NovelEnglishChapter 119
Kayla turned her attention to Marissa after she confirmed that Nion had indeed arrived. Seeing Marissa's pale
face, Kayla asked, "Marissa, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Marissa glanced at Diana beside her and forced a smile. "I'm fine."
But Kayla could see right through Marissa's forced smile. "What's really going on?" She leaned slightly forward,
looking to the other side of Marissa, and finally spotted the enigmatic smile on Diana's face. Both Kayla and
Diana cfrom prestigious families, and they knew each other. Seeing Marissa's forced smile, Kayla was
certain that Diana had bullied Marissa. Kayla's expression darkened. "Mrs. Beaumont, did you say something to
Marissa?"
"No. She didn't say anything to me. Kayla, | am fine." Marissa tried to reassure Kayla, but inside, she felt secretly
pleased, thinking, 'This foolish Kayla finally stood up for me."
Diana genuinely looked down on Marissa. She thought, 'l really don't understand. Is the Vanderbilt family full of
fools? How could they allow such a hypocritical woman to stay by Dominick's side?’ However, Diana knew that
this was their business and she couldn't interfere.
"Marissa, don't be afraid. If you're bullied, just tell me, and I'll help you," Kayla said loyally. In her eyes, Marissa
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas kind, gentle, and easy to talk to. Otherwise, Marissa wouldn't have been so badly harmed by Paisley, nearly
suffering death from an allergic reaction.
Diana knew that Kayla was certain that she had bullied Marissa, and Kayla was willing to defend Marissa. So,
Diana turned her head and looked at Marissa with a half-smile. "That's right, Marissa. Tell her how | bullied you."
"Yes, Marissa, say it," Evelyn also urged.
Marissa pressed her lips together, unable to speak, but she had already cursed Kayla countless times in her
heart.
Marissa had only wanted Kayla to back her up, to let Diana know that she was important to the Vanderbilt family.
But Kayla was too foolish to understand Marissa's intentions and even made Marissa voice her grievances.
Marissa thought, 'What can | say? Should | tell Kayla that Diana mockedfor living in the Vanderbilt family
without any status? How could | say something like that?"
"Kayla, I'm really fine." Helpless, Marissa could only endure it and smiled at Kayla, "I just expressed my thanks to
Mrs. Beaumont. They gave us these two seats."
After that, the anger on Kayla's face finally disappeared. She then smiled apologetically at Diana, which showed
her etiquette. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Beaumont. | was being rash. Thank you for giving us your seats." Kayla was
beautiful, and her smile was sweet.
Diana couldn't be bothered to argue with Kayla and turned her eyes back to the stage.
At this point, the auction had already begun, and the host was explaining the first item for auction, an abstract
sculpture made by a contemporary abstract artist, with a starting price of 30 thousand dollars. Due to the
sculpture's extremely weird posture, despite the host and auctioneer praising it for all their efforts, no one
participated in the bidding, and it ultimately went unsold.
"How could they have the nerve to put such an ugly thing up for auction?" Kayla complained softly to Marissa.
She wasn't interested in the other items and was only waiting for Nion's oil painting to cup. Thinking about
it, Kayla looked in Diana's direction. "Mrs. Beaumont, any items you're interested in?" Kayla was determined to
get Nion's painting, but there were quite a few people at the venue who wanted that painting as well. Kayla
could ignore the others because they couldn't compete with her financially, but Diana was different.
Diana thought for a moment and said, "Nothing particular." She had looked at the auction item descriptions in
advance and didn't find anything she particularly liked. However, for the sake of charity, she planned to bid on a
few items tonight.
"If I had to none, it would be that oil painting. It really is beautiful, and it would look nice hanging in the
reception room," Diana added. "But that item is later in the auction, so | estimate I'll have to wait a while."
Upon hearing this, Kayla immediately becalert. "So you also like Mr. Vaire's painting? I'm a fan of Mr. Vaire. |
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmchere today just for that painting."
