Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)

Dorothy chuckled, feigning a block, "Come on, Judie, don't underestimate her. Who knows, she might have snagged herself a real catch, a millionaire perhaps. And someone might just come to back her up in a bit."

"Dorothy, you're literally Myers family royalty! You're not really scared of her, are you? I mean, you said it yourself, she's an orphan. Even if she does land some rich guy, do you really think they'd bring her home?"

Judie Harvey scoffed with disdain, "Anyone invited by Ms. Taylor to this dinner party is from a well-matched family. At best, they'd just toy with her. They wouldn't seriously risk their reputation over some scandalous affair, would they?"

The younger brother who had tried to strike up a conversation earlier couldn't stand it anymore and started to defend her, "No, actually, she was just with Ms. Taylor..."

"Enough,"

People of this social circle simply didn't regard common entertainers highly, no matter how famous or successful they were. In the end, wasn't it all about the money?

Dorothy cut him off, "I know you're going to say she knows Ms. Taylor..."

"What?" Judie suddenly panicked. "She knows Ms. Taylor? Why didn't you say so earlier..."

"It's not what you think."

Dorothy pretended to clarify but was actually stirring the pot, "She just designed some clothes for Ms. Taylor, that's all. She's probably just here to deliver them. And you know, she's been divorced. Dressing all fancy now, probably trying to land a second husband. Ms. Taylor surely wouldn't stick her neck out for a small-time designer. But if you're scared of her, we don't have to bother..."

Judie, probably spoiled rotten at home, immediately felt emboldened again and sneered, "A divorced woman? Who here do you think she could possibly match?"

The brother frowned, "Why do you have to talk like that?"

"It's okay."

I smiled at the brother, calmly watching Judie, and said softly, "Match with Gregory, what do you think?"

"Gregory?!" Judie was taken aback,

as if she'd heard the joke of the

century, laughing out loud and

attracting quite a few guests' attention. She asked the

surrounding people, "Did you hear that? This divorced woman thinks she can snag Gregory Ford, the heir of the Ford family! That's hilarious!"

"Before trying to snag Gregory, you might want to check out his track record!"

Jealousy flashed across Judie's

face as she disdainfully enlightened me, "He's been waiting for his childhood sweetheart, who went missing over twenty years ago,

not the type to be swayed by Ne's

women! Otherwise, with all the high Society dames in Vista Town, how could you even dare to dream?"

Some guests, probably also having a crush on Gregory, chimed in, "Exactly, hey, we've never seen you at any social gatherings before. How did you even get in here?"

"In that case, we should just kick her out! We wouldn't want to offend someone important. Everyone here could get dragged into it!"

"Right!" Some who hadn't spoken up, hearing this, joined in the chorus.

Dorothy's triumphant smirk was so pronounced, it was almost bursting at the seams!

I smirked coldly, ignoring them, and went straight to a security officer, pointing at Dorothy and Judie. "Those two are making too much noise. Could you please ask them to leave?" "Yes, Ms. Webster!"

The security officer immediately complied.

Just how affectionate I was with Bella when we entered, how long we spent in Bella's lounge, and the importance of tonight's guest list were all well known to the security team. Thus, they knew very well who could be offended and who couldn't!

Dorothy wasn't even on the guest list to begin with. As for the Harvey family, they were a last-minute addition, apparently because they had a business partner with a slight connection to Ivy. They had given their partner a whopping five percent discount to secure this invitation.
