moment.
Never had the Kennedys lost their own face like this previously.
Never once had any of them found themselves in such a humiliating situation.
Lindsay helped Bernice as they fled the hall.
Bernice was sobbing as she trudged on while feelings of embarrassment and frustration attacked her.
Gianna must be doing this on purpose!
That woman must be planning this all along!
Gianna and Maureen exchanged a glance.
Maureen had a feeling that she could never underestimate her best friend, Gina.
This woman was really going all out!
Since when was she so dominant?
“Sorry for letting you guys witness something so laughable.” Osmond announced with a pretended
smile as he tried to make himself look nonchalant.
“Accidents happen from time to time. Come, let’s have a toast now, it’s rare for the four wealthiest
families to get together and drink. Toast to each other!” As the host, Alexander had to iron out the
creases in the atmosphere.
All the others present were socialite who knew the ways of society. They all chipped in to move on from
that awkward scene just now.
It seemed that everything had returned to normal.
Everyone was chatting away happily in the hall.
Gianna was dragged by Caesar to the back garden at that moment.
Naturally, she could feel the silent anger emanating from Caesar.
“What the hell were you doing just now?” Caesar tried to suppress his anger, but it seemed like he was
at his limit.
“I didn’t do it on purpose.” Gianna had a look of innocence, “I didn’t know why I was stepping on
Bernice’s dress, and just now she was hurrying away too. If she didn’t move so suddenly, her dress
would not be torn too. And to top it off Bernice had to face such embarrassment…”
“Gianna, you’ve changed.” Caesar was staring intently at her. He didn’t conceal the fact that he was
upset at Gianna’s change he had detected.
Gianna wanted to snicker coldly.
Of course, she had to change.
Or else, would she want to be his play thing once again?
However, she didn’t show any of her real thoughts on her face, “Why do you think that? We are
together almost every day. In what way have I changed?”
Caesar still had that hard, cold glint in his eyes.
She was right.
They were practically inseparable.
How could she just change all of a sudden?
However, Gianna was behaving erratically to the point that he couldn’t see through her mind anymore.
He couldn’t exert any control over her anymore.
“Caesar, are you unhappy because I have been involved with altercations with your family members?”
Gianna asked carefully.
It was just like in her past life.
She was afraid that he would he mad or upset so she always made sure to account for changes in his
feelings.
As long as he had some pent-up feelings, she would give in no matter what the condition was.
