The Valentino family was still holding grudges towards Aleigha for what she had done.
It was not until Mrs. Fulton left City A that Raquel finally had a chance to catch up with her breath.
She had never regarded the wealthy businessmen of City A as on the same level as her, the mayor's wife.
She couldn't just go to every party that she was invited to by some certain businessman.
Raquel didn't come from a rich family, but it didn't mean that she didn't know the dirty laundry her husband had with all the businessmen in the city.
Now that the situation was so tight that a single leakage of information about their dirty work could mean the whole family's total destruction.
She certainly understood that it was better to be safe than sorry.
Although the appearance of Aleigha was quite displeasing to the eye, she had to endure it, not showing the slightest tinge of unhappiness."
"Yes, what a coincidence." Raquel's forced smile was so embarrassing. Even her hand holding Valentino was shaking.
She was so angry that she felt uncomfortable all over.
Lauren's dress today was rather too serious, which made her look a little bit rigid.
She was not on the same level as Emilee at all.
And for women, such a slight difference could mean war at full scale.
For example, although Isaias didn't look at Emilee, Lauren still got angry because of the clothes the two wore.
Today, Isaias was wearing a black suit and a white shirt.
It was simple and quite elegant, which happened to coincide with Emilee's pure white dress. On the contrary, it was Lauren, who was dressed in gray and blue, who looked like an outsider.
"Where is the bathroom?" Lauren asked in a low voice.
Emilee smiled softly, stepped forward, and took the initiative to say, "Follow me, Miss Hammond."
As soon as Emilee opened her mouth, her tender voice was almost intoxicating.
Even Aleigha, who was standing aside, could not help but applause in her heart.
She didn't want Emilee to get involved, but she had no choice this time.
Although she only let out a small part of her plan to Emilee, she must have guessed what she wanted to do, since she was taking the initiative to help her out.
Lauren was unwilling to go with Emilee at all and her reluctance was written all over her face. Yet she couldn't show it off too obvious in front of all the people.
She had to follow Emilee to the bathroom with a gloomy face.
Isaias also followed up.
Valentino and his wife didn't like Aleigha at all. They all knew how tricky this little girl could be.
They were quite astounded to see her here. But they comforted themselves by thinking she wouldn't do anything at Tanner's banquet.
Raquel was nervous and careful. She didn't tell Valentino about Windy at all.
If Valentino were to find out, she knew what could befall her.
A few days ago, Brenda disappeared. She was informed that before she disappeared, she had a few meetings with Aleigha.
She had thought that things would go south really quick but nothing actually happened. She was finally relieved and took it all out on Brenda.
When she saw Aleigha, she was in a panic, but her face was unusually calm as she observed Aleigha's every move.
She did not believe that such a little girl, who was still wet behind the ears, would be able to dig out the evidence.
It's impossible. It's just impossible.
After Lauren went into the bathroom, Emilee stood outside and waited. Isaias came over.
Then he kept his eyes on her.
He had seen too many rich and powerful girls, and ones that were not, but never once in his life had he see a girl like this.
This girl was almost a fairy, standing there with her elegant and otherworldly charm.
And what attracted Isaias the most was the tender and gentle voice of hers.
