Is this the unmarried fiancée that the Crown Prince has been desperately searching for?!
Although she has a decent appearance, it’s important to remember that the entertainment industry is filled with beautiful women. How many women are there who are more beautiful than her?
And as some insiders know, the Crown Prince’s fiancée is not a socialite.
!
In other words, women like her should be plentiful, so it’s unclear what the prince sees in her!
Valda’s legs aren’t suitable for standing for long periods, so after Brian greeted some acquaintances, he found a spot for Valda to sit and rest.
“I’ll go get you some food, wait for me here,” said Brian.
“Okay,” Valda responded.
After Brian left, Valda took out her phone and started scrolling through the messages on it.
At that moment, a voice suddenly spoke softly in her ear, “Excuse me, are you Brian’s fiancée?”
Valda looked up and saw a young woman wearing a pearl pink dress speaking, while two companions stood beside her.
Valda knows this woman, Tracy Barlow, who is a rising star in the entertainment industry this year.
She’s been making headlines lately and is a wealthy and beautiful woman. Her family’s business is well-known in Emerald City, and she’s an only child who could have inherited the family business, but chose to pursue a career in entertainment instead.
However, since she entered the entertainment industry, she has had very good natural resources, coupled with her sweet appearance, so she has gained a large number of fans in a very short period of time.
Valda looked at the other person. Her woman’s intuition told her that the other person’s approach was not just a simple inquiry.
“Yes, I am Brian’s fiancée,” she stood up and gracefully admitted.
“Wow, this is really unbelievable.”
“Exactly, I thought Brian’s girlfriend would be the stunning type that outshines everyone else.”
Tracy’s two companions behind her muttered, causing Valda to furrow her brows slightly. Tracy smiled and said, “Sorry, my friends can be a bit blunt. I hope you don’t mind.”
Valda faced the insincere smile on the other person’s face. In the past, she might have just nodded and pretended nothing was wrong.
Even if you know the other person has bad intentions, it’s not appropriate to confront them and ruin the relationship.
But now, she doesn’t want to continue being so weak. If she can be easily mocked by others, then in the future, that mockery will also be directed towards Brian.
Now that she is Brian’s fiancée, they are inextricably linked.
“I don’t think it’s being straightforward, I just think it’s rude. But since that’s the case, why should I care?” Valda said.
As soon as she spoke, the three of them immediately changed their expressions.
The two women behind Tracy immediately said, “Who do you think you are? You’re neither a socialite nor a popular star. What makes you think you’re worthy of standing next to Brian? If it weren’t for Brian, you wouldn’t even be able to attend tonight’s banquet!”
Valda said, “Who am I, and who are you to decide whether I’m worthy or not to be with Brian? Do you have the qualifications to make that decision?”
This speech immediately silenced the two of them, their faces turning red as they glared at Valda with hatred.
Tracy pretended to be a good person and said, “I’m sorry, please don’t mind what my friend said. We were just curious. We heard that Brian had a girlfriend before, but she disappeared. Brian has been looking for her, and we didn’t expect her to show up today.”
“It was said that she disappeared unexpectedly, but who knows if there was something shady going on and she disappeared on purpose!” One of Tracy’s female companions behind her spoke
1.
Tracy hurriedly said, “How can you say that! How could someone disappear on purpose!”
“Who knows, otherwise let her explain why she disappeared!”
Tracy turned to Valda and said, “Why don’t we explain it? To be honest, I’m also very curious. I’m sure it’s not just us who are curious. If we don’t explain, it will only lead to more speculation. It’s better to be open and clear about the situation. This way, people won’t be suspicious.”
Valda is not foolish. The other person is saying this openly, but in reality, they just want to know the specific details of her disappearance and want to manipulate the situation to their advantage.
But her disappearance is not just a personal matter for her, it also involves many other people.
Moreover, Tracy in front of her was just a stranger, someone
Valda didn’t know, so she didn’t want to talk too much with these people.
“I don’t think I need to explain myself to you,” she said coldly.
“You’re feeling guilty, aren’t you? If there’s nothing to hide, why can’t you talk about it?”
“Absolutely!”
The two companions were mocking Valda with sarcasm and insults.
Tracy turned to Valda and said, “There’s nothing that can’t be talked about with others. I think it’s not just our curiosity, but also many people will be curious when Brian introduces you to the media in the future. Although Brian is not in the entertainment industry, the news media and the public are very interested in him.
Since you are Brian’s fiancée, it’s better to clarify the situation when he went missing earlier, so as to avoid being criticized by some haters!”
“This is not your concern, Miss Barlow,” Valda said, too lazy to argue with the three people. She turned around and walked away, intending to find Brian.
As Valda lifted her foot to take a step, one of Tracy’s female companions behind her intentionally stuck out her foot and tripped Valda.
Valda fell to the ground in a clumsy manner with a loud “bang”.
The woman had a smug smile on her lips and spoke in a affected tone, “Oh my, how did you fall?
Couldn’t you stand firm? Shall I give you a hand?”
Valda felt a dull pain where she had fallen, and as a result, several people around her turned to look.
Valda was about to stand up when suddenly Tracy’s voice sounded, “Hey, why are the soles of your shoes so strange?”
Suddenly, everyone’s attention was drawn to Valda’s shoes.
Due to the fall, her shoes are now exposed in front of everyone.
Immediately, Tracy’s companion behind her burst into laughter,
“Her shoes, one sole is thick and the other is thin, could it be that there’s something wrong with her legs?”
“Is it a limp in the leg?”
“Oh my god, I hope Brian isn’t in the dark about this!”
“This woman is so scheming, I hope she didn’t deceive Brian too!”
As these women set the tone, people around them began to discuss it.
Valda’s face turned pale. She didn’t mind others knowing about her leg problem, but being mocked in such a way in front of everyone was something she hadn’t expected.
She instinctively tucked her feet under her skirt and tried to stand up, but Tracy and her friends deliberately blocked her and wouldn’t let her get up.
Tracy even said, “If you have a problem with your legs, you should let others know. How can you deceive people with those shoes? Are you being hypocritical? Does Brian know about this?!”
Valda knew that Tracy and her friends wanted more people to know about her leg problem.
“Let me get up!” Valda struggled to say.
“You shouldn’t deceive Brian like this. You should let Brian see your shoes too!” Tracy said.
Meanwhile, her two companions kept obstructing Valda from standing up. One of them accidentally stepped on Valda’s hand with her fancy shoes.
“Ah!” Valda cried out in pain.
The other person pretended to be surprised and said, “Oh dear, what happened? Sorry, I stepped on you!”
Valda bit her lip, not wanting to embarrass herself further in front of these people.
Her embarrassment would only please these people.
“I am Brian’s fiancée. Are you trying to make enemies with Brian and the Hart family by treating me like this?” Valda spoke up, knowing that she represented more than just herself now.
“Heh, when Brian finds out you’re a cripple, think about how he’ll treat you,” the person who was stepping on her hand sneered.
But before he could finish his sentence, he was slapped to the ground by a sudden force.
A figure hurriedly crouched in front of Valda and asked, “Valda, are you okay?”
Valda looked at Brian, who had finally appeared, and her eyes turned slightly red. “Brian, I’m sorry,” she whispered. She didn’t want to embarrass him and wanted to accompany him to the film festival with dignity, but now it had turned out like this.
Brian felt a deep sense of pain in his heart. Her apology only made him feel worse.
He knew that he was the one who should apologize. He failed to protect her and allowed her to suffer such humiliation.
When he saw her lying on the ground, trying to get up but being stopped by others, his blood boiled with anger. He wished he could kill someone!
How could anyone treat his precious one with such disrespect?
Brian carefully helped Valda up and held her right hand. He looked at the swelling on the back of her hand and asked softly, “Does it hurt?”
“It hurt a little when it was stepped on, but it’s better now,” Valda replied.
“Who stepped on it?” he asked.
“It was the person you pushed away just now,” Valda said. “Brian, can we go back now?”
She was in a mess and didn’t feel comfortable staying here any longer. Besides, she knew he must be very angry after what happened to her.
She was worried that he might do something unfavorable in front of everyone, which could lead to public criticism.
Seeing the worry in her eyes, he said, “Okay, let’s go back first.”
As for those who were giving her a hard time earlier, he naturally has a way to deal with them.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Tracy’s group clearly didn’t want it to end like this.
“Brian!” Tracy exclaimed, “Don’t easily believe your fiancée. You don’t know yet, but she clearly has a problem with her legs and deliberately uses shoes to cover it up so you won’t find out. She has ulterior motives and is very cunning!”
When Tracy said this, she intentionally raised her voice, wanting everyone around to hear her.
The two female companions standing behind Tracy quickly chimed in agreement, “Yes, Brian, don’t let this woman deceive you! She’s nothing but a fraud!”
