I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 171 1/2

The incident at the Freeman mansion still haunted Erin. Initially, she did not expect to lose, which was why she confidently made the bet. Unfortunately for her, she had lost, and fear soon consumed her.

The last time, Erin had only embarrassed herself in front of the servants in the Freeman mansion, and they were all bound by the confidentiality agreements. Hence, she could still throw a fit there without any repercussions.

After all, who would dare to criticize her in that situation?

Nonetheless, the circumstances were different now. How would she ever maintain her status in upper—class society if she were to kneel and kowtow to Sheena in front of so many outsiders?

There was no way she would kneel! Erin hid behind Faye, unwillingly defending herself, “I was just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

With hands in his pockets, Skye taunted, “You lost the bet, and now you're a sore loser. Who would have thought the Freeman family were a bunch of shameless creatures.”

Faye was utterly confused by the scolding. After asking Erin, she learned about her bet with Sheena and tried to smooth things over, persuading Sheena, “Sheena, we should live and let live. Erin is still young. How could a child’s playful joke count? Besides, aren’t you just humiliating her by doing this?”

Sheena countered with a smile, saying, “If the bet was in your favor, would you let go of the chance to humiliate me?” Of course not!

Since their divorce, Faye thought Sheena did not respect her as her former mother-in-law, and she dreamed of giving her a piece of her mind!

However, she could not say that aloud.

With a gentle smile, Faye was about to speak, but Erin interrupted, “How can you compare the two? I’m the heiress of the Freeman family! What are you? Of course, my reputation is more important than yours!”

With that, Sheena’s expression darkened completely.

“If you dare to bet, you must be willing to accept the consequences of losing. Madam Freeman, you keep saying that Ms. Freeman is still a child, but have you forgotten that she’s already an adult? She’s accountable for the words she says!”

Sarah, who had stepped down from the stage, chimed in. She approached and continued the argument, “If Ms. Freeman doesn’t honor the bet and tries to back out, her reputation in the upper-class society might suffer quite a blow.”

“This is none of your business!” Erin tugged at Faye’s arm, glaring at Sarah. Chapter 171

Faye glanced at both Sheena and Sarah, feeling suspicious. “Ms. Peterson, you’re taking her side right off the bat. Do you know each other well?*.

“lm merely stating a fact,” replied Sarah. She did not look at Sheena, and both of them were like strangers.

Faye briefly examined the two but did not dwell on it.

Erin, however, flew into a rage, screaming, “I don’t care! The previous bet doesn’t count! I'll never bow down to you, bitch!” With that, she pushed past Skye, determined to leave the venue.

Sheena’s eyes flickered coldly, saying, “You won't have a say in this.

Before Erin could react, a sudden pain struck the back of her knees.

“Al”

Erin lost her balance and fell on all fours before Sheena. Skye and Sarah burst into laughter.

Erin’s posture was utterly embarrassing! If she had simply kneeled and kowtowed as she should, perhaps she would not be in such a sorry state.

Sheena looked at Erin on the floor, smirking. “Good girl, you’re so obedient! Remember this next time, and don’t take bets lightly.”

Erin struggled to get up from the ground, but the pain in her knee left her unable to exert any force. Her hands slipped, causing her to kneel again.

Skye was nearly doubled over in laughter. Unfortunately, most attendees had left the scene, leaving only a few witnesses to Erin’s embarrassing moment. Nevertheless, they were afraid to offend the Freeman family and only dared to stifle their laughter.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Erin was both embarrassed and furious. “How dare you ambush me?!”
