Chapter 17 You're Beautiful
Emily's slaps seemed to exert all the strength in her body, causing Sophia to stagger back several steps and collapse to the ground.
Sophia's makeup today was meticulously done, and her clothes were specially chosen, the latest from Burberry. They weren't available in stores yet; she had to rely on Nathan's connections to acquire them.
But now her clothes were all dirtied, her makeup smeared off, revealing rough skin underneath, mottled like a zebra.
Nathan reached out to help her up, but was taken aback by Sophia's makeup-smeared face. "Sophia, what happened to your face?"
Since he had known Sophia, she had always been meticulously made-up, considered quite beautiful. During their intimate moments, she would insist on turning off the lights, and he had assumed it was due to her shyness. He hadn't expected her real appearance to be like this once her makeup was off...
Sophia panicked, covering her face with her hands, exclaiming, "Where's my bag? My mirror and foundation? I need to touch up my makeup..."
Olivia sneered, "Nathan, I thought your brain was the only problem, but it seems your eyes aren't functioning well either, falling for such a creature."
Nathan watched Sophia run off in embarrassment, struggling to touch up her makeup, feeling a mix of emotions.
"Olivia, what are you trying to do?"
"I'm not trying to do anything. I just can't stand you and Sophia bullying Emily! Just because Emily has a good temper and doesn't confront you doesn't mean no one will stand up for her! Nathan, I'm telling you, you better control that ugly monster Sophia. If she dares to be arrogant in front of Emily again, don't blame me for not being polite!"
Olivia stood with her hands on her hips, pointing angrily at Nathan, who couldn't even muster a response.
Having vented her anger, Emily felt relieved, but with more and more people gathering around, she didn't want to continue. She grabbed Sophia's arm and said, "Olivia, thank you for standing up for me and clearing my name. Let's go."
Olivia, having had her fill of cursing, clapped her hands. "Let's go, we'll go have a drink."
They quickly left the crowd, Olivia leading her to a secluded spot at the end of the deck.
She laughed heartily, hands on her hips. "Haha, Sophia looked so ridiculous just now! Emily, did you see it? Nathan's face turned green when he saw her makeup smudged!"
Olivia was a bit impulsive, but Emily had to admit, after the scene they had just caused, she felt quite relieved.
"Thank you, Olivia," Emily hugged her. "Thank you for standing up for me. I'm not good at arguing, always getting the short end of the stick in front of Sophia. I'm grateful to have you."
Olivia's gaze softened as she patted her back comfortingly. "You just think too much for others, Emily. You need to be more confident."
Emily had a thought, "Mr. Satan also told me the same thing."
"He told you to be more confident?"
"Yeah, he's told me more than once."
Olivia chuckled, "Well, that proves it's not just me who thinks that way. You're smart, beautiful, and have a good personality. Who wouldn't like you? Except maybe that idiot Nathan, who can't see your worth."
