Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1486

The surrounding guests still had their eyes glued to Lorelei, huddling together and whispering with mocking smiles.

So what if she married into the Houston family?

Who didn't know exactly how she secured the title of Mrs. Houston?

Married for years, yet the number of times they had been seen together in public could be counted on one hand.

If they were in her shoes, they would never have the nerve to attend a gala like this.

Listening to the crowd's whispers, Lorelei's knuckles turned white as she gripped her purse.

A few seconds later.

She stepped forward, walking directly toward Lexi and her clique.

"What do you want?"

The girl who had been speaking had short hair. She stared at Lorelei with a haughty, arrogant expression.

"Do you know why your family sent you instead of your parents?" Lorelei tilted her head up, a flawless, radiant smile blooming on her delicate face. "It's because your mother was caught in bed sleeping with her personal trainer. Your dad beat her black and blue, and she's currently recovering in the hospital. Obviously, she couldn't make it."

"W-What kind of garbage are you making up?"

The short-haired girl never expected her family's dirty laundry to be aired out in public like this. She paled in absolute panic and immediately denied it. "That never happened! Lorelei, you dare slander my mother?"

"Eclara City Hospital."

Lorelei met her gaze calmly, speaking with a slow, deliberate cadence. "Would you like me to announce the exact room number so the reporters can go verify it?"

The short-haired girl snapped her mouth shut instantly, not daring to provoke Lorelei any further.

"And you..." Lorelei's gaze shifted to the long-haired girl on the right, flashing another bright smile. "You just said I'm practically a discarded wife with no right to attend a golden anniversary."

"Does being some rich guy's mistress give you the right?"

A rich guy's mistress?

That was a massive piece of gossip. The surrounding guests immediately buzzed with excited murmurs.

The long-haired girl came from a family with some money, but compared to the others in this circle, they were strictly lower-tier.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stooped to being Lexi's lapdog.

"Lorelei, what did you just say?" The long-haired girl's face drained of color as she demanded coldly.
