Debra’s POV:

I recognized the haughty tone instantly. It was Shirley.
Despite the disdainful stares from others, no one dared to mock me openly since Andrew brought me here.
The upper class valued their dignity. They’d avoid public ridicule of those they deemed beneath them.

Shirley, however, was an exception. She’d already caused me trouble twice.
She was a pampered socialite obsessed with Andrew.
I stopped collecting glasses and rose to my feet. I met Shirley’s gaze head-on. “Miss Harrison, someone bumped into me just now. Was it your doing?”

Ivy bristled with indignation. “It has to be her! Everyone else avoids us. She’s the only suspect. The nerve! If I could, I’d shred her myself!”
While anger flared within me, Ivy’s fierce loyalty soothed me.
“Don’t worry,” I whispered. “If she tries anything, I’ll handle it.”
Shirley, adorned in a pink evening gown, sauntered over with her followers. She scoffed at my question. “I’m the clan leader’s daughter. Why would I bother with a wretched mixed-blood? That would demean myself.”
Her entourage echoed her mockery. “Don’t flatter yourself. You’re not even fit to polish Shirley’s shoes. You’re beneath her notice!”
Laughter erupted from the group.

Someone covered her nose and feigned disgust. “What’s wrong with this woman? Security! How did she even get in here?”
They made quite a commotion. Many attendees at the banquet took notice of the situation and gathered around us, intrigued and curious.
Instead of fear, a surge of defiance coursed through me. They wanted a fight, and I’d give them one.
I decided to escalate things and see who ended up humiliated.
Maintaining my composure, I addressed Shirley. “Miss Harrison, your jealousy is transparent. You couldn’t handle me accompanying Andrew, so you resorted to childish tactics. That’s unbecoming of a clan leader’s daughter.”
With a hint of sarcasm, I added, “You orchestrated this scene, yet lack the courage to admit it. How disappointing.”
“Don’t you dare!” Shirley’s face contorted in fury. “Living with Andrew doesn’t make you his equal, Debra. Remember your place. You’re not good enough for him!”
Shirley’s posse mirrored her arrogance, nodding fervently and parroting her words. “Exactly! Shirley is the clan leader’s daughter, the most respected witch here. Why would she be jealous of a half-breed like you? Don’t get ahead of yourself.”
I countered with a sneer, “Then why waste your precious time antagonizing me? Don’t you have more important things to attend to?”
Shirley threw her head back arrogantly. “A reason? I simply dislike you, Debra. That’s all the explanation you deserve.”
Furious, Ivy complained, “Don’t let this bitch walk all over you! Teach her a lesson she won’t forget!”
