With a "clang," Angela's wine glass full of red wine suddenly dropped onto Stephanie's white dress, shattering on the floor.
Now, Stephanie's dress was covered in conspicuous red stains.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm sorry, Ms. Bishop... I didn't do it on purpose." Before Stephanie could speak, Maddie was already angry.
"Angela, I think you did it on purpose! There's so much room to walk, but you had to bump into her, and you dare to say it wasn't on purpose?" "Uh... I really didn't see you guys coming, I'm sorry... I can buy you a new dress." Her apology seemed sincere, and she was willing to pay for the damages. People around them felt that Angela's attitude was quite proper.
Maddie was about to scold Angela more, but Stephanie stopped her, "Maddie, don't make a scene... There are so many people watching. If you cause a fuss, your mom will scold you later." Maddie restrained herself, giving Angela a fierce glare.
Stephanie said indifferently, "Ms. Klein, be careful next time... You don't need to compensatefor the dress. Goodbye." With that, she left with Maddie.
Angela clenched her teeth, noticing that they were heading towards the auction site, not planning to leave. "Ms. Bishop, wait!" Angela's voice was a bit loud... Stephanie had no choice but to turn back, "What is it, Ms. Klein?" "Steph... Won't you callby my name?" Stephanie frowned, "Angela, what exactly do you want to say?" "Steph, I know... you're the illegitimate daughter of our Kleine family. You must think I don't like you, so you avoid me... But even if you don't like me, we're still blood-related sisters..." Rebecca always made her entrance last.
She just arrived as the auction was about to start and happened to witness this scene...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStephanie was the illegitimate daughter of the Klein family? Hmm... Did Sebastian know about this? The eyes of the people attending the auction also fell on Stephanie because of Angela's words.
Stephanie clenched her fists and frowned at Angela but didn't speak.
Maddie couldn't help but mock, "Angela, isn't your goal just to letn that everyone here know that Steph is the illegitimate daughter of your Klein family? What do you want?" Upon hearing this, Stephanie took a
deep breath, "I'm sorry, Ms. Klein Please don't asswe're related. I am the daughter of the Bishop family...I have no connection with your family!"
Angela's eyes reddened, "Steph... I genuinely like you as my sister. Hearing about your childhood m experiences, fett really bad... You and your mom depended on each other, living in such a remote place... I later learned that there were several incidents of underage girls being sexually harassed there... I was so scared, I begged my dad more than once to bring you back home..." She wanted to imply that Stephanie, having grown up there, must have been "unclean." Stephanie felt it was too much.
