“Days in detention didn’t make you any smarter, did they? How can the Edwards family tolerate someone as dim as you?”
“Ah, my apologies.” Hannah smirked at Sadie.
“I forgot. The Edwards family is naturally full of dimwits who enjoy public humiliation.”
Sadie was visibly boiling, about to lose her composure. But considering they were among Valmere’s high society, she held her tongue.
“Hannah, who did you just call a dimwit?” Just then, Eliana walked over, wine glass in hand, gracing Hannah with a smile.
“Sadie, your mother is looking for you. Miss Moore, we won’t impose on you any further.”
Grudgingly, Sadie walked away with Eliana, muttering under her breath, “Bitch! She’ll get what’s coming to her!”
At that moment, Sadie’s gaze landed on a passing waitress, igniting an idea.
“Hold on, Eliana. I need to blow off some steam! I can’t let this slide!”
No sooner had the waitress served wine to Hannah and her companions than she appeared to stumble, dousing Hannah’s dress with red wine.
“Hannah!” Grace exclaimed.

The waitress looked flustered as she hurriedly offered tissues to wipe Hannah’s dress.
Alas, Hannah was wearing a pristine white satin gown, making the red wine stains all the more conspicuous.
Standing at a distance with her arms folded, Sadie remarked, “Looks like you’ve ruined that fancy dress you borrowed. Can you afford the compensation?”
“Sadie Edwards, don’t you think you’re going too far!” Lydia retorted icily.
“You purposefully caused the waitress to trip, didn’t you?”
With an expression of feigned surprise, Sadie replied, “Why bring me into this? I didn’t even complain about her stepping on my foot.
Hannah’s just unlucky, that’s all.”
“You…” Lydia fumed.
Hannah restrained her friend, who was ready to go another round with Sadie.
“Don’t waste your words on her. Every moment spent talking to her cheapens us.”
Witnessing the wine stain grow on Hannah’s dress, Grace swiftly grasped her hand.
“There are extra dresses upstairs, Hannah. Let’s go change you out of this mess.”
“Sounds good.” Hannah nodded gently.
