Seeing Paula's arrival, Dahlia glanced at her attire, then took a sip of wine before standing up with a slow smile. A long, sexy red dress outlined her stunning figure.
"Miss Koch. Please take a seat."
"Thank you!" Paula also smiled to those beautiful women in fashionable clothes.
But when these women saw her, they all had disdain on their faces.
Some of them didn't even look at her.
A few men even looked at her with ulterior motives.
She was already used to the way people treated her differently and looked at her with disdain. She was not dressed up enough to go out with them.
She had always understood that and had always tried to join the high society circle, but unfortunately it was hard.
It's really hard without family and contacts.
Otherwise, she would not have pestered Delmont so endlessly and arranged the battered-body trick today. Unfortunately, she failed.
"Come on, Miss Koch, have a drink." Dahlia passed the glass in her hand to Paula.
Paula politely reached out to take the glass. The magnificent diamond ring on Dahlia's hand shone brightly in front of her.
Dahlia seemed to show off and waved the ring in front of Paula's eyes, seemingly conveying some kind of message again.
Paula envied Dahlia that she could be Irving's fiancee.
Paula took a sip of the wine.
May introduced the ladies around her to her.
"Paula, you could feel free when you're with us. This is Carolyn Meaker, Belinda Kuhn, and some of their friends."
Paula knew that Carolyn and Belinda were from the two great companies that had given up the Alwynn Group. Instead, they worked with Irving during this time.
Their status could not be underestimated.
"Miss Verrill, Miss Kuhn, nice to meet you." Paula greeted them politely with a smile.
Carolyn looked condescendingly at Paula, who was wearing cheap clothes, "Dahlia, why do you make friends with her? She's not worthy of entering our high society circle." Her tone was full of disdain and contempt.
Paula felt embarrassed to be pointed out in public like that. She felt nothing but anger or resentment.
"Yeah, so cheap. Dahlia, you can't let someone like her join our circle. She smells like copper and really pollutes the air." Belinda also smiled and echoed.
The women beside her also laughed with contempt.
It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful lady would say such harsh words.
Hearing the impolite words of the two women, Dahlia smiled and said, "Miss Meaker, Miss Kuhn, Miss Koch is my friend and a classmate of Irving after all. You two please play nice. Don't say something so offensive."
Hearing that she was Irving's classmate, Carolyn and Belinda looked embarrassed.
"Miss Koch, we were just joking. Don't take the words just now seriously." Carolyn immediately changed her attitude.
Irving's classmates still have to be treated politely.
"Yes, this is a joke in our circle. Miss Koch, don't mind it." Belinda also said so.
But her expression was even more dismissive.
And she also wanted to be friends with Carolyn.
Belinda also took off her expensive diamond ring and handed it to Paula. She smiled and said, "Miss Koch, Carolyn's right. This diamond ring is designed by a well-known designer. You have such beautiful hands. You must look beautiful with them.”
Paula was stunned. She was excited but also worried after receiving these precious gifts.
All the gifts her ex-boyfriends gave her were not as expensive as the ones these two women gave her.
The two women really paid a high price.
Dahlia smiled with a complicated expression and persuaded her, "Paula, just take it. I just bought this diamond ring not long ago. As a friend, let me give it to you too. I will personally design a few sets of flashy clothes for you afterwards, so that no one will dare to laugh at you again."
In fact, they had a purpose tonight, to get Paula to stop hesitating to do things for them.
She had checked Paula's background, and she knew the woman loved money.
And she was in desperate need of money.
They were implying that she could join this high society if she was willing to do what she was told to do.
On the contrary, if she didn't want to do it, she would become a nonentity in the eyes of others.
These luxuries and money can easily tempt the poor Paula.
And most importantly, with such high-end jewelry, she can date a rich boy she desires. It was very obvious.
"Dahlia, this is too expensive." Paula looked at the three women in front of her and felt a little nervous.
She held the gift worth millions in her hands like she was dreaming. Although she said no, her heart wanted it so badly.
