“Miss Vera’s works are all so trendy. That’s why she’s so well-liked by everyone. I admire her a lot too. If that’s the case, we’ll go look for her.”
After Yvonne heard this and when she saw the two of them about to walk away, she pretended to trip and fall.
Then, just as she expected, the two men helped her up in a gentlemanly manner.
Yvonne turned around and thanked them gratefully. Then, she showed a surprised expression. “A- Aren’t you Mr. Lewinksi? Hello, I’m contestant number six for the jewelry competition, Yvonne Yaleman. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
She told them her name before pretending to have a relationship with them while thinking she was being smart.
“Actually, I should be at home drafting tonight, but I heard Miss Vera is here so I came over! I love Miss Vera’s work. Her designs are all so unique and trendy. I decided to learn jewelry design because of her! However, I’ve been here for some time and I still haven’t seen her.”
Yvonne even lowered her gaze in fake disappointment.
The two poised men smiled politely after hearing what she said. “What a coincidence. We’re also Miss Vera’s fans.”
“Really? I guess we’re really brought together by fate!” Yvonne exclaimed in exaggeration.
When she was about to pretend to be obedient and lovable, she heard the man in front of her pointing to a distance behind her. He exclaimed, “That’s Miss Vera! She’s over there! Let’s go to her.”
Yvonne turned her head and realized that the woman in white she saw at the hotel entrance earlier was the Miss Vera the men were talking about.
Actually, she did not know who Miss Vera was. Her goal was to worm her way into having a relationship with these two men and curry favors with them so that she could have a higher chance of winning the competition.
She wanted to defeat Niamh no matter what!
When she saw the two men walking over, Yvonne followed behind them as well. She started exclaiming like an excited fan before the two men could say anything. “Miss Vera, I’m finally meeting you! I’m your super fan!”
The woman in white turned around calmly after she heard that. “Are you talking to me?”
When Yvonne saw her gorgeous face, she froze instantly.
She did not expect the Miss Vera who they were praising to be Niamh Delgado!
After thinking about it, she was also named Vera and the person they were complimenting was Miss L.ady’s head jewelry designer, Vera Quinn.
Vera Quinn was Niamh Delgado!
Yvonne felt like an idiot. Initially, she wanted to worm her way into having a relationship with these two men, but now, she was just asking for trouble and humiliation.
When Niamh saw Yvonne’s constipated face, a look of surprise appeared on her delicate face. “Why are you here? When did they release you?”
“…”
When everyone around them heard that, they started having suspicions about Yvonne.
“Release? Miss Vera, do you know this person?”
“Yeah, how would I not know her?” Niamh lifted her gaze and smiled softly. There was a sharp glint in her alluring eyes. “This is the author of the trending article about how I abused an old man,” she said with a smile, causing Yvonne to look more and more embarrassed.
“However, what’s interesting is that a week ago, she was brought away by the police. The reason she was brought away is that she’s the one who abused the old man.”
Gasp.
Everyone started looking at Yvonne with looks of disdain.
“So, the thief was crying thief.”
“People can really do anything when they want to get famous.”
“I didn’t! I didn’t do anything like that!” Yvonne explained with her face red. “If I really did something so heinous, why would they release me?”
Niamh asked calmly, “Do you want me to play the video of you abusing the old master to everyone? I still have the original file from that night.”
“…” Yvonne pouted. She gritted her teeth and did not have the guts to say anything.
She had lost all of her confidence.
After all, she had really done that.
“Why are you here?”
Yvonne trembled when she heard Kendrick’s voice out of the blue.
She lifted her head abruptly and Kendrick’s upright, handsome figure walked into her vision.
He strutted over. Despite his icy expression, he still looked handsome.
Yvonne was still attracted to him. She felt jealous when she saw Kendrick holding Niamh’s shoulder when he walked over.
To everyone, they were the perfect match made in heaven.
“I’m asking you, why are you here?” Kendrick asked in annoyance.
Yvonne stammered, saying, “A-Aunty Karen brought me here.”
After she said that, a commotion broke out from one side. Niamh looked over and saw Karen fighting with a waiter in black.
Karen lost all of her graceful manners and was pointing at the waiter furiously. “So what if I don’t have an invitation? I know the host of this party! Do you know who my son is? How dare you kick me out?! You—”
“Oh, my mother-in-law is here as well. I was wondering which shrew is causing trouble at my parents’ charity dinner,” Niamh said while walking over with a small smile on her face.
Karen knew that Niamh was acting like she was trying to get her out of this mess, but in reality, she was jeering at her.
However, she did not care about this anymore. She only wanted to preserve her image.
“Did you hear that? This is my in-laws’ dinner party! I can come and go as I please. Do you think I need an invitation?” Karen glared at the waiter arrogantly.
“This is not a place where anyone can just come to. However, for the sake of my precious daughter, you can stay.”
Eloise and Sean walked over slowly. They were obviously disgusted with Karen.
Karen saw that the crowd was still gossiping about her. Moreover, the wealthy women who used to hang out and have afternoon tea with her were also laughing at her. Karen felt her face heating up, and in that instant, she felt like a clown. Her elegant and magnanimous manner was completely ruined.
Niamh smirked when she saw Yvonne and Karen getting into embarrassing situations one after another.
Then, an old man who was dressed extravagantly walked over from the crowd. He looked at Niamh with admiration and smiled.
“Is this Miss Montgomery? I finally get the honor of meeting you tonight.”
“Eveline, this is Sir Calver. He’s the previous chairman of our charity. He’s also your father’s good friend.” Eloise introduced.
Niamh smiled politely and shook hands with Sir Calver. “Hello, Uncle Calver.”
“Hello, hello. Miss Eveline, you’re so beautiful. The dinner tonight will be dazzling because of you. I wonder if I can ask you to play a song for us as the opening act for the charity dinner?”
“Play a song?” Niamh lifted her gaze to see a black piano in front of her.
Karen smirked. She was excited to see Niamh mess this up. “Hmph, you were humiliating me just now. Finally, it’s your turn.”
Yvonne walked over. “Aunty Karen, does Niamh know how to play the piano?”
“She doesn’t know squat! She was like a maid when she was living with the Delgados. Do you think she was able to touch something as expensive as a piano? If that piece of trash didn’t have Kendrick, then she’d be nothing!” Karen gritted her teeth and jeered.
A sinister smile appeared on Yvonne’s face as well. “Hmph, she was so arrogant and proud of herself just now. I’m gonna have the time of my life humiliating her later.”
However, after she finished saying that, she saw Niamh sashaying over to the piano elegantly. She sat down, and her long fingers pressed down on the keys.
As her fingers glided against the keys expertly, ‘Mariage d’amour’ resonated in the hall soothingly and melodically.
Karen and Yvonne were beyond shocked.
Had they not established that Niamh was a piece of trash who knew squat about playing the piano? Then, what was this she was playing now?
After their shock, Yvonne was even more envious of her. Niamh was stunning with her gorgeous look and elegant demeanor. She could not imagine anything more beautiful right now.
Niamh sat there as she basked in the light glow of the chandelier. She looked like a princess, or rather, a queen in a dream as she ruled over everything in front of her.
Kendrick watched Niamh with love and admiration. However, there was a hint of loneliness coming from his eyes.
Niamh and Kendrick left before the dinner ended.
The inside of the car was abnormally quiet on the way home.
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s frigid face through the rear-view mirror. Then, his hands felt nervous as they gripped the steering wheel.
“Nia,” he called out softly. When Niamh turned over, she could not hide the sharp glint in her eyes anymore. “You remember, don’t you?”
Niamh smiled after staying silent for two seconds. “Shouldn’t you ask me if I’ve shifted my personality?”
She laughed, her tone getting more and more sarcastic.
