In an instant, silence descended over the entire place. It was so quiet one could hear a pin drop
“Didn’t you say you wanted me to apologize Christina retorted
Rainelda widened her eyes, staring at her incredulously, and said hotly. “So you slapped me?”
Christina narrowed her eyes slyly. “Mm-hmm”
Her arrogant attitude struck a nerve in Rainelda “Christina Steele, I’m going to kill you!”
She lunged toward Christina as though she had lost her mind.
Christina’s eyes widened slightly, and her breath hitched. She dodged aside nimbly. Swiping at empty
air. Rainelda tumbled heavily onto the grass.
When those behind her saw her fall, they rushed forward in concern. “Are you okay!”
“It hurts…” The fall had ruined her makeup, and there was a searing pain in her knees. “Whoever helps
to avenge me will receive a classic Hermes bag tomorrow as a reward!”
That bag was notoriously difficult to obtain even if one had money and was very valuable.
The eyes of some in the crowd went as wide as saucers when they heard that.
Almost all at once, they turned to Christina with vicious gazes as though they had spotted a fat, juicy
prey.
Sensing something off about the atmosphere, Rayne stepped protectively in front of Christina
immediately. “You should think carefully about just who is standing before you. Are you sure she’s
someone you can afford to offend?”
The other’s gazes mellowed a little in the blink of an eye. Even though she’s not favored, she’s still
Nathaniel Hadley’s wife and isn’t someone we should offend.
The situation became tense again, and an awkward atmosphere hung in the air.
“What a bunch of good-for-nothings!” Rainelda climbed to her feet. I’m going to salvage my reputation.
whatever it takes!
Her gaze was ferocious. There was no trace of the elegant air befitting a fashionable socialite she had
displayed earlier.
Christina furrowed her brows in concentration, watching closely as Rainelda charged toward her. Just
as the latter was about to deliver a blow to her face, Christina lifted a leg and kicked her straight in the
chest.
Rainelda let out an agonized cry, and the crowd gasped.
Rainelda’s body curled forward, and she fell to her knees in front of Christina
“You hit me. I’m going to report this to the police.” Rainelda broke into a cold sweat from the
excruciating pain. Upon raising her head, she saw Christina’s frosty expression.
“Go ahead. I’ll be waiting.” Christina responded. With her lips curled into a slight smirk, she looked like
a cold and proud angel.
Her aura was so strong and intimidating that the others around them became even more afraid of
intervening. Even those who had defended Rainelda carlier did not have the courage to go and help
her to
her feet.
Just then, the banquet’s organizer came over to check on the situation after hearing the commotion.
The organizer was someone Rainelda was on good terms with, so when Rainelda saw her coming
over, she rushed forward immediately and started playing the victim. “Mrs. Williams, this woman had
the audacity to hurt me at your event. You must stand up for me!”
Jocelyn and Rainelda were usually very friendly with each other, and the latter never failed to flatter the
wealthy woman. Based on their relationship. Rainelda was confident Jocelyn would take her side.
When Rayne saw the woman, the color drained from her face. Isn’t this the same Mrs. Williams we
offended this morning? Even the gods are against us this time!
“What should we do, Christina? Mrs. Williams will surely use this opportunity to make things difficult for
us,” she said worriedly.
Christina’s expression remained as calm as still water, and her cold eyes showed no sign of fear. “We
didn’t do anything, so what’s there to be afraid of?” She looked toward the two women with a wintry
gaze and spoke in a composed and confident tone..
Gritting her teeth. Rainelda uttered, “Just listen to how arrogant she is, Mrs. Williams. You should
teach,
her a lesson.”
No sooner had she said that than a loud slap resounded through the space.
The entire venue fell silent, and no one dared to breathe.
Everyone, including Christina, had a look of shock in their eyes.
Rayne clutched at Christina’s hand, blinking. Everything had happened so quickly that she could not
help suspecting that her eyes were playing tricks on her. “Christina, does Mrs. Williams have a problem
with her eyesight? Is that why she slapped the wrong person?”
“I don’t think so,” Christina replied.
Opposite them. Rainelda felt her cheek tingle painfully. It was as though someone had sprinkled salt
over a wound that had yet to heal.
She stared at Jocelyn in disbelief, bereft of words. Has she gone mad? Why did she hit me?
“Are you telling me what to do? Do you know the position you’re in now?” Jocelyn asked, shooting her
a cold, sidelong glance.
Rainelda’s breathing became slower, and her spirits slowly sank.
“You said I looked good in white, so I bought a closetful of white dresses and outfits. However,
whenever I wore them out, everyone laughed at me behind my back for looking like a big, clumsy
elephant with a white cloth over it. How can someone with no sense of style like you become a fashion
buyer or endorse a famous brand?”
Jocelyn’s booming voice felt like a hammer to Rainelda’s head.
Indeed, I did tell her white clothes looked good. Worn on a figure like hers, however, the effect is too
hideous for words.
I only lied because I wanted to get closer to her. I thought no one would ever discover this secret. No
wonder she wore a burgundy dress today. I didn’t think anything of it. However, I now realize that she
has already seen through my lie.
Clasping her hands together, Rainelda pleaded, “Listen to me. White is truly beautiful. It’s a clean color.
It’s the most suitable for someone as distinguished as you.”
pure
and
“Save your lies for fools,” Jocelyn said with a cold snort. Then, she turned and instructed the
bodyguards. behind her. “Escort this woman out. I don’t want to see her at any of my events in the
future.”
“Yes, Mrs. Williams.”
With that, several bodyguards led Rainelda out in full view of everyone present.
Although she looked utterly pathetic as she left, she did not deserve an ounce of pity.
Jocelyn walked over to Christina. In a soft and concerned tone, she enquired, “Mrs. Hadley, did that
startle you?”
Christina was surprised by the abrupt hundred-and-eighty-degree shift in her demeanor. It was just this
morning that she was at loggerheads with me about my opinion!
“Wanting to prove that what you said isn’t true, I deliberately chose not to wear a white dress today. To
my surprise, everyone praised me for looking absolutely stunning. They also commented that when I
wore white in the past, the color would highlight the flaws in my figure. That’s when I realized Rainelda
had tricked me!” Taking Christina’s hand, Jocelyn continued softly, “I’ve decided to proceed with my
order for custom dresses from you. I’ll follow your advice for everything.”
“If you’re willing to take my advice, it’ll definitely be my pleasure to design the best dress for you,”
Christina answered with a smile, her eyes shining
Christina and Rayne left after the banquet ended.
“Is your face okay? Why did you shield me?” Gazing at her assistant’s slightly reddened cheek,
Christina. could not help feeling a little guilty.
Rayne rubbed her cheek gently. “I saw she wanted to hurt you and was afraid you’d get hurt.”
“I’ll give you a bonus at the end of the month. We’ll count it as a work-related injury.”
“In that case, I don’t mind that I got slapped,” Rayne responded with a grin, completely forgetting about
her earlier embarrassment.
When the pair walked out, they saw a black Maybach pull up right in front of them.
The car window wound down halfway, and the lights illuminated a man’s cold and resolute profile.
“Get in.”
