PopularNovelDerek and Nicholas were also taken aback. Upon seeing the two young girls, they chuckled, "Wow, | didn't see
this coming. Bumping into acquaintances. Totally worth coming tonight." "Yeah! We didn't expect to see you guys
here either."
Derek grinned and said, "We are signed artists of the Palmer Group. We're a bit late, though."
"Ah, | see! But you're not late at all. The cake slicing hasn't even started yet!"
Just as they were getting chatty, there was suddenly a ruckus on the high-society side.
Sounds of a scuffle, smashing wine glasses...
They all reflexively turned to look.
"Lyra, you're so full of yourself! Asking you to dance withwas out of respect, you ungrateful wretch!" A
pudgy, not so handsman was fuming at the woman before him.
Lyra's beautiful face bore five distinct slap marks. She said with humiliation, "I chere for Ms. Palmer's
birthday party, not to dance with you."
"You celebrities, over there...since you've chere, don't try to play innocent! Your role in our high society is to
entertain us!"
Lyra was humiliated but dared not retort. Other celebrities around frowned at the scene.
Scarlett seemed to be on good terms with Lyra; she quickly grabbed a bottle of wine to defuse the situation. "Oh,
Atticus, don't be mad. Con, Lyra, apologize to our Atticus with three shots." The pudgy man didn't say a
word; he just sneered at Lyra.
Lyra took a deep breath, accepted the glass, and downed three shots in quick succession, her face turning red.
"Atticus, I'm sorry. | was wrong."

After getting her there, he put his hand around her waist, forcing her to dance.
Lyra's protests were futile.
"Atticus, don't... I'm really not feeling well."
"No worry. Cwithlater; I'll check you out!"
The statement was so disgusting that people around almost wanted to puke.
But those in the high society circles were cold and indifferent; no one cforward to help.
It seemed like they were used to this kind of thing.
Nicholas cast a worried glance at Derek beside him.
Derek looked a bit grim, but in the end, he did nothing.
Stephanie looked at Nicholas puzzledly and said, "What's wrong? You guys know Lyra?"
Nicholas gave a bitter smile. "She's Derek's ex. They broke up a long tago."
Even though they broke up, seeing this must still hurt.
"Um... need help? | can call Maddie."
