"Me?" Sydney smiled. "Tell me, how did I make you wear that? Did I go to your house with all that and force you?"
"You didn't come to my house. You did it in the boutique!" Lyra clenched her fist as she said.
The corners of Sydney's mouth lifted further. "Really? In the boutique? I don't remember asking you to wear these in the boutique.”
"It was you and Sharon Campbell! You both said that these will go well with the gown, so I..."
Sydney burst out laughing.
Luke, Hunter, and Cayden could not contain their laughter as well.
Mrs. Leigh shook her head in disdain.
Among them, only Julien, Brandon, and Kate did not laugh.
Kate lowered her head further.
Brandon wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
How could his daughter be this stupid?
"What are you laughing at?" Lyra clenched her fists as she stared at Sydney and the rest in anger.
Luke rubbed his cheeks from laughing too hard."
Nothing. It's just that we've never met such a stupid fool like you. You wore these just because someone said it looks good? Don’t you have any brains yourself?”
"If she has brains, then she will not appear dressed like this,” Layden said in his usual gentle tone, but there was also coldness in his voice.
"You... You...” Lyra was trembling at his point.
Julien tightened his hand on Lyra's shoulder." Enough, Lyra. Don't make a scene.”
"Julien... They are calling me stupid! Whose side are you on? You even ask me not to make a scene?" Lyra widened her eyes and stared at Julien with bitterness.
Brandon was also upset at Julien.
Julien pursed his lips. Just as he was about to answer them, Sydney interrupted him.
"Ms. Madden, I did speak to Sharon about this in the boutique, but I didn't suggest it to you, nor did I ask you to put it on. You and I are enemies, so how would it be possible for me to give any suggestions? I didn't expect you to eavesdrop on us and wear these animal products just as we discussed.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? You and Sharon spoke so loudly! You did this on purpose! You set a trap for me,” Lyra roared.
Hunter rolled his eyes. "Do you have evidence for that? If not, stop pointing your fingers at others just because
of your own stupidity."
"You..."
"Enough!" Mrs. Leigh frowned, deeply annoyed by Lyra. "This place belongs to me. If you want to make a scene, go back to the Maddens. That's all I have to say, so Mr. and Ms. Madden, please leave. I don't welcome you at my banquet.”
"Yes." A few waiters nodded and made a gesture for Brandon and Lyra to leave.
Even though Brandon was enraged, he was also ashamed and no longer wanted to stay. He forced a smile and said, "I will not bother you any further then, Mrs. Leigh. Lyra, let's go."
'Dad!" Lyra was still reluctant.
Brandon tugged on her elbow and pulled her out of Julien's arms. He exchanged a glance with Julien and dragged Lyra out.
The longer they stay, the more embarrassing it would be.
"They left just like that? They haven’t even apologized to my darling.” Luke pursed his lips.
Sydney had a small smile on her face. "I don't need their apology. Moreover, they completely lost their reputation tonight. I think there might even be jokes about them on the Internet tomorrow." "That’s true," Luke said.
Julien swept them a glace with his eyebrows in a tight furrow. He did not say a word.
"You’re from the Morgans, right?" Mrs. Leigh turned her attention to Kate.
