She had lost all her dignity!
She refused to accept this!
She was the number one socialite of Vaelion City. If she allowed herself to be publicly humiliated like this, how could she ever show her face in high society again?
The surrounding guests didn't say anything out loud, but their eyes were practically gleaming with mockery.
Bianca couldn't stand being looked at like a joke.
She had to reclaim her dominance.
She had to prove she was the undisputed queen of the social scene!
At that moment, Nicholas, having seen that Serena had the situation entirely under control, returned with fresh pastries and fruit.
He naturally picked up a piece of cake with a silver fork and lifted it to Serena's lips.
Serena parted her lips and took a bite.
Her movements were incredibly lazy.
It was as if Bianca didn't even exist in her world.
Clenching her fists, Bianca roughly shoved away the debutantes trying to hold her back and locked her gaze onto Nicholas.
The man was currently catering to the girl.
His movements were incredibly gentle.
The eyes visible beneath his black angel mask were so tender they seemed to melt.
That aura of cold, untouchable nobility radiated from him, completely unhindered by the mask.
This was an absolutely top-tier man!
But ever since the two of them entered the banquet hall...
This man had been trailing behind the woman, handing her water, offering her pastries, peeling her fruit, and wiping her hands.
He acted exactly like a... submissive boy toy.
Well, what kind of decent man would willingly follow a woman like that anyway?
With his physique and aura, he was probably just a high-end escort trained at some elite club.
Bianca let out a cold laugh, suddenly shifting her target to Nicholas. "Hey handsome, you've got pretty good potential. What kind of future is there in following a woman like this? Why don't you come work for me instead?"
"I'll pay you ten times her rate."
She sneered, pulling a sleek bank card from her designer clutch. Pinching it between two fingers, she waved it in front of Nicholas's face. "Right now, if you tear that mask off her face and give her two good slaps, all the money on this card is yours."
The truth was, Bianca was genuinely attracted to him.
His body, his vibe...
With a casual flick, she snapped the bank card right out of Bianca's grip and sent it flying back.
*Smack.*
The rigid edge of the bank card whipped violently against Bianca's cheek.
The sharp, crisp sound.
Echoed exactly like a heavy slap across her face.
"Get the hell out."
Serena lifted her gaze, her eyes chillingly clear. The lazy, careless vibe surrounding her vanished instantly, replaced by a suffocating drop in the room's atmospheric pressure.
It felt as if all the oxygen had been sucked out of the space in a split second.
What kind of trash dared to set their sights on Nicholas?
Bianca flinched, genuinely terrified by her gaze.
Her face went completely white, then twisted into something incredibly ugly.
Had she actually just been intimidated by this cheap tramp?
Desperate to salvage her shattered pride, Bianca threw her hand back, aiming a vicious slap straight for Serena's face—
