Tables covered by nice tablecloths were arranged in a line on both sides of the room. On them, beautiful cakes and pastries were placed in fancy plates and expensive wines were poured in crystal glasses that were laid up like a pyramid. Everything looked perfect.
The waiter was still trying to lead the way, but Ashley suddenly stopped. She saw an old friend.
Lena was chatting with several girls who were around her age.
"Oh my god! Lena, is that the ring he gave you? It's so pretty!" A girl in a short light yellow dress took Lena's hand and looked at the ring that was on one of her fingers.
"That is so pretty! And the way it shines... Oh my god! That at least weighs five carats, I bet! It shouldn't be a big deal for Raymond though. He is the son of the Luo Group's CEO after all. I'm sure he is generous!" said the girl in pink dress. The dress was knee-length and covered with pearls. Because of that, every time she moved, light reflected off of them and it made her look like she was sparkling.
The girl also had beautiful, long, blonde hair, and with her features being so delicate, she was very stunning.
Her tone sounded very jealous as she looked at Lena, who was obviously enjoying the compliments she was getting.
"Oh yes, you should all be jealous of Madame Lena. Raymond is not only generous to her but also adoring, and he is willing to do anything for her. No one else would have such luck as her in finding such an amazing fiance!"
Lena's little helper said, further flattering her. The helper wore a long light green dress. Her hair was in a great updo, which really complemented her overall style. While she looked cute, it didn't look nice when she kept trying to cozy up to Lena's good side.
She immediately spoke for Lena when she smelled the oncoming showdown.
It was not unusual for rich girls to get jealous or be someone that other girls got jealous of.
Some of them would fight for it, and the rest would take sides.
A girl sneered, "It's just a ring. I don't really know why you are making a big deal out of it." The girl who just spoke wore a body-tight black dress that was slightly above her knees.
It showed her perfect figure. She used a hairpin made by white jade to lock all of her hair up on the back of her head.
Her face looked impeccable. Her eyeliner was perfectly black, identical on both eyes, and the way it went up made her eyes so cat-like. Her skin was tight but it looked so soft. Truly, she was the mix of an angel and a devil. Because of this, she easily stood out of all of the girls around her. However, it seemed like that she didn't want to fit in with the girls around her. A smile was gracing her plump lips as she looked at Lena, who was in turn, looking so scornfully at her.
"It's just a five-carat ring. If you really like it, I will pick one for you next time," she said.
"Really? Thank you Caroline!" said the girl in the pink dress. Her face turned red because of rage when she heard what the girl in the light green dress said. But when Caroline opened her mouth, she immediately smiled and scurried on her side.
Then, she swaggered forward, towering over the girl in light green dress, and sneered, "Who do you think you are? You're just someone else's dog. A dog is a dog. Without a leash, it just gets excited about every little thing and barks at everyone it sees!"
Now it was the girl in the light green dress to feel angry. Lena felt humiliated too.
"Caroline! What are you doing?" With an exasperated expression on her face, Lena questioned Caroline who just lampooned her as her face got redder and redder by the second.
