Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 386

A stifled laugh broke out.

All eyes fell on Hailey, and then on Marianne’s neck.

Hailey and Marianne’s faces instantly flushed crimson with humiliation and fury. They shot daggers at Serena.

“Y-You’re lying!” The pain in Hailey’s face flared with her anger. “You’re one to talk, wearing a knockoff. What right do you have to judge me? My gown might be outdated, but at least it’s authentic! And you? All you can afford is this fake!”

As if trying to reclaim her dignity, Hailey thrust the gold-stamped invitation in Serena’s face. Even with her face swollen like a balloon, the smugness in her expression was obvious. “See this? This is our invitation to the Blackwood family’s banquet! I am a formally invited guest of the Blackwoods!”

“And you’re just a lowlife from the slums, dressed in counterfeit clothes! Your only skill is using cheap tricks to sneak into the Blackwood banquet so you can seduce the wealthy heirs here. Marry into a wealthy family? Keep dreaming!”

In her fury, she had completely forgotten to maintain her carefully crafted persona.

All she wanted was to slap Serena in the face with the invitation in her hand.

Serena’s cold gaze swept over the invitation in Hailey’s hand.

It was actually real.

“Just because your mind is in the gutter doesn’t mean everyone else’s is. Don’t project your filthy thoughts onto me.” Serena’s eyes were like ice as she glanced at Hailey’s swollen face, a mocking smile playing on her lips. “But... even if you did get into the banquet now, I doubt any of those young masters have the stomach to be seduced by you.”

Hailey stamped her foot in fury. “You—!”

She knew it. Serena had done this on purpose.

She deliberately slapped her.

She deliberately wanted to ruin her chances of marrying into a wealthy family!

“Furious at being exposed?” Serena scoffed, her gaze growing more contemptuous. “What? Now that Adrian is a hundred million dollars in debt, you’re ready to dump him and find another sucker?”

“Serena!” Benedict’s face darkened. This adopted sister of his was becoming more and more disagreeable, acting as if the Wynn family had truly wronged her, all prickly and defensive.

Even if the family had neglected her in the past, they had at least raised her!

They gave her a roof over her head and food on the table.

When she tried to win them over with her cooking, they ate it.

When she tried to please them with massages, they let her.

When she made them custom fragrances to appease them, they used them.

…

They were all so busy. The fact that they even accepted her attempts to please them was already a form of acceptance.
