"You... what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever do this on purpose?" Diana retorted angrily.
Maria replied coolly, "Oh, so it wasn’t intentional? Then you bumped into me and didn’t even apologize? That’s just bad manners."
"You!" Diana was stunned, not expecting this woman to be so sharp-tongued.
She had no idea how to respond.
Maria crossed her arms and said, "Well? Still not going to apologize? This dress isn’t cheap, you know."
The champagne had spread over her dress, and Diana recognized it as a new luxury brand piece, worth thousands. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to pay for it but spending that much on a dress seemed unreasonable to her.
Just as Diana tightened her grip on her glass, about to say something, a figure approached her and asked, "What’s going on here?"
Diana turned to see Sidney. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she spoke in a pitiful tone, "I was just walking by, and this lady suddenly stood up. The champagne accidentally spilled on her dress, but she’s been yelling at me, not letting it go. It wasn’t on purpose."
Maria raised an eyebrow, glancing at Sidney beside Diana.
Hmm… What was he here for? Backing Diana up?
A hint of a smirk appeared on Maria’s face.
Sidney looked at Maria’s dress, then said, "It’s just a little champagne. It’ll dry off soon."
"Oh?" Maria arched her brow slightly. "So, you’re saying she splashed me with champagne and doesn’t even need to apologize?"
Sidney’s eyes lingered on her before he said, "I’ll apologize on her behalf."
"You’ll apologize for her?" Maria let out a short laugh, as if she’d heard something amusing, then asked, "Who are you to her? Why do you think you can apologize on her behalf?"
Diana’s eyes flickered slightly before she wrapped her arm around Sidney’s, saying, "It’s my fault. I’ll apologize to the lady myself."
