“I teach you a lesson”
Rainelda raised her palm and swung it toward Christin’s cheek.
Slap
A crisp sound rang out, and the air stilled Everyone looked over
There, they saw a red handprint on the cheek of a woman in a tassel dress
“Are you okay, Rayne?” Christina asked Rayne concernedly as soon as she returned to her senses
Rayne had somehow appeared before Christina in the nick of time and received a tight slap across her
face
On the verge of tearing up. Rayne held her cheek and answered. “I’m fine…”
No one would want to embarrass themselves in an event like that.
“How are you fine? Your check is all red!” Christina was livid when she saw the handprint on Rayne’s cheek.
Rayne was worried about the studio’s reputation, so she pulled Christina’s hand and whispered. “Forget about it, Christina. Let’s get out of here.”
Rainelda was thrilled when she heard Rayne telling Christina to leave. An unrecognized designer like her shouldn’t have the audacity to offend me.
She grinned and shouted haughtily, “Buzz off! You’re embarrassing yourselves!”
It had been a while since Christina had met someone as despicable as Rainelda.
She said to Rayne, “We’re not leaving until she apologizes to you.”
At that moment, she seemed like a completely different person.
Instead of behaving sheepishly like before, she became as fierce as a lion.
Someone nearby recognized Christina and approached Rainelda cautiously. “Perhaps you should apologize. She’s Mr. Hadley’s wife.”
“Mr. Hadley’s wife? I’ve never even seen her attending social events with Mr. Hadley!”
“I bet Mr. Hadley finds her status humiliating, so he never bothered bringing her out.”
