"Forget it, I can just ask at the party." Ariana replied with a shrug. She then grabbed Edlyn"s hand as she tried to pick up their pace. Talisha grabbed Ariana"s shoulder and gave her a shaky smile. "Sorry old habits are hard to kill.... cough, cough... for my friends I can wave certain fees." Talisha said as she pulled back her hand. "Well that is so kind of you.... I mean I don"t want to get cheated out of information especially if it"s something that can be considered as common knowledge." Ariana said with an innocent smile."Right... well the word going around says that Xander was called back home. There seems to be some trouble brewing with the Bravo family. It looks like they became a fallen n.o.ble family. Can"t really pimp your daughter out to the upper crust if you got nothing to offer." Talisha said with a wicked smile. "You"re doing it again master. Unless you want to found out put that smile away." Bacon said as he stood beside Talisha in a matching purple bowtie.
"Sh*t! I"m not gonna survive this party!" Talisha said as she started rubbing her cheeks. "So he"s being set free..." Edlyn whispered in awe. "Something like that... Usually when a catch like Xander loses a potential bride there"s always a couple of back-ups close by." Halina said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "But that"s the thing! If his family had some lucky young lady waiting in the dark to step into the light he wouldn"t be gone this long." Talisha said as she removed her hands from her face.
"So... so he"s fighting with his family!" Ariana gasped. "That"s were my money is at!" Talisha shouted. "No freaking way! You mean..." Halina gasped as she and the other girls turned to look at Edlyn. "Ooooh! This is gonna be good!" Ariana squealed. "I can see it now! Xander comes in riding on a white horse with a bouquet of roses! He desperately searches for Edlyn, he gets off his his horse and walks up to her. Grabs her hand and finally says what"s deep inside his heart!" Halina said as she fantasized the scenario. "No! You can not be pos-sib-ly... I mean he and I... that would never happen! Bring your heads down back from the clouds! We are going to be late!" Edlyn shouted as she stomped off. "I hear bells!" Ariana shouted as she chased after Edlyn causing Edlyn"s head to start steaming.
By the time the group of girls made it to the training grounds the party was well on its way. "Oh wow they really transformed this place!" Halina gasped. "I agree... wow" Talisha said. "I know it took so much time to organize everyone to decorate this place." Ariana said with a heavy sigh. "Worth it though." Edlyn said with a giant grin. Ariana puffed out her chest. It was great that she was able to drag Vera with her to the meetings. Making sure that Flint couldn"t corner her alone but now that they mentor program was over she had no idea how she would be able to survive the meetings.
"Admiring your work?" Vera asked as she walked over. "It wasn"t easy explaining my ideas." Ariana said as she and her friends turned towards Vera. "Oh wow I love your dresses!" Vera shouted to loudly causing other girls to rush over. "Thank you. If yoi would like I can pa.s.s you along my mother"s catalog." Edlyn said with a very business like smile. "Does she do shoes too?" Another girl who was close by said as she and others started to crowd around. "No unfortunately. You will need my grandfather"s catalog for that." Edlyn continued.
"Honestly there is nothing special with what those four are wearing." Vanessa arrogantly shouted to her groupies. "Miss Brenton I didn"t know you were here too." Ariana said as the crowd started to part. "Of course I am here! I am not some gauche person who shows up to a party tardy! Scheming to grab the limelight with their outfits, solicitating their tacky family business and all. To be perfectly honest I find that only pathetic families are able to who-?!" Vanessa had no chance to finish what she was saying. Ariana closed the distance between them and caught her face in between her index finger and thumb.
Her wavy hair flew upwards as she rushed forward and bounced back elegantly around her fair face when she stopped. Ariana"s eyes were nothing short of stunning, a colour that no one had every seen before, easily captivating any on lookers but today they became more murderous looking, shinning with her intentions as they stared down Vanessa Brenton. "Miss Brenton, if I could be perfectly honest, I think a young lady who can spout out defamatory words without batting an eye is the pathetic and shameless one. Making yourself seem more special then the rest. Only concerning themselves with their own little world, trying to c*ckhold anything with three legs." Ariana said loud enough for everyone to hear before she dropped her voice to a deadly whisper.
"Now listen you little piece of horse sh*t, you"re gonna apologize to Edlyn and then you"re going to be personally escorted by me tomorrow on a trip to the Abela"s shop and apologize to Mrs. Abela by ordering a number of dresses. You"re going to be polite, you"re going to compliment her work and your going to drop a lot of cash before we leave that shop. Then your going to wear every single one of those outfits and promote her shop. If I ever hear you speak badly about anyone a.s.sociated with me I will finish what I started today. Do we have an understanding?" Ariana"s dark tone caused Vanessa"s eyes to well up with tears as her face paled drastically.
"I said do we have an understanding?!" Ariana hissed. A small squeaking sound escaped Vanessa"s mouth and as she quickly nodded her head in agreement. "Good." Ariana said cheerfully as she released Vanessa"s face. Vanessa lost all the strength her body had. She quickly dropped down to her knees, body completely trembling with fear as her pale face looked up at Edlyn. "I-I-I-I-I." She started to say but Vanessa caught sight of Ariana"s deadly gaze. It was cold and daunting, she involuntarily let out another squeak. "I"m so sorry! Please forgive me!" Vanessa shouted.
"It"s alright." Edlyn said as she held her hands up in defense. "Edlyn you should really accept the young Miss Brenton"s apology. It"s not everyday that a n.o.ble can hang their head in shame." Talisha said with a sweet smile but the vein popping out above her right eyebrow was giving away her true temperament. "That"s right Edlyn, you shouldn"t be so reserved. Miss Brenton is being incredibly sincere right?" Halina asked as she put a protective arm around Edlyn. "So are you being sincere Miss Brenton?" Ariana asked as her eyes flashed with something more sinister. "Yes! Yes! Yes! I swear I deeply and sincerely apologize." Vanessa shouted as she bowed her head against the ground.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
