Millionaire In Love With Me

Chapter 249 Good Move



“Yeah, Vivian came from the countryside and it is sure that she can’t dance.”

“Oh, she is a country bumpkin after all. If it wasn’t for the good fortune of saving Mr. Morris and Madame Cheal, I wonder where she’d be street vending now.”

“That is right.”

“How can she even be good enough to mingle in high society if she can’t even dance?”

“Look at her, she really looks like a refugee back from the desert, useless.”

Some of the people gathered around and spoke very harshly.

Vivian listened to the people’s harsh words, oblivious to them.

If she lived every day under the gaze of others, she would only be tired.

Eventually, dozens of eyes shot over, and she still propped her elbows on the table in a taciturn manner, her hands resting on her cheeks, her right hand holding a fork and forking a piece of glutinous rice cake, chewing it slowly.

Blinking with a pair of big watery eyes, she looked at Mike, “Uncle Mike, is the set of jewelry items from that what they said about Figge Jewelry expensive?”

Everyone was waiting to see Vivian’s embarrassed look, but she was just calm and collected.

“Pfft … she is really greedy and money worshiper.”

“Isn’t it embarrassment to ask so that?”

“Figge Jewelry is a branch of the Stewart Group, and with Miss Stewart in charge, she is generous.”

“Hillbilly.”

Mostly because Morris was not there at the moment, and because Mike had been out of the country for many years, many people were not very familiar with him.

They then spoke extra harshly to Vivian, as if they were trying to embarrass her in a different way.

Listening to the words, Vivian realized with hindsight that this was not bad luck, but it was clearly that woman Sue who was deliberately trying to fool her.

Mike shook his head, “This is a difficult question for me.”

Mike was telling Vivian that he didn’t know how much the jewelry was worth either.

“If it’s not worth much money, I will quit.” Vivian said aloud.

“Miss Mond, you are new to L City, so it’s reasonable that you don’t know much about Figge Jewelry. However, today’s the latest limited edition jewelry items are worth five million five hundred and eighty thousand a set. Moreover, the limited edition models will only increase in value.”

In the crowd, Sue, who had changed into a white and grey gradient-colored dress, walked out, she was as high and proud, looking at Vivian disdainfully, with provocation in her eyes.

When the necklace was auctioned off upstairs, Vivian called for a high price, but where did she get that money?

The Cheal family was going to pay for it, for sure.

Pretending to be noble would be easy to see through.

“Sue, don’t make things difficult for Vivian. I’ll do this dance for her today.”

Yoona walked out from nowhere, smiling beautiful eyes glanced at Vivian, then she said to Sue, “She happens to be a bit unwell today.”

A statement that anyone who heard it couldn’t help but praise Yoona’s ‘explanation’, which avoided embarrassment for Vivian, showing that she was a good person.

But in reality, it would also make one thing clear, that Vivian could not dance at all!

“No one minds if you’re sisterly, but the rules of the party are here. Wouldn’t you be breaking the rules and creating an injustice by dancing for her, which is tantamount to cheating?”

Yoona’s classmate, Cindy, also held a grudge against Yoona since the last time, and the relationship was naturally broken.

So Cindy said in a shady way.

Unbeknownst to them, this was exactly the result Sue and Yoona wanted.

“There are rules, if you dance for Vivian, the prize won’t go to her.” Cindy was stirring up the mess, trying to embarrass her.

For a while, Vivian became the target of all.

After all, with the benefit of being upstairs at the auction earlier, she became the shining highlight of the day’s charity gala.

Some envied her luck, some were jealous of her looks, and naturally more wanted to wait to see her jokes.

The beam of light from the lighting technician kept hitting Vivian, a powerful ‘focal point’ for all to see.

Those beside her were standing, only Vivian sat calmly, then under everyone’s burning eyes, she slowly lifted the champagne and took a sip, before raising her eyes to look at Sue, “Miss Stewart, how many lucky star rewards have been set up tonight?”

“Only two.” Sue raised her chin slightly, carrying an air of arrogance of the eldest lady of the Stewart family.

“Oh~~”

Vivian nodded and asked again in a fake ‘curious’ manner, “I haven’t been educated for long, I don’t know what ‘lucky star’ means. Can someone explain it to me?”

Sue sensed it was a trap, so she didn’t answer it at first.

But there were extremely many people waiting to see the joke, so someone said, “Since it’s a lucky star reward, of course it’s for the two luckiest groups of people today.”

As the man spoke, Vivian deliberately inclined her head and glanced towards the crowd, “Wow, that young lady is really knowledgeable.” She extended her thumb in praise.

The crowd was a bit clouded as they listened to Vivian’s words, but those with a clear eye already understood her intentions.

Then they saw Vivian slowly stand up and look at Sue with cold eyes, “Since Miss Stewart is setting up the ‘Lucky Star’ reward, then by virtue of luck, it is to let people go to the dance floor, and to follow the ‘lucky person’s wishes.”

She said, then looked at Cindy again and shook her head, “Cindy, right? It’s okay for you not be able to circle the key points, but as a human being, it’s valuable to have self-knowledge. You see, as little as I have been educated, I wouldn’t come out to show off, I would only ‘seek advice’ with an open mind. Besides, the sponsor of today’s ‘Lucky Star’ is Figge Jewelry under the Stewart, and the CEO of Figge Jewelry is Stewart, so the right to explain the event should also be hers.”

“You stand out with yelling, those who don’t know will think you’re Miss Stewart.”

“Besides, what’s the point of Finger Jewelry’s sponsorship of jewelry? It’s the publicity! If your unreliable ‘explanation’ was spread, others will think Miss Stewart can’t afford to give the rewards. Isn’t this inviting disgrace to the Stewart Group?”

Vivian gave a speech, then shook her head with a sigh, “Alas, Miss Cindy, if you language teacher knows that you are so bad at circling the focus, I am afraid he will be angry. By the way, which school did you graduate from? Tsk tsk, you must cheat in school performance, didn’t you?”

“You …”

Cindy just wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Vivian, but she never expected Vivian to speak so harshly and made her speechless.

She stammered and stomped her foot in anger, finally uttering, “Vivian, you’re talking so much nonsense, you just don’t want to dance. To put it bluntly, you’re just a girl from the countryside who doesn’t know how to dance at all, that’s why you’re making so many excuses.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
