NovelEnglishChapter 101 Get Ready to Be Thrown Out On the evening of the banquet, Eric cto pickup after I was done getting ready. We headed to the venue together.
I was attending as Eric's date while Levi was invited as a designer.
Originally, Levi and I had considered using this banquet as the official Caldera debut for LunaGlo. But after careful thought, we realized this wasn't our stage. It wouldn't be appropriate to steal the spotlight.
As I walked into the grand hall, my arm linked with Eric's, the atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment. All around me, curious eyes swept in my direction. Each gaze was filled with speculation about my relationship with him.

"Jane, how could you show up with Mr. Flint so openly? You're still married. This isn't a good look for you." Before I saw her, I heard her voice.
Elsa's falsely concerned tone cfrom behind me. When I turned around, I caught the flicker of malice in her eyes before she managed to mask it.
I glanced around the room but didn't see Jeremiah. Then, it hithe probably wasn't on the guest list. This event was exclusive to top business elites, and Jeremiah was far from that. As for Elsa, she must have gotten in thanks to her designer status.
She had spoken loudly-loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. All eyes turned to me.
Murmurs of gossip spread through the crowd.
"I heard rumors about Mr. Flint and Ms. Jane before, but she's still married. And now, they're even showing up at a banquet together?" "Flaunting it before the divorce? That's bold... and shameless." Elsa's eyes flickered with satisfaction, but I caught it.
I smiled and raised my voice slightly. "Jeremiah is all about you now. We're just one step away from finalizing the divorce. Why don't you wait a couple more days? You should be a little more patient. If you push too hard and I suddenly decide not to go through with it, wouldn't that be a huge loss for you?" Elsa's face paled. She quickly put on an aggrieved expression. "Jane, how can you say that? There's nothing going on betweenand Jeremiah." I scoffed. "So, all those photos and articles were fake?" If we were talking about scandals, she definitely hadbeat.
Elsa looked as if she had suffered sgreat injustice. "If you're jealous, I won't see Jeremiah again. I'll stay away from him, alright?" As soon as she finished speaking, her body swayed as if she were about to faint from the sheer emotional distress.
One of her designer friends caught her just in time, her face filled with concern. I saw Elsa lean in and whisper something, and the woman's expression immediately twisted with disdain as she turned to glare at me.

I met her gaze calmly. "She told you that?"
At my words, the woman quickly stepped in front of Elsa as if om protecting her, "Don't even think about making things difficult for Elsa! She wasn't going to expose you. I just can't stand people who wear fakes."
I sighed, looking up at the ceiling. Were people really this gullible? It almost laughable how easily was alm they let themselves be manipulated.
Shaking my head, I turned back to her. "You're accusingof wearing a fake. En." e. And what proof do you have that you're not just slandering me?" Hearing that, the woman yanked Elsa forward with righteous determination.
"Elsa, tell her! Don't worry, I've got your back. If she dares to bully you, we won't let her get away with it!"
