In fact, if it hadn’t been for Lawrence declaring to settle her residence back in the castle in Yluria, she might have been thrown out by now.
How hateful! Tessa Winters clenched her fists, her mood instantly gloomy. She was so full of ambition three months ago, but now… she was unsure of herself. She did not understand why Lawrence choose her among many others and kept her when he does not meet her or take care of her.
At that time, among all the socialites and beautiful women, if she wasn’t singled out because she was special, she wouldn’t believe it herself.
Though she was churning inside, she maintained her prideful smile on the outside, and dismissively declined, “He is really busy, he doesn’t have the time. When there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you.”
All the women she was with knew that it was just a polite excuse, but since they had to depend on Tessa for benefits, they could only suppress their jealousy, and force a smile, “Alright, you better make sure to introduce us next time.”
“By the way, Tiffany, where are we going later?”
“Just the nearby Commercial Street, I want to check out some new arrivals. It’s all Lawrence’s properties so as long as I’m there, I won’t be charged anything.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked disappointed. One of them couldn’t help but say, “Not Commercial Street again, we always go there, I’m getting tired of it. Let’s change the place today.”
The words stung Tessa’s ears. She glared at the innocent Enna, unable to vent her accumulated frustration.
She also wanted to change the place. She had already chosen a ‘fat sheep’ to slaughter, but that sheep didn’t show up and instead sent her a penniless subordinate to fill up the numbers. And she had to tolerate it, to save face.
Someone who noticed Tessa’s unhappy expression immediately tried to smooth things over, “Why change? I think shopping nearby is good. I saw a bag last time and I want to check it out again today.”
After hearing this, Tessa finally lightened up. “Aria, what kind of bag did you like? I’ll buy it for you.”
“Really?! Thank you, dear.” Aria exclaimed in surprise.
After all, any bag on Commercial Street costs thousands, Tessa is being very generous, how could she not be happy?
“Really. We’ve finished our drinks, let’s go check out your bag. If it’s nice, I’ll buy one too.” This store is also Lawrence’s, she doesn’t have to pay at all.
Tessa picked up her bag, and proudly walked in front. Enna also got up to follow, breathing a sigh of relief – at least she wouldn’t have to listen to anymore…
Just when they were about to leave, there suddenly was a commotion in front of them.
“You harlot, daring to have an affair with my man!” A woman’s outraged voice accompanied with the sound of slapping and screams came over.
They saw a crowd of people not far from them, the woman who was cursing was a middle-aged lady, who while pulling a woman’s hair by her side, was cursing non-stop.
“I won’t let you ruin my marriage! Sending shameless text messages in the middle of the night!”
“You shameless woman! Look at you, so much like a vixen, since you like sleeping with men so much, would you like me to find some for you?”
There were a few people standing by her side, perhaps her best friends, who occasionally would help her swearing and pinching the mistress.
Such a lively scene..
