The party started.
In the middle of the hall, the lights were colorful. They looked like pearls and diamonds. On the dance floor, the handsome young man and his beautiful partner danced elegantly.
Outside the dance floor, Jay drank and mingled with the guest. The way he drank was bold and unruly. He also looked sexy and elegant. His entire body radiated the air of a noble prince. One would be mesmerized by him. Countless socialites were surrounding him. They were wearing expensive dresses and limited edition jewelry. They looked extremely posh.
Rose sat at one corner. She looked reserved. Despite her best efforts to hide in the dark, she was dressed too beautiful today. Plus, her temperament stood out i n the crowd. She was extremely dazzling like a shiny body in the dark.
Occasionally, men would walk over her and invite her enthusiastically. "Miss, can you do me the honor of dancing with me?"
Rose would reject all of them. "I'm sorry, I don't know how."
It was not that she did not know how to dance. She was great at dancing. She just did not want to dance with men she did not like.
In her previous life, she had danced to Swan Lake with Jay. There was non-stop applause and cheer coming from the crowd. Their praises still lingered in her ears. 'They're such a perfect match for each other,' they had said.
However, her excuse was too pathetic. The women who were able to get into the Ares household were all well-educated. Women who did not know how to dance would be incompatible with this environment.
"Hehe." Someone sneered.
Rose did not need to turn around to know who that was. She did not expect to meet Sydney here.
"Oh Rose, it’s been so many years, but you haven't made any progress. Since you don't know how to dance, don’t you think it’s embarrassing to come to a party for the upper-class?
Sydney walked in front of Rose and swirled the wine i n her glass. She looked at Rose in disdain.
A group of women followed behind her. They were going along with Sydney's taunts as if they were wishing for the whole world to be in chaos. "Right, you don’t know how to dance, and yet you're still here. Are you trying to score free food?"
