This made Selena even more spiteful. Right now, her heart was in utter disarray.
On the other hand, Ellen did not see her since there were too many women who were dressed to kill, making her unable to take it all in. Instead, a lot of jealous gazes were thrown at her.
It was then Jared saw a senior walking up to him. He held Ellen’s hand, saying, “Let’s go over and greet someone.” “Hello, Mr. Malik,” greeted Jared. “You’re here, Jared! The last time we ate together, it was still in Dansbury!” The senior laughed.
Xavier Malik was the vice president of the Manson Group. Being an influential person in the business world, he contacted Jared’s family quite often, so he was somewhat his senior.
“Indeed, it has been! A few years flashed by just like that!”
“We haven’t even met each other after coming back for so long, haha!” Xavier patted him on the shoulder, also noticing the beauty standing beside him. “Well, your companion sure is stunning!”
“She’s Ellen.” Jared looked at her with a smile.
Observing her from head to toe, Xavier knew that Jared’s companion was not just some nobody. Besides, from Jared’s gaze, he knew that this woman was not just his companion for the night.
If she marries the Presgrave Family, her status would be something else. Approaching him with another matter in mind, Xavier smiled and said, “Jared, I have a few friends that want to meet you in private.”
Jared nodded before embracing Ellen subtly, whispering gently in her ear, “You can go take a seat there and wait for me. I’ll come back for you soon.”
Then, Jared called out to a waiter and took a glass of juice, handing it to her. Taking it, Ellen smiled. “Alright. You guys go ahead.”
Selena, who had been watching her all this time, wanted to walk up to her when she passed by a couple of women and overheard one of them talking smugly. “He’s Jared Presgrave, a classmate of mine during elementary school. I didn’t think that I would bump into him here.”
Under the envious gaze of the surrounding ladies, the woman who spoke cast a lovestruck gaze at Jared, who was walking upstairs. “Her went abroad during fifth grade all of a sudden, and I didn’t get to see him after that. But I can tell you he was the brightest person in our school.”
“Wow, I’m so jealous of you! You were actually in the same class as him!”
Selena noticed that the woman was, as expected, a typical rich girl. With pretty looks and an elegant demeanor, she was leagues above the women around her. “Our relationship was very close back then, as he even borrowed things from me. He must still remember me,” the girl said confidently.
“Hm, how about his female companion? Who is she? How come we’ve never seen her before?”
“That’s right! Quite mysterious, I would say.” Sensing a chance for a plan, Selena smiled and interrupted them. “You’re talking about the female companion of Young Master Jared, right? I know her!” “You know her? Which prominent family does she hail from?”
“Prominent family? I believe you are all mistaken! She’s not some daughter of a rich family! She’s only an employee that works under the young master. I think she’s an assistant.” Selena had an extremely condescending tone.
“What? Even an assistant like her can enter here?” “Are you mistaken? She doesn’t look like one.”
“How can I be mistaken? She’s my cousin!! know her the best! Her parents and brother have all passed away, leaving her all alone. Although she isn’t old by any means, she is quite sly. Otherwise, how could she have conquered Young Master Jared?”
“What? That’s the kind of person she is?” One of the women was upset.
If even a woman of such a standing can be Young Master Jared’s partner, then we’re all more than qualified to do so! These women were upset and could not accept this All of them thought that they could crush this assistant in front of them. And to think that we speculated she was some mysterious woman from an influential family!
“I heard that you’re the young master’s classmate. I think you’re the most suitable to be his companion tonight,” Selena said to the rich girl.
Her name was Dorothy Joypur. Her family meddled in the furniture industry and was well- known internationally. At that moment, she felt that Selena’s words were right.
“But doesn’t the young master already have her?”
“I have an idea that can make you become his companion tonight,” Selena touted confidently. “What idea?” Dorothy closed in. After Selena whispered something to her, Dorothy had a surprised look. “Not bad.”
“Hello, I’m Selena Aguirre. How should I address you, Miss?”
I’m Dorothy Joypur. If you help me with this, then I’ll treat you as a friend from now on,” said Dorothy, as one needed to be capable to be able to join her clique.
Naturally, Selena was all but too willing to make this friendship happen. “Alright. I’ll help you. Also, you’ll need to ask your friends to act in this too.”
Dorothy, who was the richest amongst them, said to her friends, “Cooperate with Miss Aguirre later and chase that unsightly woman away
Selena’s plan was to chase Ellen away, vacating a space as Jared’s companion, so that Dorothy could get close to him and become his partner instead.
Just as Ellen sat on the sofa for not too long, a woman suddenly called out to her, “It’s really you! I thought I mistook someone else for you!” Looking up, Ellen was a bit shocked. Selena? Why is she here?
Selena saw that Jared followed someone upstairs, so she knew that Ellen was a sitting duck. If the plan goes well, she’ll be ousted in a short while. “What do you want from me?” Ellen had a somewhat cold expression.
Sitting down, Selena hugged her arm and said, “I saw that you came with Young Master Jared. I didn’t think that you guys had progressed so quickly! Ellen, you really know your stuff!” “I don’t need you to comment on my personal life.”
“You know that every woman here is from a prominent family, right? If I told the others that you’re only an assistant, a bottom feeder, what do you think they would say about you? No matter how lavish the dress you’re wearing is, it cannot hide your meager status.” Selena laughed in a shrill tone.
Ellen had a slightly flushed face as she looked at Selena. “What exactly do you want?”
“I heard others were talking about you just now! They all thought that you were some rich girl! But I know your background the best. I can tell them about it right now, so they’ll know who you truly are.”
“Suit yourself. If you want to, then go tell the whole world!” Finding this a bit annoying, Ellen took her glass of juice and stood up.
It was then Selena stood up as well, for her objective of insulting Ellen was to make her leave her seat and walk toward the guests. Just as Ellen took a few steps, Selena suddenly. pushed her, making Ellen bump into a woman and spill her juice onto the hem of the woman’s dress.
Enraged, Ellen turned to look at Selena. Selena was crossing her arms, watching as the situation unfolded. “Aren’t you going to apologize for soiling the woman’s dress?”
It was then the woman whose dress was soiled shouted, “Are you blind?! Do you know how much my dress costs?!” “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it,” Ellen apologized.
“Didn’t mean it? I think you did mean it! Never mind. I don’t want this dress anymore, so pay up! One million!” The woman wanted one million as compensation.
Ellen’s expression changed. She bit her lips and replied, “It’s only fruit juice, so it can be cleaned. I can help you dry clean it.” “No need. Pay up, right now.” The woman was very fierce.
It was then Selena came over. “Miss, she’s my cousin. Could you please be benevolent and forgive her?”
“I can forgive her! But she must leave the party! I don’t want to see her! Otherwise, if she stays here any longer, don’t blame me for acting like the bad guy!” the woman threatened.
Selena immediately held onto Ellen. “Do your hear that? They don’t want you to compensate them! Just leave! You can tell the young master that you had something to deal with.”
Dorothy, who was standing by the side, was very much looking forward to Selena’s plan working out so that she could become Jared’s companion.
Seeing that Ellen showed no intention of leaving, Selena hinted at the woman with her eyes. The next second, the woman took a glass of red wine and was about to splash it onto Ellen. “If you still won’t leave, then I’m going to splash this on you.”
This frightened Ellen greatly, for her dress was worth a fortune. Besides, she needed to return it, so she took a step back immediately.
“Ellen, why are you still standing here like a fool? Leave now! They’re not ones to be trifled with!” Selena was urging her, acting as if she was helping Ellen. Ellen looked up, wanting to look for Jared, but he was nowhere to be found.
