Chapter 448: Besieged With Ridicule


    “Did you just say a charity party? Is it being held by the Larson Group?”


    Putting away the coat she had just pulled off her body, J thought it over for a few seconds and then


    added, “But I don’t have an evening dress for such an asion. When you were Ethan, it was no big


    deal for me to wear my usual dress to attend a formal event. But today the situation happens to be very


    different. You’re Brandon Larson now. If I underdress, it will go on to be a huge disgrace to you.”


    In fact, J didn’t want to go at all. If she went to the party, she’d have to face those who looked down


    at her.


    After adjusting his tie, Ethan asked in a very gentle voice, “Didn’t I buy you a custom-made dress before?


    If it’s not something you like, I’ll ask my assistant to send over a few more for you to choose.’’


    Ethan quietly looked at J for a few seconds and as if sensing her thoughts, he touched her hair and


    asked her, “Don’t you want to go to the party? A distinguished guest from Barnes will be there. Joanna


    White happens to be a famous phnthropist in Barnes. I want to introduce you to her.”


    With a sweet smile on her face, J leaned her head against Ethan’s shoulder and said, “I nearly forgot


    about the dress you gave me. Wait a minute; I’ll go get changed.”


    After that, she walked into the room and put on the dress. She knew in her heart that Ethan had good


    intentions for doing this. He wanted to bring her to such important asions to emphasize and


    consolidate her position. Sooner orter, she had to adapt to such things.


    After putting on her dress and fixing her makeup, she headed to the party with Ethan.


    The charity dinner just got started. This event was totally different from any party that J had attended


    before. This kind of charity dinner was obviously on a higher level than the other events. Everyone here


    was refined and talked properly


    “Mr. Larson, it’s good to finally meet you.” Two men in tuxedos, who were about fifty years old, made


    their way over with huge smiles on their faces.


    When talking to them, Brandon was not as level-headed as he was to other people. Perhaps they were


    business partners. The three of them talked together rather casually for a while. The atmosphere


    seemed to be rxed and pleasant.


    J sat on the side and enjoyed the desserts and champagne quietly. At this moment, several middle-


    aged richdies came over to talk to her.


    “Mrs. Larson, do you like sweets?” a richdy in a fitting dress and curly hair asked with a smile on her


    face, staring at the te resting in J’s hand.

    After a short pause, J nodded with a slight smile. The desserts here were indeed very delicious and


    at the same time, she was not that much of a fussy eater.


    “Booth’s Cake is way better. Mrs. Larson, please go try it when you have the time. Its taste is much


    better than these cheap desserts they serve here.”


    These richdies proceeded to exchange nces with one another.


    “In fact, it matters very little whether the dessert is cheap or not. If one never gets to see the world and


    thinks that these are already good stuff, then that will be the real joke here.” The richdy flipped her hair


    and turned to look at J with a thoughtful look on her face.


    “I heard that Mrs. Larson graduated from a local design school.” Tiffany was right. Cindy wouldn’t be the


    only one who didn’t like the fact that J married Brandon.


    These richdies mocked her one after the other. They pretended to act like they cared about J, but


    in fact, they were ridiculing her in a way that said that she didn’t deserve to be Brandon’s wife.


    “Yes, I am a designer.” J tried her best to stay calm.


    “Designing isn’t in demand right now. Besides, all those famous designers graduated from prestigious


    foreign universities. Our domestic design schools here aren’t very good.” .


    “Mrs. Kane, is it true that your daughter is studying fashion marketing at UCIA?”


    With a proud expression on her face, Mrs. Kane replied, “Yes, she’ll graduate in one year. She met Mr.


    Larson before and said that she wanted to work as an intern in Larson Group after she returned. Now,


    there’s no chance for that anymore.”


    Mrs. Kane let out a long sigh and then went on to say, “You have no idea how excellent my daughter is.


    She went to study in a foreign country alone at the age of fifteen. Many rich young men are pursuing her,


    but she only likes mature men.”


    With a faint smile on her face, J acted like she didn’t understand what Mrs. Kane meant. She was


    feeling so


    angry and aggrieved that she couldn’t even taste the dessert in her mouth.


    “What are you girls talking about? It appears to be something funny.”


    At this time, a middle-aged woman in a royal blue V-necked evening dress walked over toward them.


    She was noble, low-key, and elegant all at once. She had a graceful and elegant appearance, with an


    easy-going and calm aura emanating from her. Her long ck hair was held up on her head by a ck


    wooden hairpin. When those richdies caught sight of her, they became restrained and courteous right


    away.


    “Good evening, Mrs. White. We’re just chatting with Mrs. Larson here.”


    The middle-aged woman had a friendly smile on her face. She nced over at J, appearing stunned


    for a few seconds, and then asked with a gentle smile on her face, “You’re J, right?”
