TimeNovelFawn wondered if Selena was referring to her. Did Vespera, the young lady who resembled Mirabelle, fool her? To be fair, Fawn could only take Vespera at her word-what she overheard in the corridor and the golden mask being suspicious. But it was also true that Fawn couldn't call anyone in the banquet hall.
What was going on? Everyone was amazed. Earlier, Selena's first reading had caused Felicia to collapse to the ground in fright.
Even the contents of Selena's second reading were far too explosive. Although few knew it was Vespera under the mask, most of the crowd still had no idea. All of them were eager to see her take off her mask so they could mock her without holding back.
Rebecca was so angry that she was ready to rush forward. If Vespera was going down, everyone would as well. However, Yasmine held Rebecca back and covered her mouth. She wanted to see how things would unfold.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLater, as Rebecca recalled what happened, she realized that Yasmine, whom she considered delicate and unable to take a harsh word, was far stronger than she was.
At that point, Felicia surprisingly didn't want to see Vespera being mocked by the crowd. Perhaps that was because she had also been a victim of the fortune-telling incident earlier.
Instead, Felicia fervently hoped that Vespera would show Selena who was the boss, just like how she did when she argued with Felicia. Perhaps Vespera could take on this terrifying fortune teller.
Vespera remained very calm. She didn't seem angry or terrified as she earnestly retorted to Selena. "Everything you said isn't right. Letask you-Are all fefatales and beautiful women dangerous to men? "It sounds like you have a serious case of misogyny. Also, how am I good at wearing disguises? Am I a man who dresses up as a woman? "You also mentioned that I'm good at deceiving others. Are you saying that I lied to a woman after having a conversation with her? "Could you be very specific and tellwhat I lied to her about? Don't be so vague. It'll only show how terrible you are at lying. Mrs. Dawson described how talented you are, so don't let her down. After all..." Vespera looked around the crowd. "She's locked all of the wealthy ladies and socialites of Halewick here. We're here to be your playthings and entertain you." The crowd instantly went silent at her last words. Those who had been laughing earlier during the fortune telling were no longer smiling.
The ssituation-If one looked at it from an angle, the others were a joke. But from another perspective, the crowd was actually the joke.
Emily went pale. She knew Vespera was instigating trouble.
"Treat everyone as playthings? No! It's just a game!" Emily couldn't help but hurry over to defend herself.
"What game? That woman was so terrified that she fell to the floor. Now, you're accusingwithout any proof! Are we even your guests?" "Ms. Wyndham merely spoke the truth..." "I don't care if she's a fortune teller or skind of goddess! Answer me-are we still your guests?" "Of course! It's just a game!" "Mrs. Dawson, I'm really in awe at the way you treat your guests, and yes, I was being sarcastic. Also, I don't want to see this lunatic dressed like a crow again! Goodbye!" Vespera wore an unfriendly O expression while seeming rather domineering.
After speaking, Vespera turned to leave while cursing silently, wishing she could walk faster.
As for Yasmine and Rebecca, they quickly ran after her after being. m startled by her retorts against Selena. They were shocked that all Vespera needed to do was throw a tantrum, and they could leave. Once the three of them walked away, Felicia, who had been standing with the help of Emily's friend, shoved her aside. She also walked toward the entrance silently.
"Miss! Wait for me!" Fawn cto her senses upon realizing she could leave. She trailed after Vespera unsteadily.
Vespera was speechless. She didn't want Fawn and Felicia following her.
Since Vespera and the others had walked away, the ladies who were thoroughly.convinced by Vespera's challenging remarks had becfurious and wanted to leave. No matter how Emily explained herself, she couldn't stop them.
As for Selena, who was furious at Vespera for refusing to play along with the game, she remained calm She did not retort, nor did she seem anxious. However, her gaze was filled with animosity as she watched Vespera leave.
