Matthew was so wonderful and had such a good family background. How could he be together with such a freak!
Matthew must have been seduced!
Rainee's red lips parted, and her tone was dark, "Yet, unfortunately, there's a beggar girl that made her way into such an elite party. She is from a low-class family, has no background and is poor. However, this woman is here tonight with all of us socialites and gentries. Who does she think she is?"
As she said that, there was an uproar below the stage.
Everyone was whispering to each other.
"Why did the daughter of the Yeager family say something like that? This is so inappropriate."
"Anyway, who is she talking about? Is there actually a woman from the lower class who made her way in here?"
"It really lowered the standards of this party. Oh my God, I don't want to be in the same party as a poor woman."
Selina smiled at Matthew and said, "You'd better stand further away from me, because I think Rainee will announce that I'm the beggar girl soon enough. Even if all her claims were untrue, I will still be very embarrassed later and since you're standing beside me, you'll end up being embarrassed too. So it would be wise for you to stay away now."
Matthew's eyes looked gentle, "Selina, no matter what happens, I won't stay away from you."
Selina was indeed a daughter of a rich family. Regardless, even if what Rainee said was true, he would have never stayed away from her either.
The corners of Selina's lips twitched, "Up to you."
Below the stage, Matheo's face turned pale.
He didn't expect his sister to do this.
The day before, Matthew and Rainee had talked so much and yet, it seemed like Rainee hadn't taken it seriously at all. Instead, she went even further and tried to humiliate Selina on such an occasion.
Matheo regretted it.
He really regretted that he didn't tell Rainee about Selina's real identity after being interrupted the day before, because now she was causing such a big commotion.
Just as Matheo was about to rush up the stage and pull Rainee down, Rainee continued further, "Do you all know who this poor woman from the
lower class is?"
After that, her fingers pointed at Selina. Her eyes were full of pride, contempt, and jealousy, "The woman is her!"
Countless pairs of eyeballs turned to look at Selina.
Selina smiled and accepted these people's gazes.
Several of Rainee's besties were the first to jump up and say, "This woman, it's her. We have seen her. She is a little beggar freak from the countryside. She is so poor!"
"Look at the dress she is wearing tonight. It must be a counterfeit that she bought from the market!"
"Someone like her is not qualified to be here with us at all. Why should we let the people from the lower class circle take part in our upper class party!"
Matthew's face darkened all of a sudden.
The man's usual gentle and elegant vibe vanished into thin air, and he looked extremely cold.
He strode forward and walked up the stage.
Rainee was stunned when she saw Matthew coming up onto the stage.
She looked at Matthew nervously, "Matthew..."
Matthew ignored Rainee.
He grabbed the microphone from Rainee and said in a deep voice, "Everybody, my apologies that I haven't introduced her to all of you earlier. She is my wife, my legal wife."
After connecting the dots with what Rainee said earlier, everyone suddenly understood who Matthew meant by "she"!
Earlier, Matthew had only introduced Selina to a few good friends who were present. The others didn't know about her. However, he had now made it clear to everyone present.
At that moment, everyone was shocked.
Rainee was about to cry.
