“Keanu, you’re here,” said Elise as she lifted her skirt and hurriedly walked toward Samantha and Keanu.
She smiled sweetly at Keanu before turning to Samantha and worriedly said, “Samantha, look at the online news. Many people are smearing you.”
She didn’t control her volume either. People who had no idea about it were searching for the news on their phones now.
They immediately began to whisper to each other, spreading the news.
Even in upper–class high society, one couldn’t hide the tendency for people to have gossipy nature.
What was more, this was associated with a secret of the Johansson family in Elstunda.
Everyone was curious about what other drama could pop up at this point.
The bigger the scene made by the Johansson family, the more the other families could reap the benefits.
At this time, Elise’s sidekick, Mollie, also came over and snorted at Samantha, saying. “Why don’t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? How dare you show up to Elise’s birthday banquet? You don’t feel embarrassed, but we feel embarrassed on your behalf!”
“Why are you embarrassed on my behalf?” asked Samantha as she smiled and looked coldly at Mollie, “It turns out that you are so thick–skinned that you can even feel embarrassed on behalf of others. I have neither heard nor seen someone like this before.”
“You!” Mollie shouted as she pointed at Samantha angrily and said, ‘Samantha, you are such a shameless person!”
“Oh So I’m considered shameless just because I said you’re thick–skinned while you are considered virtuous for saying that, I’m an embarrassment? Samantha sneered. “Elise, you should be careful when you make friends. After all, you are marrying into the Baxter family in the future. What will happen if you get badly influenced by friends like this?”
Elise’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Keanu subconsciously.
Keanu wore a dark blue haute couture suit, and his temperament still looked indifferent.
His cold eyes drifted to Mollie and scared her enough to immediately shrank back behind Elise.
“Useless idiot” cursed Elise inwardly.
Elise quickly covered up the anger in her heart and said, “Keanu, the banquet is about to start. The elders of our family are waiting for us. Let’s go quickly
“All right,” replied Keanu gently and then walked forward.
He didn’t even bother waiting for Elise.
Elise looked at Keanu’s tall and handsome back and felt as if countless eyes filled with mockery were staring at her.
Everyone was ridiculing her that she couldn’t even keep Keanu’s attention on her.
“It’s all Samantha’s fault!” she fumed inwardly.
“Elise… Mollie mumbled as she cautiously pulled at Elise’s sleeve
“Get lost, growled Elise in a low voice, and then she adjusted herexpression before following behind Keanu and greeting the people around them with a graceful smile.

Molhe bit her lips and stared menacingly at Samantha’s back.
Mollie thought, How come that woman has become so beautiful after six years?
Plus she had become so eloquent.
In the past, Samantha would only cry when I satirized or bullied her.
Now, she can even mock me back, and Elise is unhappy with me because of her.
She is so despicable!
A man sat on the couch with a wine glass in his hand and swirled the red wine in his glass.
He followed Samantha with his eyes and had a wicked smile on his face.
Then he narrowed his eyes
His sidekick shrank subconsciously because he knew that it was a dangerous signal emitted by Gideon
Usually, if Gideon wanted to do something unthinkable, he would put out this signal.

The next second, he stretched out his right hand, which had an emerald ring on one of his fingers, and pointed toward Mollie.
“Ges that woman out of here! Let our buddies have fun with her, said Gideon.
His sidekick, Bradley, shrank his neck, answered yes, and hurried to arrange for someone to do that.
Gideon’s mood was getting more and more unpredictable.
It was terrible that Gideon wanted to deal with a girl who was not in direct conflict with them so casually.
It was self–evident what would happen when he sent a woman into that wolf den filled with men who only beat up and killed people day in and out.
After that interlude with Samantha, everyone toasted each other, and the banquet began.
Darius, Lucille, and Elise stood on the high platform in the middle of the room and thanked everyone.
The three of them put up a front of being harmonious and loving toward each other.
Samantha sat on the couch, lifted her wine glass, and took a sip of the wine.
“This is far from satisfactory,” Samantha mumbled.
“I’ll take you to drink something better next time.” Suddenly, a familiar male voice sounded in her ear,
Samantha turned her head and looked over.
Francis was dressed in a black haute couture suit and sat beside her as if it was natural. Today, he was dressed mo and looked more handsome than usual. The noble temperament of a wealthy and powerful scion was evident.
He had a high nose bridge, and his lips looked just right as he posed it.
formally
At that time, he sat with his back straight and his long legs crossed. He had a hazy look in his deep–set eyes, which made prople want to disperse the haze and find out what was inside them.
Samantha felt that those eyes looked very familiar.

It seemed that she had seen those eyes somewhere before.
And it was deeply engraved in her memory.
Isaac, who was standing at the side held Ryland’s hand and headed somewhere else.
As a son who had his parents‘ best interest, he wanted to give them space to be alone.
“Only in this way could Daddy bring Mommy home as soon as possible…” he thought.
Samantha noticed that Ryland, who had been beside her, was gone. She pursed her lips and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I was worried you will be bullied, Francis replied.
Samantha widened her beautiful eyes and asked, “Francis, did you hit your head somewhere?”
Francis chuckled, and his cold temperament suddenly softened.
“My head did get hit,” he agreed.
Simon stalked over with his long legs and looked teasingly at Francis and Samantha.
Then, he met Samantha’s angry stare and almost wanted to run away in fear.
“No way, beautiful! It was just an unsuccessful attempt at flirting. Don’t tell me blurted out.
Samantha sneered, “So it turns out the two of you are together in this.”
Therefore, Francis must have sat in the car at the school gate the other day.
will kill someone to silence them?” Simor
Perhaps that man in a slutty pink suit had been instructed by Francis to hook up with her.
“I know he is a scumbag stud!” Samantha thought.
He was hooking up with women in the middle of the street and was still playing hard to get!.
Good thing Samantha was smart and alert and was used to seeing scumbags like him. If it had been any would have become giddy and obsessed with those scumbags just because they were wealthy and were slightly good-
other women, they looking.
Maybe they would even get pregnant with twins.
Maybe Samantha was previously cheated off by someone in that way.
At that moment, Samantha was staring at Francis and Simon with contempt.
Simon was speechless. “Excuse me? Did I do something wrong again?” Simon wondered.
“I don’t know him, mumbled Francis.
Simon sat next to Francis and moaned, “Come on, Francis. Hoes before bros? Have you forgotten the days when we worked hand in glove in everything we did?”
Samantha looked even more contemptuously at them. Hand in glove. It was exactly as what she had guessed.
Francis suddenly became cold and still, He narrowed his eyes and snapped, “Simon, if you say another word, I will throw you out immediately

Simon was speechless. He thought, “What did I do wrong this time?
Am I full of mistakes from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet?”
Elise, who was being fawned upon by others, smiled sweetly and looked satisfied.

Someone said. “I heard that Mr. Jovani Xinos praised Elise on the spot at the piano competition. Mrs. Johansson, I envy you for having such an excellent daughter.”
“That’s right. Mr. Jovani Xinos said he wanted to accept a last mentee. Elise is surely the right candidate for it. Let me congratulate you in advance, Elise, another person gushed.
“By the way, I have never heard Elise play the piano live before. It just so happens that there is a piano here. Why don’t you play a song for us and broaden our horizons?” someone else asked.
Elise lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Lucille tried to smooth things over and said, “Elise has been tired from practicing for her preparation for the competition these days. Her finger is slightly injured. If she plays today, she might not be able to perform to her standard.”
“Oh, it doesn’t matter. Even if Elise loses her standard, her performance will still be top–notch,” someone chimed.
Under the flattery of everyone, Elise had no choice but to perform.
She chose one of the piano pieces that she was best at.
