Chapter 7
Caroline, who had been standing at the door, was so upset that she pierced herself with her own nails. When I saw it, I was tempted to wink at her playfully. I just returned what she did to me in the past.
At the beginning of the dinner party, Anthony kept me by her side. That really humiliated Caroline to the point that it made her eyes red because of how humiliated she was. After that, I could see her whispering to a middle–aged woman.
Soon enough, the middle–aged woman came towards me with her hands ready to slap me. But Anthony gave her no chance, he then stopped her. What the man did made the middle–aged woman even angrier.
As the woman opened her mouth, she told to me in a strong Brummie accent, which stunned me, “You fucking hag! You only know how to seduce young rich men from

good families! You‘ ve turned good men into your slaves, aren’t you?”
Frankly, I was stunned that this woman was invited to a family dinner like this. Not only that, her dress showed her low taste as she wore a spaghetti strap red and green dress that was paired with a huge golden necklace. There was no way she would be invited to such events like this.
I had to admit that I had no idea that Anthony even took Caroline’s relatives to his home. Obviously, it seemed that Anthony’s feelings for Caroline were indeed special. This was interesting.
Although Anthony was unhappy, the man still pretended to act polite as he explained to the woman opposite to her, “Aunt Phyllis, she’s not like that. Today is my grandmother’s birthday party. For hr sake, please don’t make a scene.”
Then, Anthony whispered to me about the middle–aged woman before me. It turned out that this was Phyllis Sewell, Caroline’s

mother. The woman was a single parent who then moved into the Morrow Family s mansion with her daughter.
In the past few years, Phyllis helped clean their mansion. Clearly, she was from the lower class. Yet, the woman dared to act arrogantly as she kept complaining about me, even putting her hands on her waist.
“I heard from my daughter that you relied on young rich men’s money and spent your inheritance like crazy. Then, your family went bankrupt. Are you still trying to prey on them?” she boldly asked me.
Since I was never a good person to begin with, I couldn‘ t let this slide. Instead, I passed Anthony as I confronted the middle–aged woman. After all, I was no longer the old me.
“Mrs. Sewell, you act like the host at someone else’s birthday party. Is Miss Caroline already engaged to Mr. Morrow? How come a guest who comes here gets humiliated?” I bravely retorted.

Anthony definitely tried to calm the situation down, subtly calming me down.
“Aunt Phyllis, why don’t you go and take a look if the meals are already prepared or not,” he said.
However, what Anthony had just said made everyone quickly realize that this middle- aged woman was nothing but a servant. This was a slap in Caroline‘ s face. She became even more upset.
Anthony humored me for a while, trying to prevent me from leaving as soon as
possible. I also realized that the man
arranged my seat next to him, which was the second seat next to Mrs. Morrow, the matriarch of the Morrow Family. Meanwhile, Caroline was arranged to sit a
few seats away.
Everyone who came here was all smart. They just watched the drama unfold, but they didn’t react. After all, the wife of Adrian Dupont came to the party, so she deserved to sit next to Mr. Morrow. It
