It had been three years, yet just thinking about it still made Chloe's chest ache.
By now, a lot of people were staring at her, whispering amongst themselves.
"That's just too much, seriously. That little brat did it on purpose."
"Yeah, Chloe, is she really your sister? How can she be so nasty?"
"How could Leah be so unfair to her? I mean, Chloe might not be her biological daughter, but after twenty years, doesn’t she feel anything?"
Chloe's story had quickly spread among the ladies of the Eldridge Elites social circle.
The young girls were outraged on Chloe's behalf. A few of them, who had just messaged Chloe, were nearby and saw the whole scene. They hurried over to her.
Chloe said, "It's okay. I'll go to the restroom and clean up."
"With all that wine? No way you can clean it all up. Kaitlyn, go get Chloe a clean outfit, will you?"
"Chloe, come with me upstairs. I'll find you something new to wear."
Chloe looked up and saw that the girl speaking was the redhead girl who had stood by Marian earlier.
She was strikingly beautiful, and unlike the other girls in their formal evening gowns, she wore a casual outfit – an orange tank top and dark blue jeans.
Chloe felt an instant warmth towards the girl, Kaitlyn. She didn't refuse the offer. After all, her dress was soaked through, and the red wine was glaringly obvious against the white fabric.
"Thank you, Kaitlyn."
Chloe followed Kaitlyn and took a side elevator upstairs.
