Chapter 44 Sorry, I'm Late
"Don't worry. I'll handle it," said Cheryl with a smile.
Cassie had never thought that attending a banquet was such a troublesome thing.
The party began at about eight o'clock in the evening, but Cassie actually had to do the care, change the dress, do the hairstyle and pick up gifts from three o'clock in the afternoon. It was already half past six in the evening. It would take nearly thirty minutes to go to Mrs. Carla's home from the West Mountain Linyu.
Cassie's shoulders were trembling. Cheryl noticed her nervousness, said: "Well. Are you really so nervous?"
After taking a deep breath, the car stopped in front of Mrs. Carla's house.
Cassie plucked up her courage and got out of the car. The driver said, "Mrs. Dylan, remember to tell me when you want to leave."
Cassie nodded.
Mrs. Carla was standing at the door to receive guests. She looked good because of her good maintenance. She was wearing a cheongsam and an emerald diamond necklace around her neck.
Cassie came all the way under the moonlight. Mrs. Carla recognized her at the first sight. She walked up to her, held her hand and said, "Is this Mrs. Dylan?"
Cassie said, "It's me. Mrs. Carla, you'd better call me knitting."
On the way here, Cheryl told her that Mrs. Carla had a good relationship with Pearl. Pearl didn't have a daughter, and Dylan's mother had passed away a long time ago, so Mrs. Carla often went to accompany her, so they became familiar with each other.
Mrs. Carla looked at Cassie up and down, patted her hand and praised, "Good, good, good. Cassie. Don't call me Mrs. Carla. Dylan has always called me aunt. You can call me aunt too. By the way, why didn't Dylan come with you?"
Cassie smiled, "He has a meeting tonight, so I have to come here on his behalf. Will aunt blame him?"
Mrs. Carla smiled and said, "Of course not. He asked you to come here."
Cassie hugged Mrs. Carla politely. Mrs. Carla patted her hand and said, "Go inside and have fun. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me."
Cassie nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, my God. I'm so nervous," Cassie whispered to Cheryl.
It was the first time that she had attended such an occasion alone. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
With a smile on her face, Cheryl said in a low voice, "Mrs. Carla is easy to get along with. I'll keep an eye on them and send the gifts to them. It's not easy to do the Chinese painting. I'm afraid that they might break it."
Cassie nodded, "Go ahead."
When Cheryl was about to leave, Cassie walked into the room in her high-heeled shoes.
The heating made her feel better. Many ladies and debutantes gathered near the spiral staircase. The moment Cassie came in, all kinds of eyes were focused on her. She was a little embarrassed, but she still smiled politely.
She didn't know what to say, so she just smiled!
"Hey, look, is that Mr. Dylan's wife?"
"Yes, yes. I saw the live broadcast of her and Mr. Dylan two days ago. Mr. Dylan loves her so much."
"How can we envy such good luck. That's Mr. Dylan. That's my dream lover! !"
"Is this Mrs. Dylan?" A strange voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Cassie gathered in the corner, and the hand holding the cake on the long table suddenly hung in the air. She was stunned before she turned around and saw the woman in a black dress looking at her with a smile on her face.
She smiled politely, "Yes."
As soon as Cassie answered the woman in black dress, another woman in yellow dress came over and flattered, "Mrs. Dylan, you are so beautiful." Cassie smiled awkwardly and replied, "Thank you. You too."
Cassie only wanted to eat something. What were these ladies going to do? Human is iron as if the meal is steel, you will be hungry if you don't eat. Cassie hadn't eaten anything since three o'clock in the afternoon. She was so hungry! These women were still pestering her.
She felt like weeping but had no tears! Cassie roared to the sky in the bottom of her heart.
'When will Cheryl come back?'.
On the other side, Sunny was holding a glass of red wine. Seeing Cassie, the hatred in her heart became more and more intense.
It was Cassie who took away everything that should belong to her!
She walked up to Cassie and said with a smile, "Mrs. Dylan, why don't Mr. Dylan come with you?"
"
Everyone wondered why Dylan wasn't there.
Cassie explained patiently with a smile, "You know, my husband is busy, so I have to come here alone."
With a sneer, Sunny continued, "Well, I thought Mr. Dylan would be tired of Mrs. Dylan in less than two days after you got married, so Mrs. Dylan was invited to such an occasion alone."
The faces of the ladies present darkened. It was said that the little princess of the SS Group was willful and bullied other ladies and debutantes. But she was Mrs. Dylan! How dare she mock her!
And she cooked yesterday, but all the electronic screens in the entire city were live broadcast! Everyone knew that Mrs. Dylan was Mr. Dylan's treasure.
Miss Sunny didn't watch the live broadcast yesterday, or she was out of her mind. Cassie chuckled, but she didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "Miss Sunny, it seems that you like to go to the construction site very much?"
Looking at Cassie in contempt, Sunny thought she was trying to find an excuse for herself. Sunny sneered, "Construction site? What am I going to do in that dusty place? Mrs. Dylan, you must be very familiar with that place before you marry Dylan, right?"
What Sunny meant was to mock that Cassie came from an ordinary family. Cassie got everything she had today by marrying Dylan.
Cassie was not in a hurry to refute. She just nodded her head thoughtfully, and then her eyes changed slightly. She said slowly, "Since Miss Sunny doesn't like to go to the construction site, why do you like to argue with me so much?!"
Cassie said in a gentle tone, but her sharp eyes were fixed on Sunny. She was kind, but that didn't mean she was easy to be bullied!
Sunny's face changed. No one ever dared to choke her in public. She was the only one who could bully others.
As soon as Ryan came downstairs, his eyes were attracted by Cassie standing downstairs.
The white eyelashed evening dress set off her extraordinary temperament. The strapless design exposed her delicate collarbone. The string of J.K. jewels on her neck, the Flower of Wings made her more brilliant.
Her hair slightly shone under the light. And there was no fear in her eyes when she confronted with Sunny.
Just like before, when she met someone who bullied her, she was like a high spirited leopard.
Ryan chuckled and went downstairs. "Are you not satisfied with the food today?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
