Even a three year-old wouldn't end up with all fakes and rejects." Their voices were delibemtely kept low, but Yvonne still heard them. Her face suddenly turned ugly, and she stared daggers at Flora. "Flora, you played me!" "Only just figured that out?" Flora couldn't help but laugh.
"You-" Yvonne was livid, raising her hand to strike Flora, forgetting she was holding a bunch of stuff in her arms. As she let go, everything crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Yvonne felt her heart bleeding.

The culprit, Flora, had already left, striding confidently away.
On the day of the banquet.
The Bryant family was universally respected, and at Josiah's birthday banquet, almost every notable person in Cedarvale was present Outside the villa, expensive cars cand went. Inside, the hall was filled with elegant dresses and fine wines, with guests mingling everywhere Flora wore a pale blue knee-length dress, dignified and elegant, with brown hair cascading over her shoulders, curling slightly at the ends, adding a touch of playfulness. Her lightly made-up face under the lights made her skin look almost translucent, stunningly beautiful She captivated everyone's attention.
Raul and Henrik also wore suits in a similar shade, and the three of them immediately becthe center of attention upon their arrival.
Among the guests were several eligible bachelors who, upon seeing Flora walk in, couldn't hide their admiration. In a comer, Yvonne shyly covered her face with her hand, giggling demurely "You're quite the comedian, I enjoy traveling as well; we should go together sometime..." Yvonne spoke, her voice tinged with shyness However, the man who had been eagerly chatting with her a moment ago was now distractedly looking towards the door soon excusing himself in a hurry. "Miss Yvonne, I've got something to attend to, Please excuse me." "Hey, you..." Yvonne was taken aback. He had just said he was completely free today and that his only task was to stay by her side! The man hurried off, then stopped to straighten his outfit before picking up a new glass of wine and approaching a girl in a light blue dress Recognizing the girl, Yvonne's eyes widened, filled with hatred.
Flora was here, too! "What are you looking at?" Selene asked, approaching with a glass of red wine and noticing Yvonne's unusual demeanor She found these types of gatherings quite boring, but Josiah had once been kind to the Brimer family. Her grandfather had specifically asked her to attend the banquet.
"Selene, that bitch Flora is here!" Yvonne said angrily, her eyes blazing with fury.

Selene glanced in the direction Yvonne had been looking and, indeed, NO saw Flora in her gown. Remembering the incident with the speech and the antique shop, she frowned slightly and then looked away. "Don't provoke her, you're no match for her." "Selene, how can even you be afraid of her!" Selene's expression darkened.
Selene was hailed as a prodigy doctor and pampered since om childhood. Would she be afraid of Flora? Impossible.
Sensing Selene's displeasure, Yvonne realized she had misspoken and quickly fell silent, not daring to say more. Chapter 193
