Chapter 83 The Dance Slaps in the Face(1)
Taylor glanced at the text message, turned off the phone screen, and threw the phone into the pocket of her suit again. When she looked up again, she found that Alice Jones had already looked at her. Alice exaggeratedly said,”Hi, Laura, why isn’t your cousin wearing a dress? Doesn’t she dance?”
Taylor was wearing a pair of trousers, which was a subtle rejection.
All the rich and powerful families had to save face. They usually stopped when appropriate, and would not expose others’faces.
Alice Jones’s words were far too direct.
Taylor’s face darkened. Before she could say anything, Laura said,”We’re not going to dance today.”
“Why?”Alice asked even though she knew the answer.”Are you not going to dance when Andy is gone? Should I lend him to you to dance?”
Alice pushed Andy.
Laura subconsciously looked over at Andy Brown.
The man in the black tuxedo looked like a gentleman, but his eyes dared not meet hers.
Andy Brown was pushed forward by Alice Jones. He took a step back automatically. He stood beside Alice and said,”Alice, we agreed tonight that I will be your dancing partner. What will you do if I dance with Laura?”
Alice Jones lifted her chin slightly.”It’s okay, all men have the right to choose. Between her and me, can you choose one?”
After that, she lowered her eyes and smiled.”Laura and I are cousins. We are families. No matter who you choose, the other party will not be angry. Laura, am I right?”
Andy Brown cautiously looked over at Laura.
The fawning look in his eyes used to make Laura’s heart ache. Andy was talented, but he had been looked down upon because of his family background.
And every time Andy made her angry, she would feel softhearted whenever he looked at her with this kind of look.
But at this moment, Laura just felt disgusted.
Laura looked away and said,”I…”
Before she could finish her words, Taylor interrupted her coldly.”No need. She has a dance partner.”
“A dance partner?”Alice Jones looked around.”Then who is it? Why didn’t you bring him out for us to see?”
Taylor lowered her eyes and said with a faint smile,”You’ll know when the ball starts. Why are you in such a hurry? Oh, I see. Don’t worry. The person that Laura doesn’t want will never be taken back.”
Alice Jones:!!
Originally, she planned to humiliate Laura Williams, but now Taylor’s words only made her angry!
After Taylor finished speaking, she took Laura in the opposite direction, not giving Alice a chance to speak.
Alice Jones stood in place, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes. But she quickly adjusted her expression, took Andy’s arm, and said to him,”Dance well later. I want everyone to see that Laura Williams is nothing without you!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Except for Ms. Green, Laura Williams was always the most eye-catching person in the ball in previous years.
Ms. Green was from the Green family, so it was natural for Alice to be better than her. But what right did Laura Williams have? Wasn’t it because she had hooked up with a good boyfriend!
This year, without Andy to lead her, Alice wanted to see what Laura could do!
Taylor found a corner, sat down on the sofa, and leaned against it.
She wanted to tell Laura not to worry and that she would find a dance partner for her. But Laura was lowering her head and seriously texting:[Where are you, Edgar? We agreed to meet at the party tonight. Will you come?]
Laura remembered clearly how Taylor couldn’t find a partner in the dance studio last time.
This was why she had specially called Edgar for this party. If her cousin Taylor wanted to dance, she would have a dance partner.
When going out, she saw that Taylor had worn her pants, so she didn’t urge Edgar, but now she wanted Edgar to be her own dancing partner.
But Edgar did not reply after sending the message.
So, Laura picked up her phone and called Edgar. After a long while, Edgar picked up, but his voice was full of exhaustion.”What are you doing?”
Laura was a little surprised,”You haven’t arrived yet?”
“… We’re almost there.”
With those words, someone on the other side seemed to be talking. Laura only heard the words’repaying debts’and’how to run’before Edgar hung up the phone.
Sensing that Laura didn’t look well, Taylor asked,”What’s wrong?”
Laura looked at Taylor.
The girl in front of her came from Rheinsville City. Laura’s mother said that Taylor had a poor family background and lacked knowledge and experience, so her mother asked her to take more care of this girl. However, Taylor’s almond-shaped eyes were down and she seemed to be uninterested in everything she did. She looked sleepy all day long, but it made people feel at ease.
Laura said,”Something seems to have happened to Edgar.”
“Oh, let me take a look.”
After replying, Taylor just lowered her head and played on her phone.
Laura:??
If it was anyone else, she might have thought that the girl was a little cold-blooded. But if it was Taylor… Laura leaned closer to her and saw that her mobile phone was dark.
There was only a red dot moving.
As she was hesitating, Taylor said,”It should be fine. Edgar is already at the ball.”
As if to prove the truth of her words, Edgar Williams had practically appeared around the corner as soon as she finished speaking.
His face was a little pale, and he was a little lame when he walked. His face, which was usually cold, was now even colder. There was impatience between his eyebrows, and his whole body was full of indifference.
Laura stood up and asked,”What’s wrong with you?”
Edgar glanced at her.”It’s fine, I just sprained my ankle.”
“…”
Laura was about to say something when Alice Jones’s annoying voice rang out once more.”Laura, your dance partner is Edgar, right? Did he sprain his ankle?”
Her voice was a little loud, and the people around looked at them again.
The manservant next to Alice Jones added,”Not early or late, but now he was on tiptoe. Tsk, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to dance. You don’t have to find so many excuses… In fact, without Andy, your dancing is very ordinary!”
Alice Jones frowned.”Don’t say that. How can Laura be afraid?… She often says that she is just interested in dancing, not making a living.”
The attendant continued to ridicule,”Of course not. How can she compare to you, Alice? In the past, it was only Andy Brown who added points to her. You danced better than her, but you were just pulled down by your male partner.”
“But this year, it’s finally over. You and Andy Brown are going to dance together. The dancing king tonight will definitely be you, Alice! Laura, if you’re afraid, then just admit defeat. Why are you putting on such airs? Isn’t the ball supposed to be just a dance?”
Laura was so angry that her hands were trembling.
Edgar’s face was as cold as ice.
He endured the discomfort on his ankle and said coldly,”Who said she doesn’t dance?”
