The moment they entered the banquet hall, Everly’s demeanor shifted at once. People crowded around her, greeting her with flattery and sycophantic smiles. Their fawning made her eyes glow with even more arrogance. From time to time, she cast a sidelong glance at the girl beside her, her
gaze filled with scorn and disdain.
“See that? This is the difference between you and us. Even if Sebastian spoils you now, so what? His family will never accept you. You bring them no value. So I advise you, Ms. Lillian-quit while you’re ahead. Don’t covet things that don’t belong to you. Otherwise, you’ll end up losing both love and wealth p>
“Is that so?” A trace of mockery flickered in Lillian’s eyes. She drawled lazily, “Who would’ve thought Ms. Everly had so much time to worry about me? But whether his family accepts me or not has nothing to do with you. And even if I didn’t exist, Sebastian still wouldn’t like you.” With that, she walked straight toward the courtyard.
Everly’s eyes darkened as she watched the girl’s retreating figure. Lillian, just you wait. Then she followed after her.
The courtyard was even livelier than the hall. Clusters of people gathered around the pool, chatting and laughing. Some even wore swimsuits, splashing and teasing one another in the
water.
Then a coquettish voice called out, “Ms. Everly, so here you are! We friends had such a hard time finding you p>
Several elegantly dressed women approached. It had to be said, Murican women truly had tall, striking figures. Standing among them, Lillian looked especially slender and small.
“And who is this young lady?” one of the women asked, scrutinizing Lillian with a sharp gaze.
Everly gave Lillian a cold smile before replying, “This is Ms. Lillian of Dracovia.” She deliberately withheld any mention of Sebastian, intent on keeping their connection hidden.
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding looks turned disdainful.
“Dracovia? Isn’t that a rather backward country p>
“Mm, I’ve been there. The women are weak, and most of them don’t even have careers of their
own p>
“Right. I heard the land is nothing but yellow earth, and the people aren’t very refined p>
Everly listened to their chatter, smugness gleaming in her eyes. Her disdain for Lillian was written all over her face.

Hearing their mocking words, Lillian’s lips curved into a cold, sharp smile. Then-clap, clap. clap-she broke into crisp applause, silencing the room.
The noblewomen all turned toward her. Her eyes glittered with ridicule as she said, “What a fine display of noble breeding. I must say, I’m impressed p>
“First, no matter my country’s current state, at the very least it taught me never to gossip about others so brazenly. Your shameless chatter brings one word to mind: gossips p>
Their faces soured at once.
Unfazed, Lillian continued, “Second, your knowledge of Dracovia only shows how narrow your horizons are. But at least try not to parade your ignorance in public. Otherwise, I might start to think that all you so-called noble daughters are nothing more than big-busted, empty-headed dolls-spending all your time on appearances while neglecting to fill
“You-!” The faces of several noblewomen were visibly flustered.
your brains p>
One of them burst out furiously, “How dare you call us big-busted and brainless!” She lunged forward, hand raised, ready to slap Lillian across the face.
