“What on earth are you talking about?” Justin raised an eyebrow, only feeling that she was


    unreasonable.


    “I want you to stay away from me. I don’t need you to be nice to me. Not even a single bit.”


    Be endured the pain in her stomach as she stood up, her face pale.” Is it because Rosalind Gold has


    left you and your excessive passion has nowhere to go now? I’m not a garbage bin, so don’t settle for


    second best here. You might be willing to humble yourself, but I’m not willing to lower my standards!”


    Justin clenched his fist tightly, the great humiliation and indignance making his eyes redden.


    He only wanted to give her a cupcake because he saw that she was hungry and in pain. He wanted to


    ease her hunger. How could she demonize him and verbally attack him with such hateful words?


    Be put on her high heels, straightened her back, and stormed off.


    Justin picked up the cupcake, watching her heartless back go, almost unable to catch his breath.


    The Be of today would no longer smile at him like a blooming flower.


    Their failed marriage was a deeply painful memory for her.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    It made her seem like a soldier who had a near-death experience on the battlefield, which left her with


    post-traumatic stress disorder. If he were even a little bit nice to her, she would resist it wholeheartedly


    with suspicion.


    Justin’s thin lips trembled as he endured the intense pain in his heart, crushing the cupcake further in


    his palm.


    A perfectly fine person and a perfectly fine rtionship. It seemed he had ruined it all.


    In the hall, there was still some time before the auction started. Alice and Ada Wang were the two


    giants from the fashion and entertainment industries, respectively, present tonight. Thus, they were the


    stars of the event. The media constantly followed them around to interview them.


    Shannon had gone to chat with and establish connections with the other rich wives, while Bethany and


    Zoe both had their own ns.


    Bethany wanted to take a photo with Ada Wang and receive another wave of questions from the


    reporters. After all, she was the one who managed to seal the deal, so she hoped she could publicize


    this to show off her capability.


    Zoe, on the other hand, wanted to get a photo with Alice to increase. her own trendiness, which would


    be beneficial to her future career in the fashion industry.


    “Ms. Ada! I didn’t expect you to wear this ne to the auction today. It looks like you really like it!”


    Bethany saw that Ada Wang was wearing the ne she gave her tonight, so she used this as an


    excuse to start a conversation.


    The reporters surrounded the two, the lights of their cameras shing nonstop.


    “Of course, I like it very much. This is Alexa’s work, after all.”


    Although Ada Wang did not like Bethany’s superficial personality,


    Bethany had given her the ne. Plus, Salvador Corporation was her wedding organizer, so she


    could not be too cold to Bethany.


    Thus, Ada put an arm around Bethany’s waist and generously took a photo with her.


    When Bethany saw that the international superstar’s attitude had softened toward her and even pulled


    her closer, she was ted!


    “Ms. Ada! Do you n to bid on an item as your contribution to the charity, or do you n on donating


    an item to be auctioned off at tonight’s charity auction?” The reporter asked.


    “Tonight, I n to donate a piece of jewelry as my contribution to the charity,” Ada Wang replied with a


    polite smile.


    “Oh? Is it a precious piece of jewelry? Could you tell us more about it?”


    “That’s a secret. You’ll know when the timees.”


    Elsewhere, Zoe was looking for an opportunity to approach Alice.


    She waited until Alice finally finished her interview and mustered her courage, quickly stepping forward


    to greet her.


    “Ms. Alice! Please wait!”


    Alice stopped in her tracks


    d in her tracks when she heard someone call her name.


    She looked at a smiling Zoe coldly from behind her sunsses.


    That


    Naturally, Alice did not recognize Zoe, who was wearing an evening. dress that was in a style and color


    that did not suit her at all, despite it being from this year’s fall/winter couture collection. Alice felt that


    Zoe was a person with mediocre taste who only looked at the price tag and did not consider if the outfit


    was right for her. Thus, Alice felt even less like interacting with her.


    “Ms. Alice, I grew up reading Mint magazines. I’m a loyal fan!” Zoe’s


    round little face blushed as she poured her heart out to Alice.


    “Grew up? Ha. Am I that old?” Alice smiled perfunctorily.


    “N-no! You’re not old at all!”


    Zoe was so embarrassed that she was sweating. She hurriedly


    exined, “What I meant is that I really admire you! I really like you! I-


    Can I-”


    But before she could finish speaking, she saw Alice brush past her hurriedly without even giving her a


    single nce!


    “M-Ms. Alice!”


    Zoe picked up her dress and hurriedly turned around. In the next moment, her eyes widened, and she


    paled.


    “Ms. Thompson! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Alice smiled and walked towards Be


    excitedly.


    It looked as if they were close friends who had known each other for years.
