These cups are quite small, drinking one after another doesn’t feel like much at all.
Bella Acker realized a little too late that without noticing, she had already drunk four or five cups, and her head was getting a bit dizzy. Could this be alcohol?
Is there any wine this sweet?
Bella Acker glanced around but couldn’t make out anything peculiar. The hall was still bustling with noise, and everyone seed to know each other, leaving her as the only outsider.
Bella Acker lowered her gaze, no longer observing the people around her, deciding to go out for so fresh air.
She exited through a small side door in the hall to the garden at the back. As she left the warm indoors, a rush of cold air hit her face.
Bella Acker wrapped her coat tighter around herself and sat down on a bench in the garden, not venturing too far, so Damian would still find her when he ca out.
"Ha, I thought you seed familiar from a distance, and it really is you." A sowhat familiar voice ca from behind.
Bella Acker frowned and looked back to see Vivian Norris holding onto Jaden Lynch’s arm, looking at her with a sneer.
Jaden Lynch turned his head to ask Vivian Norris, "Is this the little newcor you were talking about?"
"Yes," Vivian Norris replied coldly with a smile, "All the troubles I’m facing now are because of her. Young Master Lynch, do you think I can swallow this anger?"
"You absolutely can’t." Jaden Lynch pulled Vivian Norris closer, saying, "You’re my woman, Vivian. If I let little nobodies bully you, how am I supposed to keep my standing in the industry?"
Vivian Norris smiled tenderly at this, "Hearing you say that, knowing you truly care for is enough."
"Of course!" After pacifying Vivian Norris, Jaden Lynch lifted his chin and spoke to Bella Acker, "Hey, you have two choices. Either apologize to Vivi right now and vanish from her sights forever, or I’ll make sure you’re banned from the entertainnt industry for good. Your choice."
Bella Acker frowned coldly. Vivian Norris talked about admiring Damian while sweet-talking and flirting with Jaden Lynch, shalessly moving between n. Doesn’t she care about losing face?
"What? Don’t want to choose?" Seeing her not answer, Jaden Lynch sneered dismissively, "Not choosing is fine too; those two options can be rged. You apologize to our Vivi first, and then I’ll ban you entirely. Vivi, how about that?"
Vivian Norris smiled, "Young Master Lynch, isn’t that a bit too much?"
"How is it too much? I think it’s not enough. You, you’re too kind-hearted, letting such a little newcor bully you." Jaden Lynch said, "Don’t worry about this, I’ll avenge you."
"Alright, then you help out." Vivian Norris leaned closer to Jaden Lynch, whispering, "I’ll thank you properly later."
The two exchanged an intimate look, understanding each other’s intentions.
Bella Acker felt nauseated watching them and had no interest in wasting words on them, so she turned to leave.
Vivian Norris saw her trying to leave and quickly stepped forward to block her path, eyeing her dress up and down with a smile carrying ulterior motives, "I was wondering how you got the third female lead. I guess you’re here with your sugar daddy today?"
Today’s gala wasn’t sothing just anyone could attend.
Bella Acker looked at her coldly, "Don’t assu everyone is like you. Get out of the way!"
"What did you say?! Say it again if you dare!" Vivian Norris’s face turned livid with anger.
