Chapter 290 A Counterfeit
Peter gave them a resigned shrug. “The main reason is that I can’t show my face today. That’s why she rejected
me.”
Isn’t he too confident about his looks?
Elizabeth paid no attention to him. After all, she thought Matthew was the most handsome man in the world. No
matter how dashing this man before her was, she had no feelings toward him, nor was she interested in finding out.
She calmly raised her glass again and took another sip of the wine. Matthew, if you still can’t find me, then I’m
leaving
Elizabeth, who often liked throwing tantrums, was upset and rather hot–tempered at that moment.
She couldn’t believe that he would lose her. This is simply ridiculous.
Out of the group of men and women, Tiana spotted Elizabeth at one glance. That was because the necklace on the
latter’s neck was something Tiana’s aunts had wanted to buy, and Tiana thought it was merely a cheap necklace.
She couldn’t believe that Elizabeth would wear something that cost fifty bucks to a party like this.
Her lips curled up into a cold smirk as she whispered to the girl beside her, “I know who she is now. She’s the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdaughter of my family’s housekeeper. I don’t know how she sneaked in, but I recognize the necklace around her
neck. She bought it at a roadside stall, and it costs less than a hundred.”
The girl Tiana spoke to was fond of Peter and was also his ex–girlfriend. As long as Peter didn’t find a new girlfriend
today, she could continue staying by his side.
As she really liked Peter, she absolutely despised anyone else on whom the man set his eyes.
Upon hearing Tiana’s words, she tilted her head upward. It turned out the woman Peter was talking to was merely a
lowly daughter of a housekeeper.
Anyone who dared to steal her man practically had a death wish.
She walked over and reached out to tug the necklace off Elizabeth’s neck.
Before she could do that, Elizabeth grabbed her hand. “What are you doing?”
The girl snorted in response. “You got this necklace from a roadside stall, didn’t you? It doesn’t even have a single
rhinestone. It likely costs ten bucks at most.”
As she said that, she glanced at Peter, who was at the side.
“Darling, don’t tell me that you like this type of woman too?”
Tiana crossed her arms in front of her chest as she watched the scene coldly. Her lips curled up into a smirk, and
she felt satisfied deep down.
Elizabeth, just wait till you embarrass yourself at a place like this filled with socialites.
The group of girls who were beside Elizabeth also glanced at the necklace. All of them were from wealthy families
or families of officials, and they were familiar with jewelry. With just one look at a gemstone, they could guess how
much it cost.
Not only that, but they could even tell what brand it was.
When they saw the necklace on Elizabeth’s neck, they didn’t see any diamonds. Furthermore, the necklace was also
of poor quality and was unlike the quality of necklaces they had at the moment.
Hence, all of them assumed it was a counterfeit. Although it only seemed decent on the outside, in reality, it was
something very cheap.
Those in their circle especially looked down on those who wore imitations and believed such people didn’t deserve
to attend their gatherings.
“Excuse me, miss. Are you trying to challenge Nicolas by wearing a counterfeit to his birthday party?”
The Ferguson family was, after all, one of the four most prominent families in Mistwood. They were of exceptional
status, and Nicolas’s friends would naturally be of affluent backgrounds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs such, they felt Elizabeth must have snuck in, and she wasn’t worthy of being here.
Elizabeth glanced at them and met their gazes.
In a calm voice, she responded, “Why don’t you ask Nicolas if I’m trying to challenge him here?”
When the woman who liked Peter heard that, there was a cold gleam in her gaze. I can’t believe she’s still trying to
fight back at a time like this. She truly has a death wish!
As soon as the woman tightened her grip, Elizabeth grabbed the former’s thumb and threw the woman oyer her
shoulder.
The woman fell to the floor heavily, and the mask slipped off her face. The miserable expression on her
countenance made those around her feel her pain as well.
“She hit me! She hit me…” she sobbed. light.
In an instant, everyone else turned their attention toward them. There was even a spotlight that shone onto them.
Elizabeth stood in the spotlight with her slender figure, and the diamond on her silver mask glinted brilliantly under
the
She outshone every other woman who was present. Although they couldn’t see her face, her outfit–coupled with
the aura
she exuded was enough to make her stand out from the crowd.
