57
There were many socialites from famous families around Leia. They were all admiring and flattering her. Leia's pretty little face was so happy and she got so carried away.
At this moment, Leia saw Arabella. Leia approached her quickly. "Bella, you are here. Just now I was so worried that you wouldn't come and witness my very happy moment with your own eyes." Those famous socialites also approached them.
"Leia, you are too kind. Arabella was once Mr. Spencer's fiancée. You invited her over. Don't you worry that she would ruin your party due to her jealousy?"
"She's married to the very sick Mr. Lucero in Floweret Garden. Her husband is probably torturing her every day. He may die any time and she will become a widow then. Even though Arabella and Leia are half- sisters, they have very different destinies. This country bumpkin can never compare with the real exalted daughter. See, Leia is Mrs. Spencer already."
"Mr. Spencer made the right choice. He ditched that bumpkin long ago. Mr. Spencer and Leia are the perfect match."
As she listened to what they said, Leia looked at them in displeasure. "Stop making fun of Bella like that. She is already pitiful enough."
Arabella just watched how they made fun of herself. She wasn't angry at all but thought it was funny. It was normal for dogs to lick boots anyway. Now, Leia was Melvin's fiancée and belonged to one of the four wealthy families. This grand party also showed how much Melvin loved her. She had a reason to be proud.
Leia was so eager to invite her to the engagement party, just to embarrass her.
At this moment, Caitlin also approached them. Recently, Caitlin had been very upset since she and Seth were estranged from each other. However, her daughter's engagement to Melvin brought her utmost glory, so she looked delighted today. She was wearing a custom-made cheongsam with a navy-blue fur stole. She was graceful, luxurious, and full of feminine charm.
"Bella, you're here. We invited famous socialites in Hardgrad to this engagement party. Don't you want to mingle with them and get to know everyone? Leia, introduce Bella to more of them, so she doesn't have to secretly buy and wear a well-imitated dress and say with a pitiful look that we didn't take her out."
The family was now different from the past. At that time, Leia was only the daughter of the Snyder family. Now Leia was Melvin's fiancée. Caitlin looked down on Arabella as they were now related to the Spencer family.
Sure enough, those rich wives moved away from Arabella.
"Mrs. Snyder, our daughters are all famous daughters. The bumpkin who just came back from the countryside doesn't deserve fawning over them. We won't take her out."
Arabella was isolated. Everyone in this engagement party was hostile towards her.
Arabella smiled slightly. She expected this. Since she dared to come, she wouldn't care about them.
After all, the real show hadn't started yet.
One would only fall harder after having climbed too high.
"Mr. Spencer, congratulations!"
Then came Melvin.
Arabella looked at Melvin.
Melvin was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and tie today. He was already a handsome and gentle man, but he looked even more handsome today.
Leia quickly approached Melvin and held his muscular arm, to show that he belonged with her. She said in a sweet voice, "Melvin, Bella is here to wish us happiness."
Melvin had already noticed the commotion here and had taken everyone's hostility towards Arabella to heart. He looked at Arabella and smiled. "Where's your lover? Why isn't he here to protect you?" Arabella's bright eyes looked at Melvin and said in front of everyone else, "You were right. I have seen his true colors. He is a scumbag. Now I know how nice you were to me. Melvin, don't get engaged to Leia today, okay?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone gasped.
