Valda Theller had met Phoebe Cross at a party before.
“Miss Song, what do you need?” Valda Theller asked.
“I don’t need anything. I just heard that Brian had arranged people to serve you here, so I came over to have a look.” Phoebe Cross sized up the gown Valda Theller was wearing and saw the sapphire jewelry on the dressing table out of the corners of her eyes. Envy instantly flickered in her eyes.
She had had her eye on that gown and jewelry and wanted to buy them, but someone else had already bought them.
Who knew Valda Theller had them?
…Did Brian give them to Valda Theller?’
“You’re not attending the charity gala tonight too, are you?”
Phoebe Cross asked.
“Yes, I’m attending it,” said Valda Theller.
“I’m sure someone from a regular family like you don’t often attend such parties. You won’t be the only one embarrassed if you make a mistake. You’ll also affect Brian.
You shouldn’t bother attending such galas,” said Phoebe Cross.
Valda Theller smiled. “I’ve promised Brian to attend the gala with him tonight. Brian will remind me if I make a mistake, so you have nothing to worry about, Miss Song.”
Phoebe Cross’s face darkened as she was tactfully rebuked.
The people beside Phoebe Cross said, “Is this Brian’s girlfriend?”
“Yeah, she’s a comic artist.” Phoebe Cross introduced dismissively.
“I was wondering who became Young Master Hart’s girlfriend. I didn’t expect it to be a comic artist.
She’s probably not popular. I’ve never heard of her.”
“A woman like her probably just wants to find a rich husband.”
They talked as if no one was there, and their tone was full of contempt for Valda Theller.
Some even looked at Valda Theller with disdain and said, “Why don’t you tell us how you fooled Young Master Hart into becoming your boyfriend?”
Valda Theller looked at the people in front of her. Judging from their outfits, they were probably socialites of Emerald City like Phoebe Cross.
They were looking at her maliciously.
“Do you think the ‘Young Master Hart’ you speak of is a person who gets fool easily?” Valda Theller asked in reply. She knew she could not show weakness. Showing weakness would only make these people push their luck as well as embarrass Brian.
“You…” The expression of the woman who asked the question turned ghastly. “What a smart mouth!
I’ve met a lot of women like you. Do you really think-”
“Do you really think you’re Young Master Hart’s true love and you can change your fate after marrying into a rich family? I’m afraid you’ll get dumped before long. Is that what you want to say?” Valda Theller interrupted and finished what the woman wanted to say in one breath.
The woman felt like something was stuck in her throat. She could not spit it out nor swallow it. She subconsciously raised her hand to swing it toward Valda Theller.
Valda Theller warned, “I’m Brian’s girlfriend. Forget about the future. At least he loves me very much right now. What do you think he’ll do to you if you lay your hands on me?”
The woman instantly turned pale. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she thought of what Brian would do. She could not swing the hand she had raised.
The makeup room became silent.
Displeased, Phoebe Cross said to Valda Theller, “You seem so full of yourself. Brian has had many girlfriends. Brian changed girlfriends every once in a while a few years back. We’re only reminding you out of kindness, lest you get dumped and want to attempt suicide!”
With that said, Phoebe Cross’s gaze fell on Valda Theller’s blue gown. “Is this gown from Brian? You can say Brian loves you when you get Brian to give you a purple gown. I think Brian is just after the novelty.”
Valda Theller’s heart sank. ‘Purple gown… Purple again. I know it’s Grace’s favorite color.’
“Whether it’s love or novelty is between Brian and me. You have nothing to worry about, Miss Song.”
Phoebe Cross’s face darkened. “Valda Theller, who do you think you are?”
Before Valda Theller could speak, a graceful male voice rang out. “Phoebe Cross, you can’t speak to my girlfriend like that.”
There was a sudden silence, and all eyes looked toward the door.
A tall figure walked over slowly, his handsome face full of indifference.
Phoebe Cross was shocked. ‘How much did Brian hear?’
Brian walked to Valda Theller’s side. “It seems I should’ve come earlier.”
“You’re not too late,” said Valda Theller, relieved by his appearance. Even though she seemed undaunted by Phoebe Cross, only she knew her palms were full of cold sweat when she dissed them. orer nupter 2832
“Do you like the gown and jewelry I chose?” Brian bent over and asked in a mutter. His tone sounded doting.
“I like it. It’s beautiful,” said Valda Theller.
“Let me help you with the jewelry,” he said, taking the sapphire necklace and helping her put it on.
The rich and delicate necklace added a touch of classiness to her when she wore it around her smooth neck.
“Why aren’t you apologizing?” Just then, Brian’s voice rang out again, but he was now talking to Phoebe Cross and the rest.
They instantly looked at each other. Phoebe Cross even looked shocked. “You… You want me to apologize?”
“Shouldn’t you? Since you know Valda is my girlfriend, you should know what to say and what not to say.” His indifferent voice gave people a faint sense of danger.
Brian leaned over, picked up the sapphire earrings, and carefully helped Valda Theller put them on.
This gentle gesture was in sharp contrast to the indifferent tone he had just used to speak to Phoebe Cross.
Phoebe Cross clenched her teeth. She had admired him since she was a child, but he had never considered having her as his girlfriend.
rer 2833 He constantly looked for the little girl who saved him during his 273 childhood, so every girlfriend before this was just a substitute for that little girl.
He finally stopped looking for a substitute and was single for years, but he found such an unclassy girlfriend.
‘What does Valda Theller have that I don’t?’
“Brian, do you really want me to apologize to this woman?” Phoebe Cross asked, staring at Brian.
“Not only you but everyone here!” Brian said indifferently. He had no intention of sparing any woman who had criticized Valda Theller.
The atmosphere was suffocating.
However, Brian just calmly helped Valda Theller put on the earrings. “I don’t have time to wait around.
Get out if you won’t apologize.”
However, no one dared guess what the cost of leaving would be.
After all, the crown prince had never been someone who played by the rules.
Therefore, the others rushed to apologize to Valda Theller.
“Miss Theller, I’m sorry. It was our fault just now. We apologize.”
“Yeah, be the bigger person. Forgive us!” Valda Theller politely responded, while Brian glanced at Phoebe Cross and snorted indifferently.
“Hmm?”
Phoebe Cross shivered and finally lowered her head before saying to Valda Theller, “I’m sorry I said something I shouldn’t have.”
“Then please don’t say anything you shouldn’t say in the future, Miss Song,” answered Valda Theller.
