"Isn't that man Lennon Landry?" Emilia said to Kendal.
Emilia knew the information of the heirs to the big families very well, but she was surprised to see a woman whose background she knew little of hanging out with them again and again.
It was Adrian first and now, it was Lennon.
How had she made it?
"Lennon? The heir to the Landry family?" Kendal asked in disbelief.
Emilia nodded and beckoned a waiter over. "Send a bottle of the most expensive red wine to that table, and tell that gentleman that it's Miss Su's treat."
"What are you doing? Buying them wine?" Kendal shouted, "I simply want to tear that bitch apart!"
"Hush. Don't do anything stupid."
Emilia was much more tactful than Kendal. She hated Aleigha too, but it wasn't wise to show it in front of Lennon.
Aleigha looked uninterested when the wine was served. It wasn't for her anyway.
But she knew Emilia was up to something, so she just waited patiently for her to show up.
Sure enough, when Lennon nodded at Emilia as a gesture of saying thank you, she rose to her feet and walked to them.
Aleigha sneered and shook her head. Emilia was so easy to see through.
"Hello, Mr. Landry. I've heard a lot about you. My name is Emilia."
"Hello, thank you for your wine."
Lennon was very polite and his rich baritone made him very charming. In addition to his good looking, he was from a distinguished family and well educated, which made him the dreamboat for almost every woman.
But not for Aleigha. She had learned to her cost that love only led to heartbreaking disasters.
Lennon didn't invite Emilia to join them so she just stood beside them with her impeccable smile.
"Oh, sorry I didn't see you just now," Emilia said to Aleigha as if she'd just noticed her, "forgive me if I interrupted you."
She said this on purpose and Aleigha knew it.
"How careless of you," Aleigha snapped, "Maybe there's something wrong with your eyes?"
"B*tch! How dare you be so rude to Emilia!"
Kendal screamed and rushed over with her arms flailing in the air.
And before she got near, Aleigha grabbed her glass on the table and flung it at her.
A thud was heard.
Kendal fell to the ground, her hands on her head, wailing. Aleigha looked at her with indifferent eyes.
Emilia stiffened on the spot. Lennon was also shocked by Aleigha's sudden strike.
"Miss Reid, has your family never taught you about manners?" Aleigha asked.
She had been a marshmallow in her previous life and she was done with that.
She would not tolerate them anymore in this life.
"Take her to the hospital before she bleeds to death," Aleigha reminded Emilia, who was numb with shock.
Emilia collected her senses and scowled at Aleigha before she hurried to Kendal and helped her up.
"Emilia, am I going to die? I don't want to die. I haven't married Adrian."
