The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 674

Patti Yale's gaze lingered on Gwyneth, her eyes noting the staff badge clipped to her chest. The corners of Patti's mouth curled in a faint, dismissive smile. So this is who was making a fuss—just another low-level employee.

"Gwyneth, we're here to help with the exhibition, not start trouble. This woman— she's the one who was buying jewelry at the mall the other day. She used Mr. Everhart's card."

The colleague's voice dropped to a whisper, glancing nervously at Patti, "She made quite an entrance when she arrived. We really can't afford to cross her. Besides, everything here belongs to the Everhart family. Which means, technically, it's all hers too."

"Did you hear your friend just now?" Patti drawled. "At least she knows her place. This whole event is hosted by my fiancé's company. He's busy, so he couldn't make it today, but so what if I broke a bit of glass? What are you going to do about it?"
