Chương 15: A Commotion At The Party

"Excuse me?" Anastasia questioned, a deep frown evident on her face. 

Michelle immediately intervened, "Richard, what are you saying? Is this how to talk to a guest?" She glared at him, her anger and annoyance evident in her expression. 

The last person she needed to spoil her plans was Richard, who had unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere. She knew his presence could potentially disrupt everything.

When she sniffed him, she realized he was drunk. 

'Dammit,' Michelle cursed in her thoughts. 

She looked at Selene who was still clearly annoyed by his comment earlier. 

"Please Selene, I'm sorry for the way he spoke to you. It seems he's a little drunk, that's why he's behaving like this," she immediately apologized. 

Anastasia didn't reply to her. She struggled to keep her emotions in check, feeling disappointed. She had hoped Richard would change, even just a little, but it was becoming increasingly clear that he was never going to change.
