Chapter 141

Kristin pounded her heart with confusion as she sensed Rhett’s anger directed towards her. Her back tensed, and she bowed her head, unsure of how to proceed.

Did Rhett take offense?

“Take him away and grill him,” Eddle commanded with a dark expression, casting a meaningful glance at Nicola and snorting disdainfully.

Feuds between high society’s elite were often spectacles for the masses.

If the incident didn’t affect Eddie personally, he’d be more than happy to watch the drama unfold.

But now, Nicola had dragged him into her scheming, which was a different story.

Struggling to breathe, Nicola nearly lost her balance.

Her assistant rushed to her side. “Madam, are you alright? Shall we proceed to the venue?”

“Forget it!” Nicola snapped.
