Betty was by the poolside, surrounded by many girls and guys, enjoying the feeling of being pleased and flattered.
One of her female friends squeezed over to her. âThat Mu Xiaoxiao is here. However, sheâs not wearing the dress you picked out,â she whispered by her ear.
Betty looked over at where she was pointing.
It was indeed Mu Xiaoxiao.
Even though she was wearing a mask, she recognized the dress she was wearing earlier today.
If Mu Xiaoxiao didnât wear the dress she had sent, or even changed into another one, she might not have been able to recognize her, for everyone here was wearing masks that covered half their faces. Even if they were acquainted, they may not recognize each other.
Another female companion asked, âBetty, what do we do now? Do we still go ahead with the plan?â
Betty glared at Mu Xiaoxiao and harrumphed. âOf course weâre going on with the plan! I will get even for making me lose face today!â
âBut she isnât wearing the clothes that weâve preparedâ¦â
Betty narrowed her eyes. âThe dress sheâs wearing will do too. If she falls into the water, the fabric would be see-through as well.
âGot it. Iâll call for the preparations to be made.â
Actually, their plan was simple. They just wanted Mu Xiaoxiao to look bad in front of the crowd by pushing her into the pool and exposing her body.
The fabric of the dress that they had prepared would shrink if it touched water.
Maybe Mu Xiaoxiao was too vigilant or had found out about their plan, but she didnât wear the dress in the end.
However, what they hadnât known was that Mu Xiaoxiao didnât know how to swim. Thus, she would subconsciously avoid the pool and wouldnât go near, staying far away from it.
The venue was extremely big. There were people hugging and dancing, and there were others drinking merrily.
Mu Xiaoxiao liked this about America. Everyone was very open, which made parties exciting and the atmosphere really hyped.
She was unconsciously influenced by this mood, and her mouth quirked up involuntarily.
Just then, a person came up to her and gestured if she wanted to dance.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and rejected him.
The man retreated embarrassedly.
From afar, Betty and her clique were seething with hatred. Why wasnât she taking the bait?
âWhat now? How are we supposed to lure her to the poolside?â
An idea came to Betty. âHow about this. Go find a few boys to mess about, get them to move towards her gradually, and lift her up and throw her into the pool directly!â
If she couldnât be baited, they would use force!
âI⦠donât think that a good ideaâ¦â
âHow is it not a good idea! Donât we do this usually? Hurry up and do it!â
However, they only did this to people they were close to, and no one usually did this to people they werenât familiar with.
However, the female friends had no choice but to listen to her orders.
Just then, a pretty female host with a beautiful figure talked into the mike.
âSince we have a masked ball tonight, so⦠everyone guess it! Thereâs one thing that we canât miss! Is everyone ready?â
Upon hearing this, Bettyâs eyes lit up. âTheyâre going to turn off the lights; letâs make use of this chance to pull her directly to the poolside and push her into the water!â
Betty was pleased at her plan and decided to execute it herself!
âBoth of you, come with me!â
Just then, the female host shouted in an excited voice, âIs everyone ready?â
âReady!â
âTurn off the lights!â
At this command, all the lights by the pool were switched off.
