My Destined Lover

Chapter 8 The Slander



“What’s wrong? Isn’t it inappropriate?” Laura nearly can’t help smiling, especially for Lily’s funny expression, which was like eating shit.

“No. Hurry up.” Lily’s attitude was much colder than before.

Accompanying the frustration all the way, Lily felt relief when she arrived at the party. Lily was the apple of her family, who grew up in love. In the top drawer of New York society, she’s really in her element at parties.

On the contrary, Laura was forgotten.

“The one who came in with you, is that your sister?” Lily’s best friend, Henna, stared at the red figure not far away.

“Sister, what sister?” The people around heard this and perked up instantly.

They had never heard that Mr. Taylor had another daughter!

Lily took a sip of red wine in embarrassment and said coldly, “Laura, because of poor health, was raised in the countryside. She came back yesterday, because of the marriage with the Browns.”

Everyone listened and instantly lost interest. Although the Browns in New York was powerful but married to Marcus, the sick man, clearly showed her status. The Browns probably did not even care about Laura. Lily always grew up in love, how could her parents be willing to wed her to the patient?

Dylan, the youngest son of Mr. Smith coldly interjected, “So, why you bring her here today?”

This question can be said to ask exactly as Lily wishes, and smiled at Dylan sadly, “she just comes here, so interested in everything. She insisted on following me to the party. The clothes she wears are mine. She rubbed it before leaving.”

The soft tone of voice, together with tears in her eyes, was really a pity. Dylan’s stomach was immediately in knots.

Henna also hurriedly smoothed Lily, ” Well, Lily, you don’t need to be upset over her bad manner.

“My family owes her … I … am okay with it.”

Lily tried to be decent but was implying in words that she was bullied by Laura. The people around her were so anxious that said together to persuade. The impression of Laura, the person with whom they met once only, was poor to the extreme.

On the other hand, there was no one Laura know. The only thing that she can do was to find a quiet place to enjoy the desserts. Although the party was not good enough, the desserts were really tasty.

When she was just about to sit down with a small delicate plate, she heard a sharp and sarcastic laugh from behind her, “Do you know anything about social etiquette? You’ve disgraced the Taylors.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Laura turned around and looked at the speaker – a stranger with a mean face. She was probably a friend of Lily, who like to use her friends to set off her own innocence and harmlessness. Laura curled her mouth, and said in puzzlement, “What?”

“I said …”

“What?” Laura still looked like she didn’t understand. The repeat conversation drove Henna mad and raised her voice. Lily is right. Laura is rude and unbearable, she thought.

Laura smiled, elegantly sat down, held her chin, and looked up at the furious Henna, “Oh, shouting is what your so-called etiquette? “
