There are many aristocrats attending the ball tonight. Some young aristocrats are looking at Hathaway. They really want to get rid of the aristocrats who danced three dances in one breath. The daughter of the Marquis of Lu Se rarely attends this kind of dinner. There are so many songs in a dance after this dinner. This guy has occupied three in one breath, and it depends on Hathaway’s mood. The probability of rejection will hardly increase greatly.
When the song stopped, Hathaway took Surdak’s hand and walked over to Beatrice on the dance floor.
In the chaotic crowd, a well-dressed woman came out and stopped Hathaway. The woman was beautiful and looked a few years older than Hathaway. Hathaway said rudely to her.
Hathaway, you can’t keep hogging him. You should rest for a while, and at least give Baron Sudak a chance to get to know his sister.
Hathaway looked coldly at Mabel, the seventh wife.
She is an ambitious woman who once threatened her mother, Lady Marianne’s position in the family. However, since this time, she secretly prevented the Marquis of Lu Se from taking part in the Battle of Kempato River, which caused the Marquis of Lu Se to fly into a rage, and the Marquis of Lu Se would look gloomy and scary every time she thought about that battle.
Hathaway ignored her. She’s a bitter person and won’t forgive the woman in front of her because it’s been so long.
She directly took Surdak to Beatrice and stuffed Beatrice’s hand into Surdak’s palm and said
"Beatrice, I’m tired. You cover for me!"
Beatrice pursed her lips and made a curtsy to Surdak, and her white chest was a little dazzling.
Surdak also bent over to salute. Compared with Beatrice, both of them smiled very tacitly and didn’t speak. Surdak thought it was also very good to circle around the dance floor with familiar people, and he wouldn’t be too nervous or embarrassed because there was no topic to talk about.
Beatrice was soon lost in the chaotic dance floor by Sur Dacla.
Mrs Mabel chased Hathaway from behind with a face of anger and accused her.
"Who shouldn’t be dancing with baron Surdak? Hathaway, you can’t do this. You are too overbearing. "
Hathaway took a glass of fruit wine from a waiter on the dance floor and took a sip at her mouth.
She said to Mrs. Mabel, "What to do is my business. Mabel, you didn’t accuse me."
Mabel stared at Hathaway and was a little breathless. She clenched her hands tightly and said angrily, "How dare you talk to me like that!"
Hathaway ignored her and sat directly in the next chair.
Seeing that Hathaway was ignoring herself, Mrs. Mabel really had no means to intimidate Hathaway. She couldn’t even tell the Marquis of Lu Se about it, making him feel that she was always gossiping in front of him, and Mrs. Mabel could leave angrily.
She was almost fainted by Hathaway.
A handsome young aristocratic friend encouraged him to get up the courage to go to Hathaway. He bent down and invited Hathaway, "Miss Hathaway, can you please dance?"
Hathaway looked at the young man who came out of nowhere with a surprised face and directly refused, "Not interested!"
“……”
The young man was embarrassed and didn’t know how to continue the topic for a while, but he just didn’t want to turn around and walk away.
……
Lady Marianne and Marquis of Lu Se sit together, and Lady annabella sits on their side.
Hathaway’s theory is that wherever he goes, he is a young man’s eye. The focus is that not many people dare to walk in stroke of bad luck. Lady Marianne complained to the Marquis of Lu Se, "Look, you spoil Hathaway."
The Marquis of Lu Se shook his head with a generous smile and said, "Those guys do nothing but wander around all day, and I don’t like them even Hathaway!"
Lady Marian said worriedly, "But Hathaway always needs a few friends. I don’t want her to be isolated in the aristocratic circle …"
"A good friend needs one or two people," said the Marquis of Lu Se, waving his hand again.
People keep coming up to Lu Se to say hello, and their conversation has been intermittent.
When Hathaway came out of the dance floor naturally holding Sudak’s hand, Mrs. annabella raised her eyebrows and looked at the Marquis of Lu Se, who still knew nothing. "Dinander, is he the young aristocrat you made an appointment to meet Hathaway in advance?"
Marquis of Lu Se nodded.
He didn’t expect that Hathaway had always been dismissive of young aristocrats, and she didn’t reject Surdak, which was a good end.
"What’s the matter?" Lu Se looked at the same thing and Mrs. annabella asked
When people don’t say those things, Mrs. annabella put the cup to her mouth and mumbled, "If you had made it clear in advance, maybe there wouldn’t have been such a big discount."
The Marquis of Lu Se did not understand the implication of Lady annabella. Although the Marquis of Lu Se was in a good mood tonight,
He danced with Lady Marianne and his sister, Lady annabella, and then sat on the sofa and chatted with Lady annabella and Lady Marianne. Lady annabella and Lady Marianne used to be close friends in the past few years.
Middle-aged people naturally have middle-aged people’s troubles, and magic potions are not easy to buy in the market now.
……
Mabel, the seventh wife, felt more indignant when she sat down and thought about it. She thought Hathaway was deliberately targeting her, and when the ladies next to her talked about Hathaway, she said
"At the beginning, she was engaged to the Baron Sidney in Hailansa, and then the young aristocrat died in Warsaw. Now this young man is still in Hailansa. It seems that Dinand really looks at the young aristocrat in Hailansa with some special respect!"
Hearing Madame Mabel talking about Baron Sidney at the dance, which was almost the last thing the Marquis of Lu Se wanted to remember, several ladies immediately turned pale when they heard the news.
Mrs. Sissy kindly woke up and said, "Mabel, be careful that these words are heard by Marianne."
