Chapter 15 What Do You Want to Do to My Female Companion?
Clara’s only response the spiteful words of the people around her was to purse her lips and go to the
reception table to get a glass of champagne.
She knew that everything about the hotel incident had been planned by Steve. He was also behind the
speed of the scandal spreading on the internet, adding fuel to the fire, and fanning the flames behind
the scenes.
She estimated that everyone in J city now knew about her glorious deeds.
However, she was only one person. No matter how hard she tried to explain, those people wouldn’t
believe her. It would be better to just pretend that she didn’t hear them.
Clara took a few sips of champagne as she looked around the venue. The dinner party was very grand,
with almost all the business elite of J city in attendance.
She was glad that that man needed her. It meant that she was still of use, and also gave her an
opportunity to negotiate with him.
She just didn’t know what Mr. Preston wanted her to do.......
Clara trying to be invisible, had stood in the corner as soon as she had entered, but there were always
men coming up to her, ogling her with unrestrained eyes. Some men even said they would pay to have
her.
Consequently, the gazes of the women around her grew even more hateful.
One of the ladies unable to stand it anymore, picked up a glass of red wine and splashed it on Clara’s
face, “You are really disgusting, quickly get out!”
The cold red wine splashed into Clara’s eyes forcing her to close them.
Ever since she was a child, she had been the eldest daughter of the Rowan family. She had been
spoiled and flattered. This was the first time that someone had splashed red wine on her at a banquet.
Now she had no family background and was no longer a young lady. She also no longer had anyone to
protect her...
Clara just looked at the lady and didn’t argue with her. She turned around to get a napkin from the NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
table, but inadvertently saw Steve Lane and Ruby Leke coming in her direction.
Steve was wearing a black tuxedo and standing tall and straight. He had a polite smile on his face and
looked like a refined rascal.
“Mrs. Sandon.” Ruby often went in and out of various dinner parties and quickly recognized Mrs.
Sandon. “The pearl earrings you’re wearing are so beautiful.”
Seeing that Mrs. Sandon didn’t look well, Ruby followed up with, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s all because I encountered an unlucky person” Mrs. Sandon glanced at Clara who she had just now
splashed with red wine, “She’s a humiliation to the Rowan family. I don’t know how she got in here!”
Ruby followed her line of sight and saw a woman with wet hair. It was Clara Rowan!
The thought of being wildly slapped by Clara in the mall caused her face to ache and she stared at her
with hidden resentment.
Looking more closely at Clara, she saw that the dress she was wearing was both rare and expensive.
After her bout of jealousy, Ruby stepped forward and looked measuringly at Clara. “If I am not
mistaken, this dress is HMS’s runway model. Even celebrities can’t buy it, how did you manage?”
After a pause, she deliberately raised her voice, “Even if your chauffeur boyfriend drives others around
in a luxury car, he can’t afford to buy this dress for you, right?”
As soon as Ruby said this, the surrounding women looked at Clara with even more disdainfully.
Mrs. Sandon ridiculed her, “She probably cheated it out of another man! She seemed to have put a lot
of effort into coming to the dinner party.”
“Mr. Rowan must be really embarrassed by his daughter!”
“Ah, my heart hurts for Mr. Lane. I thought that he had married a good wife. I didn’t expect her to be
such a person!”
Clara didn’t care about what they said. She just wiped her face and clothes with a tissue. When she
was about to go, a tall man stopped her.
Steve asked lightly, “This is an exclusive dinner party. How did you get in?”
“It doesn’t concern you.” Clara’s tone was a little cold.
Her sorry figure was reflected in Steve’s eyes. Her wet hair rested on her pale shoulders, making her
look weak, and not as assertive and dazzling as before.
Although happy, Steve also felt a few other more subtle emotions.
Clara felt that her wrist was going to break, and she glared at the man and said hatefully, “Steve, this is
a dinner party, and we have no relationship with each other. Do you want to do something to me?”
“I don’t want the dinner party to include people who shouldn’t be here,” Steve shouted to the waiter, as
if he wanted to ask Clara to leave.
Ruby couldn’t help but say, “Steve...”
Steve quickly understood Ruby’s aggrieved expression and grasped Clara’s wrist. “Ruby told me that
you hit her when you two met in the mall this morning. Apologize to her for every time you slapped her.
If you don’t, I’ll have Ruby hit you back.”
Clara felt the attention of the people around her. Her body shook and her small face looked pale under
the light.
A year ago, she was in this banquet hall marrying Steve Lane.
And a year later, in the same banquet hall, Steve and his mistress humiliated her in front of everyone!
“She humiliated my dead parents first, why should I apologize to her?” Clara bit the tip of her tongue to
keep clear headed, and then sneered, “Prostitutes will mate with dogs until the world ends......”
Steve’s expression instantly darkened, and he slapped her face.
Clara didn’t have time to raise her hand to block, so she took the slap and staggered a few steps back.
Just as she was almost about to fall, a hand came out and supported her waist.
A man’s indifferent voice sounded above her head, “Mr. Lane, what are you going to do to my female
companion?”
