Chapter 14 Degradation
Yoi’s glance went past Dorie and fixed on Annabelle, “Miss Xia, are you and your friend trying to cause
trouble?”
Dorie’s anger roused when she heard that, just when she was about to speak her mind, Annabelle took
the initiative and said to Yoi, giving her a botox smile, “Miss Han, what do you think we can gain from
disturbing you?”
“Exactly!” Dorie assented.
“Well, why would I know?!” Yoi leered provocatively at Annabelle.
This haughty attitude of Yoi was really testing their patience. Dorie decided not to lay low anymore and
challenged her, “If dignity is worth money, yours probably can buy a can of soda!”
This wealthy and spoiled lady had never been insulted all her life. She clenched her fists and her nose
flared with fumes of anger.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY!?” She yelled furiously. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, apparently not only are you behaving like a cat’s arse, but you’re deaf like one too.”
“You little…” Yoi was breathless with anger and she stomped hot-temperedly with her heels, “Alistair,
look at them, they are bullying me…”
All these dramas did not faze Mu one bit and he appeared to be completely undisturbed. With a light-
hearted tone he told Yoi, “Yoi, why do you get upset because of them? Isn’t that degrading?”
Once again, Yoi’s face took a 180 degrees change, back to her sweetened look. She stuck out her
chest and her nose flared in pride, “You are right! I shouldn’t bring myself low like this!”
And now the ball of insult was served right on back.
Dorie was still struggling to keep her anger in check while Annabelle had been showing her humourless
smile.
“What should we do with this dress? And the dinner too!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll get you a new one later.”
“Thanks, Alistair!” And Yoi gave him an immodest smooch on his cheek. Whilst doing so she leered
belligerently at Annabelle.
Annabelle continued to stand still with her botox smile. She was perplexed by such undeserved hostility
and pugnacious behaviour. What more, they have only met just ONCE…
Sigh, women trouble…
Dorie too, felt annoyed and a crawling urge for mischief. She drew out 20 dollars of change and shoved
it in front of the couple. “Miss Han, however it may be, we would still like to offer a token of apology.
Take this for the dry washing fee.”
Yoi frowned upon the petty notes, “20 dollars? You seriously think that’s enough?”
“Umm… No. But the problem is you are worth only this much!” And Dorie turned her head away
victoriously and winked at Annabelle, “Annabelle, shall we?”
Annabelle continued to remain silent. She nodded happily and followed after her.
And now, raw anger thrummed within Yoi! She turned towards the two ladies but they had already
gained some distance.
“If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas! Such ill-mannered people!”
How dare they insult her like that! She etched this humiliation in her heart and swore to payback, but in
the account of Annabelle!
“Alistair, look at them…” Yoi yanked his arms restively.
“There is no need to be unsettled with them. Be reminded, you are a prestigious lady. Why be bothered
with them? Alistair spelled out for her patiently.
