Eugenia was really confident. She looked at Tamara smugly, her gaze filled with provocation.After she realized there was no way that Tamara would warm up to her, Eugenia decided to give up on pretending. Her real intention had been to steal Sebastian from Tamara, after all.“Wow, that must mean Young Mr. Lynch really likes you.”“Of course he does! If Miss Baiss is this fond of her, Young Mr. Lynch must share the same sentiment.”“Eugenia, I’m so envious of you. Don’t forget about us once you become the next Young Mrs. Lynch, okay?”The flattery and envious praises made Eugenia puff with pride. She turned to shoot a smug look at Tamara but found that the woman had left.Eugenia scoffed inwardly.“She’s just a mute! What is she so proud of, anyway? She’s going to get kicked out of the Lynch family sooner or later!” she thought.…Tamara thought Eugenia was getting too much ahead of herself. Her arrogant, smug expression made it seem like she had already taken her place as the
Tamara was communicating with James about the upcoming shoot through her phone.Suddenly, clumsy footsteps sounded from in front of her. She lifted her head to find that a girl had tripped before her.“I’m sorry… I’m just really dizzy…” the girl explained, her entire face blushing red. She looked drunk.However, the only alcohol available at the party was champagne. There was no way that the girl had gotten drunk on them.The girl furrowed her brows in obvious discomfort. Tamara looked around and noticed that no one was paying attention to them. She moved forward to help the girl up.“Can you please help me?” the girl looked at Tamara pleadingly.Tamara hesitated. If anything were to happen in the lobby, it would be easy to clear things up. However, if something were to happen in one of the hotel’s rooms, there was no way that Tamara could explain herself without seeming guilty.Tamara typed on her phone, “Sorry, I’m not the right person to ask.”The girl ended up crying. “Some
“What the hell are you guys doing? Let go of me!”Someone had grabbed Jocelyn. She looked upset as she struggled.“Apologies, that won’t be possible. You broke something, so you have to pay up!” they said.Jocelyn struggled harder. “That thing broke by itself! I had nothing to do with it. This is slander!”“We all saw what happened. You did it on purpose! You’re pretty young, aren’t you? Why on earth are you so rude?”A crowd gathered to watch the scene unfold. They pointed fingers at Jocelyn, judging her blatantly.Tamara had no idea she’d run into Jocelyn here. Judging by the look of things, the girl had stirred up trouble.Tamara planned to turn a blind eye to the matter. However, Jocelyn ended up spotting her. The girl pointed at Tamara and said, “You want me to pay up, right? Well, you can get the money from her! She’s my aunt and is married to Sebastian Lynch. She’s really wealthy!”The crowd shifted their gaze toward Tamara. Jocelyn took this opportunity to break free of
Tamara glanced at Jocelyn, noting her flustered expression. Inwardly, she let out a sigh.If she didn’t teach Jocelyn a lesson at this moment, her niece would only end up taking things even further in the future.Humans liked to play saints, especially those who possessed power and wealth. These people were used to acting superior in front of the weak.If one became a weakling, one could gain pity from them and win them over.Tamara didn't need to act like a weakling simply because she was one. She had merely taken advantage of that fact.Jocelyn had not expected things to turn out this way. She was completely flustered. When she turned to face Tamara, she was met with her aunt’s cold stare.“This is your fault! You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” Jocelyn glared at Tamara.Tamara bowed her head, tears still streaming down her cheeks. She was pitiful in every way.Eugenia and Yareli were a short distance away. They had no idea Tamara could change the situation with just a few
“Why are you people so unreasonable?” Jocelyn was anxious. She could not believe that the hotel manager would turn out to be such a prick.It was clear that neither had any evidence to prove anything. Even so, the manager insisted that she had broken the vase.It was simply outrageous!Tamara’s brows furrowed at that. She did not expect the manager to resolve the situation this way.At this moment, Yareli spoke, “Tamara, you’re part of the Lynch family now. You can’t pretend to be weak and pitiful to garner sympathy from others to solve this issue. Why not just pay for it since the vase has already got broken? You should be more generous.”Even though it sounded like she meant well, Yareli had directly implied that Tamara had put on an act to fool the crowd.Suddenly, everyone turned to look at Tamara in surprise and equal disdain.“Goodness, she was pretending? I was just starting to pity her!”“She’s trying to soften us with that weak act of hers. Gosh, she’s such a scheming
Yareli nearly passed out from anger at Margot’s words.Margot looked around before settling on the manager. She said sardonically, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone operate a business this way. You don’t have any surveillance footage, and the server didn’t see the vase breaking. Are you going to blame Jocelyn solely on hearsay? Are you dumb?”The manager’s face darkened. “Who even are you? Why don’t you mind your own business?”“Why should I tell you anything? Are you blind? You’re messing with my best friend, so I must get involved.”Margot sneered. “How dare you bully Tammy. I’m not going to let you get away with this, no matter what!”Her attitude was brash and arrogant. It made the manager fume with rage. He looked at the other person in charge and asked, “What type of person did you bring over here?”He merely gave him a cold stare and remarked, “A person who apparently won’t let you get away with this.”The manager was dumbfounded.After Margot’s intervention, eve
“I honestly thought the Curio Duo and Tamara were just acquaintances, but they seem really close!”“Judging by how much they’re chatting, they seem like good friends. Furthermore, the Curio Duo appears to be able to read sign language!”“That must mean they’ve known each other for a while now.”Hushed whispers rang out. Everyone stared at Tamara in both shock and surprise.With an odd glint in her eyes, Yareli’s face darkened.It turned out that Tamara was acquainted with famous people.If Yareli could also get acquainted with them, she was sure she would make big bucks in the future.With a determined glint in her eyes, she made her way to Tamara.However, Margot was quick to block her path. “What are you trying to do?”Yareli’s expression darkened. “Miss Zimmerman, don’t you think it’s rude of you to get in the way of an elder like this?”“Oh? And dragging your daughter-in-law through the mud all the time isn’t rude at all, is it?” Margot lifted her chin as she rebuked. She
Tamara turned to meet Jocelyn’s eye and signed, “You can’t imagine how many more surprises I have up my sleeve.”Jocelyn was dumbfounded. Margot eventually made her way out and noticed them chatting. She ran to them excitedly and said, “The pissed-off look on that old hag makes me so happy. I want to anger her to death!”Tamara nodded in agreement.She had always adhered to the principle of minding one’s own business. However, if anyone dared provoke her, she would return the favor tenfold.Yareli might not have planned today’s incident, but she kept adding fuel to the fire. Since the older woman insisted on going against her, Tamara wasn’t going to let Yareli off easy.“That old hag must have changed her opinion of you after this. She’s definitely going to suck up to you from now on,” Margot said.Tamara didn’t want to think or talk about Yareli anymore. She pointed to a nearby café and signed, “Let’s sit over there.”“Sure.”Upon entering the cafe, they requested a privat
