Chapter 254
Third person's POV
"Catherine, will you stay for a bit longer? You are Blake's fiancee after all. I won't be afraid of her with you by my side." Jessica pulled Catherine's arm.
Catherine pulled a wry face.
"Alright, let's go inside. Lettake a look at that woman!" Catherine patted Jessica on the shoulder with sympathy, and also tried to comfort her.
Lillian was already here to challenge Jessica. She should fight back and not back off.
"Don't defeat yourself. Chin up. Be confident!" Catherine encouraged Jessica with a smile.
The two of them returned to the private room. Then, they heard a woman's loud laughter.
"It's her!" Jessica winked at Catherine.
Catherine looked over and was a little stunned. Lillian was around 1.7 meters tall and had a slender and exquisite figure. She had the look that most men would prefer.
Lillian had an attractive face, and her slender, ice-blue dress made her look even more ladylike.
A woman like her would make most women feel less confident.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven Catherine began to hope that it would be best to prevent Blake from seeing Lillian, or she would be jealous.
As Catherine was lost in her thoughts, Lillian took a glass of wine and walked towards them.
Lillian's presence made Jessica tense like a kitten. She grabbed Catherine's arm tightly as if Catherine could give her strength.
Catherine sized Lillian up with her clear eyes. Lillian's height advantage was already enough to wipe both Catherine and Jessica out.
Lillian was curious about who Catherine was. She had just returned from abroad and did not know much about things back home.
Lillian figured that Catherine was just one of Jessica's friends. Both Catherine and Jessica were young, which made Lillian feel a little jealous.
"Miss Hall, I am very sorry. I cin a hurry and did not prepare a gift. This is my business card. You can pick a gift you like from any of my brands." Lillian took out a blue business card from her handbag and passed it to Jessica.
Jessica gawked at the business card. She didn't expect that Lillian would use such a way to attack her.
Catherine nudged Jessica.
"Catherine." Jessica had no idea whether she should take Lillian's business card or not.
Catherine knew that Jessica was out of her wits at this moment. She sighed in silence, wondering how Jessica had ever managed to becan actress in the first place. For now, all Jessica had to do was play along with Lillian and not take things too seriously.
"Thank you. Lettake it for Jessica for now. I wonder what the brands are. Will you tellmore about them?" Catherine smiled and threw back a question.
Lillian's lips curved up slightly, and she proudly introduced the brands that she owned.
Catherine knew these brands, but she must take Jessica's side. So she said indifferently, "I'm afraid I don't know any of the brands that you mentioned. Jessica is my friend, and I know her style. These brands don't quite suit her since she is still a young lady. I guess your brands are customized for mature women, right?"
Lillian's elegant face darkened instantly.
She looked at Catherine with a trace of contempt. "Is that so? These are already international brands. How cyou've never heard of them? Unless... You can't afford them."
Jessica felt great when she heard Catherine's words. And now, hearing that Lillian was taunting Catherine, she no longer wanted to be a coward. She imitated Catherine's indifferent tone and said, "Ms. Watson, I don't think you know who she is yet. There is no way she could not afford to buy your product. They are simply not good enough for her. You know what? I think it's the other way around. You can't afford to use the products she uses."
Catherine turned to look at Lillian, who started to fight back. Catherine chuckled.
Lillian sized Catherine up. Catherine was wearing common luxury, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, really? Then, maybe you should introduce yourself."
Jessica was about to speak, but Leo's indifferent voice cfrom behind Lillian. "Lillian, do you have a problem with my brother's fiancee?"
Lillian turned around and saw Leo. She was shocked.
Leo stood beside Catherine. He revealed a hint of displeasure when he looked at Lillian. "It's Jessica's birthday party. Why are you here? You are not her friend, are you?"
Lillian looked at Catherine in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Leo, is she Blake's fiancee?"
Lillian knew Catherine's name, but she had never met her in person. Therefore, she regarded Catherine as a mere nobody, meddling in other people's business.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatherine was a little surprised that Leo would back them up.
"Boss, you are right. She's not a friend and I didn't invite her here. Since you know her, will you keep her company for me?" Jessica was not afraid of troubling Leo.
Since she knew that Cedrick had already told Leo to watch out for her.
Lillian knew she had screwed up. She wanted to show off, yet she offended Blake's fiancee. She was well aware that Blake was more than capable of making all her brands disappear at once.
"Sorry, I might have cto the wrong place!" Lillian no longer dared to stay here. She took her handbag, lowered her head, and quickly walked towards the door.
Jessica watched Lillian leave dejectedly and hugged Catherine. "Catherine, thank you so much. Finally, we got rid of her!"
Leo stood next to them and said lightly, "I deserve scredits too. Don't forget to remind Cedrick to invest more in our company!"
Jessica smiled while looking at Leo, "Of course. If Cedrick and I get together someday, I'll repay you for sure!"
"Seriously? Do I have to wait till you two get together? How long will that take? Maybe... in the next life!" Leo shrugged and joked.
"What did you say..." Jessica was so angry that her face turned red.
Leo chuckled. "Just kidding. Don't take it seriously."
Jessica stuck her tongue out at him and made a face.
Catherine was amused by Jessica's childish behavior.
