Chapter 175

"No way, don't be silly," Jaden immediately called a halt.

"I didn't cause any trouble, bro. I don't lack anything now, except for a sister-in-law. Every time dad goes out to attend someone else's child's wedding, oh my, the envy is strong. You better hurry up and get married, let our dad be happy."

"Why don't you get married soon and find a son-in-law who can come to our house? Dad will be even happier."

"You..."

One sentence, Tiana was left speechless.

But after several attempts, it became clear that my brother really didn't like Haylie.

Even though Haylie visited her brother diligently when he was hospitalized last time, their relationship did not make any progress.

Lorraine stood in the corner, chatting with Leila on Line.

Leila finally had a friend, which amplified her desire to confide and share.

When I was in my hometown, I would occasionally complain to Lorraine.

Lorraine, although seemingly quiet, was able to convey great emotional value with every word she spoke.

Leila liked this friend very much because of their calm and steady nature.

At that moment, a commotion arose in the crowd.

"Look, Keely has arrived."

"Is it true or not, have all the big stars come?"

"However, speaking of which, can actors enter on such occasions?"

"I saw that Mr. Foster didn't bring Natasha."

"How come I heard that Keely and Mr. Charlton were together?"

"Is that so?"

"Did I fall behind? Did they mention it in the news?"

"Why am I still stuck in the stage of gossiping with Keely and Mr. Mercer?"

Later, Keely wore an expensive haute couture evening gown and had an extremely delicate makeup on.

Walking hand in hand with the wealthy Keith Charlton, they entered and instantly attracted full attention.

There were many people on the scene, picking up their phones and starting to take photos and record videos.

"How did they get together?"

Ryan also started gossiping, muttering under his breath. Dawson glanced at him, unfazed.

I was searching everywhere for the figure of the woman from my own home, and at a glance, I could see Lorraine sitting in the corner, drinking champagne.

Dawson continued to socialize, finally satisfied.

Keely's arrival livened up the originally dull dinner party.

Even if these people were wealthy, they couldn't help but approach and take a Line message and a photo with the female celebrity they saw.

Keely's character has always been arrogant, and after receiving a lot of praise and applause, she was satisfied.

Just...

I accidentally glanced at the corner, who was that?

She actually never cared about insignificant people, but she particularly remembered Lorraine.

In her mind, Lorraine had already become a thorn.

Because she always felt that if it wasn't for this woman, maybe she and Dawson had a chance.

Even if she couldn't marry into the Mercer family, at least she could have a good time with Dawson for a while.

With the wealth value of the Mercer family, she would definitely be able to gain many benefits.

With this in mind, she walked towards the corner with a cold smile.

"Mrs. Mercer, what a coincidence?"

Lorraine looked up and nodded slightly.

She did not idolize celebrities and had no interest in these so-called top stars in the entertainment industry.

But as for Keely, there wasn't any profound impression either.

For her, it didn't matter whether it was Keely, Eliza, or Lily.

They were all a group of poor souls who intentionally caused trouble for her because of men.

So Lorraine looked at them with the same expression in her eyes, a calm and undisturbed gaze.

"Whose is this dress, Mrs. Mercer?"

"It was bought by my husband, I am not very sure."

Lorraine's words were indeed true and honest.

But it excited Keely even more, as it sounded to her like bragging.

She deliberately seized the loophole and said loudly, "I also often wear this brand, I have all the styles, but I have never seen this one, is it a mistake?"

At this moment, someone next to them played a trick and deliberately said, "Could it be a high imitation?"

"No way, this is Mrs. Mercer, how could she be wearing knockoff goods? But it's definitely not the style of that brand."

"Maybe because I made some improvements." Lorraine remained calm.

"No wonder, it looks a bit awkward," Keely said, and several women around her burst into laughter.

Keely was unhappy and continued to criticize, "This dress of yours is designer Steven's masterpiece this year. I think it's best not to make any modifications casually, as it shows disrespect towards the designer and the brand. What do you think, Mrs. Mercer?"

"Ms. Sadler made a valid point, but... I didn't want to listen."

Keely's face changed slightly, this woman, she really dares.

What does it mean when you say something makes sense, but I don't listen?

"I am considering Mrs. Mercer's best interests here. I understand that you may not have much knowledge in this area, but making such modifications could potentially cause trouble for Mr. Mercer. The legal team of this brand is quite formidable, you know, when it comes to copyright infringement."

"I think Ms. Sadler should still familiarize herself with the Civil Code."

"The premise of infringement is that I use it for commercial promotion or profit-making purposes. I bought a piece of clothing, and how I wear it at home is my freedom. I also didn't resell it, so whose rights am I infringing upon? Do you understand the law?"

Keely didn't expect Lorraine to be so eloquent today, and for a moment, she was a bit dumbfounded.

She was indeed not highly educated. She only attended a third-rate vocational college before switching to the entertainment industry.

If we delve deeper, she did indeed have many blind spots.

But in front of so many people, being criticized, Keely couldn't accept it.

She was a popular superstar, at the top of her game, with millions of fans.

The people who have emerged in the past two years are also independent and career-oriented women, seeking nothing but a queen-like aura.

If the news of being suppressed by this woman today were to spread, it would definitely be detrimental to oneself.

So she turned her eyes and glanced at the various alcoholic beverages next to her.

Suddenly, he said, "I also had a reunion with Mrs. Mercer. It's a rare opportunity, so... how about having a drink?"

"Is it really interesting for you to be like this?" Lorraine coldly scanned this exquisite face.

"What? Mrs. Mercer didn't give face?"

"Do you look down on us actors?"

"Of course not."

"Since it wasn't the case, how about having a drink then?" Keely's ability to hold her liquor was well-known in the circle.

Because in the entertainment industry, one not only needs good looks but also needs to have a high alcohol tolerance.

In various occasions, when matched with various important figures, one can easily obtain abundant resources.

So, when it came to drinking, among women, Keely had never encountered a rival.

Today Lorraine was so arrogant that she was about to make her lose her composure.

"How do you want to drink it?" Lorraine asked in response.

"What kind of alcohol I drink, you drink the same kind. If I have a few drinks, you have to drink multiple times. Do you dare?"

"Are you sure you want to do this?" There was no warmth in Lorraine's eyes.

"Are you scared?"

"If you're scared, no problem, I'll let you go," Keely smirked proudly.

"Maybe you won't be afraid, but are you sure that it won't have any negative impact on yourself?"

"What are you saying? Do you know how much I can drink?" Keely looked at Lorraine incredulously.

"Do you dare to face the battle?"

She no longer had the patience to listen to these nonsense and just wanted to get into a fight right away.

Of course, what gave Keely even more confidence was that she knew today was the day she accompanied Keith to a social event.

Before coming, I took two super hangover pills in advance at the hotel.

With this, her alcohol tolerance was more than double than usual, and she didn't believe she would lose.

I only believed that I could make the woman in front of me drink until she passed out or even drink until she vomited.

At that time, would Dawson feel embarrassed and get tired of this country bumpkin wife?

"Bro, it seemed really exciting over there."

"Let's go and see the excitement."

"It seems like the famous celebrity Keely was going to have a drinking contest with a wealthy lady. It's truly a rare sight to behold."

Tiana pulled her brother over to join in the fun, and when they saw Lorraine, Jaden was even more surprised.

"Will you dare to agree, Mrs. Mercer?"

"There were so many people today, give me a straightforward answer," Keely became more provocative, and her voice grew much louder.

It immediately attracted a lot of onlookers...
