Valda looked up and saw a young woman wearing a pearl pink dress speaking, while two companions stood beside her.
Valda knows this woman, Tracy Barlow, who is a rising star in the entertainment industry this year.
Sheâs been making headlines lately and is a wealthy and beautiful woman. Her familyâs business is well-known in Emerald City, and sheâs an only child who could have inherited the family business, but chose to pursue a career in entertainment instead.
However, since she entered the entertainment industry, she has had very good natural resources, coupled with her sweet appearance, so she has gained a large number of fans in a very short period of time.
Valda looked at the other person. Her womanâs intuition told her that the other personâs approach was not just a simple inquiry.
âYes, I am Brianâs fiancée,â she stood up and gracefully admitted.
âWow, this is really unbelievable.â
âExactly, I thought Brianâs girlfriend would be the stunning type that outshines everyone else.â
Tracyâs two companions behind her muttered, causing Valda to furrow her brows slightly. Tracy smiled and said, âSorry, my friends can be a bit blunt. I hope you donât mind.â
Valda faced the insincere smile on the other personâs face. In the past, she might have just nodded and pretended nothing was wrong.
Even if you know the other person has bad intentions, itâs not appropriate to confront them and ruin the relationship.
But now, she doesnât want to continue being so weak. If she can be easily mocked by others, then in the future, that mockery will also be directed towards Brian.
Now that she is Brianâs fiancée, they are inextricably linked.
âI donât think itâs being straightforward, I just think itâs rude. But since thatâs the case, why should I care?â Valda said.
As soon as she spoke, the three of them immediately changed their expressions.
The two women behind Tracy immediately said, âWho do you think you are? Youâre neither a socialite nor a popular star. What makes you think youâre worthy of standing next to Brian? If it werenât for Brian, you wouldnât even be able to attend tonightâs banquet!â
Valda said, âWho am I, and who are you to decide whether Iâm worthy or not to be with Brian? Do you have the qualifications to make that decision?â
This speech immediately silenced the two of them, their faces turning red as they glared at Valda with hatred.
Tracy pretended to be a good person and said, âIâm sorry, please donât mind what my friend said. We were just curious. We heard that Brian had a girlfriend before, but she disappeared. Brian has been looking for her, and we didnât expect her to show up today.â
âIt was said that she disappeared unexpectedly, but who knows if there was something shady going on and she disappeared on purpose!â One of Tracyâs female companions behind her spoke 1.
Tracy hurriedly said, âHow can you say that! How could someone disappear on purpose!â
âWho knows, otherwise let her explain why she disappeared!â
Tracy turned to Valda and said, âWhy donât we explain it? To be honest, Iâm also very curious. Iâm sure itâs not just us who are curious. If we donât explain, it will only lead to more speculation. Itâs better to be open and clear about the situation. This way, people wonât be suspicious.â
Valda is not foolish. The other person is saying this openly, but in reality, they just want to know the specific details of her disappearance and want to manipulate the situation to their advantage.
But her disappearance is not just a personal matter for her, it also involves many other people.
