I can’t bear this; I simply can’t bear this!
I cannot stand by as Lily Gray steals my limelight!
Looking at Lily Gray’s stunning, unconventionally beautiful face, Zara Lucas felt a surge of deep-seated jealousy.
“Did you see who that woman is by Mr. Wellington’s side, she was my former sister-in-law.”
Zara Lucas unabashedly pointed at Lily Gray.
“Just a dog incapable of changing its habits, she had an affair when she was with my brother. Now, she’s kept by an old man, but dares to flirt with Mr. Wellington. I don’t know how many people have worn this worn-out shoe, Mr. Wellington is really not picky.”
Zara Lucas, who grew up with Michelle Carter, was used to Michelle’s way of cursing people.
She was only thinking of venting her dissatisfaction with Lily Gray right now, and didn’t care about how it might tarnish her image in public.
Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking.
Some of the socialite ladies around her immediately changed their expressions.
Even though Lily Gray’s personal life might be questionable, and she had a poor reputation, the words that Zara Lucas spat out were too vulgar indeed.
Moreover, Mr. Wellington held a status in these socialite ladies’ hearts no less than Austin Lucas’s.
Listening to Zara Lucas trying to belittle Lily Gray but ending up defaming Mr. Wellington too, a few of them started to feel dissatisfied with her as well.
Joan Wellington standing aside was fuming with rage upon hearing this.
A clueless “Miss Lucas” dares to make immodest remarks about her brother!
Not far away, Dylan Wellington was already escorting Lily Gray into the dance floor.
The banquet hall was again filled with bright light, resonating with melodious music. Gathered around the dance floor, everyone was admiring Mr. Wellington and Lily Gray’s dance.
Joan Wellington took one look at the handsome, and glamorous pair on the dance floor, and then stepped forward, not able to resist anymore.
“Everyone knows Mr. Wellington’s picky taste in choosing female companions. Compared with Mr. Wellington’s female companions… some people’s masks are really laughable!”
“A case of sour grapes certainly. Instead of picking on others here, why not go home and take a good look at oneself in the mirror! If 1 were some people, I wouldn’t dare to be so brazen here, making a fool of myself!”
Standing by the dance floor, Joan Wellington focused on Dylan Wellington and
Lily Gray in the center, looking just like an ordinary guest judging their opening dance.
The volume of her speech was just right, so that Zara Lucas and the other socialite ladies nearby could hear.
Zara Lucas was enjoying badmouthing Lily Gray when a soft and crisp voice suddenly came from her side.
The intent behind the words was clearly aimed at her.
“Who are you saying is making a fool of herself!?” Zara Lucas was irritated by
Joan Wellington’s words and swaggered over with a group of people.
Joan Wellington was not at all frightened and snorted coldly, “Whoever’s in a rage has made a fool of themselves!”
Zara Lucas swept her eyes over Joan Wellington.
A light yellow dress, light makeup, paired with small pink diamond earrings, and no other accessories were present.
She looked dilapidated and poor.
“Humph, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me here?”
Zara Lucas scoffed and asked the other socialite ladies behind her, “Does anyone recognize this woman who talks a big game? If so, please do introduce us. Let’s see which ‘heiress’ is she from, she’s really got a mouth on her!”
Zara Lucas, simply because of her Lucas surname, believed that her status was the most prestigious here.
The dominance of the Lucas family in A City was practically unchallenged.
Of course, the dominance here only referred to the main Lucas family.
The other branches of the Lucas family were just a bit more prestigious than ordinary wealthy families.
Compared with the Wellington family, they were worth very little in comparison.
However, Zara Lucas didn’t know this. Ever since she was recognized as the daughter of the Lucas family, she swam freely in various banquets.
At this time, seeing Joan Wellington’s new face, she simply thought it was some ignorant heiress, never really bothering to consider her seriously..
