So soon? Mindy was so excited that she could not bring herself to turn around. She immediately retrieved a small spray bottle from her purse and sprayed behind her ears, as well as on her wrists. Once she was done, she turned arrogantly to the socialites she was demeaning and asked, "Hey, do you think my dress is pretty?"
"Of course!" they responded in unison.
"What about...my perfume...?"
Once again, the socialites responded in unison, "Very flirtatious. It will surely put your fiance under your spell."
Mindy was vibrating with a thrill. She came prepared. The dress she was wearing cost about eight hundred thousand and her purse cost another hundreds of thousands. The perfume she used on her underarms was called 'Seduction', a fragrance that had been known among socialites, but no one had been able to get their hands on. Rumors had it that it was a magical potion that could get any man heads over heels for the wearer. The bottle contained only five milliliters but was worth hundreds of thousands. She managed to buy it from a designer working for Sloane. She was certain that she could entice young Master Ryan with the help of this ’magical potion’. Mindy turned around gracefully with confidence, only to find
a sight so shocking that she almost dropped her purse.
Young Master Ryan was wearing a white suit with a sky-blue-colored tie, which matched with her lake blue gown. The way he was dressed, along with his majestic demeanor made him shine like a diamond in the rough within the Shaw residence. However, why was there another woman in the arms of young Master Ryan? Mindy took a closer look and froze in place. The woman who held his hand with a shy smile was none other than Ruth. Mindy took a few steps backward in shock.
"No..." she murmured.
Just then, the woman she looked down on just a few minutes ago sneered, "Who exactly do you think you are, Mindy Mann? I see that you have gotten emophilia!"
"Haha! She came close to scaring me to death. wWho would have thought that she managed to make a fool o f herself again today."
"This is so interesting! She was just a woman who was abandoned by Nigel and snuffed out by Master Sebastian, and here she is dreaming about marrying young Master Ryan of Kidon City. Did she really think that young Master Ryan would be willing to recycle garbage like her? Hahaha!"
"Hey, let me tell you, the last time, during the family gathering where Master Sebastian introduced his wife and daughter, I heard that she made such a gigantic fool of herself that she might as well consider killing herself on the spot. It's a shame that neither of us was invited to the gathering so we didn't get to see how embarrassing she was. We are finally getting the chance to watch it live today!" 1
"Turn on your phones. Let's record and stream this live!"
"Okay!"
Mindy could no longer take the snarky comments directed at her and exploded. "Ugh! Why??" she screamed, startling the socialites around her.
Her face was flashing a bruised dark red, and her eyes were at the brinks of popping out of the sockets from rage when she roared, "Why?? Ruth, why are you holding my fiance's hand?? Why is it you?? You shameless skank, don't you know that this is an elite family?? An elite family!! This is my Grandpa Shaw's house, not the Mann's! You must have driven yourself crazy fantasizing about marrying into a wealthy family!"
Mindy scanned every single person at the scene.
There were not many guests to begin with.
