Chapter 317 Love... I knew it. (1/2)

On the side, Aubrey Ning who was conversing earlier with one of her friends in the business industry had her attention caught by the commotion. Thus, Aubrey Ning and her friend were more than delighted to watch a great show that normally happens in this kind of event.

Alas, the moment she saw that it was Lexi, she was somehow puzzled by her appearance tonight. Nevertheless, assuming that Lexi had made an acquaintance with Ethan Lu because of his interest regarding the skincare industry, she never really gave any thought about it.

When Lexi finally rebutted the ever troublesome Stella Du that always gets her in trouble because of it, Aubrey Ning let out a chuckle as Lexi did get her good on that one.

”I— Lexi Yang, why are you turning this on me?!” Agitated, Stella Du ground her teeth as she glared at the low verbal attack Lexi just made.

”Hah! That Stella Du, of course, she's also delusional for competing to get the attention of Master Lu!”

”Duh? As if she has a chance. For a girl as tactless as her— in her dreams!”

”Tsk, those two are both worthless to even dream to be the future Madam Lu.”

”At least, Lexi seems as if she's really not here to join the competition as her rumored boyfriend is with her.” Again, comments from the side, especially from the upper-class young misses, snickered as they spat their disdain and opinions. In an instant, with just a few sly sentences from Lexi, the crowd split in half as not only the dislike to her but also Stella Du who could not admit her intentions.

”Uh... what's really going on?” Still at loss, Elliot Gong scratched his jaw with the tip of his forefinger as he could not understand a thing. Well, maybe he did but he could not understand why this Stella Du person was so adamant to court death.

First, slandering Lexi who was, by the way, Ethan Lu's goddess that he worshipped day and night. Second, she was doing it in Ethan Lu's event— in his event! And lastly, why would she even think she stood a chance... or rather, why would the rest of the ladies think that they could even stand a chance?

Couldn't they see Lexi? Are they blind? Even other men around them were enthralled by her beauty the moment they laid their eyes on her. If only Elliot Gong didn't know any better, he would probably have the same gaze as other men but, knowing his dearest friend Ethan Lu, he wouldn't dare nor even think about it.

”You!” Just then, Evelyn Lu who was comatose inside her mind finally snapped back from her reverie. The moment she regained her consciousness, she heard Stella Du's last remarks and other comments that agitated her to the core.

Her sudden action of pointing her finger and aggressive countenance slightly made Lexi flinch and caught Stella Du's attention. ”Me?”
