Chapter 439
The sudden noise was significant, drawing even more eyes to their corner.
The two socialites clutched their stinging faces, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at Serena. They couldn’t believe this hick had actually dared to hit them.
This country girl actually had the audacity to hit them at the Blackwood family’s coming-of-age party?
“Childhood sweethearts? A match made in heaven p>
Serena’s cool tone was filled with mockery and disdain. “If I heard correctly, didn’t Nicholas just personally deny any relationship with Isabella and admit he already has someone in his heart p>
“Does Isabella know you’re so eager to push her into the role of ‘the other woman p>
“Or is it that you’re proud of being the kind of person who knowingly pursues someone who’s taken p>
“You The two socialites clutched their faces, their eyes turning red with fury. “Isabella has always been acknowledged as the future lady of the Blackwood family! How dare you, a damn country girl, hit me p>
They were losing their minds, completely forgetting where they were. “You bitch! You savage from the countryside! You slut who probably started selling yourself after dropping out of high school! How dare you hit me p>
Snarling, they both raised their hands to strike Serena back.
Hailey was secretly thrilled by the unfolding chaos, but she continued to pour fuel on the fire with her words. “Oh, Serena, how could you resort to violence? Even if what they said was true, you can’t just lose your temper like that. You should apologize to Ms. Harland and Ms. Winslow right now p>
“What’s going on here p>
A steady, authoritative voice
suddenly cut through the crowd. An older man in a butler’s uniform, with salt-and pepper hair but an imposing aura, walked toward them with a grim expression. He was carrying a specially prepared glass of
lemonade, his steps firm and steady.
Upon seeing him, the two socialites’ eyes lit up. They lowered their hands, deciding
not to retaliate physically.
“Patton p>
This was the Blackwood family’s
head butler a man who had been by
Old Mr. Blackwood’s side for
decades. Within the Blackwood
family, he was someone who could
speak for the old master himself. Even though he was tabutler
everyone in their circle treated him
with respect.
That damn country girl had dared to get violent on Blackwood territory!
This wasn’t just a slap to their faces; it was a slap to the face of the entire Blackwood family.
They didn’t even need to hit her back. The wrath of the Blackwood family would be the first to burn that country girl to ashes. She wouldn’t be able to withstand it. That girl would have to pay the price for daring to lay a hand on them.
The first socialite immediately pointed at Serena and tattled,
“You’ve come at the right time! This woman doesn’t have an invitation We don’t know what underhanded means she used to sneak in here. We have no idea who she is. What if she’s some kind of criminal who means to harm Miss Blackwood? That would be terrible p>
The second socialite revealed her red, swollen cheek. “Look at us! She even dared to hit us at an event like this p>
They both started talking at once, tripping over each other to tell their side of the story.
Hailey, however, froze when she saw Patton. This… this Patton, wasn’t he the old man she had seen personally escorting Serena into the estate at the entrance?
He was the Blackwood family’s butler? No wonder… Serena had managed to get into the party by seducing the family’s butler!
Watching the two socialites complain to Patton, she felt a growing sense of unease. She immediately tried to pull them back. If this butler was the one who had brought Serena into the banquet hall p>
