Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 154 I Am not a Cannibal

The young, attractive woman spun around, showing off her great figure.

She shot me a cold, disdainful look, but then her eyes dropped to the tear in her dress, and she looked shocked. "Did you do this on purpose? You actually stepped on my dress and ruined it?"

Her shout got everyone's attention.

I really hated myself for being so clumsy. The more I tried to stay low-key, the more things went wrong.

I knew an apology wouldn't cut it, so I just smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to."

This woman clearly wasn't someone to mess with and wasn't going to let it go.

She raised her chin and crossed her arms, looking at me arrogantly.

"Didn't mean to? I really need to ask the hotel manager if they have no standards for hiring people. Can anyone just get a job here?"

It took me a few seconds to realize she thought I was a server.

"I'm not a server here," I explained.

Just as I finished speaking, a man in a white suit walked over.

"What's going on, Lilly?"

The woman named Lilly instantly transformed from a haughty queen to a whining little princess. She twisted her waist a bit and pointed at me to complain to the man. "This woman stepped on my dress and ruined it. How am I supposed to perform later?"

It seemed she was a celebrity invited to perform tonight. But I didn't recognize her, so she probably wasn't very famous.

"Alright, alright. Don't be mad."

The man hugged Lilly to comfort her, then looked at me sharply.

"Tell me, you stepped on Lilly's dress. What are you going to do about it?"

At this moment, Bella appeared out of nowhere. Sensing the tension, she immediately stood protectively in front of me, giving the couple a wary look before turning to ask me. "Emily, what's going on?"

Afraid that Bella might escalate the situation, I quickly pulled her behind me and sincerely said to them, "I'm very sorry. I'll pay for the dress."

As soon as I finished speaking, Lilly let out a cold laugh.

"You say you're not a server, so if I'm not mistaken, you must have snuck in to see the celebrities, right? I've seen plenty of people like you. Pay for it? This dress is a limited edition. Can you afford it?" Her words were indeed harsh, and she looked down on me.

I could tolerate it, but Bella couldn't. She snorted. "See celebrities? Who? You? Just because you played a few mistresses, you think you're Oscar material?"

Hearing Bella's words, I took a closer look at Lilly and remembered that she did play a minor role as a homewrecker in a TV show.

Bella's words infuriated Lilly. As more people gathered around, she felt humiliated and suddenly stepped forward, throwing her drink at us.

She mainly aimed at Bella, but I pushed Bella aside, so the drink splashed all over my face.

The crowd grew larger, whispering and watching my embarrassment.

Inadvertently, I saw Faye in the crowd, a gloating smile on her face.

Bella was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.
