Chapter 102 Poor Vera!
Chapter One Hundred And One
With those words, Aria turned on her heels and started walking away from them, Zach quickly following after her.
Vera’s ears were ringing from fury and she was just about seeing red everywhere.
“Why did you have to butt in and provoke her?” Kurt was saying to her, but she could not hear a thing, “Seriously Vera, can’t you see what I’m trying to do here? Can you be of help to me just once?!”
Vera ignored Kurt and went after Aria, despite Kurt’s protests. Infact, she was not really hearing anything that Kurt was saying at that time.
She rushed after Aria and grabbed a hold of her arm, forcing her to turn around and face her.
“Listen to me, you bitch!…” she started saying as she swung Aria towards her.
But Aria had been waiting for just this opportunity. She knew Vera was going to react the way she did just by being merely provoked and she was ready for her.
She had a glass of red wine in her hands and when Vera turned her around forcefully, she used that opportunity to pour the whole thing down Vera’s face and dress.
“Ahhh!!!” Vera screamed in outrage, as the liquid splashed into her face and drenched her skin and dress.
“What the actual fuck, bitch! You did that on purpose, didn’t you?!” She yelled out once more, as she desperately tried to cover her body with her palms.
She was wearing a light yellow dress that was made of mesh, and once it got in contact with any liquid, pretty much all of her undies could be seen.
Vera was mortified.
“You!…” she cried out once more almost tears, “How could you do this to me?”
Her screams and yells had attracted the attention of the other guests and they all turned to them, their mouths dropping open in shock at the sight before them.
Kurt hurried through the crowd and quickly draped his suit jacket over Vera, shielding her from the eyes of the onlookers.
“Kurt, she did it!” Vera cried out hysterically, pointing at Aria, “She poured me her glass of wine. She was trying to humiliate me.”
Kurt was distressed and angry and he could not think straight at the moment.
So when he hesitated, Vera threw herself into his arms, sighing and crying against his chest, and he could not resist her tears.
He turned on Aria immediately, “Miss Aria, how could you do this to Vera?” He asked through gritted teeth, “Were you trying to humiliate her? Vera gets cold easily. How can you spill liquid on her?!”
How typical!
Aria’s lips twisted in disgust, as she watched this sorry display of affection between Vera and Kurt Eugene. The fact that Kurt was worrying about Vera getting cold, when she’d obviously being the one doing the bullying was just wild to Aria.
Well, she was going to make sure Vera does not get away with this kind of silly act.
“It was an accident,” she uttered softly, her eyes wide in shock as she also clutched her own arm which Vera had previously grabbed, “She suddenly pulled me to her…Vera, were you trying to make me trip or something?”
The crowd was murmuring now, since not everyone saw how things went down. However, what they can see now is a woman drenched in wine and crying in the arms of a man, a proper bullying victim.
Vera was furious Aria was trying to wiggle her way out of it, “Don’t try to twist things!” She sobbed “You poured the wine all over me because you were trying to humiliate me, weren’t you?”
“No, I wasn’t,” Aria repeated firmly and calmly, “You grabbed me and pulled me to yourself. It was an accident!”
“Liar!”
“There are literally cameras everywhere, Vera Hale.”
Even though she had indeed threw the wine deliberately all over Vera, Aria knew that was not what it would look like in the cameras.
Vera had placed hands on her first.
If she was going to be suing, Vera was definitely going be the one that will be detained.
Suddenly, Selena pushed herself to the front of the crowd and stood by Vera’s side, helping to comfort her. She faced Aria, glaring venomously at her, “Aria, stop lying. I saw you pour the wine all over Miss Vera earlier,” she said, her voice loud and hateful, “You deliberately did it to humiliate her or something!”
Aria rolled her eyes heavenward as soon as Selena appeared, “Who the fuck is this bitch now?” She muttered under her breath in frustration.
Taking a deep breath, she faced Selena and said through gritted teeth, “And why would I do that exactly? For what purpose?”
“Well…” Selena was struggling to find the right word, “Probably because you were jealous of her of something!”
Aria rolled her eyes once more, and Selena went in more vindictively.
“You did that because you just love going on a power trip!” She yelled then scoffed in disbelief, “Ever since you married into the Graves family, you changed completely! That’s why it’s said we should never give a diamond to a pig! They would think it’s plastic! You’re not fit as the Graves family daughter in law!”
“Exactly!” Vera piped up from where she was crumpled in Kurt’s arms, “That was the exact same way you had us thrown out of the Graves shopping mall last week!”
There were shocked gasps from the people standing around. They could not imagine Aria doing something like that.
“She actually did that?! Wow, she’s scary!”
“I must say, all the power she received when she married into the Graves family must have gone to her head!”
“Even her own sister had this to say of her, who then are we supposed to believe?”
“Ugh! I actually liked the look of her. I can’t believe she’s just a bully!”
“What a drama queen! Going on a power trip at every opportunity!”
“Poor Vera! She does not deserve all this happening to her!”
