Claire rcer stared at Scarlett Jewel, her gaze icy.
Scarlett felt her stare and looked over.
A flicker of surprise crossed Scarlett Jewel’s face before her red lips curved into a smirk.
She strutted toward Claire rcer like a proud peacock, her high heels clicking.
"Claire rcer, don’t tell you’re planning on entering this modeling competition?"
"With a figure like yours, I doubt any designer would pick you."
"And even if so designer with no taste did pick you, I’m sure you’d just drag them down."
Claire rcer didn’t get angry at the blatant taunts.
Instead, she stood up, a bright smile gracing her lips.
Standing before Scarlett Jewel, she looked down on her.
She was five-foot-seven, after all.
Towering over Scarlett Jewel, who was only five-foot-three, she now looked incredibly imposing.
Her smile grew wider and brighter as she addressed the other trainees in the lounge.
"I’d like to introduce everyone to the rcer family’s true heiress, Scarlett Jewel."
So trainees stared at Scarlett Jewel, unable to hide the envy on their faces.
"So she’s the rcer heiress. No wonder she has such a refined air."
"Yeah, the mont she walked in, I could tell she was soone important."
"She’s a true blue-blood. Every move she makes exudes nobility."
"..."
Hearing so of the trainees sucking up to Scarlett Jewel, Claire rcer’s smile grew even more brilliant.
anwhile, Scarlett Jewel lifted her chin and puffed out her chest, adopting an air of utter disdain.
’This ’rcer heiress’ title is so much more glamorous than being so obscure commoner.’
She basked in the complints from these lowly commoners, feeling incredibly smug.
But her smugness lasted barely two seconds before she heard Claire rcer continue in a calm, unhurried tone.
"Not only is she the rcer family’s heiress, but she was also Gavin Sinclair’s mistress."
As soon as these words were spoken, Scarlett Jewel’s smug smile froze on her face.
Her eyes widened in anger, and she snarled at Claire rcer.
"Claire rcer, you..."
Claire rcer ignored Scarlett Jewel, who was now livid with rage.
She continued her introduction to the trainees in the lounge.
"The Sinclair and rcer families were in the news a few days ago. I wonder if any of you saw it."
"One of the key figures involved was none other than the infamous ’mistress extraordinaire,’ Miss Jewel here."
The room erupted in gasps.
Just a mont ago, they had thought her luxurious clothes and arrogant deanor ant she was of high status.
Now, hearing that she was the infamous mistress who had been all over the web a few days ago, their gazes shifted.
So trainees who had read the gossip started whispering among themselves.
"Huh? She’s that mistress?"
"What’s the use of dressing so glamorously? She’s still just soone’s mistress."
"No way, she looks so different from her photos."
"If no one had pointed her out, I never would have guessed it was the sa person."
"Those photos must have been heavily filtered. She looks nothing like them in person."
"..."
Claire rcer quickly stepped in to control the situation.
"Now, now, don’t say that about her. After all, plastic surgery is nothing special these days."
"Besides, if she hadn’t invested a little in her face to make herself prettier..."
"...what right would she have to be the mistress of the heir to Rhonia’s wealthiest man?"
"What’s wrong with being a mistress to make so money?"
"A little sha is nothing compared to money, right, Miss Jewel?"
Scarlett Jewel was already trembling all over from Claire rcer’s passive-aggressive remarks.
"Claire rcer, you..."
’She couldn’t believe this bitch Claire rcer would dare to expose her dirty laundry in public.’
’This was sothing she’d been desperately trying to hide.’
’She knew that mistresses have never been well-regarded.’
’That’s why she’d been desperately trying to cover it up, to keep anyone from finding out about her sordid past.’
’But Claire had just so casually ripped away her last shred of dignity, humiliating her in front of everyone.’
’She was so furious she could barely breathe.’
’If there weren’t so many people around, she would have started screaming curses at her.’
Seeing she was too angry to even utter a word of rebuttal, soone started to stand up for her.
"Miss rcer, do you think it’s right to expose soone’s shortcomings like this?"
"We’re all won here. Why can’t you be a little more forgiving?"
"Why must won make things difficult for other won? Besides, even if Miss Jewel was a mistress, wasn’t the young master of the Sinclair family also at fault?"
"Why do you have to pin all the bla on one defenseless woman?"
"Don’t you think what you’re doing is really low?"
The one speaking was the girl who had been surrounded by others just a mont ago.
’She had a feeling Scarlett Jewel wouldn’t co to a modeling workshop for no reason.’
’Besides, Scarlett Jewel was still a rcer heiress, a station far above their own.’
’On top of that, there were rumors online that the eldest young master of the Sinclair family was going to marry her.’
’Once she marries into the Sinclair family, she’ll be Mrs. Sterling.’
’The connections and resources she’d have would be beyond anything commoners like them could imagine.’
’If I could befriend her and use her to get into high society, I could et more rich heirs.’
’Wouldn’t my own dream of marrying into a wealthy family be just around the corner?’
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Scarlett Jewel noticed her.
"What’s your na?" she asked.
The girl replied with barely concealed excitent, "My na is Lily Dalton."
Scarlett Jewel looked Lily Dalton up and down with narrowed eyes.
"You’re not bad-looking, and you have a good figure. Are you a model in training here?"
Lily Dalton nodded. "Yes."
"Alright." Scarlett Jewel pointed a finger at her. "You’ll do."
"Huh?"
’What does she an?’
Lily Dalton was a bit confused.
"I’m entering the competition hosted by CZ Group as a designer."
"I ca today to choose my model partner."
"I like the look of you. Are you willing to be my partner and compete with ?"
How could Lily Dalton possibly refuse?
’Of course she was willing! A hundred tis over.’
Suppressing her inner ecstasy, she nodded with a semblance of calm.
"As long as Miss Jewel..."
Scarlett Jewel frowned, correcting her with displeasure.
"Rember, I’m Miss rcer."
"Yes, yes, of course." Lily Dalton imdiately bowed and scraped.
"As long as you don’t find lacking, Miss rcer, I’m willing to be your model partner."
"Fine. Let’s exchange contact information for now. My assistant will contact you later."
Lily Dalton imdiately took out her phone and asked cautiously,
"Miss Jew... uh, Miss rcer, should I scan your code?"
Scarlett Jewel shot her an annoyed glance. "I’ll scan yours."
"Okay. Okay."
After the two exchanged contact information in front of everyone, Scarlett Jewel didn’t linger.
After all, most of the won in the lounge were hostile toward mistresses.
She didn’t want to stay here and endure everyone’s strange looks.
After Scarlett Jewel left, Roxanne Peyton couldn’t help but complain.
"Look at how smug she is. It’s like being a mistress has given her a superiority complex."
Claire rcer originally had no intention of making an enemy of Lily Dalton.
However, Lily had chosen to beco Scarlett Jewel’s partner model.
Therefore, it was impossible for the two of them to remain on friendly terms.
So she said with a scornful smile, "And this Miss Dalton, I suppose she’s the sa type of person as Scarlett Jewel."
"After all, it takes a mistress to sympathize with a mistress."
"Unlike law-abiding good citizens like us, who despise mistresses."
Roxanne Peyton imdiately agreed. "Well, her bootlicking certainly paid off, didn’t it?"
"Did you see how she was fawning all over her? Just rushing to suck up to a mistress."
