Arabelle, dressed elegantly in her noble engagement gown, walked gracefully over and stood close to Jaxon.
“Liora, you came too? Could it be you still can’t forget Jaxon?”
It seemed Arabelle hadn’t told Jaxon why I was there. Before I could say anything, she teared up.
“Jaxon, it looks like Liora really does love you. Maybe I should give you up to her.”
She reached for the necklace around her neck. Only then did I see the diamond pendant Callum had given me.
“Arabelle!” Jaxon shouted, his voice filled with panic. “I only love you. To me, she’s not even worth a dog.”
“Get lost!”
“But my diamond pendant…”
I tried to explain, but the guests quickly surrounded Arabelle to shield her.
“The parasite’s back? Didn’t she push Arabelle last time? What’s she up to now?”
“Just go die already, you disgusting trash. Can’t you stop ruining things for them?”
Amid the crowd’s harsh words, Arabelle looked at me smugly. It hit me: I had fallen into her trap once more. She never intended to return the diamond pendant. Her real plan was to invite me here to humiliate me.
I looked at the diamond pendant hanging from her neck. I couldn’t let Callum’s gift fall into someone else’s hands.
