Chapter 213 How Do I Not Have The Right Finished Audrey regained her senses as she felt the questioning gazes on her from all sides. She nearly failed to maintain her facade.
By then, she was sure that Isabella had deliberately made those embarrassing remarks just to mess with her.
She felt wronged. Why was Isabella always making things hard for her? Given Alexanderâs relationship with the group of friends, Isabella should be closer to them. How could she side with outsiders to undermine her?
Huh? Whatâs with Audreyâs look? Is she blaming me? My goodness. She is so full of herself. Is she actually blaming me for not joining her in bullying others?
Isabella felt her goosebumps coming.
As the volume of the discussion suddenly escalated, Caleb came over to handle it. He asked what had happened with a smile.
âItâs nothing much, just introducing a makeup artist to the girls,â Audrey managed to say with a forced. smile. âPerhaps because Isabella is a celebrity, her rates are higher than ours. We were just discussing that.â
With a smile, Caleb said to Dakota, âMs. Meadows, youâve worked hard today. Feel free to sample the wines here. If thereâs one you like, let us know and weâll send it to you.â
Caleb was open and polite, yet Dakotaâs gaze toward him was rather peculiar.

âYouâre too kind, thank you.â Dakota responded politely, taking the opportunity offered by Caleb to the tension and return the atmosphere to a more normal state. She didnât want to let a few sc ms ruin someone elseâs important event and create potential problems for herself.
She had no plans to stick around any longer. She was well aware that these people bore ill intentions toward her. She was not about to let herself continue to be the victim, so she decided to head straight back to the makeup room and wait until the banquet was over.
However, Dakota was extremely grateful toward Isabella. Her eyes silently conveyed her thanks.
Even though her boyfriend, Josiah, was just two persons away from her, she didnât even glance in his direction.
The feeling of being utterly ignored was driving Josiah to the brink of madness. After all, the old Dakota used to revolve around him, her heart and eyes filled only with him. How could she just ignore him like this? He felt suffocated as if his heart was being tightly grasped.
Seeing Dakota about to leave, Josiah finally lost his patience. âWhere do you think youâre going?
Come sit down.â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around turned their gaze toward him.
Is this starting already? The mindless, raging, domineering behavior is showing. Iâm so awkward that Iâm digging my foes into the ground. Come on, havenât you noticed that you didnât even name anyone specifically?
