Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 52

"Lacey!" A scream suddenly rang out. 

Lacey instinctively turned her head to look. 

Just like that, Theo's kiss landed right on her face. 

Immediately afterward, the crowd erupted in a commotion. 

"What are you guys doing?" Sophia came running over. 

Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Lacey and Theo. Her expression was that of a betrayed wife. 

Lacey frowned and reached out subconsciously to touch her cheek, which Theo had just kissed. She appeared to be a little off-kilter. 

What made her even more awkward was when she looked up. 

A pair stood just across from her. 

With deep, never-ending eyes, Sam was staring over. 

A woman with a similar face to hers sat next to him. Her lips slightly raised at the corners.

"Sophia, what are you doing here?" Theo looked annoyed that he hadn't been able to kiss Lacey on the lips. As a result, he came across as a little harsh. 

Sophia was genuinely shocked. She looked at Theo, who had spoken to her in such a harsh tone the first time and couldn't respond in time. 

When the host saw the scene, he rushed to talk and lighten the mood. 

The music player immediately played music and turned up the volume. 

The gaffer also quickly shone the light on Sam and Lillianna. 

They hoped to distract everyone's attention. 

Still, the crowd's eyes remained locked on Lacey and Theo.

After all, Lacey had a bad reputation. Even so, she managed to hook up with Mr. Henderson! 

Scenes like this were truly fascinating. 

"What did you two try to do? Did you want to kiss her? Were you guys planning to do such a nasty thing in public?" Sophia asked red-eyed. 

Nasty thing?

Lacey smiled helplessly. 

Ms. Garrison's interpretation of the word "nasty" was quite distinctive. 

"What are you smiling at?" Sophia gave her a stern look. "Everyone knows you're a sleazebag. Since when have you been invited to my house? Get the hell out of here!" 

"Sophia, what are you doing?" Theo grew upset.

"Theo, are you defending her?" Sophia's eyes welled up with tears all of a sudden. 

Meanwhile, Lacey was starting to get a headache. She turned around, eager to get out of this mess.

"How could you scream at me over her?" Sophia, however, erupted in anger just then.

Lacey was unsure whether she should leave at this point.

"What kind of nonsense are you on about? Stop it!" Theo took a step forward and reached for Sophia's arm. 

Sophia, on the other hand, quickly retracted her hand and refused to let him hold her. "Take a close look at her, Theo. Do you have no idea who she is? Everyone in South City recognizes her as cancer. Who isn't aware that she deceived her brother-in-law and is willing to sell her body for money?" 

With that said, the music abruptly came to a halt. 

The host, who was holding the microphone, was astounded as well. 

Theo noticed that everyone around them was staring over.

He couldn't help but look at Lacey with worry.

"She's good for nothing. She's nothing more than a vixen and a mistress. Why would you be attracted to this type of woman? Your parents would never approve of her!" Sophia sneered. 

"Sophia!" Theo was furious. He grabbed Sophia by the arm and dragged her out. 

"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go—" Sophia struggled to flee. 

"Who are you to talk about me like that?"

Just when Theo grabbed Sophia's arm and dragged her past Lacey, Lacey spoke coldly, with sarcasm in her tone. 

Once again, the crowd froze. 

Lillianna, who was across the hall, wanted to step up. However, Sam grabbed her wrist and stopped her from approaching further.

Confused, she looked up. The man, on the other hand, seemed cold and calm, his gaze fixed on the three people on stage. 

Lillianna dared not move again.

The truth was, she didn't want to go up at all. She wanted Lacey to get embarrassed.

She wished for everyone to despise Lacey even more. 

Yet, if she didn't go up to help, it'd be evident to others that she intended to humiliate Lacey.

Even if others remained silent, the man next to her would negatively impact her.

"What exactly did you say?" Sophia took a pause and looked at Lacey in disbelief.

Lacey sneered. Her pretty face was filled with mockery. 

"Who are you to talk about me like that, Sophia!" Lacey repeated her sentence. 

Sophia's pupils gradually dilated. 

She could hardly believe Lacey dared to speak to her like that! 

Did Lacey have any idea who she was?

"Who are you to yell at me and get all huffy?"

Lacey spoke as she hovered around Sophia. "You're nothing more than a spoiled brat who takes advantage of your parents' wealth. I bet you wouldn't survive if you were thrown into a strange city!" 

She smirked and added, "You call me a sleazebag? How would you feel if it was you who was starved for three days!"

"I'm a good-for-nothing, you said? Even if I am one, is this something you, the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family, should say? With that kind of attitude, what's the difference between you and those shrews?" 

Sophia's face turned gloomy at that. " You—"

"To put it frankly, you're nothing more than a parasite living under your parents. Those who are similar to you, on the other hand, will not shame their parents, even if they cannot offer them glory. Meanwhile, you're a parasite of a whole different kind. Not only are you keen to embarrass yourself, but you want the whole of South City to know about it! How original of you!" Lacey chuckled. 

"What did you say?" Sophia's face stiffened, and she began to tremble.

"I made it very clear last time that you will only disgrace your parents if you do not change your arrogant habits. Since you are the daughter of a wealthy family, you should behave like one. Of course, if you choose to be a shrew and want to be shameless, you are free to do so!"
