Chapter 82: Chapter 82: A Toad Lusting After a Swan
"What’s wrong with this dress?" With a sullen face, Jade Lockwood looked unhappily at the person beside her.
The person dared not utter a word and walked to the side, avoiding further comments.
Jade’s gaze darkened slightly; she hadn’t expected to see Nora Northwood at such an occasion, and she certainly hadn’t expected to have a dress clash with her.
The frustrating part was that Nora looked even more sexy and beautiful in the dress. Jade herself had to admit this fact.
The occasional glances from people around her made her mood worse.
"Look over there, it seems President Sinclair has arrived." Someone said, and her attention was immediately drawn.
Watching Jasper Sinclair, who walked into the venue with a stern face surrounded by bodyguards.
That handsome face made her heart flutter unconsciously. Adjusting her breath to ensure she was in the best state, she swayed her hips and walked over.
"Mr. Sinclair, I’m Jade Lockwood from the Lockwood Family." She pinched her voice, deliberately making it sound sweet.
She stepped forward, wanting to shake hands or have some close contact with him.
But Jasper just frowned, glanced her over from top to bottom, and just when Jade thought Jasper was interested in her, she heard him say, "Trying too hard."
She was stunned in place, unaware of when he left.
Her face flushed red; she felt utterly humiliated. How could this man be so merciless with his words?
"Trying too hard?" So Jasper saw that bitch too? Does he think she looks better than me?
At this point, Nora Northwood followed the sound and came over. Was it her illusion? She seemed to have heard Mr. Sinclair’s voice earlier.
As she walked closer, she overheard people saying that the head of the Sinclair Family had also arrived. She glanced over, and the figure indeed resembled Mr. Sinclair.
Wanting to get closer to take a better look, she suddenly felt a bit nervous.
As she walked further on, she was stopped: "What, dreaming of reaching the stars? Don’t think that a compliment from President Sinclair lets you rise to the top."
Jade Lockwood was furious whenever she looked at Nora Northwood, especially with that red dress, it was an eyesore.
Spoiled from birth and with the Lockwood Family’s considerable influence, people around felt she shouldn’t bully Nora, but no one stepped forward to help, merely feeling sorry for Nora in their hearts.
Frowning at the woman before her: "So you’ve seen what President Sinclair looks like?"
She didn’t take the nasty remarks to heart; she only wanted to know if Mr. Sinclair was indeed President Sinclair of the Sinclair Family.
If not, how could the voice and figure be so similar?
But Jade misunderstood her intentions: "Of course, our families’ parents have all met, you must have read too many novels to think there’s a Cinderella and prince story. I tell you; princes belong to princesses, fool!"
Her words caused a misunderstanding among the attendees.
Their parents have met? President Sinclair’s parents passed away years ago, if they’ve met, couldn’t they be childhood sweethearts? Were they engaged since childhood?
The media reporters present were frenzied, this was big news, the Sinclair and Lockwood Families were about to have a good event.
They could guarantee that as soon as this news was released, it would become a hot topic!
Plus, with the drama unfolding between the two women in front, their hearts were racing with excitement.
"So does President Sinclair live in Southwood Court?" Nora urgently wanted to know, looking at Jade made her gnash her teeth.
