Chapter 772
Once Mira and her group appeared, Lawrence Lance and Seraphina Quinn were immediately notified. Seraphina offered an apologetic smile to Luna Lance, Vanessa, and the rest of their circle. “Excuse me, I need to go greet some guests p>
She was, after all, the hostess of this prestigious banquet.
“Don’t worry about us, we’re practically family. Go do your thing p>
Seraphina reveled in the envious gazes of her peers.
With that, she linked her arm through Lawrence’s and gracefully walked toward the entrance.
As the star of the evening, she was showered with compliments from everyone they passed.
She couldn’t wait to flaunt her status in front of Mira.
“I had a feeling you’d show up p>
Lawrence stepped forward to greet them, fully embracing his role as the host.
“A pleasure p>
Even though Lawrence couldn’t stand the sight of the couple, tonight was different. Owen and Mira were their primary targets for the evening, and a polite preamble was necessary.
They had been plotting this for too long. If they didn’t draw out the suspense, it would ruin all the fun.
Just seeing the two of them made Seraphina’s blood boil. Damn it, they were wearing entirely new, unreleased styles from the House of Laurent!
She instantly went on high alert. She couldn’t let them steal her spotlight again. She had to remind Lawrence to execute their plan early and humiliate them in front of everyone.
“Mira, come with me. The others are waiting for you. Luna, Vanessa, everyone’s here p>
Seraphina caught sight of Jillian and Elara out of the corner of her eye, a flash of disdain crossing her features.
Dragging such pathetic charity cases into an event like this completely ruined the aesthetic and dragged down the class of the room.
Mira didn’t miss her expression. “Thanks for the offer, Sera, but us working-class folks won’t bother mixing with Aethelgard’s high society. I’m sure they’d rather not deal with us either.
Besides, as you can see, I brought plenty of friends. I’m not exactly lacking company p>
The others in Mira’s group had to fight the urge to twitch at that statement.
Working-class? Were Mira, Owen, or Harvey really pretending to be working-class?
If these billionaires considered themselves struggling, what hope was there for anyone else?
Then again, she wasn’t entirely wrong. While Mira and Owen hadn’t started from absolute zero, they had built their empires from scratch, And even though Harvey hadn’t cut ties with his family, he had funded his own ventures without their help.
Regardless, the remark made Jillian, Elara, and Zachary feel incredibly validated.
Jillian subtly shot a mocking look at
Seraphina. That’s right, their boss always had their backs. She was a
self made titan in total control of her own wealth.
Unlike some people who were born into money and didn’t know how the real world worked.
Unfortunately, Jillian’s expression struck a nerve, causing Seraphina to lose her temper and snap.
“Isn’t this Vanessa’s little lapdog? Mira, why would you bring her here? You shouldn’t drag trash like this to an upscale event. It’s embarrassing.
She followed Vanessa around for ages, and Vanessa never once brought her out in public p>
Jillian flared up instantly. “Who are you calling a lapdog? The only pampered little pet here is you.
I’ve always heard that truly powerful people are understated. It’s the loudmouthed roosters with nothing to offer who scream the loudest desperate for attention p>
“You! You’re completely classless and vulgar p>
When it came to trading insults, the sheltered Seraphina was completely out of her depth against someone street-smart like Jillian.
Seraphina was so furious she wanted to slap her, but the surrounding crowd kept her anchored to her refined socialite image.
“Jillian, was it? Just you wait p>
This used to be Vanessa’s subservient lackey, and now she was barking just because she had backing? Seraphina vowed to find an opportunity to crush her.
Seraphina shifted her glare to Mira. She had done this on purpose. She intentionally brought this attack dog here just to humiliate her.
“Mira, she’s your guest. Aren’t you going to rein her in p>
Lawrence gritted his teeth. “Owen, Miss Mercer, the people you brought are causing a scene. Are you just going to stand there p>
