Chapter 115:

Kallie regained her composure and quickly typed a message on her phone to show to the waiter, clarifying that the invitation was indeed from Miss Simpson and that there might have been a mix-up.

The waiter’s mocking laughter intensified, filling the room with disdain. “So, what are you saying? That Miss Simpson had someone send a fake invitation just to mess with you?”

A ripple of murmurs spread through the crowd.

“That’s not possible. Miss Simpson is the kindest soul. She wouldn’t stoop to such methods, even if she disliked someone,” one guest commented.

“Seems like she’s trying to pin her own slip-ups on others,” another added with a dismissive click of the tongue.

A chill ran through Kallie’s limbs. It dawned on her that she might have been set up. Was Miss Simpson behind this? She couldn’t fathom why. She had no known quarrels with Miss Simpson.

“What is happening here?” a crisp, authoritative voice sliced through the murmurs, capturing the room’s attention instantly.

Kallie turned around to see a figure making her way forward gracefully.

The woman was dressed in a light blue gown that radiated sophistication and an air of authority. Her expression was neutral, her eyes carrying a hint of iciness.

This had to be Miss Simpson, Rachel Simpson.

Rachel scanned the room until her eyes landed on Kallie, irritation clear in her gaze. Immediately, someone stepped forward to clarify the situation.

As the explanation unfolded, Rachel’s expression grew stern. She approached Kallie, her stance somewhat confrontational. “Miss, I’ll be honest. Recent incidents involving you have really put me off. I find you quite annoying. But that doesn’t mean I’d stoop to this level. Please, be more vigilant and stop pointing fingers at everyone else.”
