Chapter 108
What Maisie meant was Pearl had no power as a guest here.
Pearl looked around at the people whispering to each other and realized something.
She crossed her arms. “Which family do you belong to?”
Maisie shrugged and didn’t answer.
Willow walked next to her and said, “We‘re the Vanderbilts. She’s my sister.”
The Vanderbilts were famous too.
Maisie touched her forehead. The Vanderbilts had money, but they were not considered
elites. Why would she say that out loud?
“Vanderbilts?”
Pearl asked, “What Vanderbilt? I’ve never heard of you.”
Great, Willow was caught in a tough spot.
Everyone there seemed to know and started whispering. “Vanderbilts? Vanderbilts of Vaenna?”
After Pearl heard them, she covered her mouth but laughed. “Vaenna Jewellery? That small jewelry company? You’re nothing compared to La Perla.”
Willow lowered her head, biting hard on her lip.
But something came to her mind. She looked kind and generous, “Ms. Santiago, Vaenna was founded by my sister’s mother. By saying that, you’re insulting her late mother.”
Maisie squinted. Was Willow trying to get out of the spotlight by moving the attention onto her? No way!
Maisie pretended to be shocked. “That was a long time ago. Vaenna fully belongs to you now. I f Vaenna is being trashed, how could you, as the owner, push the responsibility aside? 3
“Furthermore, you’re famous now, the genius designer. You were able to create such great designs not long after you started learning. I’m really impressed.”
Kennedy almost laughed upon hearing what Maisie said.
She walked to Pearl. “Ms. Santiago, I’m sure none of the designers at La Perla are as talented t o be able to create work like this not long after they begin, right?”
Pearl gave Willow a sidelong glance. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Willow was imploding with anger. How dare this woman mock her!?
“I- I didn’t-” she almost cried, as if Pearl was bullying her.
Pearl looked even worse when she saw that. She stared at Maisie. “Are you trying to provoke me?
“Hah, I couldn’t care less about Vaenna or your new jewelry company. You didn’t even get a chance to collaborate with Taylor. Why would you even stay in this business?
“The socialite party has lowered their class by inviting you over. Did you sneak into this place?”
Kennedy couldn’t take it anymore. “Ms. Santiago, please be more careful with your words. We walked in through the front door.”
“Show me your invitations,” Pearl crossed her arms. “I want to see why they invited you.” Kennedy wasn’t impressed. “You’re being so pushy. Aren’t you afraid that your father would b e ashamed of you?”
Maisie laughed drily. “She’s not afraid of anything. Her father is always there to clean up after her.”
Pearl lost her cool when they mocked her. She walked to Maisie and shoved her. “That’s nonsense!”
Maisie wasn’t ready for her sudden attack. Everyone there was stunned beyond words,
Willow was secretly celebrating.
Maisie, who was pushed, suddenly looked cold. She fell backward toward the wine bottles and glasses behind her.
