Chapter 360
The ladies in the banquet hall, upon witnessing this scene, thought that Harriet was getting too close to Vernon. They couldn't help but
mock her.
However, things didn’t go as expected.
In the face of Vernon's anger, Harriet smirked even more disdainfully.
“You're just a loser, Vernon. You’re unworthy of talking to me like this,This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
she said.
She shoved Vernon away, grabbed a bottle of champagne from the nearby table, and poured it all over his head. “How dare you?” Vernon fumed, intending to hit her.
But before he could lay a hand on Harriet, he was knocked over by a man in black-framed glasses. “How dare you touch her? Do you have a death wish?” Delbert shielded Harriet and glared at Vernon. He had been absent for just a while, and Vernon took his chance to bully Harriet. It was outrageous. When more and more guests noticed the commotion, Harriet led Delbert to leave.
“Don’t mind him! Let’s go!” she said.
Vernon came to his senses and got to his feet. He watched them leave with red eyes.
He recognized the man as Darryl, who had an affair with Harriet.
He couldn't believe that Harriet would rather like such a man than
show him any kindness.
When they returned to the banquet, Delbert’s cold gaze behind his glasses was terrifying. No one dared to gossip behind their backs again.
The charity party started after the inauguration ceremony. After Blake spoke a few words on stage, it was time for Harriet to announce the start of the party. Harriet put down her champagne, nodded to Delbert, and gracefully walked toward the center of the stage.
Originally, the nod between her and Delbert was just an ordinary gesture. But in the eyes of those wealthy ladies who had long been displeased with Harriet, it took on a different meaning.
“Look, she’s flirting with her lover again. How shameful!”
“It seems like we need to teach her a lesson today and let her know, that beauty is worthless in Meawood City. Otherwise, she will think that she can charm any man with her tricks,” said the same lady resentfully, who had just been scolded by Harriet.
Despite the noisy environment, Harriet heard her words.
Harriet ground her teeth, and her look turned fierce.
It was her inauguration ceremony today, and she didn’t want to cause trouble. Unfortunately, these people didn’t know their limits, and she had to deal with them.
When Harriet walked past them, the diamonds on the wealthy lady’s high heels flashed. It wasn’t a natural reflection of light. It was deliberate. Dazzled by it, Harriet leaned over and stepped on the foot of the lady, who was trying to trip her.
