Chapter 10 Total Domination at the Banquet : One Against Three Chapter 10 Total Domination at the Banquet : One Against Three " This one's on me ." John had said , a knowing glint in his eye . Three days later , he invited Mandy and Yvonne to attend a high - society banquet together . +5 Free Coins Yvonne was dolled up like a porcelain figurine - flawless makeup , glamorous dress , every strand of hair in place . Mandy , on the other hand , showed up in a long - sleeved evening gown and flat shoes . Aesthetically baffling . The Tate family saw it and said nothing . They wanted her to be mocked . The worse she looked , the worse her reputation would get - and that was exactly what they wanted . Before entering the hotel , John gave a not - so - casual warning . " I'll be talking with Mr. Rich . You two mingle until I get back ." Yvonne nodded obediently . " Yes , Daddy . " Watching their oh - so - affectionate performance , Mandy said nothing - but her eyes were full of disgust . Once inside , John quickly disappeared , leaving the two girls to fend for themselves . Yvonne was instantly surrounded by her socialite friends . " Oh my god , is that Mandy ? The girl your family brought home a few months ago ? " one of them asked . Yvonne smiled sweetly . " That's right . She's my sister ." " Mandy , let me introduce you . This is Lily , and this is Sonia - her family's hosting tonight's event ." Sonia gave Mandy a slow once - over , nose scrunching with disdain . Her eyes took in Mandy's cold gaze and outdated fashion choices . The disdain on her face said it all . Mandy's reputation in the Tate family didn't help either . " A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin ," Sonia said , loud enough for everyone to hear . " You can tell she's never been to a banquet . Poor Yvonne . I would've ditched her immediately . " " Yeah , look at her face . Like she's trying to act tough or something , " Lily snorted . Yvonne put on her signature sweet - and - fake tone . " It's Mandy's first formal event . I should've helped her more . You guys , don't be too hard on her . " A seemingly protective comment - yet it crushed Mandy's image even further . " She's obviously embarrassing . What , are we not allowed to say it out loud ? " Lily snapped . " I heard you barged back into the Tate family and started stealing from Yvonne . And this is the best you can dress ? Still looks like a hick . " " Lily , stop teasing my sister , " Yvonne said gently . " She's not even following the dress code , " Sonia cut in . " Mandy , is that dress something you stole from Yvonne too ? Doesn't even fit . I'll help you take it off ." The second Sonia's hand touched Mandy , she grabbed her wrist and shoved her toward the wine table with enough force to send glasses crashing to the floor . Sonia landed right in the middle of the shattered glass , drenched in wine and looking completely pathetic . Yvonne shrieked, " Mandy ! How could you push her ? " That shout was deliberate - so everyone would know Mandy was the aggressor , 1/3 P P Chapter 10 Total Domination at the Banquet : One Against Three The crowd's eyes turned toward her - some shocked , others eager to watch the drama unfold . Yvonne rushed to Sonia's side and helped her up as Sonia burst into tears . Lily's eyes blazed . " Mandy ! Apologize ! Now ! " Apologize ? Mandy almost laughed . In her past life , Yvonne had used Sonia and Lily like attack dogs - constantly bullying and humiliating her . Now that she was back , Mandy had come prepared . She wanted to make a scene . +5 Free Coins Loud and clear , she declared , " She tried to take off my dress . What was I supposed to do - stand there and let her strip me ? " " Mandy , stop lying ! " Sonia shrieked . " If you're honest with yourselves , you know the truth . And I wasn't the only one who heard it ." Yvonne quickly jumped in , " She was just teasing . Sonia's always been playful like that ." Playful ? " Oh , Mandy smiled , " Then I was just playing too . " Gasps rippled through the room . " She's insane - pushing someone over a joke ? " " She's gone too far ." She picked the wrong crowd to mess with . The Rich family doesn't take things lightly . " Lily was fuming . She grabbed a glass of wine and marched toward Mandy . Just as she flung the liquid forward , Mandy twirled out of the way and ; in one smooth motion , grabbed a bottle of champagne from the table . She shook it hard . " Lily , let me show you what real payback looks like . " Lily panicked . " Wait - don't you dare ! " But Mandy wasn't bluffing . She strode up to her like a predator and yanked Lily's wrist , holding her so tightly that Lily screamed . Then , with her other hand , she bit off the cork and dumped the entire bottle over Lily's head . Rose - colored bubbles spilled down Lily's face , drenching her dress , clinging to her chest , soaking her designer heels . " Ah ! Lily screamed like she'd been stabbed . Everyone stared in silence ... One girl . Two high - society heiresses . Humiliated . Defeated . Mandy looked down at the dripping mess that was Lily and smiled . " Not bad , huh ?

" She charged at Mandy , fists swinging . +5 Free Coins Without hesitation , Mandy slapped her so hard she spun and crashed to the floor , clutching her burning cheek and sobbing uncontrollably . Just then , a well - dressed man in a tailored suit pushed through the crowd . " Lily ! What happened ? " It was Trevor Rich - CEO of Rich Corp and Lily's father . Lily collapsed into his arms , wailing . " Daddy ! She poured champagne on me and hit me ! You have to teach her a lesson ! " 3/3
