Tamara was taken aback.It turned out that Sebastian was Y!Surprise flashed in her clear eyes as she regarded the man. However, this only made Sebastian’s expression darken.“What the hell are you staring at? Get to it!”Tamara pressed her lips together tightly, trying her best to contain a laugh.She did as she was asked and accepted the friend request from Y.Without sparing her another look, Sebastian spun on his heel and left.Tamara was rendered speechless.She laughed inwardly at how immature Sebastian was.He had stalled for so long just for this. It turned out that he had only wanted her to accept his friend request.In Tamara’s defense, Sebastian had not clarified that Y was him. How was she to know that Y didn’t have any ulterior motives?A small smile appeared on Tamara’s face, her tense body relaxing.However, after a moment’s thought, her smile instantly fell.“Could he have ulterior motives?” she mused to herself.Tamara felt her heart skip a beat. She hurr
”I didn’t mean to imply anything. I just wanted to chat with you. That woman’s name is Eugenia Cooper. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lynch seem to value her very much,” Ms. Thompson explained hurriedly, then turned and left.Tamara wondered what Ms. Thompson meant when she told her that Yareli and William valued that woman. “Is she trying to hint at something?” she thought.She lowered her gaze and continued to eat. However, her appetite had suddenly disappeared.She got up and left the dining room. Upon noticing her leaving so abruptly, Ms. Thompson was taken aback. “Young Mrs. Lynch, what’s wrong? You didn’t even eat much.”Tamara shook her head, indicating that she did not want to eat anymore, then went straight upstairs.Ms. Thompson let out a soft sigh as she watched Tamara’s retreating figure.She had deliberately thrown Tamara the hint. She just hoped that the younger woman managed to catch her drift.Ms. Thompson knew that Tamara was a good person. However, the older woman was merel
Eugenia eyed Margot curiously. “You’re Young Mrs. Lynch’s friend, aren’t you? I was just inviting her to attend Mrs. Lynch’s birthday party with me.”“Mrs. Lynch? Do you mean Yareli Baiss?” Margot frowned, then decided promptly. “She’s not going!”Eugenia was taken aback. “You’re…”Margot tugged on Tamara’s hand. “We’re not going!”After that, she pulled her out of the shop.Eugenia got up, staring at the women’s retreating figures. The cheery expression on her face disappeared in an instant. She flashed a smug smile in the end.…“What does that wicked witch’s birthday have to do with us? It’s not like we’re dying to go to the party!”Margot could not stand the sight of Yareli. The woman had always acted like she was better than everyone just because she was the wife of ST Corporation’s CEO.Furthermore, knowing how horrible Yareli treated Tamara, Margot despised her even more.When she turned back, she noticed that Tamara looked out of sorts.“Tammy, are you okay?” Margot
Even though she had changed her appearance with makeup, Eugenia had still been able to recognize her!Tamara hurriedly grabbed Margot’s hand.Margot was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”Tamara turned towards her and signed, “I’ve changed my appearance, yet Eugenia was able to recognize me instantly.”Margot was quick to react. She frowned and asked, “What on earth is that woman up to? How did she even recognize you?”Tamara shook her head, indicating that she had no idea either.However, she had a guess.Upon leaving Skarrowlilt Grove that morning, Eugenia had probably known about Tamara’s altered appearance. As such, when they bumped into each other at the shop, the woman identified her as Sebastian’s wife right away without question.Tamara shifted her gaze back towards Eugenia.At that moment, Eugenia was standing next to Yareli, smiling kindly at the older woman as they chatted about something.Their closeness merely added to Tamara’s suspicion of her.Margot moved closer to
Tamara had been put in an extremely embarrassing position.Margot’s face was red with fury. She glared angrily at Eugenia. “Gosh, how dramatic. You keep insisting to everyone that it’s your fault. Well, if that’s the case, why don’t you apologize on bended knee?”Eugenia was taken aback. She looked at Margot innocently and said, “Miss Zimmerman, how can you ask that of me?”Margot shot her a sarcastic look. “Didn’t you just admit that it was all your fault? If you’re truly repentant, you’ll have to prove it.”Margot’s aggression intimidated Eugenia.Yareli glared at Margot with displeasure. “This is my birthday party! An ill-mannered bitch like you can’t make demands like that on my turf! Get the hell out! Tamara, you as well! Get off my property.”Yareli pointed at Tamara, her tone filled with disdain.The crowd watched Tamara’s humiliation take place. She had brought shame to the Lynch family.The birthday party had been going well, yet the damned mute had ruined everything.
Anthony remained expressionless as he regarded Margot. Then, he spun on his heel and left.“Excuse me?”Margot was shocked. She couldn’t believe that the man had walked away from her just like that.“This won’t do! I have to get to the bottom of who that man is!” she thought.“Hey, stop right there!”Inside the villa, Yareli turned back to look at Sebastian and found that her son was holding Tamara’s hand tightly. It frustrated her to no end.“Are you really going to let her stay here? Do you want to embarrass me to death in front of everyone?”Sebastian’s deep, magnetizing voice sounded. “Mom, as long as you don’t make a scene every time Tamara’s around, no one’s going to pay her any attention.”“You!”Yareli did not expect Sebastian to talk back to her in Tamara’s defense. The hatred in her eyes deepened as she regarded Tamara. However, Tamara did not seem to notice Yareli at all. Her gaze remained on Sebastian the entire time.Did Sebastian just defend her?Tamara did not
After she finished changing into the party dress, Tamara walked out of the bathroom to find Sebastian nowhere in sight.She began looking for him everywhere. Just as she walked out of the villa, she spotted Margot and Anthony standing together. It looked as if they were talking about something.“Tammy, you’re finally here! He keeps ignoring me!”When Margot saw Tamara approach them, she complained right away.Tamara felt a little helpless. She began to introduce Anthony to Margot. “This is my pal, Anthony Night. He helps me with a lot of stuff. He’s used to staying lowkey, so him ignoring you isn’t all that unusual.”Margot blinked. “He does more than me?”Tamara nodded. Margot’s face immediately fell at that.“Tammy, I thought I was your one and only!”Margot sounded so aggrieved.Tamara patted her head to consolidate her.This made Margot break out into a happy smile. She resembled a kitten who had just been petted.Anthony eyed Margot for a short moment and hurriedly retr
The crowd laughed contemptuously as they watched Tamara make her way to the stage.In the eyes of Londsville’s richest and most powerful, Tamara was not only a mute, but also a cunning wench. They did not believe that she would have any hidden talents, especially after the fantastic performance by Eugenia.Someone in the crowd had looked up Eugenia’s information and exclaimed, “Oh my God! Miss Cooper graduated from Harvington University! That’s a really prestigious university!”“She’s so well-educated, and her piano-playing skills were out of this world! She’s such a talented woman.”“Tamara really overestimated herself this time. How could she possibly compare to the likes of Miss Cooper? She’s going to cry from embarrassment later.”Contemptuous words and ridicule rang out from the crowd.Eugenia watched Tamara’s slender back with a smug smile on her face.“Tamara has definitely overestimated herself,” she thought.Tamara was in no way qualified to compete with Eugenia.Euge
