Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 30: Were You Teased?

Gianna got back into the living hall.

The lights in the living were turned on.

The dance ended. The party turned into a regular social party again.

Alexander and Fiona were making a toast to the guests who came. It was a lively event.

Gianna looked around and found Maureen. Then, she approached Maureen.

Maureen was holding Brandon’s arm, and they were chatting. It looked like they were having a great time.

“Gianna, where were you?” Maureen complained as she saw Gianna walking over.

Gianna was nowhere to be found the moment the lights went on.

Initially, Maureen wanted to praise Gianna for stop keeping a low profile.

Maureen told Gianna before that Fiona was pretty and her beauty shouldn’t be covered by plainness. Gianna and Fiona both won’t listen to her before.

Look now.

Fiona surprised everyone just by putting on the right dress and makeup.

So many people were envious of Fiona.

“I went to the bathroom,” Gianna lied.

“I see,” Maureen never doubted Gianna. Suddenly, something caught Maureen’s attention, “What happened to your ear?”

“What?” Gianna was startled.

“This one,” Maureen pointed at Gianna’s left ear.

It was the one Kingsley bit just now.

“Were you teased? It’s so red. Are you blushing?” Maureen asked.

Gianna felt embarrassed.

Can’t Maureen keep her mouth shut or say something nice?

Brandon felt funny, “Those unique words you used, why didn’t you use them in your essay when you’re in school?”

Maureen’s tutor was surprised at how bad Maureen’s essay was, considering her rich vocabulary.

To be exact, all of her homework was bad.

“Do you think I’d meet you if my essays were good?” Maureen quibbled.

Maureen and Brandon had been together since high school.

There was a tuition class at school, and the top students in the junior year were going to help the sophomore in their studies.

Brandon was a top student in junior year, and Maureen was the sophomore who did badly in her exams back then.

Their stories became a legend in their school.

Gianna used to feel envious of Maureen.

Gianna thought Maureen was so brave. As long as Maureen liked a person, she wouldn’t care what the person had or didn’t have. If Maureen wanted to be with him, she will be with him.

George didn’t approve of their relationship at first.

First of all, Maureen was still young. Being in a relationship in her sophomore year was too early for her.

Secondly, Brandon didn’t come from a wealthy family.

Brandon was an orphan. He could afford to get into an elite school for free only because of his excellent academic result.

Even if Maureen’s academic results were bad, Brandon wouldn’t be a match for Maureen considering her family background.

But Maureen threatened to commit suicide.

George loved Maureen dearly since she was born. Maybe he felt guilty about what happened to Maureen’s mother. George could hardly reject any request from Maureen, so he had no choice but to accept the fact that Maureen and Brandon were in a relationship.

It was a good thing that Brandon was a hardworking and self-motivated person. He got into the best university in Country B, the University of Finance, after graduating from high school. Upon his graduation from University of Finance, he got a job in XH Bank and became George’s, right-hand man.

Gianna stared at Brandon.

If Gianna wasn’t reborn, she wouldn’t know Brandon was carrying a cruel objective when he approached Maureen from the start.

“Maureen,” Gianna stopped Maureen and Brandon from flirting with each other.

Maureen turned around and looked at Gianna.

“Come with me?” Gianna said.

“Sure,” Maureen let go of Brandon’s arm, “Are you alright alone?”

In fact, Maureen wasn’t a careless person as she might seem to be. She cared a lot about Brandon. Maureen knew Brandon might feel a little inferior because of his background. Therefore, Maureen would usually take care of him in social events like this.

“I’m alright,” Brandon said, “I saw someone I knew. I might go and have a little chat with them.”

“Sure,” Maureen smiled.

Gianna held Maureen’s hand and left the scene.

Maureen was curious, “What’s going on? What’s the rush?”

“You didn’t forget what I told you, right?”

“10 p.m. I remember,” Maureen felt speechless, “I have never forgotten anything you told me.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Gianna smiled, “Good girl. I’m rewarding you.”

“Don’t scare me, Gianna,” Maureen was judging Gianna.

Maureen felt like something was different about Gianna.

Gianna didn’t wait for Maureen to reject her offer. She quickly led Maureen and walked past Caesar on purpose.

“Gianna,” Caesar stopped Gianna.

Gianna smiled.

She turned around, “Caesar, it’s my mother’s birthday today. I’m a bit overwhelmed. Sorry for not having the time to talk to you.”

Maureen rolled her eyes beside Gianna.

Since when Gianna knew how to put on an act?

Gianna was going to cancel her wedding after a month, and she was pretending that she still loved Caesar?

Maureen knew Kingsley was handsome, but Caesar was good looking too.

What went into Gianna’s mind?

“It’s a great birthday party tonight. I never knew Fiona could look so good,” Caesar praised.

He looked sincere.

Gianna sneered in her heart.

What an act Caesar put on.

Gianna saw Lindsay’s face. She almost couldn’t withhold her anger and jealousy.

Gianna figured that Lindsay came to embarrassed Fiona at the party. However, Fiona outperformed Lindsay.

It was safe to say, those rich wives who came to the birthday party tonight and once looked down on Fiona were humiliated and taught a lesson.

“You’re not busy now, are you? Shall we go and see my parents? Bernice’s here too. She wanted to apologize to you, face to face,” Gianna wasn’t showing much interest in him, so he quickly mentioned his family.

Gianna looked in a direction from afar.

People from the four wealthiest families gathered at that place.

Gianna smiled, “Sure.”

She walked over after Caesar, along with Maureen.

Three of them obeyed the rules and didn’t interrupt the chatters of their parents.

Suddenly, Alexander said, “Fiona, just before you came down, Lindsay said she has a present for you.”

Fiona smiled at Lindsay.

Lindsay had to fake a smile.

The present Lindsay prepared was to show off her elegance and civility. She wanted to humiliate Fiona and made people compare Fiona to her.

Lindsay had no mood to give Fiona any present now that Fiona looked so pretty and elegant. Lindsay was furious.

But Lindsay couldn’t take back what she said.

Lindsay took out a bracelet from her delicate purse. The bracelet came with a thick chain, and it looked plain. It wasn’t an exquisite gift, “I saw it when I went shopping earlier. I thought it fits you well, so I bought it for you. You want to try it out?”

Then, Lindsay kindly put on the bracelet for Fiona.

To be honest, the bracelets didn’t look nice at all.

Fiona was magnanimous. She said, “It’s beautiful. I liked it.”

“I knew you would,” Lindsay quickly said.

Lindsay still looked down on Fiona in her heart.

She still thought Fiona had no fashion sense.

Lindsay wondered who picked the gown Fiona was wearing for her. The gown was mesmerizing.

Lindsay couldn’t even tell which designer the gown was from.

Lindsay didn’t see this gown when she went to pick out her down yesterday. She was so sure that she had already viewed all gowns from all designers.

The gown Fiona was wearing stood out from all the other gowns she saw.

Lindsay had to know which designer it was from. She won’t allow Fiona to steal her thunder next time.
