Chapter 384
“What are you glaring at? If you dare to show up here putting on an act in a counterfeit, you should be prepared for the consequences of being exposed!” Marianne sneered, her face full of scorn.
Hailey bit her lower lip, feigning a look of reluctance as she said softly, “Serena, if you really wanted to get into Miss Blackwood’s coming-of-age party, you could have just told me. I could have brought you in p>
“If you didn’t have a gown to wear, I have plenty I could have lent you. You really didn’t need to… you didn’t need to find a small workshop to copy a YB design! That’s YB we’re talking about! If you’re involved in a YB plagiarism case, you could… you could be arrested p>
“Serena, you should take that dress off right now p>
As she spoke, she fought to suppress the smirk threatening to form on her lips and reached out to pull at Serena’s gown.
A flash of vicious cruelty crossed her eyes.
She was going to rip Serena’s dress off in public, to humiliate Serena in front of everyone p>
Then she’d see how Serena could use that face of hers to seduce top-tier wealthy men!
However, Serena gave her no such opportunity.
Just as Hailey reached out, Serena’s long, dark lashes lowered, her cool, bright eyes looking at Hailey with a mixture of mockery and amusement.
The corner of her lip suddenly curled up.
Her pale, slender hand flashed before Hailey’s eyes.
*Crack p>
The slap was deafening.
The sharp sound made even the onlookers flinch, wincing in sympathetic second- hand pain.
Hailey shrieked in pain.
Then: *Crack p>
Another slap landed.
Hailey’s scream was even louder. Her head was ringing, and half her face was on fire.
Hailey was completely dazed by the pain.
The Wynn family was momentarily stunned, completely shocked that Serena would dare to strike someone at an event like this!
Marianne was the first to react, her fury erupting as she shrieked and charged forward in her high heels “Serena, you little bitch! You dare hit my daughter! I’ll kill you p>
Just as Marianne rushed over, Serena whipped her hand back and slapped Hailey across the face again.
The force of this blow was so great it sent Hailey flying backward.
With a thud, Hailey crashed into Marianne.
The mother and daughter tumbled to the ground in a pathetic heap.
Marianne had just been thrown by Serena earlier, scraping her arm. Now, being used as a human cushion and hitting the ground hard, her exquisitely made-up face contorted in agony.
“I told you to stay away,” Serena said, looking down at the two on the ground with a cool, lazy indifference.
Her disdainful posture was imperious, regal, and full of contempt. “Since you don’t seem to listen, you’ll have to face the consequences p>
She casually threw the same words back at them.
Hailey’s eyes were crimson with pain. Even a slight movement of her mouth sent searing agony through her skin.
This bitch… did it on purpose!
With those few slaps, she had deliberately targeted one side of her face!
She didn’t even need to touch it to know that half her face was completely swollen!
“Serena, you… how could you do this to me! Do you know where we are? By hitting someone at the entrance of the Blackwood estate, you slapping the Blackwood family in the face p>
“I know you resent me because my return meant you lost your life as a
anx
wealthy heiress! But if you have any anger, direct it at me Mom raised you for twenty years, and you called her Mom’ for twenty years. How could you lay a hand on her? Do you have any decency at all?
