Everly watched the scene with mocking eyes, sneering inwardly. She couldn’t openly offend this bitch, but there were still ways to vent her anger.
Just as she thought the slap was about to land on Lillian’s face, the girl caught the falling wrist in midair. Her other hand lashed out, fast and merciless. A flurry of sharp slaps cracked across the woman’s cheek, leaving it swollen and red within moments.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Even Everly hadn’t expected Lillian to be this brazen-actually daring to strike back.
“You… how dare you! Do you realize who these women are p>
Lillian glanced at her reddened palm, frowning slightly before looking at Everly with open mockery. “Ms. Everly really does have a short memory. My Sebastian just told me that as the future mistress of the Austine family, if anyone disrespects me, I should discipline them without holding back. Tell me, Ms. Everly, did you already forget his words p>
“You p>
The women nearby blanched. Mistress of the Austine family? How could this girl be? Their eyes darted to Everly, whose face had also soured, and dread curled in their stomachs.
Everly’s tone turned dark. “Ms. Lillian, you and Seb aren’t married yet. You’re not truly the Austine family’s mistress.” In her mind, I am. I’m the one who belongs in that position.
Lillian sneered. “Oh? Then what you mean is, since I’m not yet married to Sebastian, that gives them free rein to bully me p>
The women paled further. Those words alone confirmed it-this woman really did have an extraordinary connection with that man from the Austine family. If she merely whispered something in his ear, their families might face ruin.
Everly’s face twisted in frustration. “That still doesn’t give you the right to strike them. They’re daughters of high society, representing families you couldn’t possibly comprehend p>
Lillian beamed brightly at the group. “Well, I do apologize. A country girl like me never learned your high-society manners. When someone insults me, I’m not about to smile and pretend not to hear it. When someone raises a hand against me, I won’t be offering my face to make it easier for them. I guess I just don’t possess that kind of lofty virtue p>
Every woman present turned shades of green and white, struggling to mask their shame.
Everly’s expression was thunderous. She had intended to make this bitch back down and face reality, but things had gone completely the opposite way.

“Why are all the beauties standing around here? Come on, let’s have some fun p>
A man’s voice suddenly cut through the tension. A strikingly handsome figure approached- golden hair, blue eyes, his gaze deep enough to drown in. Yet the roguish air he carried spoiled
his charm.
Everly’s eyes lit up the moment she saw him. She hurried forward and clung to his arm. “Allen, when did you get here? I didn’t even notice p>
Allen ruffled her hair with a grin, speaking in a teasing tone. “I’ve been here a while. Too many beauties around, I couldn’t refuse the company.” Then his gaze slid toward Lillian. With a smile, he said, “This must be Mr. Whitmore’s companion. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Allen.” He extended his hand toward her.
Lillian
gave him a single glance, her brows knitting. “Sorry. I’m a germaphobe p>
Allen chuckled, drawing his hand back with a shrug. “No problem.” Turning to the other women, he grinned. “Come on, lovely ladies, let’s go have some fun p>
