Chapter 6
In the evening, I was invited to attend Bethany White’s birthday party.
As expected, as soon as I entered the banquet hall, I saw Joshua sitting in the middle with Emily, who was wearing a white dress.
Seeing me, several friends from the industry gathered around to greet me.
I smiled and chatted with them.
In contrast, Emily, who was separated from Joshua, looked particularly pitiful.
After I sat down, I saw Emily get up, holding a glass of red wine, and walking towards me.
It really was the same old trick.
As she passed by me, the wine glass in her hand suddenly slipped.
Red wine splashed onto my skirt, staining a large area.
Before I could speak, Bethany White, who was sitting next to me, stood up and spoke first.
“Where did this clumsy waitress come from? Can’t even hold a glass of wine properly! This dress was a gift I gave to Sarah, a limited edition, you better figure out how to pay for it!”
I smiled. How could Bethany not know that this was Joshua’s girlfriend?
She was deliberately sticking up for me.
Emily’s face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with tears.
When Joshua arrived, he saw Emily standing to the side, tears streaming down her face, bending over to apologize to several women.
He rushed forward and hugged Emily in his arms.
Seeing me surrounded in the middle, he pointed at me, his eyes fierce.
“It’s you again, Sarah Thompson! What do you want to do to Emily? First, you abused your power to force her out, and now you’re embarrassing her in front of so many people!”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Just like in my past life.
I pointed to the camera above my head.
“Mr. Quinn, Emily spilled the red wine on my dress herself. Why are you making false accusations?”
Joshua’s face was full of disdain.
“How much is it? I’ll pay for it! But you have to apologize to Emily!”
Bethany’s temper flared up.
“Joshua Quinn, who do you think you are, demanding an apology from us? Did you forget to bring your brain when you went out today? Did you forget your own place?”
Since Joshua’s father passed away, the Quinn family had been relying on the support of the company’s veterans.
Joshua was a useless fool, and after taking over, he found excuses to fire many of the company’s veteran employees.
The company was going downhill.
The Quinn family, in the bustling metropolis of New York, was now just a small, insignificant family.
He also seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, but his ridiculous pride prevented him from backing down.
“Fine, I’ll pay for the dress, but please don’t bother Emily in the future.”
Bethany showed Joshua the market price of the dress.
Thirty million dollars.
I could clearly see Joshua stiffen.
He couldn’t afford that much money right now.
Unless he embezzled public funds.
He gritted his teeth and said,
“Okay, I’ll pay you within three days.”
Emily was shocked when she saw the price.
But after hearing Joshua’s willingness to compensate, her face was filled with uncontainable joy.
She looked at me with a triumphant, provocative look.
I just found it amusing.
I deliberately wore my most expensive dress today.
For this very show.
The next day, I saw the extra digits in my bank account.
Joshua Quinn was truly audacious.
The day of the bidding soon arrived.
Without the disturbance of the Quinn family’s antics, I felt much better overall.
I entered the office, full of energy.
Until I saw Joshua’s proposal, my eyes widened in shock, The content he proposed was exactly the same as the content in my bid document from my past life!
