Chapter 104
As Gloria hated seeing the two, she dragged Rachel and walked away. “Let’s go.”
Rip! Just then, a sound pierced between the quartet.
“Ah!” Amber screamed. “Gosh, Tina-your dress!”
Unfortunately, it was already too late by the time Rachel realized it. Her heel had been on Tina’s dress right then, tearing the white lace apart with an accidental step and causing a big hole in her outfit.
“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?!” Tina exclaimed, her face filled with fury.
Meanwhile, Rachel hastily stepped aside. At that moment, they heard another ripping sound. It turned out that her heel was stuck in the hole she had just made on Tina’s dress, and Rachel ended up enlarging the hole as she jerked her leg away, and it seemed rather ridiculous.
I’m sorry!
“What are you signing about?” Tina was utterly vexed as she exclaimed. “You must have done it on purpose! You want to embarrass me in front of everyone, don’t you?” As she spoke, she shoved Rachel away.
“Be careful, Rachel!” Thanks to Gloria’s swift senses, she quickly held onto Rachel before getting in front of her. She then said, “It’s just an accident. It’s pretty obvious to me that Rachel was trying to apologize. What do you want more from her? It’s just a dress!”
“Just a dress, you say?” Amber crossed her arms. “Oh, little girl! Do you know how much effort was put into making this dress? A craftsman from Italy spent one whole year sewing every single thread with his own hands! This dress could buy an entire city!”
While Amber was adding fuel to the fire, Tina yelled with a dull face, “Security, send her out of the building!”
At once, the security guards rushed over. When the guards grabbed Rachel, she staggered and almost fell, feeling so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide herself. Upon witnessing this, the people around them had no idea who she was, and they gave her judgmental stares while criticizing her.
Seeing this, Gloria shouted, “How are you all being so unreasonable? Let go! Let go of her!”
“This is my engagement banquet! This is my house! Who are you to give orders?”
Tina proceeded to leer at her guards. “What are you waiting for? Send her out right away!” she yelled.
Tactfully, the security guards tossed Gloria outside the premises as well.
“Ah!” Gloria shrieked as both women fell onto the ground simultaneously.
Out of the blue, a figure walked out from the shadows of the crowd. When he saw that the two of them had collapsed to the ground, Justin hurried over and helped Gloria up before interrogating Tina, “What’s the big deal?”
Once Gloria got up, Rachel, who was still lying on the ground, felt the weight off her. Although her knees were still tingling, she forcefully supported herself against a table beside her and barely managed to stand up, all the while remaining silent.
For some reason, Justin withdrew his extended hand as he looked at Rachel in confusion.
“Did you bring her here to throw shade at me, Justin?” Given Tina’s temper and the fact that she was the highlight of the night, she was remarkably bold. “She deliberately destroyed my dress and ruined my banquet! How is she going to pay for this?”
To that, Justin’s eyes darkened. “So that’s why you had the guards throw them out?”
Immediately, Tina was stunned.
“Who laid their hands on these women?” Justin swept his gaze across the squad of security guards, who instantly lost their uniformity upon the man’s intimidation.
“Perhaps I should break all of your arms!” As he casually spat those words, the room consequently got quiet.
Among the crowd, some stared at each other in a baffled manner while others gasped out of shock. Rachel was stunned as well, for she had never expected Justin to be this outraged.
