"Stephanie, isn't this hilarious? Is your ego hurting?," Margaret's voice was very soft.
To others, it looked like Margaret was being kind as she helped Stephanie up.
"You!" Stephanie was gnashing her teeth with hatred.
This b*tch was mocking her.
She really thought she was something amazing.
The sudden anger made Stephanie become irrational. All of a sudden, she reached out and shoved Margaret away.
Margaret let out a soft cry and stumbled a few steps back.
Her delicate but fragile mermaid tail dress was torn because of Stephanie's shove.
Margaret's fair, beautiful ankle was exposed, which made her look even more alluring.
"Miss Stephanie!" Regar furrowed his brows and shouted, "Please leave this banquet!"
What?
Leave the banquet?
The moment Stephanie pushed Margaret away, she suddenly remembered that she was still at the banquet.
If she was really chased out, she would become a joke.
The headline next day was likely to read: First Star to be Chased Out of a Banquet.
"Mr. Regar, you've gone too far. After all, Riley Jewelry invited me as a guest to the banquet. How dare you chase me out!" Stephanie yelled in protest.
"You're the one who's gone too far." Mr. Regar's prominent facial features were evidently filled with disgust. He continued, "You tried to hurt our brand's spokesperson at the Riley Banquet. If you don't leave, I'll personally have security 'escort' you out."
Regar stressed the word 'escort'.
As long as one had a brain, they would know what Regar meant.
Stephanie looked as white as a sheet as her entire body started trembling uncontrollably.
She had thought that this trip to Riley Banquet would be a great time to show herself off.
She did not expect this to happen. She was dragged right through the mud and had been harshly humiliated.
"Also, I, Regar, once again announce in front of everyone that going forward, the name 'Stephanie' will never see the light of day at any event that Riley Jewelry participates in!"
Did this mean Riley Jewelry was going to blacklist Stephanie?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Just a few days ago, Facebook had an explosion of posts saying that Stephanie was going to be the spokesperson for Riley Jewelry. Yet, here she stood now, shamefully blacklisted by the company.
Life was really like a soap-opera.
"Hurry up and snap a shot. This is insane."
In an instant, the reporters gathered like ants around the scene, taking photos of the events that had unfolded.
"Do as you wish. No one cares!" Stephanie's eyes were red. She had always been spoiled by others. Even before she got popular, she had always been treated with respect for being the daughter of the Simons family.
However, Riley Jewelry was not afraid of the Simons family. So, they had no problem treating her however they liked. For a moment, Stephanie was unable to cope with the sudden shift in treatment.
"Regar, how great do you think Riley Jewelry is? It's not like I'm dying to be the spokesperson for your stupid company anyway!" Stephanie glared at him. "Last chance - If I leave here today, I'll never participate in any activity related to Riley Jewelry in the future."
"Security!" Regar raised his voice, unbothered by Stephanie's empty threat.
D*mn it!
Stephanie was so mad that she was trembling all over. She quickly turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a gentle voice stopped her.
It was Margaret.
Stephanie's face instantly lit up in delight. "What is it, Margaret? Have something to beg me for?"
"You ruined my dress just now, which is fortunately insured. I'll have the compensation bill sent to you soon. Remember to pay for it!" Margaret tilted her head and smiled.
