The Foster Family held decent status in Aethelburg, so Sarah was constantly surrounded by an entourage of opportunistic socialites.
Hearing that Sarah was coming to Lumiere City to catch her cheating boyfriend, the girls had been practically vibrating with excitement for the drama.
A few of them lunged forward, grabbed Natalia by the hair, and began slapping her violently from both sides.
Landon, who had planned on turning Andres into a public laughingstock, suddenly found himself the center of a humiliating circus.
He grabbed Sarah's wrist forcefully and roared, "Sarah, tell your friends to stop right now!"
This stupid woman had brought a mob just to ruin everything!
Sarah shoved him away, pointed a shaking finger at the battered Natalia, and screamed, "If you're going to cheat on me, could you at least find someone with a shred of class?!"
"Open your damn eyes! Look at her! How could you even stomach that?!"
Landon scrambled to explain.
"It's not what you think!"
He had brought Natalia to the Skyward Summit for a very specific strategic reason.
But Sarah wasn't listening to a word of it.
If someone hadn't anonymously tipped her off that Landon was bringing Natalia to the summit, she would have had no idea she was being played.
"Landon Hart, tell me the truth! How long have you been sleeping with this tramp?!"
Landon swallowed his rage and tried to defend himself.
"Natalia and I are just friends."
Sarah shrieked at the top of her lungs.
"The Skyward Summit is the most important event of the year, and you brought a 'just friend'?!"
She pointed a rigid finger at her own chest. "Then what the hell am I?!"
Meanwhile, the pack of socialites had ripped Natalia's hair out of its styling, torn her dress, and smeared her makeup.
But Natalia was never one to just roll over and take a beating.
A moment ago, she had been a fragile porcelain doll who nearly shattered from Murray's gentle push.
Now, facing a mob of furious women, she erupted into a violent counterattack.
Murray was utterly brainwashed; he just had to compare everyone to Maeve.
Obviously, Natalia wasn't even worth mentioning in the same breath as Miss Vance.
Hans leaned over and whispered to Andres.
"So, Boss, is the show to your liking?"
Hans deeply admired his boss's ruthless strategic mind.
When Andres found out Landon was on the invite list and was bringing Natalia, he knew Landon would try to pull a stunt.
Watching Landon's meticulously laid plans blow up in his face, Andres suddenly thought of Maeve again.
When his Maeve orchestrated someone's downfall, did she stand on the sidelines and watch the chaos with this same level of amusement?
Thinking of her put Andres in an exceptionally good mood, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"Not only is it a great show, it's highly entertaining."
It was exactly as the old saying went: When dogs bite dogs, all you get is a mess of fur and teeth.
