Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Stunning Proposal (2)

"Don’t worry. Those two can’t stir up any real trouble. Since they’re so willing to waste their breath, just let them talk. We’ll just watch the show!" Seraphina Sterling greeted the people around her one by one. In truth, she didn’t care about any of this. It was just that those two seemed to think she did.

"You’re so incredibly nonchalant! I am in absolute awe!" Genevieve Churchill was practically ready to bow in reverence. She had never met anyone so unbothered! All she could do was sigh and look up at the ceiling.

"It didn’t even take you ten minutes to greet everyone here. Seraphina Sterling, did you count? Are there even twenty people?" Aiden Faulkner continued to gloat, relentlessly trying to get a rise out of her.

"Oh, Ms. Faulkner, you’re underestimating her. How could the eldest daughter of the Sterling Family have fewer than twenty people at her birthday party? I just counted, and there are exactly twenty-one!" Fiona Chapman’s smile grew even wider. "Seraphina Sterling, your popularity is truly awful. Even just to make an appearance, only twenty-one people were willing to come! You must be the most pathetic heiress in history! Throwing a birthday party that no one attends! It’s absolutely hilarious!"

"What’s so funny? What could make Miss Chapman laugh so merrily?" a voice suddenly cut in. The group turned to see a man approaching.

"Brother, weren’t you going to the Fenton Family’s? What are you doing here?" Aiden Faulkner’s face paled slightly. She had always been intimidated by her older brother and usually avoided him. She never expected to run into him here!

"I went. But it was dull, so I came over," Evan Faulkner said lightly, offering no further explanation. "Miss Sterling, on behalf of the Faulkner Family, happy birthday."

"Thank you," Seraphina Sterling replied with a polite smile.

"Oh! So you’re the famous Mr. Faulkner who went on a blind date with Fiona Chapman and just left in the middle of it!" Nadia Chapman’s eyes twinkled mischievously. "I mean, even if you weren’t interested in Fiona, you should have at least told her to her face! Just leaving without a word... that’s really not cool. Do you have any idea how much I suffered after you left? Since I was also at the restaurant, I immediately became her punching bag! My luck is just the worst!"

Fiona Chapman’s face flushed. She had to admit, Evan Faulkner was incredibly handsome and radiated the aura of a successful professional—the kind that women found very attractive. But his character was awful. He’d just abandoned her! She couldn’t stand that alone. And now, Nadia Chapman was bringing it up in front of everyone, making her feel even more humiliated.

"Ooh—so this Mr. Faulkner has been on a blind date with Fiona Chapman before?" Genevieve Churchill was the type who lived for chaos. She’d been itching to teach those two a lesson, but Seraphina Sterling had stopped her. Now, she finally had her chance. She darted over to Evan Faulkner’s side and went up on her tiptoes. She’d meant to sling an arm over his shoulder like she usually would, but his height made it impossible. She had to settle for just leaning her arm against his shoulder.

"I’ve got to say, Mr. Faulkner, you have good taste. No, wait, I should say you’re incredibly prescient. This Miss Chapman’s personality is really not great! She’s either looking down her nose at people or acting like she’s above everyone. The most crucial part is, she’s not very bright, and she’s extremely self-righteous! If you’d actually fallen for her, you would have to have been blind..."

Genevieve Churchill rattled on without stopping, causing Fiona Chapman’s face to drain of color. To be insulted so enthusiastically to her face... ’Doesn’t she see that I’m standing right here?’ she thought.

"Genevieve Churchill! You’ve gone too far! This is my private business; it has nothing to do with you!" Fiona Chapman struggled to maintain her socialite facade as she glared furiously at Genevieve Churchill. If they weren’t at a party like this, she would have absolutely started a fight with her.
