Chapter 194:
Tonyaâs antics nearly drove Linda to the brink of anger. She spun around and sharply addressed her three assistants, âWhat are you waiting for? Go and pack up our equipment!â
The three assistants were momentarily stunned before quickly bowing their heads to gather their things.
Upstairs in Harleeâs room, Tonya lounged on the sofa, throwing her wig aside casually.
âReally, Harlee, how did you allow yourself to get bullied by such an idiot? I caught a ride with Linda and the others, and Linda is nothing but a moron. If it werenât for my good manners, she wouldnât have made it here without losing her legs.â
During the journey, Linda couldnât stop badmouthing Harlee, her every word laced with scorn. She called Harlee every name, saying Harlee would never be more than a country bumpkinâunrefined and ignorant. In the end, not a single kind word was said about Harlee.
Harlee glanced up and responded calmly, âYour good manners?â
Tonya clasped Harleeâs hand, smiling broadly.
âWhatâs wrong with that? Donât you think so?â
Harlee gave Tonya an eye roll.
Unperturbed, Tonya clung to Harlee.
âWhat kind of dress have you designed for me this time?â
Tonya hadnât mentioned attending the banquet, but Harlee had already prepared a dress for her. While Harlee hadnât revealed the existence of the dress, Tonya had already asked for it, proving their mutual understanding. Without a word, they both knew theyâd be there for each other during lifeâs important moments.
Harlee flung a pink princess-style dress at Tonya.
âPrincess-style dress? For me? No way! Harlee, are you kidding?â
Harlee pulled a matching blue princess-style dress from the wardrobe.
âStill think itâs a joke?â
Tonya excitedly changed into the dress.
She wouldnât normally choose such a cute dress, but sheâd wear it if it meant matching with Harleeâs outfit.
Harlee observed Tonya, a smile of pure joy on her face as she watched her friend prance around on the bed.
Glancing at a photo on the bedside table, she wondered if the Sanderson family could truly be their sanctuary.
Around four-thirty in the afternoon, Harlee escorted Tonya downstairs, where the Sanderson family was already in the back garden, welcoming guests.
Skyla was dressed in a traditional jade green dress, adorned with a pearl necklace, her wrists bare, exuding a subtle elegance. Lonnie complemented Skyla in a sleek black suit, simple yet distinguished with a jade green pendant on the cuffs.
Outside the Sanderson estate, luxury cars rolled in one after another, some even custom-built, with prices that couldnât be found on the market. One could say that all of Baythornâs elite were present, with the exception of the Green family. Numerous individuals attempted to gain entry to make connections, though most lacked even an invitation to the banquet.
