Kara stood in front of the mirror, looking at the fuzzy makeup on the corner of her mouth, and felt terrible.
Kara didn’t know how to put on makeup well, but she had to wear makeup when attending this kind of banquet. She could only find Zoie to style her up.
Zoie was afraid that Kara would get fuzzy makeup, so she taught Kara a couple of skills to touch up makeup. However, Kara had never practiced it. No wonder she was a little flustered.
Kara took out the air cushion and started touching up makeup. She also applied a layer of lipstick on her lips. Making sure that she did it correctly, Kara revealed a smiley face in the mirror.
A figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. Kara was surprised.
‘This woman looked very familiar,’ Kara thought. Then, she put on a sweet smile and revealed a mischievous look.
“Wow, your lipstick color is beautiful. What brand is it?”
Using the way Zoie taught her to greet this woman and exaggerating the beauty of her lipstick color, was correct.
Alena heard someone praising her and proudly raised her chin, “Of course. This lipstick is a limited edition worldwide.”
Kara didn’t know what to say.
Kara didn’t know much about lipsticks, so she had no idea what the difference between a limited edition and a regular version was.
Alena looked at Kara who was staring at her.
The more she looked at Kara, the more she felt that they had met somewhere before. Alena frowned.
“Hello, I am Kara, James’s fiancée.” Kara revealed a smile.
“Are you James’s fiancée?” Alena shouted.
‘No wonder she looked so harmful. She was exactly that shameless ugly woman!
She snatched Kathleen’s fiance and became James’ fiancée. Afterward, she behaved like a princess.’ Alena thought.
Alena felt more disgusting about Kara.
“May I ask who you are?” Kara asked despite knowing the answer.
“You are not qualified to know my name. Ugly woman, you are blocking my view of the mirror.”
Kara was not surprised when Alena pushed her away. It proved that Alena was hot-tempered, which was good for Kara.
A plan of breaking Quentin’s cooperation appeared in Kara’s mind, but she was not sure if it would succeed.
However, she would like to have a shot.
Kara walked to the side and crossed her arms. She glanced at Alena who was neatly fixing her makeup. Then, Kara stared at the ring on her finger and said,
“Miss, your lipstick is a beautiful color and you are beautiful, but I’m sorry. Why haven’t you got a boyfriend yet?”
“Ugly woman, you…”
How could Alena not understand Kara’s sarcasm? She gritted her teeth angrily.
“I’m only 18 and I’m engaged. You’re not young anymore, are you? Why don’t you get a boyfriend and live a happy life instead of fantasizing about someone else’s fiance?”
“Miss, aren’t you afraid that no man will marry you and you will be alone for the rest of your life?”
Kara said in an extremely mocking tone and deliberately provoked Alena.
“Kara, shut up! Who do you think you are? How dare you say that to me? You are James’ fiancée, not his wife yet. It’s still uncertain whether you will get married or not!”
Alena was so angry that she wanted to strangle Kara when she heard Kara’s curse.
“Yeah, that’s true. However, he is my man now. I can kiss him, hug him, and do whatever I want with him. But other women can’t!”
Alena was too angry to speak.
She even wanted to shove the lipstick into Kara’s mouth.
‘Sure enough, Kara is a slut. If not, how could she say something so disgusting?’ Alena thought.
“Are you not convinced? If you have the ability, compete with me. Let’s see who will be the winner!”
Kara forced herself to maintain the aura, and the corners of her lips curled up provocatively. She gave Alena a disdainful sneer and left the restroom.
If she continued acting, she would be exposed.
“Ugly woman, stop right there!”
This woman had gone too far in bullying her!
Alena felt that her lungs were about to explode. Today, she would not let her go.
Seeing Alena was catching her up, Kara was nervous and quickened her pace.
Alena grabbed Kara’s arm to stop Kara from leaving. Kara took a deep breath, turned her head, and said in a mocking tone,
“I stopped. So what? Do you want to hit me? If you do, you will be a savage woman in James’s eyes. To make a good impression on James, you’d better let me go!”
Alena let Kara go angrily. She glared at Kara coldly, with a gloomy face.
“Kara, you are so arrogant!”
Kara nodded. “I am now James’s fiancée, so I have the quality to be arrogant. You can only be jealous.”
“You…”
Alena could not bear it anymore. She lifted her arm and wanted to slap Kara.
Kara was afraid that Alena would hit her. So, she used her full strength to pinch Alena’s wrist and pushed her away.
“You’re just like that. Fighting can’t prove how great you are. Dare you compete with me in the auction?”
“You overestimate yourself!”
Alena sneered and was about to leave. She deliberately walked past Kara and bumped on her shoulder.
Kara rubbed her shoulder. It really hurt.
“What’s going on?”
James came over to help rub her shoulder.
James heard the quarrel from afar and saw that Alena wanted to hit Kara. He wanted to come over and help but found that Kara winked at him.
The tacit understanding between them made him stop and wait to watch the play.
“It’s fine. James, I’ve thought of a method.” Kara happily held James’ arm.
“What method? Let someone hit you?”
James said in a cold tone and rubbed her arm, feeling a bit distressed.
Kara hooked her finger at him. When James lowered his head, Kara whispered in his ear.
They heard the bell ringing in the hall. It was a reminder that the auction was about to begin. James held Kara’s hand and walked out of the hall.
“Uncle Nolan, is there any enemy of the Barlow family here? I mean some woman who has a bad relationship with Alena.”
Nolan raised his eyebrows. He was not quite aware of the matters among the socialites in NK City, but he could check it.
Two minutes later, he found such a woman. Her name was Cadence Orton.
Cadence was Alena’s sworn enemy because her fiance loved Alena and confessed to Alena but was refused. After that, he got engaged to Cadence.
So, Cadence regarded Alena as her eyesore. Meanwhile, Alena was also a restless person. She knew that man was already engaged, but she still deliberately hooked up with him, which made Cadence very angry.
Naturally, when Cadence and Alena were on the same occasion, they battled with each other easily.
In the direction that Nolan pointed at, Kara saw a woman in a purple-blue dress. The woman was ordinary-looking, but her smile was calm and elegant.
“James, let’s sit next to that woman!”
Nolan was speechless.
James cast a cold glance at Kara. He looked unfriendly but didn’t refuse. Holding Kara’s hand, James walked to the seat next to Cadence.
When Cadence saw James sitting next to her, she hardly believed it and covered her mouth in surprise.
“Mr. … Mr. James, hello.”
Cadence was too excited to speak clearly.
Being polite, James nodded as a form of greeting.
Alena was working with the organizers to arrange for her to sit next to James. To her surprise, Alena saw from a distance that James was sitting next to Cadence. She was stomping in anger.
Quentin, who was about to find a seat to sit down, was a little surprised when he saw James coming.
Quentin walked over to greet James, but James ignored him directly. Quentin was so embarrassed that he turned to leave.
The auction began. Kara had no idea what auction items had been prepared before. Anyway, as long as it was an auction item that Quentin was especially concerned about, she would raise her card.
Nolan, who was sitting at the side, saw that Kara wanted to join in on the fun for each auction item. He thought that Kara was just curious and had fun holding it up.
Afterward, Kara had raised her card too many times. Nolan thought that Kara had gone too far.
