GoodNovelChapter 287 The Improper Lady "Mason?!" Amelia exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "What? Am I not welcome?" Mason, dressed in a simple beige suit, looked even more strikingly handsome. His androgynous beauty had already caught the attention of many women at the event. "Why would you think that?" Amelia said with a smirk, eyeing Mason and Sadie. "Do you two know each other?" Mason slung an arm around Sadie and said with a clear voice, "Sadie and I go way back to our college days. I've always been there for her, like a guardian angel." "I see," Amelia said, smiling meaningfully. "Just like Micah and me, then!" Amelia never missed an opportunity to remind Sadie of the special relationship she had with Micah. However, mentioning Micah also inadvertently reminded Sadie of a promise she had made to him-to keep her distance from Mason... 'If that devil finds out about this run-in, there will be hell to pay.'

Victoria threw Sadie a glance and followed suit.
As Sadie hurried to catch up, she felt a tug on her arm-it was Mason. "Sadie, we need to talk." Sadie quickly pulled away, whispering, "Mason, remember we agreed to keep our distance." "Uh..." Mason's hand froze in mid-air, his expression forlorn.
"I'm sorry." Sadie didn't dare look at him and lowered her head as she walked away.
After a few steps, she noticed Micah standing not far off, watching her. He was holding a wine glass, flanked by several distinguished-looking business and political figures, seemingly discussing something important.
He occasionally chimed in, but his eyes never left Sadie. He must have seen everything that happened, and now his gaze was ice cold.
With her head lowered, Sadie swiftly navigated toward the back hall, aiming to evade the crowd. Despite averting her gaze, she couldn't shake the oppressive feeling of their unsettling stares. Regardless of gender, they all seemed to view her with disdain, suspicion, and ridicule.
She even overheard a few women whisper among themselves.

Look at her, with her chest and thighs virtually on display-nothing but bait for the men!" "How did someone so tacky crash a high-class event like this?" "Seriously, who let her in? She's bringing down our whole vibe." "I heard it was Amelia. Drop it. She's not someone to mess with." "Amelia's a kind soul. She's probably been bewitched by her dubious charms." "Absolutely! No doubt about it!"
Sadie couldn't take it any longer and briskly walked away. She wasn't a VIP or anything; just another body! filling the space. The party would go on with or without her. All she wanted now was to find a quiet corner to hide and wait for the event to end and leave with Victoria. The back hall was much less crowded, with only a few staff members and servers.
Sadie spotted an empty lounge and headed for the door when suddenly, a stern voice boomed, "What have You el done? How can you injure yourself right before your performance at such an important event? Is this your idea of a problem for me?"
"It wasn't on purpose, Vicky! I swear!" A young woman sobbed. "I bumpaccidentally bumped into Ms. Amelia While passing through the banquet hall. "She got mad, shovedhard, and I crashed into a server, scattering wine glasses all over the floor-and then Ms. Amelia..."
