Chapter 430: Chapter 433 Dog Bites Dog (2)
“So you must be Lily’s aunt…” Brandon Lucas stood up, nonchalantly giving a vague response.
However, Michelle Carter, who was standing next to him, said sarcastically: “I thought I saw wrong, but it turns out to be Madam Gray’s family indeed.”
“But Miss Gray, you are too brazen. This is Mrs. Lucas’s banquet. How could you just come here? Don’t blame me for not warning you in advance… Given the relationship between Lily Gray and Mr. Lucas, aren’t you afraid Mrs. Lucas will take her anger out on you all!”
Rowena Gray deciphered the meaning behind Michelle Carter’s words, and with an air of profundity replied, “Mrs. Lucas IV, you’re overthinking. We came here today because we received an invitation. You should understand from the seats we are sitting in… Ah, Mrs. Lucas is too kind, arranging for us to sit in such a prominent position.”
She spoke modestly, but the smug expression on her face did not diminish in the least.
Seeing the jealousy and hatred simmering in Michelle Carter’s eyes after hearing her words, Rowena’s smile deepened.
“Oh, this is my daughter, Milly Gray…” Rowena introduced Milly who was behind her.
“Milly, say hello to Uncle and Auntie Lucas.”
Milly politely nodded at the two, showing a gracious smile, “Hello, Uncle Lucas. Hello, Auntie Lucas.”
Milly had a pleasing figure and two adorable dimples on her face. Dressed in pink, her laughter seemed youthful and cute.
This kind of girl, was exactly the type these wives from wealthy families liked.
Upon seeing this, Brandon Lucas and Michelle Carter involuntarily looked at Zara Lowe standing beside them.
Compared to the seemingly pure and adorable Milly, Zara immediately looked inferior.
Brandon Lucas’s face darkened further.
Rowena still didn’t forget to keep flaunting.
“Our Milly is really quite good. Since we entered, there have been other noble ladies looking at her. Alas, it’s a pity… Milly has caught Mrs. Lucas’s eye. Look, Mrs. Lucas arranged our seating today. Otherwise, I really wanted to establish a family alliance with those noble ladies.”
“Miss Gray, don’t talk too big… You said you caught Mrs. Lucas’s eye, I think that’s just your own assumption!”
Michelle Carter couldn’t swallow this anger anymore, disregarding Brandon’s previous warning, she directly fought back.
“Wiry would I joke about such things!”
Rowena laughed behind her hand, “You can tell by the seating arrangement… Ah, I used to think Lily Gray married a good family. But coming here, I got an eye-opener.”
“Mrs. Lucas IV, you’re seated at table ten, which is farther than my seat at the second table, and I’m an outsider!”
“You shameless slut, what did you just say— ” Michelle Carter was truly enraged this time, forgetting Brandon’s warning immediately.
“You bitch, I’ll kill you!” She viciously lunged at Rowena, pushing her shoulder.
Rowena came over to gain just a verbal advantage.
She never expected that Michelle Carter would dare to actually lay hands on her in such a scenario.
“You—” she didn’t have time to react before she was pushed backward and stumbled.
Rowena was wearing a pair of black high heels tonight.
The slender heel sunk deep into the plush carpet.
She lost control of her body and fell backward.
In the nick of time, a steady large hand caught her waist.
“God… you scared me…” Rowena patted her chest and instinctively clung to the person who caught her.
As soon as she regained her footing, a calm and steady voice sounded over her head.
“What’s going on?”
