It was late at night.
The distant mountain forest and the night merged into each other. A crescent moon hung above a few wisps of clouds.
The villa of the Amery Family in Lonton City was smaller than that in their motherland. However, there were also three floors. Abby's room was in the south of the top floor.
It was quiet at night. The others had returned to their rooms one after another, and the servants had already rested.
Abby had no intention of sleeping.
She sat in front of the dressing table. Her delicate features were reflected in the mirror, but there was no light in her eyes.
After dinner, when Abby went upstairs, she heard the discussion of Old Master Amery and Bill. They were enthusiastically discussing how to hold a grand banquet to make Tina, the only true descendant of the Amery family, public.
Beside them, Lin smiled and reminded them that Tina didn't care about these things and they just needed to find a suitable time after returning home...
Abby returned to the room with a sullen face.
From the first time she knew about Tina's existence, her perfect life trajectory seemed to have been completely disrupted, and everything was out of her control.
She lost Wilson, her career, and the identity as the only young lady of the Amery family...
At the thought of this, Abby couldn't sleep and couldn't calm down.
She had to make Tina lose something.
Abby sat there for about an hour.
The whole villa seemed to be quieter.
Abby looked at the time and stood up. Instead of going to sleep, she went into the dressing room, changed into a new set of clothes, and left the villa quietly.
The taxi stopped at the corner of an alley.
After giving a tip, Abby got out of the car with her handbag in her hands.
In the middle of the night, it was the time to get drunk. There were rows of nightclubs in the alley.
Abby entered one of them.
Inside overcoat, she wore a slip shirt and a leather miniskirt, revealing her beautiful legs. She was dressed for a night club, but she always looked elegant and noble. She had been trained like this since she entered the Amery Family.
Compared with the simple sign outside, there was another world inside.
There were two or three stories underground, and the music was deafening. The dance floor was full of twisted men and women.
Abby walked to the bar counter inside, pulled out a high chair and sat on it. She ordered a cup of cocktail casually, but did not drink it. She put her hand on the table and knocked on it. From time to time, she looked down at her watch.
After a while, a thin foreign man sneaked toward her.
His hair was a little long, messy and grubby. His eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were dull. From time to time, he looked around and covered his chest with one hand. His exposed skin was covered with needle holes.
He approached her and asked in a low voice, "Miss Amery?"
Abby frowned and asked, "Bart?"
After the man nodded, she did not want to talk nonsense. "Where's the thing I want?"
The man put his hand that covered his chest into the inner pocket of his clothes and took out a palm-sized transparent plastic bag. Under the light, one could vaguely see white powder inside.
Abby took it.
...
The GDA International Fashion Exhibition was held for two days.
Tina's design gained a lot of praise.
This time, she had gained a lot. Not only her, but also the STS Studio behind her emerged on the world stage. Their future was bright.
