“Oh my god! Is she Miss Jocelyn?” When Tom turned around, his pupils immediately dilated. A beautiful and graceful woman appeared in his eyes.
Ever since Miss Jocelyn was young, everyone knew that she was very pretty. However, they did not expect that after more than ten years, the young lady would become so elegant.
Her voice was charming and tempting. Her face was like a god of the moon that had descended to the mortal world, and she had a cold aura that made people want to approach her and obtain her favor.
She gave off the impression that once she smiled, men would go do anything for her.
“Uncle Tom, how have you been doing recently? You’ve been working at my father’s side. I haven’t sat in your car since my mother passed away. What a pity!”
Jocelyn walked up to Tom and smiled, holding the hemline of her dress.
This smile seemed to warm up his body immediately, making him feel like the chilly spring breeze was actually very comfortable.
“Ah! Miss, I am very honored to hear that from you. You’re really beautiful today. This dress looks like it was specially made for you!” Tom praised Miss Jocelyn sincerely.
Before Jocelyn could reply, Maria stuck her head out of the backseat and shouted angrily, “What are you waiting for?”
Her voice was filled with anger.
Upon hearing this, Tom looked at Miss Jocelyn and shrugged helplessly. He gestured for Miss Jocelyn to hurry up and get into the car. After all, Miss Jocelyn was at a disadvantage at home. It wouldn’t be pretty if Miss Maria got angry at this moment.
Without another word, the two of them got into the car.
Beep! Beep!
After a few sounds, the car started. Uncle Tom quickly started the car and set out for Moon Bay Private Clubhouse where Young Master Aren was holding a banquet.
This clubhouse was often a place for upper-class gatherings in New York City. People from middle-class families did not dare to enter because the expenses inside were ridiculously high.
The journey was very smooth. After half an hour, the car that Jocelyn and Maria were in arrived at the banquet.
By the time they arrived, it was already packed with people.
The car park was already filled with various luxury cars. As soon as they came out of the car, a waiter guided the two of them towards the VIP hall.
The waiter and Maria looked at each other a few times, and then they both looked away as if they had known each other for a long time.
Soon the two of them got to the banquet.
Before she entered, she heard the melodious sound of the violin from the banquet in the corridor outside the door, as well as the voices of young men and women chatting and laughing inside.
Jocelyn felt slightly uncomfortable. Although she did not like this place, she had no choice but to come.
However, as soon as she entered, she felt a lot of gazes on her, most of which were filled with amazement.
“Haha, Maria, you actually brought a chick over. Why don’t you introduce her to us?”
A man who reeked of alcohol staggered towards the two of them. He had sleepy eyes and a lewd smile on his face.
Hearing this, a few more men also staggered towards Jocelyn. Their lewd gazes sized up Jocelyn, and their eyes were filled with interest.
Sensing their evil gazes, Jocelyn took a step back.
“Sister, what are you afraid of? These are all good friends of mine. They are all good people. I’ll introduce you to them so that you won’t be so lonely anymore!”
Maria quickly took a step forward and grabbed Jocelyn’s hand to stop her from retreating.
Hearing Maria’s words, the rich girls smiled playfully. They seemed to be very interested in what was happening in front of them and smiled as they watched Jocelyn being surrounded by a group of men.
Looking at the rich boys around her, Jocelyn said firmly, “I don’t like crowded places. Please leave me alone.”
“Hey, little beauty, didn’t you come to the banquet to make friends with everyone? Don’t be shy, we’re all very easy to get along with.” A drunk fat man with sleepy eyes gestured in front of Jocelyn.
“That’s right, that’s right!”
“Sweetheart, there is a lot of fun here.”
“You’re so pretty, so of course, we can’t neglect you. Come and drink with us!”
The men around her started talking at once.
Maria tugged at Jocelyn’s arm tightly to prevent her from leaving. These people were all good-for-nothings who were always drunk. If Jocelyn married one of them, her life would be miserable.
“I want to go over there, don’t pull me!” Jocelyn looked at Maria coldly and said. She pointed to a small corner next to the dining table.
“It’s not that I don’t want you to go, but these young masters all want to have a drink with you. I’m afraid it won’t be polite to ignore them, right?”
At this moment, Jocelyn glared at Maria, hating her to the gut. However, she couldn’t do anything to her. Jocelyn used all her might to struggle free from Maria’s grip.
Maria was shocked by her sudden reaction. When Jocelyn broke free from her hand, she started to play the victim by saying, “Ah, don’t be angry with me, sis. I know Father loves you more than me but that doesn’t give you the right to bully me. I am really trying to think of ideas to help you.”
Jocelyn looked around and saw that the men and some rich girls had surrounded her.
It seemed like if she did not drink, these people would not let her off.
“Don’t worry, sister. I think these masters just want to have a drink and chat with you. If you are willing to drink a glass to each master, I believe they’ll stop pestering you.” Maria said to Jocelyn with a smile.
“That’s right! As long as Miss is willing to toast us, we won’t keep you here.”
“Drink, beauty!”
“Baby, smile!”
“Hahahaha!”
The onlookers started making fun of her.
“Just a glass, right?”
Jocelyn calmed herself down and looked at everyone.
She had reached the limit of her patience. She did not like this kind of occasion and did not like staying with these people. If a glass of wine could shut them up, she was willing to try.
After all, she was the daughter of a rich family. They probably wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for her.
“Yeah!”
“Yes!”
“Drink, drink!”
Everyone replied with a smile.
“Alright!”
Jocelyn went up to the waiter who was holding a glass of wine, grabbed a glass of wine, and gulped it down.
“Wow, not bad!”
“That’s impressive!”
“Wow!”
After the praises, everyone dispersed like they said and stopped pestering Jocelyn.
What no one noticed was that Maria looked at the waiter who was holding the empty glass. A smile flashed across their eyes as if they had reached an agreement.
Jocelyn ignored Maria and walked towards the corner alone.
She felt a little dizzy as she walked, but she did not think much of it and walked towards the corner, ignoring the people who greeted her along the way.
Soon, Jocelyn found a stool in the corner and sat down with her head in one hand.
“Why am I so dizzy?” Jocelyn shook her head and whispered.
All she could do now was sit here and wait until she sobered up.
However, in her daze, Jocelyn fell asleep at the dining table.
“Miss!”
“Miss, wake up! I’ll bring you to the guest room upstairs to sleep!”

“Miss, wake up!”
After some time, Jocelyn pushed her head up from the table in a daze. She heard a voice in her ear, and then she felt like she was being lifted up.
Through her blurred vision, she seemed to have seen a waiter’s clothes.
The waiter helped Jocelyn walk out, her high heels clicking on the floor.
When he passed by the door, Maria stood at the door and looked at the waiter. She smiled and nodded at him..
