From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229

“Lydia, you’re too kind to her.” Wenne came back to her senses. “People like her only learn ter getting taught a lesson. Why bother warning her

She glared at Emily with rage.

For a second, she felt like she was back a few years ago, with Emily always pushing her around. She hated thist feeling.

As soon as Yvonne spoke, her crew quickly backed her up.

“Exactly. She never learns until she takes hits”

“How dare she cause trouble even in a place like this? Does she still think she’s the beloved Bennett heiress?”

“She’s always been at odds with Wonne. Now she must be even more jealous, which is why she sneaked into the benefit dinner.”

“So what? Yvonne is long out of her league now. I heard the Windrose heir has always liked Yvonne. Handing the benefit dinner to the Zwick family must be his doing.

People were all praising Yvonne nonstop, and she was so caught up in the compliments that she forgot how nervous and worried she was when she saw Emily a moment before.

No one noticed that Lydia, who had sparked the whole conversation, had quietly slipped away from the center of the crowd. She stood aside, ayes shining with excitement as she watched everyone call out Emily.

She knew that if she wanted to stir up trouble for Emily, the smartest move was to let Yvonne do it for her.

She thought. “Let it get messy. The more people hate Emily, the better it is for me

While Lydia was trying to hold back her excitement, she suddenly caught someone staring at her with a stern look. It was Austin.

Lydia froze, her heart tightening for no reason, and she looked away without thinking. Every time she saw Austin, a nameless fear crept over her

No matter what tricks she tried, he never fell for them. It was as if he saw through her secrets. Even her most covert tactics proved useless.

Austin had been watching Lydia the whole time, so he noticed right away her guilty look and how her fingers nervously fidgeted.

Whether it was when she suddenly stopped him and Emily earlier, or when she subtly steered Yvonne and the others with her words, he could see exactly what she was trying to do

However, mast people here at the benefit dinner were smart, not likely to be swayed by just a few words of hers.

Austin had a feeling that Lydia was hiding a secret, and it probably had something to do with Emily

Austin turned to look at Emily beside him, who remained unfazed by all the blame, and unconsciously stepped closer to her.

He had promised to stand firmly by Emily’s side forever, so whatever secret Lydia harbored, he would uncover it himself and ensure she would never harm Emily again.

The brief exchange of glances between Austin and Lydia went unnoticed by all, and no one knew what each was thinking.

Lily used to be close to her, but after Quigna died, she and the others were all “handled“, and Yvonne got new people around her. Should anything similar happen again, these new followers could very well end up just like Lily.

Once the accusations against her quieted down a bit, Emily said slowly, instead of just pointing fingers at me, maybe you should focus on Deale own connections.

“It’s not just people from Cloudridge’s business world here. If you get the chance to meet the right people, you’ll get way more out of it that lucking up to Yvonne. Are you sure you want to waste your time on use?”
