"So you think it''s okay for you to steal someone''s boyfriend?"

    "You''re just a knockoff, and you won''t ever be one of us!"

    A third friend was about to add on when Yasmine intentionally sshed some wine toward them, causing the women to shriek.

    Yasmine clutched her chest and apologized, "Oh my! I''m so sorry. I have poor health and a weak heart, so I can''t stand to hear people screeching. I got so terrified that I lost control. You guys really scared me!"

    Roxanne''s friends were beyond infuriated, and a hot-tempered woman was about to scratch Yasmine''s face. "Both of you are birds of a feather... Oh!"

    Before she could even reach for Yasmine, Reba grabbed her arm and yanked her back. Reba did not hit the woman and merely held her back.

    "Let''s keep it ssy, shall we? Otherwise..." Reba leaned closer to the woman. "I''ll rip off your nipple covers and shove them into your mouth."

    The woman was stunned into silence. Was Reba some kind of thug?

    The woman wanted to say something, but was afraid that Reba would really rip off her nipple covers and shove them into her mouth.

    Reba was awyer who could handle anything. Not only was she stronger than most women, but she could be extremely intimidating as well.

    After getting drenched in wine, the women headed to the washroom with darkened expressions. As for Roxanne, she had gone extremely pale.

    Themotion had drawn the attention of others, and many gathered around to ask what had happened.

    "Look around-Many have grown curious. Do you still want to keep this up?" Vespera lowered her voice, sounding gentler than earlier. It was as if she were whispering with a good friend.

    But these older women were sharp enough to realize that Vespera and Roxanne were at odds with one another. At the moment, these older women were whispering with great interest, trying to find out who Vespera and Roxanne were.

    Meanwhile, Felicia stood very far away while having a chat with two otherdies. Ever since she settled the troublemaker, Tina, she has been in an extremely good mood.

    At the moment, Felicia was searching for the perfect wife for Luke. She knew that Emily had invited almost all of Halewick''s socialites to the ball. So, it was the best opportunity.

    "Seems to be quite happening over there. Shall we have a look?" One of thedies pointed in the direction of Vespera and the others.

    Felicia replied, "Sure! Let''s go."

    Felicia and the otherdies walked toward themotion. If they didn''t join them, they might end up bing the centre of attention instead.

    Roxanne could no longer take the heat and ran off. As soon as she took off, everyone turned to look at Vespera, who smiled back at them. Without addressing the crowd, she turned to Reba and Yasmine. "I''m going to the washroom."

    Reba asked, "Shall we go with you?"

    "No need. Continue mingling around. I''ll be back real soon." With that, Vespera left the banquet hall to get some fresh air. She would let these overly enthusiastic guests cool down for now.

    "Why''d they leave?" Thedies with Felicia were somewhat dismayed that they missed out on the fun.

    Felicia watched Vespera carefully as she disappeared into the distance while bing lost in thought.

    After leaving the banquet hall, Vespera found a quiet, hidden corner along the corridor. She decided to remain there for a moment before returning to the hall.

    She had no idea how much time had passed when she heard someone whispering to another.

    "She''ll be here soon. She''s Mrs. Dawson''s VIP guest for tonight. Whether we can get her money in the future will depend on tonight. Later, you must ask her to choose the golden mask."

    "Okay. Got it."

    ...

    Who? A golden mask?

    Indeed, Emily was up to something.

    Ten minutester, Vespera heard the sound of high heels clicking against the floor. Since the person should be here soon, she bravely peeked her head around the corner.

    Since no one was around, Vespera casually walked toward the corridor where she had heard the high heels echoing. Anyone would have to pass through that corridor to get to the banquet hall.

    From afar Vespera saw an elegant, noble, and stunning woman walking her way. She seemed to be in her 40s, and her skin looked extremely wless. She was definitely a great beauty when she was younger.

    ,

    Could that woman be Emily''s VIP guest?
