Emily glanced at Barbara calmly. When their eyes met, Emily obviously seemed shocked. "Why is Barbara here?" She wondered..

Despite being taken aback, Emily smiled and greeted. "Sister*

However, Barbara merely glanced at her coldly and replied. "Miss, I'm afraid you got the wrong person"

"Barbara, I know you blame me for what happened, but it has nothing to do with me. I can't help it if Dexter falls for me..."

Although three years had passed, Barbara's wound were still sore and her heart still ached at the mention of her past. Unwilling to show her weakness to them, she turned to leave.

However, Freya, who was obviously emboldened by Emily's presence, instantly rushef to Barbara and grabbed hold of her before shoving her hand. The juice in the glass Barbara was holding immediately spill over her body and some got onto Freya's clothes. She screamed, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Barbara saw how visibly pleased Freya was she she said this. She could tell that Freya was convinced that she was a waitress and had intended to slander her so that could get the hotel to fire her.

Barbara's expression turned frigid. In the past, she would have slapped Freya in the face. But now, she was no longer Dexter's wife and nobody would be there to protect her. Thus she could only force herself to suppress her anger and leave.

Freya and Emily exchanged a look when they noticed that Barbara did nothing to fend for herself. In the next moment, they reached over, yanked her hair and doused their red wine down her neck.

The cold, red wine trickled dwn Barbara's neck and soaked her clothes. Somewhat intentionally, Freya bumped Emily with her body and Emily too splashed her glass of wine on Barbara's face.

Barbara could feel her eyes burning with pain. She initially planned to let things slide and leave, but was now angered by Freya's restless pursuit.

Freya and Emily were birds of the same feather. Judging from how they were treating her, Barbara could tell that things would not end well today. Freya's tricks were exactly the same as what Emily used back then and they would certainly continue to slander her. Barbara was also not to be trifled with and found no reason to key them off the hook anymore since they were bent on making her the bad guy.

Boiling with rage, Barbara raised the plate in her hand and smashed it until Freya's head.

Freya's screamed, for she never expected Barbara to retaliate when she was already in such a pathetic state. The gravy trickled down Freya's hair into her eyes and stung them exceptionally badly, for Barbara enjoyed spicy food and all the gravy were spicy.

Freya let out a heartrending scream and instantly released Barbara's hair.

Ignoring Freya's shrieks, Irene went on to slap Emily's face. Emily was completely dumbfounded, for she never expected Barbara to be tough. Just when her fave was stinging from the slap, Barbara grabbed a bowl of grady and splashes it into Emily's expensive evening dress designed by a famous designer. Emily was terribly upset.

In pain and rage, Emily ignored her public image and shrieked. "Somebody help! This woman has gone crazy!"

Many people where startled by the commotion and glanced over.tbe security guards too rushed over. As this was the party for the family of the upper class, the security guards were unusally snobbish. Barbara who was dressed in an ordinary cloth was naturally taken for a waitress. Thus without even getting their facts rights, the guard immediately shoved her out of the hall.

As Freya's eyes were burning from the chill gravy, she was quickly sent to the hospital. After Dexter heard the news, he rushed over only to see Emily with a clear palm print on her face and her expensive evening dress stained with soup.

Surprised by the awkward state she was in, he asked. "What happened?"

Emily was actually afraid that har Dexter woulf come to know that Barbara appeared at the party. However, she knew that she couldn't hide the truth from him now that things have reached this state. Thus she cried and complained, "Dexter,I saw Barbara, she's working as a waitress here. Fkr some reasons, she deliberately spilled juice some and Freya when she saw us. Freya couldn't put up with it and scolded her, so she she suddenly went wild and dumbed food on Freya. She even slapped me....."

Dexter was stunned and quickly scammed the surrounding s but he did not spit Barbara anywhere. Emily then forced out tears and continued. "My clothes were soiled and I got slapped by her. Even Freya's eyes were sting by the chilly gravy. Miss Barbara planned to aim for me but freya took the blow for me"

Dexter's expression was unreadable as he stared at her pitiful face, "where's she?"

"She was taken by the security guards"

"Let's go have a look"

After Dexter said this, he supported Emily who was in a mess, put if the hell.

Barbara was taken to the room next to the hall by the security guards. They were c

Scolding her abd calling for the police.

Barbara lowered her head as she remained seated on the sofa. Her body was dripping wet from the wine, and she finally calmed down when she was brought here.

She should have put up with them earlier on, but instead she lost control of herself and stirred up a fuss like this. Jeremy certainly would not let her off the hook. He was a rich playboy with a foul temper and was especially fierce towards her.

Nathan White had forced Jeremy to accept Barbara as his personal assistant.

Thus, Jeremy had always disliked her and made things difficult for her. Now that she created a scene, she felt certain that he would fire her.

Just when she was fraught with anxiety, the door was pushed open and a gust of cold air blew over. Barbara looked up and stared right into a pair of dark unreadable eyes.

Now that I've lost my job and have no where to go, being locked up here might help me to tide things for the time being since I wouldn't have to worry about food and shelter.

    "A kiss;" Jeremy said as he bowed his head and kissed her.Barbara didn't expect him to be so presumptuous as to kiss her so abruptly. She slapped him in the face without thinking.Jeremy never dreamed that the gentle and frail Barbara would dare to hit him. He didn't dodge and was hit hard.No one had ever dared to hit Jeremy. He let go of Barbara at once and said fiercely, "Do you want to be fired?"Of course Barbara knew about Jeremy. He was the third young master and the mist beloved son of the black family.

But I'm falling in love for real with this one. I will introduce her to you some other day"."You're falling in love?" Dexter's eyes sparkled menacingly an his fists clenched subconsciously. "Mr Black's taste seems to be getting worse?""Not good? I thought she's a fine woman. She's so much more beautiful than the women I fooled around with before and even much prettier than your fiancee as well, isn't she?" Jeremy was smiling while he ridiculed Dexter subtly."Hehe!" Dexter sneered and said, "I'm only afraid that her beauty belies her cruel disposition"His words made here Jeremy's face gloomy. He didn't have any grudges against Dexter.

Other women couldn't wait to get with him, yet she seemed to be very reluctant to get involved with him.Novelty seeking was his favorite thing. Barbara was gorgeous and exactly his type. Rushing would not help him to get to her heart.Thinking of that, Jeremy curled up his lips into a charming smile and said, "Do you still want to quit?""No, I won't quit!""Since that's the case, sign the contract!

    Jeremy was smoking at the end of the corridor. The cigarette tip glowed brightly, illuminating his gloomy face. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. Jeremy felt a hand on his shoulder. "Jeremy, I have something to tell you" said Pedro. Jeremy modded and went to the study with him, "I know what happened yesterday. In fact, if you want to know about what happened back then, you don't have to question Lydia. you have to come to me." Jeremy didn't say anything. He just looked at Pedro quietly. "The emotional dispute between your parents and Myra was actually a tragedy caused by two rich and powerful families. Both your grandmother's were friends and they had agreed very early on that day that they wanted their children to marry each other. Later on, your grandmother was even more determined when she saw how kind and gentle your mother was. Unfortunately, she hadn't expected Malcom to fall in love with Myra in high school."

He said that Myra was killed by you!""Did he say that?" Lydia's face suddenly turned ashen, her body shaking like a leaf."Mom, is what Malcom said true?" Jeremy insisted on an answer."Since he had said so, it must be true!" Lydia's face was as white as a ghost; there was a bitterness brewing in her heart.Jeremy did not expect Lydia would admit to it. He felt an unspeakable disappointment in his heart. How he wished Lydia would deny it without any hesitation and tell him that it was all Malcom's nonsense.

    Malcom pushed Jeremy's hand away from his collar and roared, "Just like how you have no feelings for Joanne, I never intended to marry Lady Klein. I told her very clearly that I wouldn't marry her. I loved Myra but what did she do to me? She promised me she would let go of Mr. But behind my back, she plotted against me and set me up so that Myra would see her in my bed. Because of that, Myra broke up with me. Your mother has never been blameless in this tragedy! I became like this because of her! Do you understand?" "Bullshit!" Jeremy did not believe that his gentle mother would pull such a plot. "You can go ask Lydia whether this is all bullshit or not. After that night, she got pregnant with you, and her mother forced me to marry her. I was in so much pain after losing Myra, so I lost all rationality. I agreed to marry Lydia, but we were never in a real relationship."

    Dexter did not reply to John. His engagement with Emily was unrelated to the quarrel between Barbara and Raina but was because Barbara had said that she would never go back to him again. She said she despised him. Besides, Emily could not conceive and with that in mind, he found her together with Barbara, he ended up making this decision. Dexter's eyes darkened. "Have you found out the identity of the person who abducted the child?" "No, the hospital's surveillance video was blurry and the man wore a mask, therefore his face was not apparent at all," John replied. That was a premeditated act! Except for Raina who wanted Barbara to disappear, who else would want her gone? "It's definitely not madam Raina's order. I checked her call records and could not find any clues that she was linked to the incident." Added John. Dexter believed that it was not Raina who took Eden away from the hospital. Although Raina could be quiet unreasonable and snobbish she would not do such a vicious thi
