Chapter 355 Chapter 355 100 % Oops , my bad ! The carpet was uneven , and I tripped .

Let me buy you a new dress , Sandra quickly apologized , her tone genuinely sincere .

But her faint smile was impossible to suppress .

Joycelyn turned her head slightly , glancing at Ellison , who was casually holding a glass of champagne .

The pleased look in his eyes said it all .

She immediately knew who let Sandra do that .

Bellina had never been so humiliated in her life .

Enraged ; she grabbed her wine glass and hurled it straight at Sandra .

Sandra swiftly dodged , causing the glass to fly past her and smash onto a woman standing behind her .

The woman shrieked , clutching her head .

Though the glass itself didnt cause a serious injury , the wine splattered down her face , making for a horrifying sight .

By her side , Payton immediately pulled out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and started dabbing at her face .

His expression was filled with displeasure .

But when he turned and saw Bellina , his gaze softened .

Belle , are you alright ? Payton asked with concern , still holding onto his girlfriend .

His girlfriends face turned stormy .

Payton , shes the one who hit me , and youre worried about her ? Payton reassured her , Its an important occasion .

Im sure she didnt do it on purpose .

Calm down , go clean up .

Everyones watching .

You dont want to lose your composure .

She did it on purpose ! She needs to apologize ! The woman fumed .

She had just been humiliated in front of all these high- society guests .

Her hair was soaked , her dress ruined , and her dignity crushed .

She could not let it slide .

Shes still a kid .

Getting too angry over this will just make you seem petty , Payton said patiently as if he were scolding her instead of Bellina .

What ? The woman was furious .

She shoved him away and stormed off to the restroom .

Belle , go change your dress .

More guests will be arriving soon .

You dont want to embarrass yourself any further , Lily whispered , lowering her voice to console the fuming Bellina .

As Lily turned to Sandra , her tone dripped with sarcasm .

She said , You did that on purpose , didnt you ? You just cant stand to see Belle doing well .

Some people sure are sneaky .

Staying in the background while getting others to do their dirty work ! Throwing Sandra a sharp glare , Lily removed her shawl and wrapped it around Bellinas waist to cover the stain before leading her upstairs to the VIP lounge .

Even as they walked away , Lily shot Sandra one last venomous look .

Moments later , Jerome and Timothy arrived , just in time to see Bellina sniffling and being escorted away .

What happened ? Timothy asked as he approached Sandra .

Nothing much .

She wore the same dress color as Joycelyn , and I mistook her for Joycelyn .

I accidentally spilled some wine on her dress , Sandra said with an innocent shrug .

Timothy turned to Jerome and warned , Today is Joycelyns birthday .

Everyone values this occasion .

If she stirs up any trouble , dont blame me for not showing mercy .

Though Timothy wore a polite smile , the icy sharpness in his gaze carried an unmistakable warning .

Jeromes expression was clouded with a hint of melancholy .

He nodded seriously .

I understand .

Meanwhile , Sandra returned to the inner hall after successfully executing her wine spilling mission .

Lucy and the others gave her a thumbs up .

Takes one to handle one , Sandra said smugly , placing her empty wine glass onto a passing servers tray and crossing her arms .

There are too many people outside .

Were not that close with most of them anyway .

Why dont we go cat ? Joycelyn suggested .

Being socially anxious , she had no interest in standing in the front hall and letting everyone celebrate her .

She just wanted to enjoy her birthday party , eating , drinking , and making memories with the friends she was actually close to .

Besides , her picture was already displayed outside .

So technically , shed made an appearance .

She had just gone downstairs for a brief moment , and countless people had already swarmed over to wish her happy birthday and present their gifts .

The gift table was already piled high .

As the Schultz familys cherished daughter , she had all the attention she could ever need .

Im hungry .

Lets eat first , Ellison said , putting an arm around her and leading her toward the grand dining table at the center of the inner hall .

As soon as he spoke , Haddy and Leon also made their way over .

Lucy had been gleefully chatting with Sandra about Bellinas humiliating moment when she suddenly caught sight of Haddy .

He was impeccably dressed , exuding an effortless elegance .

Her eyes flickered toward him for just a second .

Yet in that single second , Haddy immediately caught her gaze and looked right back at her .

Their eyes met .

At this grand party , Haddy stood out .

He was distinguished and graceful , as if carrying his halo of light .

His natural poise and aristocratic charm were especially striking at this moment .

Lucy quickly blinked and averted her gaze .

The dining table was long , adorned with a breathtakingly elegant floral arrangement .

Ellison pulled out the chair at the head of the table for Joycelyn .

Thank you , honey , Joycelyn said sweetly as she gracefully took her seat .

Ellisons indulgent smile was completely unrestrained .

Its my duty .

With the birthday girl seated , everyone else also found their spots .

Boys were on one side , and girls on the other .

Lucy sat beside Joycelyn .

She glanced across the table at Ellison , then nudged Sandra , signaling her to shift one seat over .

Lucy , it seems you love sitting with Haddy .

Leon swirled the wine in his glass and smirked mischievously .

The moment he said it , all eyes at the table turned toward Lucy .

Mind your own business .

Lucy shot him a glare , her fists subtly clenching .

Hey , Haddy , shes bullying me .

Arent you gonna do something ? Leon playfully fanned the flames .

I wouldnt dare , Haddy responded with a gentle chuckle .

Whatever .

Leon snickered , eyes twinkling with mischief .

They were not together yet , yet Haddy was already standing on Lucys side .

Lucy immediately struck back .

Sandra , I heard youve got a ridiculously handsome little follower now .

Who is he ? Leons smirk vanished instantly after hearing that .

He said , What the hell ? You have a follower ? Which fool has been following you around ? Is he stupid ? AS soon as he finished , Edward blinked his innocent eyes and said , Its fine .

Sandra is really strong .

Shes safe .

Leon turned to look at Edward , utterly baffled .

Wait … arent you my Joycelyns cousin ? Why the hell are you playing lapdog for Sandra ? Leon thought Edward had to be out of his mind .

Edward actually tried to compete for his role ..
