Chapter 374
At that moment, Cherise was still enjoying the pastries from the buffet table. She was eating gracefully, with elegance and proper manners,
“You should try this one, and this, and this too. They’re all delicious, Jean said, watching Cherise eat slowly, finding it very pleasing to the eye.
At Jean’s age, she was very outspoken and had a carefree attitude often forgetting things. Just like what Yulia and Yulia had. told her a few days ago, it was already out of her mind.
Amy, the young lady from a prominent family, was leisurely approaching them with a glass of red wine in her hand. She spoke in a sweet voice. “Jean.”
Upon hearing the voice, Jean turned around, “Oh, Amy, are you here to get some food too?”
Amy smiled warmly. I’m actually here to meet Ms. Leach, Cherise, Professor Leach, Ms. Leach, may I have the honor to toast with you and become friends?”
Cherise faced away from her, raising an eyebrow.
She thought, ‘She used three titles for me, except Mrs. Chivers. Everyone knew I was brought by Morris. That’s an interesting way to address me.
She turned around slowly, with a mysterious smile. She looked stunning, her smile captivating.
Many people around were stunned, even Amy; standing right in front of her, was briefly surprised.
Quickly averting her gaze to hide her attention, Amy returned to her senses and looked at Cherise again. “Ms. Leach, would you be interested in having a drink with me?
Cherise was about a head taller than her. She looked down with a mocking smile and said, “Definitely not interested?” She spoke loudly enough for nearly everyone around to hear.
Some people were whispering, “Isn’t that just rude?”
“Yeah, it’s the holiday season. What’s wrong with having a drink and having a good time?”
“Mr. Chivers‘ wife really isn’t very considerate.”
“Or rather, she’s downright rude. This is the Jarrett residence. Doesn’t she know basic social etiquette?”
“This is going to be interesting to watch.”
Amy raised her head high and looked at her. “You…”
Her words suddenly got stuck in her throat, but that was exactly the effect she wanted.
After composing herself, she said somewhat sadly, “Mrs. Chivers is it that I’m not good enough to have a drink with you?
I know, you’re the wife of Mr. Morris Chivers, the richest man level as you.
Clusia. I’m just a diplomat’s daughter, not on the same
“At first, I thought you were very kind and easy to get along with so I wanted to come over to offer you a toast and make a friend. I didn’t expect this. Alright, I’m not good enough, and lust leave then.”
As she said this, she prepared to leave.

Not far away, Yulia, looking çalm, clinked glasses with Lisa, took small sip and watched the two people still negotiating up
ahead
Jean was like Mary. Neither of them liked being the mediator. “Hey, wait a sec, Amy. Hold on.”
After stopping Amy, she turned to Cherise, saying, “Come on, sis–in–law, can you do me a favor?
“Let’s just make some friends. It’s rare to have so many people come to the courtyard today, so let’s keep it pleasant. If you really don’t want to drink, a handshake will do. How about that?
The noise caught the attention of Mary, who was chatting with a few other women nearby. Slowly, everyone began making their way over.
Hearing Jean’s suggestion, Amy smiled and stepped forward. “Since Jean put it that way. If Mrs. Chivers really doesn’t want to drink, then let’s just shake hands. Just for Jean, alright?”
Amy had a knack for creating conflict, shifting everyone’s attention to Jean. This made everyone even more focused on what was happening.
Cherise just stood there quietly watching her. Amy glanced around with a pleasant smile and reached out, moving closer to
Cherise.
But Cherise didn’t reach out her hand. She had absolutely no intention to.
Unexpectedly, Amy made a sneaky move. When Jean wasn’t paying attention, she moved closer to Cherise.
In the next instant, Amy let out a scream as she crashed into the wine pyramid. Everything on the buffet table collapsed to the floor. Her white dress was now terribly stained with red wine
“What’s going on here? How did things turn out like this while I was away chatting? How did everything get destroyed? Mary happened to walk over, looking at the mess with both confusion and displeasure.
Jean had just turned around to chat with someone, and somehow, in just a few seconds, Amy ended up on the floor. And the food, the wine tower, everything she had carefully prepared was ruined.
“Hey, Amy, are you okay?” Jean quickly squatted down and helped Amy up..
Lisa rushed over, looking shocked. ‘Oh no, Amy, what happened You were just fine a moment ago! How did you end up in such a mess?
“Now your clothes are all wet, you can’t wear them, and there’s broken glass everywhere. What if you get hurt?”
