Seeing through her thoughts, Selena smirked. “Trying to seek help from Young Master Jared? I think you can give up on that. He’s talking with his friends in the VIP room upstairs.”
“I will give you three seconds to get out of my sight. Otherwise, I’m going to splash this on you and embarrass you.” The woman had at menacing look, seemingly not one to be trified with..
“Is it that once my cousin leaves, you won’t pursue this matter further?” Selena immediately asked the woman. “Yes! If she does, then I’ll let this go. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what will happen,” answered the woman.
Selena grabbed Ellen before dragging her in the direction of the entrance. “Why are you still not leaving? Are you going to reimburse her?”
Struggling, Ellen rebuked, “Let go of me! I’m not leaving Selena immediately retorted, “I’m doing this for your own good! Do you really think you hail from some rich family? This is no place for people like you! Just look at yourself!”
As for the woman whose dress got soiled, she crossed her arms and walked over menacingly. “Hm? Why are you still here? Are you really that eager to have wine splashed all over your face?” She then took a glass of red wine from one of the waiters before walking toward Ellen.
With a pale expression, Ellen took a step back involuntarily as the girl kept threatening her.. “I’m going to do it!”
“The door’s there. I’m going to count to three. If you’re really not leaving, then you’ll be seeing what I’m capable of,” warned the woman. Under such circumstances, Ellen pondered that besides leaving, there was no other option left for her.
It was then Selena exchanged glances with Dorothy, who was standing by the sidelines. Originally, Dorothy was quite satisfied, as she did not plan on butting in, but seeing that Ellen was being stubborn and did not want to leave made her a bit anxious. Holding a glass of wine in her hand, she stepped forward. “Miss, I heard that you are only an assistant. Are you sure you’re qualified to be here?”
Upon hearing this, Ellen understood that Selena was in cahoots with these people. She realized that their goal was to chase her away. Otherwise, how would this woman know her identity as an assistant?
Ellen had never been bullied in school before. But right now, she was surrounded on all sides by these snobbish rich girls, who were using their status to oppress others.
“Ellen, stop being foolish and just leave.” Selena was afraid that Jared might return at any moment, so she started to rush her.
Smirking, Ellen replied, “What if I don’t? And why should I leave? Are any one of you the organizer of this event? If not, then you don’t have the right to tell me to leave!”
Her words stunned Dorothy, Selena, and her three friends, as they never thought Ellen would say this. “Ellen, how thick-skinned do you have to be to say that! Things have already come to this point, yet you’re still insisting on staying here!”
Selena mocked. “I think you don’t want your dress anymore, do you?”
Ellen nonchalantly rebuked, “You’re right. I don’t want my dress anymore. But, if you splash that glass of red wine at me, then you’ll have to pay for the dress.”
“You….” The haughty woman was rather troubled by this. “It was you who soiled my dress first. Now, I’m just mimicking your actions, so why do I have to reimburse you?”
“Because this dress was given to me by Young Master Jared. If you do soil it, then you won’t be paying me. You’ll be paying him instead, replied Ellen calmly. Right then, she was livid since she was being bullied by Selena and the others for no reason at all. Just because I’m poor doesn’t mean they can bully me like this.
Dorothy’s expression darkened. “Ellen Reiss, am I right? Do you know who I am?” “I don’t.”
“First of all, I’m Jared’s classmate. Second of all, my father is good friends with the organizer of this event. So, I have the right to make you leave. Otherwise, I’ll call security over.
Now choose: do you want to leave on your own two feet or be forcefully dragged out by the security?” Dorothy took advantage of her status to oppress her.
The other three watched on since Dorothy was taking the lead now, while Ellen was like a lone soldier that was surrounded on all sides.
Little did they know that the man witnessed this scene on the second floor. Jared, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, walked out, wanting to look for Ellen.
Yet, he did not think that Ellen would be surrounded by four women when he was about to reach the exit. Although he didn’t know what they were talking about, he could tell that Ellen was being bullied. With a cold gaze, Jared put down his wine and walked toward the staircase.
Due to Dorothy and her cronies’ backs facing the event hall, only Ellen was facing the crowd, so when Ellen saw the man cutting through the guests and walking toward them, she felt all fuzzy inside.
Then, she said to Dorothy, “What if I don’t leave? What will you do?” Dorothy sneered. “If you don’t, we’ll teach you a lesson tonight!” “What barbaric behavior.” Ellen frowned in anger.
“So what? This is all because you’re monopolizing Young Master Jared. The only partner deserving of him is Miss Dorothy herself,” stated the woman in the soiled dress.
Dorothy was still feeling smug, not knowing that a person with a terrifying aura was standing behind her, taking in their conversation. “Ellen, if you know what’s good for you, then make yourself scarce. Otherwise, I’ll be announcing your lowly status.’ Selena smirked.
“I am the only one deserving to be Young Master Jared’s companion. If you still have a brain, then get out of my sight, Dorothy admonished.
Seeing that Jared heard all this, Ellen pointed. with her chin at Dorothy, replying. “You know, how about you turn around and ask Young Master Jared that? Does he like the idea of you being his female companion?”
Realizing what her words meant after a few seconds, they turned around in panic. All at once, Dorothy’s face flushed crimson red. None of them discovered the fact that Jared had been standing behind them all this while, listening to their haughty words.
Selena, whose soul almost left her body, quickly turned around, wanting to escape. Although Jared just stood there, motionless and speechless, his chilly aura still informed them that he was very, very livid.
“Young… Jared! Do you still remember me? I’m your classmate from elementary school, Dorothy! Dorothy Joypur!” Dorothy immediately leveraged their past relationship to suck Jared up, trying to make him remember her while she was at it.
Yet, Jared ignored her and walked toward Ellen, asking. What happened?” “Miss Joypur over here tried to team up with my cousin to chase me away so that she could become your partner for tonight,” replied Ellen truthfully.
Looping an arm around Ellen, Jared turned around, his sharp, cold gaze sweeping across the four people, and asked, “Who gave you the right to bully my girlfriend?”
The four women’s eyes widened at his words. Girl… Girlfriend?! Ellen was actually Jared’s girlfriend? She’s not just a female companion?
Wide-eyed, Selena didn’t expect that they were already a couple. How did they progress so quickly?
Ellen, who was also stunned, surmised that this was Jared helping her to raise her status. Yet, before she finished processing her thoughts, the man held her cheeks and forced his assertive yet moist lips against her red lips, kissing her.
At that moment, Ellen felt as if an explosion went off in her mind. On the other hand, the four women were jealous and embarrassed, for they had to endure Jared kissing another woman right in front of them, showing his love publicly.
“Tonight, except Ellen, none of you have the qualification to be my companion.” Jared looked straight at Dorothy.
Somehow, Dorothy’s face was both pale and flushed, making it quite an interesting spectacle. She was so embarrassed she wanted to bury her head in the sand to hide from Jared’s gaze.
“Young Master Jared, this has nothing to do with us! It was her idea to chase Miss Reiss away. One of Dorothy’s friends quickly made Selena the scapegoat.
“Exactly. She was the one who told us that Miss Reiss is an assistant and that she was her cousin. It was her idea to make us chase her away.”
Selena blushed furiously, matching the color of her bright red dress, making her beautiful dress seem lackluster in comparison.
Dorothy quickly added, “That’s right. Jared, we didn’t want to bully Miss Reiss. We only fell into her trap.”
Jared fixed his gaze on Selena, who originally wanted to attract his attention. Although she had successfully done so, it was rage that was directed at her instead.
I’m overlooking this matter for the sake of your parents. Now, make yourself scarce.” Upon hearing this, Selena bit her lips before glaring at Ellen. Not thick-skinned enough to continue staying in the venue, she left for the entrance dejectedly.
Meanwhile, Ellen was still in a bit of a daze, as the kiss disconnected her from reality temporarily.
Dorothy and the others felt ashamed to stay there any longer since Jared’s gaze made them feel like they were trash that should be disposed of.
Soon after Selena left, Dorothy and the others followed suit, unfortunately bumping into her after they went down. Selena was hailing a cab since she didn’t drive to the event. Besides, leading to the hotel was a very long stretch of road, and she did not want to walk.
