Audrey regained her senses as she felt the questioning gazes on her from all sides. She nearly failed to maintain her facade.
By then, she was sure that Isabella had deliberately made those embarrassing remarks just to mess with her.
She felt wronged. Why was Isabella always making things hard for her? Given Alexander's relationship with the group of friends, Isabella should be closer to them. How could she side with outsiders to undermine her? Huh? What's with Audrey's look? Is she blaming me? My goodness. She is so full of herself.
