'But why is Shirley as annoying as a fly?' wondered Jean. Jean was not a dessert, but Shirley somehow managed to swarm near her.
It was obvious Jean hated being around her, yet Shirley never took any of these clues.
Deep down, Jean knew that Shirley was aware of her distaste. Yet she bothered Jean and received some satisfaction from doing so.
'Why is she doing this?
Why can't she just go away from here?' thought Jean pleadingly.
"Can't you tell that we have no interest in talking with you?" asked Maranda unafraid. Maranda knew that Jean was too nice to say anything, hence wanted to help her.
Hearing this comment, Shirley eyed Maranda coldly and sneered. "Who are you? Who gave you the right to meddle between me and my sister?"
"Your sister? What a joke!" Maranda said, letting out a sneer. "Jean, have you ever treated her as your sister?"
On hearing her words, Jean shook her head without hesitation. "I have already broken up with the Wen family. As a result, I have nothing to do with her."
"Jean, how could you say that?" Shirley replied, feigning sadness.
"Why shouldn't I say that?" Now Jean raised her voice a notch and challenged Shirley.
"You..." Shirley stared at her fiercely. Seeing Maranda and John frowning and gazing at her unhappily, she tried to calm down. "Jean, you will regret treating me like this one day."
"I will wait for it." Not minding her threat, Jean answered casually.
"Well, let's wait and see." After that, Shirley proudly walked to the crowd, acting like she owned the place.
"Oh, disgusting. Why do we meet her everywhere?" Maranda muttered it under her breath unhappily.
"Everyone attending the party tonight has an invitation. She must be invited by someone." John replied, looking equally angry.
Thinking of something, Jean felt uneasy.
She couldn't help looking in the direction of Benjamin. But there was only Dan beside him, and Jesse had disappeared from the spot.
With her expression suddenly altered, Jean hurried to walk.
"Jean, where you go?" Maranda was shocked to watch Jean move so quickly.
"I'm going to the restroom." As soon as Jean finished, she sprinted to the corridor, not wanting to waste any time.
"Did you notice Jean? She is acting weird ever since she saw Shirley," commented Maranda, as soon as Jean was out of sight.
"Jean must be wondering who invited Shirley." John answered, looking thoughtful.
"Who can it be? Don't you know?" Maranda asked, expectantly thinking John knew the answer to this.
"Oh, I don't know. I'm not in charge of inviting guests." John answered while he smiled.
Not finding any answer, Maranda could do nothing, so she let out a dejected sigh.
On the other hand, Jean searched everywhere but couldn't find Shirley anywhere. This disappearance made her feel very uneasy.
She looked around worriedly while thinking about this horrible situation she was in.
Feeling lost, she tried to comfort herself by saying that it was just her mind over thinking the matter.
After all, the people gathered here were either rich or powerful.
Jesse wouldn't get any good out of creating trouble here.
What's more, Shirley wasn't a fool to fall prey for such a plan.
Thinking about this, Jean felt a little more relaxed and composed.
When she saw the restroom was not far from here, she walked toward it.
Just after she sat on the toilet, Jean heard two women walk in.
