Lost Me Gained Regret

After I had my say, I couldn't be bothered to stick around. All I wanted was to go find Christine.

"Why should I leave??"

Judie, taken aback by the security guard's blunt eviction notice, glanced over at me in confusion. "Her, who is she..."

Dorothy glared at me viciously, then turned to the security guard and said, "Oh! Now I get it. That explains why a designer like her has been hanging around. She's having an affair with you, isn't she?!"

"Mind your language!" The security guard frowned. "Ms. Webster is a distinguished guest. Your insults..."

"Distinguished guest?" Judie grew even more anxious. "She's whose guest? Could it be... Ms. Taylor?"

But as soon as she said it, she seemed doubtful.

Dorothy was even more incredulous and, feeling humiliated by the whispers of the onlooking guests, turned red with rage. She stormed over to me, teeth gritted, and hissed, "Jane, what tricks are you playing now? Grandma may defend you, but Bella has her own daughter. What right do you have to be at such an important event..."

"Am I not enough?" A cold voice came from behind me!
