Shannon Sheffield immediately sneered and said, "Eleanor Sterling, you know that Master Anne wants to sue you, yet you deliberately gave me that necklace at such an occasion. Are you trying to make me look like a fool?"
Convinced that Eleanor did it on purpose, Shannon’s eyes gleamed with malice. Since Eleanor was eager to embarrass herself, Shannon had no need to be polite!
Shannon’s face was full of disdain as she continued, "Your design is indeed quite good, but I won’t wear a necklace like that. It’s simply beneath my dignity."
With a face full of contempt, she snorted, "I remember I didn’t give you an invitation."
Faye Sterling saw Eleanor actually made the necklace and even gave it to Shannon, a glint of glee flashed in her eyes.
Fool! Eleanor Sterling really is brainless. Does she think that doing this can surpass her? Truly foolish.
Eleanor’s lips curled slightly as she took out a gilded invitation card, speaking slowly, "You didn’t give me an invitation, but someone else invited me."
Shannon was taken aback; Eleanor really had an invitation?
At this moment, Faye stepped forward, wearing a look of apology.
"Miss Sheffield, I’m sorry, I invited Eleanor because her design didn’t make the cut, so she wanted to see the finished product of my design to learn from it."
It looked as if Faye was helping Eleanor, but in reality, she was seizing the chance to mock her.
Everyone knew the reason why Eleanor’s design was not selected. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveIꜰire.net
Eleanor had long guessed that Faye would play tricks, but she didn’t expect her to show off so impatiently as soon as she appeared.
Shannon snorted coldly and said, "Since you have an invitation, just stay on the side quietly, and don’t force yourself into the spotlight to annoy everyone."
Eleanor’s grand entrance made it seem like she was the main character to those who didn’t know any better.
She even wanted to gift her a necklace, truly shameless!
Faye gently advised, "Sister, you should be more low-key. Today is Miss Sheffield’s special day, and granting you the invitation was already overstepping."
Eleanor smiled faintly and said slowly, "Who said it was you who gave me the invitation?"
Be low-key? Impossible! She came today specifically to slap Faye in the face.
"What?" Faye was stunned.
Besides her, who else would give Eleanor an invitation?
But the one she held was indeed the invitation for the Sheffield’s event, but on a closer look...
It didn’t seem to be the one she had given.
Shannon also looked puzzled. She took Eleanor’s invitation and opened it to have a look.
The next second, Shannon looked shocked.
Faye curiously took it and had a look herself. After reading the content, her face immediately turned sour.
"See clearly?" Eleanor looked at their sudden change of expression with a subtle smile.
This invitation was given by Alaric Faulkner.
Even though she wished to sever ties with him, when necessary, she could still borrow his name to make her presence felt.
As for the invitation Faye gave, it had already been used by Micah Moss.
Several heiresses curiously asked, "What’s that about? Faye, whose invitation is that?"
"Yeah, why are you all so shocked?"
Faye clenched the invitation, her emotions in turmoil, yet she forced a cheerful smile.
"Nothing, just an ordinary invitation."
She looked at Eleanor with eyes so sharp as if she wanted to kill her.
Even she hadn’t managed to attend as Alaric Faulkner’s female companion, instead attending as a Sterling Family heiress.
Eleanor Sterling, how dare she!
Thinking of how Eleanor used to cozy up to Alaric, Faye’s expression turned dark, her grip wrinkling the invitation card.
That invitation card must not be seen by others; otherwise, she, as the so-called Mrs. Faulkner, would be utterly embarrassed and ridiculed by everyone.
Eleanor didn’t care; it was just a piece of waste paper now, and making Faye angry was enough.
Faye took a deep breath to steady her emotions.
She looked at the box in Eleanor’s hand and spoke, "Sister, I know you’re unwilling to accept your design’s rejection, which is why you found a way to attend the event.
But the Sheffield Family chose my design, and even if you made it, it’s useless since this design also got you involved in a lawsuit..."
