Chapter 380
Serena clutched the gift box to her chest and glanced up, her eyes narrowing.
When she saw the gaudily dressed Wynn family, she frowned slightly.
Why was this scum everywhere?
This was Brianna’s coming-of-age party.
How did a family like the Wynns, not even a third-rate one and on the brink of bankruptcy, get an invitation?
“What? Surprised to see us?” Marianne said, waving the invitation in her hand. “See this? Hailey earned this invitation with her own abilities! Our Hailey is the Wynn family’s lucky charm, unlike you, our jinx, who only brings us disaster p>
“Did you think the Wynn family would really go bankrupt without you? Ha! With a lucky charm like Hailey around, not only will we not go bankrupt, but we’ll soar to new heights p>
Marianne held the invitation, her back straight, and scanned Serena from head to toe with a sharp, cruel gaze. “You’ve seduced so many rich boys, yet they won’t even buy you a decent gown? Doesn’t that just prove they were only ever just playing with you p>
“When it comes to an important event like this, not a single one of them was willing to invite you as their date p>
Marianne couldn’t help but laugh, her voice full of schadenfreude. “You don’t even have an invitation, yet you show up here. Are you trying to crash the party? Thinking you can latch onto some rich guy to get you inside? Find a new target? Let me tell you, forget it! This is not a place you can enter just by batting your eyelashes and acting seductive p>
The incessant stream of insults grated on Serena’s nerves.
Her patience was gone.
Her fingers twitched around the gift box, and her cold eyes grew even colder.
This was Brianna’s coming-of-age party.
She didn’t want to make a big scene and ruin Brianna’s birthday.
“Serena, this is not the kind of place you should be! The Blackwoods’ party is beyond your reach. Don’t think that just because the Blackwood heir played around with you, you can climb the social ladder and become some kind of princess. And now you want to come here and harass Mr. Blackwood? What a delusional fantasy p>
Marianne was still talking. Seeing
that Serena wasn’t even botherin
look at her, she couldn’t stop herself from reaching out Serena, I’m talking to you! I told you to get lost p>
Before she could finish her sentence, Serena seized her wrist.
Her cold, exquisite face lifted, and her chilling gaze met Marianne’s eyes.
Her entire demeanor turned terrifyingly cold.
That single look made Marianne’s words catch in her throat. A chill ran down her spine, and she couldn’t help but flinch.
This reaction made Marianne’s face turn livid. She wanted to violently shake off Serena’s hand and curse back at her.
But under that gaze, the words died in her throat, and she couldn’t utter a single word.
She couldn’t even break free from the hand gripping her wrist.
“Get lost p>
Serena tossed Marianne away like she was a piece of trash.
Marianne cried out as she tumbled to the ground, rolling several times. Her carefully styled hair fell into disarray.
“Mom p>
“Honey p>
The rest of the Wynn family finally reacted, rushing forward to help Marianne up.
Even though the ground outside the
