Hearing the voice of Yvonne, Rita felt sick. She looked up at Yvonne. She was standing behind Nora, looking like a follower of Nora who raised her eyebrows arrogantly. "Well, doesn't Mr. Aaron come with you?"
She glanced at the people present. Nina and Frank were almost drunk. When Nora came, Frank was dozing off. Nina pointed at her and shouted, "What are you doing here?"
With a glass of wine in hand, Nora looked at Rita. "Mr. Aaron is occupied with myriad affairs every day, so it is normal that he is not free to accompany you. Rita, are you interested in drinking with me?"
Nora invited Rita to drink with her? Was she crazy?
Nora provoked, "I got Yvonne out of jail. Are you very disappointed about that?"
"You guys are birds of a feather!" Rita did not want to talk to her anymore.
Seeing that Rita was ignoring them, Yvonne said sarcastically, "Rita, don't you dare to drink with Miss Nora? Right, how could you be qualified to stay with a woman like Miss Nora? With your poor family backgrounds, do you know how to drink? I'm afraid you have never seen this kind of expensive wine before."
After saying that, Yvonne laughed first. "What noble identity are Miss Nora? And what about you? Mrs. Aaron? That seems to really speak highly of you. You don't even deserve it!"
Nora raised her eyebrows arrogantly. "You're right. After all, she was born in a small family, so she was even not confident to talk to me."
As a lady from a wealthy family, Nora always held her own identity as a pride. Now that their relationship was so stiff, she didn't care to make it be more stiff.
Nina was about to speak for Rita, but she felt sick for the wine and went to the bathroom to vomit.
Holding a glass of wine, Nora looked at Rita with a smile. "You dare not to drink? Don't worry. since Mr. Frank and your friend are here, I won't do anything to you."
Rita knew that if she did not answer, Nora would keep talking.
Yvonne added, "Can you drink, Rita? Don't force yourself if you don't have enough drinking capacity." She turned her head and sneered at Nora. "How would Aaron bring her to a party? She even doesn't drink too much."
Nora was used to being so arrogant that she would never let go of any chance to bully Rita in such a place.
"Well, I'll give you a lesson for free today, and teach you of humble origin how you drink like a lady," said Nora, filling Rita's glass with wine, and also her own glass. She clinked glasses with Rita and said, "Bottoms up!"
Without waiting for Rita to speak, Nora raised her head and gulped down a glass of wine.
"I have drunk up mine. Why don't you drink it? You're embarrassing me, aren't you?" Nora could drink a lot. So nothing happened to her after drinking a glass of wine.
Rita was stunned. She smiled and looked at Nora. "Miss Nora wants to drink with me. I really can't reject it, can I?"
As soon as she finished her words, Rita looked up and gulped the wine down.
She could not drink. So, she choked to tears. After seeing she drank it, Nora's eyes lit up. "Come on, once again!"
She asked the waiter to open another bottle of wine and put it on the table. "Come on!"
