Her arrogant attitude struck a nerve in Rainelda “Christina Steele, I’m going to kill you!”

She lunged toward Christina as though she had lost her mind.

Christina’s eyes widened slightly, and her breath hitched. She dodged aside nimbly. Swiping at empty air. Rainelda tumbled heavily onto the grass.

When those behind her saw her fall, they rushed forward in concern. “Are you okay!”

“It hurts…” The fall had ruined her makeup, and there was a searing pain in her knees. “Whoever helps to avenge me will receive a classic Hermes bag tomorrow as a reward!”

That bag was notoriously difficult to obtain even if one had money and was very valuable.

The eyes of some in the crowd went as wide as saucers when they heard that.

Almost all at once, they turned to Christina with vicious gazes as though they had spotted a fat, juicy prey.

Sensing something off about the atmosphere, Rayne stepped protectively in front of Christina immediately. “You should think carefully about just who is standing before you. Are you sure she’s someone you can afford to offend?”

The other’s gazes mellowed a little in the blink of an eye. Even though she’s not favored, she’s still Nathaniel Hadley’s wife and isn’t someone we should offend.

The situation became tense again, and an awkward atmosphere hung in the air.

“What a bunch of good-for-nothings!” Rainelda climbed to her feet. I’m going to salvage my reputation. whatever it takes!

Her gaze was ferocious. There was no trace of the elegant air befitting a fashionable socialite she had displayed earlier.
