Seraphina was also present at tonight's charity gala.

She glared at me with a face full of anger and hatred.

I guess she was still furious about the last time when I countered her attack with those bedroom photos.

Or maybe it's because Henry Smith didn't celebrate her birthday, so she harbored even more resentment towards me.

I couldn't be bothered to deal with her. I walked straight to where my parents were and chatted with them about everyday matters.

My mom hugged me lovingly, "Why have you lost weight again? Is Henry bullying you?"

"No, lately I've been the one giving him a hard time."

Just as I finished speaking, Henry Smith came over to exchange pleasantries with my parents.

I had been bitten pretty badly by him in the office this afternoon, so I really didn't want to spend more time with him right now.

I made up an excuse to leave the ballroom, "Mom, I'm going to wash my hands. You guys keep chatting."
