Chapter 31 " Gentle Breeze , " " kitchen , " " helping out . " Giselle's image plummeted with just a few words . It turned out Giselle was just a woman who relied on her looks and body to get clos They had thought she was some wealthy heiress . Those attending the fashion banquet were either rich or noble . to the president of Radiant Entertainment . They were either sons and daughters of some elites , A - list celebrities , or those seizing the opportunity to network . All of them were well - known figures . They didn't expect a servant here . People's once admiring gazes at Giselle instantly turned disdainful . Giselle heard a familiar voice and paused . She gave Sarah a cold glance before resuming her stride with Rocco . " Gigi , why are you walking so fat ? Since we've bumped into each other , let's go in together . " Sarah , who had come alone , caught up with them . Bradley wasn't interested in such banquets . Sarah had invited him before , but he had declined . Hence , she didn't bother asking him this time . Giselle was caught by Sarah and had to stop . She remained expressionless . " Miss Mendoza , does your mother know about your habit of claiming relatives randomly ? " " Gigi , why be so confrontational ? You lived in my house for so many years , and I've called you Gigi for quite some time . Even though we've severed ties , there's no need to act like enemies . Don't you agree ? " Sarah wasn't angry at all . Instead , she remained a smile . Giselle was disgusted at Sarah's innocent smile . Despite all the evil deeds Sarah did and the recent exposure of her dirty laundry , it had only been a month . 1 Where did she get the audacity to pretend in front of others ? " I have no interest in reminiscing with you here . Wasn't the purpose of you cutting ties with me to keep me away from you ? Why are you pretending to call me Gigi now ? Aren't you afraid I'll come after your family fortune ? " Giselle ignored the curious onlookers and coldly questioned Sarah . It was time to enter the venue . The dispute attracted the attention of many guests . Some recognized the two from the Mendoza family birthday banquet and immediately began discussing the events of that night . Sarah's face turned ugly . Hiring people to humiliate the illegitimate daughter wasn't an honourable matter for her . What more could these people say ? Combined with the online mockery of the Gentle Breeze incident , Sarah's reputation was taking a beating . Some even openly shared dirty jokes about her online . It made Sarah wish she could rush up and tear those people apart ! She was determined to drag Giselle down with her . " But , Gigi , even though you have no relationship with our family now , you grew up in our house . You received the same education as me . You've learned what I learned . How could you be so fast to divorce Brad and then be with Mr. Henderson from Radiant Entertainment ? " She had to pour this dirty water on Giselle . While her words were not explicit , the intention behind them was clear . What she said guided everyone's thoughts toward inappropriate assumptions . One was the president of an entertainment company , and the other was a supposed fake heiress expelled from an aristocratic family . Cinderella and the Prince's story was not always as romantic as it seemed . Reality often involved attractions and financial considerations . " Miss Sarah , what do you mean by that ? " Rocco couldn't stand it . His deep eyes glanced coldly at Sarah . If it weren't for Winnie holding him back , he would have confronted this woman a long time ago . He had been holding back all this time because Winnie said it wasn't appropriate for him to intervene in women's affairs . Thus , he endured . But this woman just wouldn't stop ! Sarah didn't think Rocco would speak up . She was momentarily stunned . Seizing this opportunity , Rocco continued without any interference . 1/2 < Chapter 31 +30 Vouchers " Even if we were really in a romantic relationship , what's wrong with that ? Is there a law that says I can't pursue a divorced woman ? Miss Sarah , what's wrong with this ? " Sarah was left speechless by Rocco's questioning . But Rocco wasn't done . He went on questioning before ending it with a sardonic laugh . " How can discussing a love affair involve your family's education ? It seems your family's education is quite feudal . Miss Sarah , are you still waiting for your parents ' approval to date ? " Laughter erupted around them . Sarah was left fuming . Her face pale as she retorted , " I never said there was anything wrong with you two dating . What I meant was that Giselle got into a relationship with you too fast . Who knows if she was involved with you before her divorce ! " " Wow , she really dares to say that , " people thought as they observed the scene . Sarah , noticing the lack of rebuttal from Giselle and Rocco , lifted her head in a triumphant manner . " Mr. Henderson , you should be more careful . Perhaps that woman next to you already knew she couldn't get any money from the Ferrell family , so she paved her own way , eyeing the money you make ! Otherwise , how could she be so quick to divorce Brad ? In the past , she wouldn't have given it up so easily ! " " Miss Sarah , not only are you delusional , but you don't seem to understand human language . " Giselle's response was much calmer in comparison . even those who brought their subordinates . " Mr. Henderson explained earlier that we are only business partners . Tonight , I am attending the banquet as his companion . Yet , you seem to enjoy putting all sorts of labels on us . Does that also mean everyone here tonight is in a romantic relationship ? " Although there were many couples at the banquet , there were also siblings , fathers and daughters , Sarah's baseless accusations now seemed ridiculous , especially with Giselle's factual statement . However , Sarah remained unapologetic . Her eyes were filled with disdain . " What cooperation can a cook working at Gentle Breeze possibly have with Mr. Henderson ? Do you even know what the theme of tonight's banquet is ? Are you planning to switch from catering to designing dishes ? " Sarah mocked . " Miss Sarah , I don't need you to worry about my cooperation with Mr. Henderson . But , perhaps you should consider apologising for directing your fans to attack Gentle Breeze , " Giselle brought up the incident in front of everyone . Sarah was filled with anger as she recalled the incident . " What did I do wrong ? Why should I apologise ? It's not like I've instructed them to block Gentle Breeze's entrance . I even posted that the car accident had nothing to do with Gentle Breeze ! It's their own fault for being so foolish . Why should I apologise ? They brought the criticism on themselves ! " She was being scolded because of the Gentle Breeze incident ! Because of that , she had been criticised online almost every day . The money she spent to hire people to frame Giselle was all in vain . There was so much money wasted ! Why should she apologise ? She glared at Giselle with resentment in her eyes . If Giselle hadn't released those videos , how could there have been so much trouble ? Giselle ignored her gaze arid didn't want to continue entangling with her . Just as she was about to turn and leave , she lifted her eyes and saw a familiar face . Suddenly , she stopped in her tracks , and a smile rose on her face . " Whether or not you apologise is up to you . But there's something that might concern both of us . " " Earlier , you mentioned that I divorced too fast . I remembered that Brad hadn't taken care of the legal procedures yet . So , could you please ask him when he plans to finalise the divorce ? I'd like to return to single status . " It's hindering my dating life . " The room fell silent as soon as she said that . All eyes followed Giselle's gaze toward a figure . Chapter Comments
