Oops, my bad! The carpet was uneven, and I tripped. Let me buy you a new dress,” Sandra quickly apologized, her tone genuinely sincere.

But her faint smile was impossible to suppress.

Joycelyn turned her head slightly, glancing at Ellison, who was casually holding a glass of champagne. The pleased look in his eyes said it all.

She immediately knew who let Sandra do that.

Bellina had never been so humiliated in her life. Enraged; she grabbed her wine glass and hurled it straight at Sandra.

Sandra swiftly dodged, causing the glass to fly past her and smash onto a woman standing behind her.

The woman shrieked, clutching her head.

Though the glass itself didn’t cause a serious injury, the wine splattered down her face, making for a horrifying sight.

By her side, Payton immediately pulled out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and started dabbing at her face. His expression was filled with displeasure. But when he turned and saw Bellina, his gaze softened.

“Belle, are you alright?” Payton asked with concern, still holding onto his girlfriend.

His girlfriend’s face turned stormy. “Payton, she’s the one who hit me, and you’re worried about her?”

Payton reassured her, “It’s an important occasion. I’m sure she didn’t do it on purpose. Calm down, go clean up. Everyone’s watching. You don’t want to lose your composure.”

“She did it on purpose! She needs to apologize!” The woman fumed. She had just been humiliated in front of all these high- society guests. Her hair was soaked, her dress ruined, and her dignity crushed. She could not let it slide.

“She’s still a kid. Getting too angry over this will just make you seem petty,” Payton said patiently as if he were scolding her instead of Bellina.

“What?” The woman was furious. She shoved him away and stormed off to the restroom.

“Belle, go change your dress. More guests will be arriving soon. You don’t want to embarrass yourself any further,” Lily whispered, lowering her voice to console the fuming Bellina.

As Lily turned to Sandra, her tone dripped with sarcasm.
