Yvonne lifted her chin proudly. "Hmph! I don't want t o! You and I are equals! Even if I can’t afford a high-end evening dress, I'll just wear my best friend's dress. Don't you forget, she’s extremely wealthy! I’ll visit Sabrina’s house this weekend, and when I’m there, I'll pick out my favourite dress from her closet. That's it, I'm going to crush all the other women at the banquet!”
"Pfft...” Marcus, who always had a charming demeanor, suddenly let out a peal of donkey-like laughter.
When she heard this, Yvonne snorted and asked with great dissatisfaction, "What are you laughing at? Is this funny? You’re clearly laughing at me!"
Sabrina began rolling her eyes at Marcus as well, saying, "Yes, Director Shaw, you shouldn't underestimate our Yvonne. She’s a proper little beauty. Who knows, she might actually end up being the most attractive woman at the banquet!"
"That's right!" Yvonne added haughtily.
All of a sudden, Marcus put his smile away, and turned to look at Yvonne seriously. After lowering his voice, he asked, "Yvonne, little beauty, you must have forgotten all about this. Just two weeks ago, there was a woman named Yasmine Thomas. She didn't wear Sabrina's clothes, but had just held her crocodile leather clutch bag for a while. Yet, she was almost..."
Marcus was referring to the doomed banquet that Emma had held for Sabrina the last time. When Sebastian saw Carol Long's mom, Yasmine, arriving at the venue with Sabrina's clutch bag in hand, he almost took her life.
Yvonne suddenly trembled all over in fear after hearing Marcus' words.
Then, she opened Marcus’ car door in a hurry and quickly sat inside before closing the door.
After a few seconds, she stuck her head out of the window. "Sorry, Sabrina. I...I'm not going to try on your clothes anymore. Please inform Master Sebastian that I've never coveted your clothes. I've really never yearned for them before. You must let Master Sebastian know..."
Marcus' car instantly drove off before she could even finish her sentence.
Once they were about a hundred meters away from the company, Marcus suddenly tapped Yvonne's forehead with his finger. "Little girl, do you know what we call your behavior just now?"
Yvonne asked curiously, "What is it called?"
"It's called giving yourself away by concealing the truth."
