The hall recovered its order. Everyone interacted as if what happened just now did not exist. In their talks privately, though, mockery about Giselle was made.
Marcus pulled Cordelia to dance. The latter was not good at it, but no one could see that with the man’s lead. They gained a round of applause after the song ended.
Giselle was shaking in anger while Yelena glared at her.
“Useless!”
“Yelena, you—”
“Don’t you label yourself as a socialite? Don’t men buzz around you?” Yelena was fuming. “You can’t even take care of Marcus! Look at your cowardly response once he said that he had killed someone! What are you if not useless?”
Giselle pressed her lips together. She was also disgruntled. She had agreed with Yelena that they would embarrass Cordelia at the dinner, only for it to turn out to be herself.
When she first met Marcus, she was also attracted by the latter’s tall and handsome appearance. When he told her that he had killed someone with a smile, though, the dark sharpness in his gaze, the bone-chilling frost in his smile, and the sense of pressure he exuded all sent chills down her spine.
She must have been bored of life to seduce a murderer!
Giselle said after a moment of silence, “Yelena, we can win this back!”
Yelena was still fuming as she glared at Cordelia, who was farther away.
“Whatever method it is, the goal will be achieved as long as you overpower Cordelia, right?” Giselle spoke in a hushed tone. “Her man has a shameful past, but your man is different!”
Yelena paused. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you have a photo with Mr. Z Hamerton?”
