Chapter 55: Bridal carry

Seeing this, the smiles on Samantha's parent's faces froze. They wondered why Lomesa ignored them as though she didn't know them. Samantha's mother couldn't help I and walked forward to block Lomesa's path. She had already put on her fake smile again. Lomesa naturally knew who this person was. She couldn't help but feel annoyed by his bigging. Why couldn't she let her go? She was clearly disgusted by them, where they planning on disgusting her till she puked all her contents in her stomach or what? That was what Lomesa failed to understood. She pursed her lips into a thin line and her eyes turn immensely cold as she said;

"Make way " Lomesa said. There was a tinge of impatience in her voice.

"Ah,? What's wrong Lomesa, can't you recognize me? I'm your auntie" Samantha's mother decided to smooth things over by saying this. However, to Lomesa, these words sounded extremely ridiculous. What auntie, ? No auntie would viciously scheme against the niece or nephew, isn't that right? Moreover, Lomesa had no blood relations with Samantha's mother, how could she still have the nerve to call herself her auntie?

"I'm sorry but I only have one relative in this world." Lomesa said. Her voice was cold, carrying no hint of warmth at all. Even the people who were watching the show couldn't help but frown upon hearing Lomesa's words. They felt that she was too direct to an elder which was considered rude .

"What's the use of being beautiful? Tsk take, she's so rude."

"Right, she shouldn't Have said so to that elder"

"Actually, i heard that her grades are very poor in school. She's basically just s pretty vase."

"What's she pretending for?"

"How disgusting, I hate people like her the most."

The criticisms kept on rising . However, Lomesa looked as though it had nothing to do with her. When Samantha heard those people criticising Lomesa, the corners of her mouth curled upwards imperceptibly. She lowered her head, afraid that she might be discovered. However, she was very thrilled in her heart. She liked it when Lomesa was bashed and embarrassed. That way, her reputation would be so poor in her social circle that they wouldn't even bother sparing her another glance. Just like now, when they bright up the grade points,, Samantha was so happy. She believed that as long as that rumours spread out, Lomeda would always be seen as a vase, which would make people think that beauty wasn't everything. That way, Samantha who had a plain face, would feel that she had Been defended. After all , what Samantha hated the most about herself was her plain appearance. No matter how much effort she put on to appear pretty, nothing came out of it. The only thing she was proud of was that she was intelligent. Atleast that was why her parents would bring her along to socialize as they bragged about her grades. Samantha would always thank the gods for allowing her to be brilliant. Thinking ablut the snow that she had arranged for Lomesa tonight, Samantha's hahds shook in excitement. She was just suppressing herself from shouting out loud. She wabted Lomesa's reputation to go down the drain tonight. She wanted to embarrassed Lomesa so much that she would never be able to raise her head before people, or show her face to the world over again. After stabilising her emotions, Samantha continued standing to the side while watching the show happily. However, when she looked at Lomesa's cirrebt appearance, she couldn't help but frown. Shouldn't Lomesa be feeling frantic and flustered as she tries explaining herself and denying the accusations that were being hurled at her? However, Lomesa who was being mocked , was standing languidly at the saud with her arms crossed on her chest as she watched in amusement while these brainless socialites slandered her. She had no intention of clearing her name. To her, these were mundane things, did she still have to care about what others thought of her? She had alot of things to do after all. She didn't want to get dragged into some nonessential rumours that didn't seem to have an effect on her. Infact, she was feeling a little hungry, she wanted to go over atvthe table that contained pastries, but these people suddenly emerged and blocked her way, how could Lomesa not feel angry? She just wabted to eat, she couldn't care less about a bunch of useless trash who only knew how to talk nonsense instead of working on themselves.

Kai looked at Lomesa and realized that those comments didn't seem to have an effect on her. When he looked at Lomesa's calm face, he couldn't help but secretejy heave a sigh of relief. At first, he thought that those malicious comments would make the girl break down. Fortunately, the girl had a string mental fortitude. Infact at the moment, she was standing there and looking at the people as though she was silently mocking them . The smile on her face was still as bright as ever. Speaking of which, this little girl seened to have many secrets. After all, she very beautiful in a delicate way. Thus, anyone whonsaw would either wish to pamper and protect her to the bones, or bully her till she cried her eyes out. That was the impression that Lomesa always left to people. Now, seeing her ignoring everything around her, Kai only felt that she was trying her level best by not breaking down. He only felt that she was faking it. Indeed, Lomesa was definitely faking it. It wasn't that she lacked emotions or was a robot. Lomesa was a human top. Who would accept endless mockery, Moreover, this people seened to be intentionally targeting her. After thinking for a while, she felt that these busybodies didn't deserve her time. So, she snorted coldly and said;

"I'm done watching the show, if you'll excuse me." As Lomesa saud this, she gestured with her hand fir people who blocking her way to make way. She didn't want to associate herself with pathetic people. What if she also becane infected with it? Ewww! Lomesa couldn't help but cringe when she thought about it. She decided that she should stay as far away as possible from them. When the proe heard what Lomesa saud, they subconsciously made way for her. They only came back to their senses afyer a long time after realising what they had done. They flushed red in embarrassment. They actually took an order from am underaged girl? That was way too ridiculous! When Kai saw this, his eyes revealed a trace of a smile. This girl just now had an aura of a queen, that just meant she was going to prosper in the near future. . If she could command the people like how she did just now at 17 years old, what would her aura be like, in the near future? Kai's eyes shone with intrigue. She wanted to see what other surprises the girl would bring him. Even Kai himself didn't realize that he had become overly concerned about Lomesa. He just thought that he wanted to sleep with her and that was it. But, why was he behaving so unusually? Fortunately, Ian and Blake weren't around to witness the crazy things that Kai was doing . Also, if they knew the thoughts that were running in Kai's mind, the would definitely look at him as though he was someone foreign. After all, the Ian they knew was swift and decisive. He was also emotionless, just like a robot. if they found out that he had the impulse to go and stand up for Lomesa earlier on, wouldn't they be shocked to death? The good thing was that they did not know what was currently going on in Kai's mind. At the moment, they were busy socialising and Ian would flirt with girls from time to time. When Samantha saw Lomesa leaving, she immediately gave the water whom she had bribed earlier, a look. The waiter instantly understood the meaning in her eyes and nodded her head. Then, she left to execute the deed that she was instructed to do. After Lomesa got away from the crowd, her main aim was to eat. She couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw the pastries that were placed neatly on the table a few metres away from her. Her eyes instantly lit up and she hurriedly walked over. At that moment, the people who had initially been watching the show had already dispersed. After all, the show was already over and they saw no need of dawdling around there. They immediately went back to socialising. Lomesa was just less that two metres away from the table when she felt a cold sensation on her clothes, followed by a waiter's apology.

"I'm sorry miss, I really didn't do it on purpose." The waiter said frantically as she took out a handkerchief to wipe away the stain on Lomesa's dress. The stain was caused by the red wine that had "accidentally" slipped from the waiter's hand.

Lomesa looked at the flustered expression amd pursed her lips into a thin line . She fell into deep thought.

"Miss, why don't I take you to change your clothes. This stain doesn't seem to get clean.."
