The commotion here did not escape the attention of others, and onlookers gathered around.
"Oh, Lucy Thompson, your dress is ruined."
A sharp voice chimed in, the person holding a fan, seemingly ignoring Molly Walker and only staring at the girl in the purple dress.
Lucy Thompson saw Molly's dress stained with red wine too, and with a smirk, she nonchalantly put the wine glass aside: "If she can't afford to compensate for my dress, then I can only repay her in kind."
Only then did the fan-holding girl look Molly in the eye and, upon seeing her dress, narrowed her eyes: "Her dress..."
"What's wrong with her dress? Could it be even more expensive than mine?" Lucy Thompson scoffed. As a Thompson cousin, she would always receive respect from others outside; whatever price she claimed for her dress, people generally paid her because of her connection with the Thompson family. Today's meeting with a tough nut to crack, however, was a first for her.
