68 The First Enemy 4 (2/2)

”As someone who has been mingling in our society for so long, I couldn't believe how poisonous your words can be. To think you even dare to threaten someone's life!” The madam then showed her a disbelieving and disapproving expression.

When Lara tried to justify herself by saying it's not her fault and that she just couldn't accept a slut latching onto someone she admired, the master of the house once again roared, truly very angry, ”Are you really saying my daughter is like that! This... this... Oh my god! Are you really an official's daughter? Why is your mouth so dirty! Preposterous! Very...very... preposterous! Guards!”

The mayor's daughter made a stunned face, but it immediately turned savage and crazy, especially after seeing that everyone witnessed her embarrassing situation. She glared fiercely at Sofony Mendez. It was this girl's fault that she was put in a tough spot like this!

The woman was really feeling embarrassed and was having an urge to kill Sofony. She was thinking were it not for this girl, she wouldn't have to fall out with Gio. Her emotions wouldn't also go haywire, leading to her to this current predicament. She was angry because all she wanted was to make the slut distance herself from Gio. But now, look what had happened! Being thrown out had never crossed her mind!

Lara's eyes and lips trembled in hate, yet when she thought things through, she pridefully lifted her face while still wearing a fierce expression.

'They want the guards to throw me out? Huh, no way!'

She was about to walk out by herself after declaring that this party was lousy. However, this plan got thrown to nowhere when someone blocked her with words.

”Mom, Dad,” Sofony suddenly interjected.

The voice of the girl who spoke was sweet and pleasant to the ears. Her face was also as sweet and as seemingly naive.

But when their gazes met, Lara definitely saw something weird flashing in the opposite party's eyes.

”We don't have to end things like this. Really. Actually, I'm very sure that Miss Abenson was just joking with us. I suspect she is actually trying out some lines from a script. You know, I heard from an acquaintance that she wants to become an actress. She didn't truly mean those... preposterous things... that she said.”

The middle-aged gentleman Harry, who was completely lost in his father role, angrily replied, his eyes still staring daggers at Lara. ”What are you saying? My daughter! No matter what, everything she's done still can't be excused!”

”Yeah, my dear. She also clearly threatened your life! And that's... that's just too ridiculous! We finally had you back after so many years and troubles, but this scandalous woman just suddenly wants to kill you? No, no, no. I won't ever accept and forget this!” exclaimed the emotional madam. Even she didn't want to fake decorum anymore with this boastful daughter of that fatty.

Lara didn't know what play Sofony was trying to do, but she was now panting and gesturing in the air due to anger and shame. The urge to storm off was rising within her again. But when she saw the annoying pair of eyes of the other girl again, this thought mysteriously died down.

”Dad, mom. It's really not like that. Believe me. Don't make her go away, please. I don't want any of the guest leaving.” Sofony then turned her pleading eyes to Lara, ”Ms. Abenson, I understand the real situation so I'm not taking it against you. See, I'm even doing my best to convince my parents. I'm sure you won't waste my good intention by suddenly leaving, right? You won't shame me further in my party, right?”

In reality, Lara didn't want to stay as the amused and mocking stares from the guests were making her feel awkward and uncomfortable, like they were boring holes into her skin. There was also the matter of Gio denying her and the Silver couple shaming her. She was also seeing Sofony's attempt to make her stay as an act of degrading her in public.

So why would she stay?

She was Lara Abenson, the beautiful daughter of the Abensons. She had always been brilliant and was praised by others since young. Despite her crooked and shrew-like behaviors, people were still very eager to fawn over her because she was a mayor's daughter.

Men were also like that to her. The only exception was Gio. Other high-spec men might look down on her, still, they would give her face in front of other people. But Gio was different. He was cold to her all year round. But even so, aren't boys like him the type to put a girl they like in the highest pedestal? Because of this, she developed a deep obsession over him and had always been trying out ways to meet up with him and deepen their relationship.

She did her best to learn as much as possible about him. Of course, along the way, she became aware of his violent tendency and murdering of women he had bedded. But even so, she was not the least bit discouraged. She was thinking the reason they couldn't capture him was that they were slutty and uncleaned.

She was different. Her confidence stemmed from being chaste and above most women.

This was why when someone she randomly encountered this morning told her that the girl who would be appearing by Gio's side in this evening party was his secret lover, she doubted it. After all, she knew that he was into one-night-stand-plus-kill.

She had always had this idea that in order to not end up like his past women, she would have to persistently capture his heart first. So far, she had yet to succeed. However, she was not in a hurry due to not seeing any competition.

It was precisely due to this that when this anonymous someone's claim turned true, or at least the part where Gio brought a girl as a companion in a party, she immediately exploded and stormed to that girl. As someone who had been mixing in the high society, she knew the faces of every note-worthy women, and so she was confident that this girl was just a random nobody.

Since the girl was just a nobody, what right does she have to stay with the man unreachable for a beautiful and high-spec woman like her?

None, right?

Therefore, she immediately charged out, intending to teach the annoying girl a lesson.

But now, she suddenly didn't know how she ended up this way.

She, Lara Abenson, was being shamed! In front of many people, and not just any random people, but those from prominent families and the showbiz world!

Her pride truly couldn't accept it. She wanted to curse and badmouth the girl again, to make her bow down to her.

But why?

Why did she suddenly nod and amicably tried to ride along? Why did she foolishly stay and watch as the Silver couple officially announced the girl, whom she tried to paint as a shameless whore, as their long lost daughter?
