"What's going on?" Claire thought as she was startled. From time to time, she will hear screams from onlookers as they shout their idol's name. The celebrities came to the Scott Family villa to walk down the red carpet? She doesn't know what's going on. Claire did her best to squeeze in the mob. Under the doubtful gaze of the crowd, she quickly walked through the main entrance of the villa. A female celebrity who was posing on the red carpet in front of some journalists, saw Claire in her current attire and thought she is a family maid, she called her,
"Hey! Come over here, help me lift up my skirt!"
Claire turned to look and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Yeah, I'm talking to you! Come over here and help me!" The female celebrity's tone was impatient, and one would hear the underlying tone in her voice as though doing the chore was a great honor.
"Sorry, I'm busy." Claire replied coldly as she left in large strides.
The female celebrity's face flushed instantly as she has never experienced a cold treatment before. The reporters at the side immediately took photos of her being rejected, and she stared at Claire's retreating figure hatefully.
Claire dressed up very casually. In the crowd of men and women dressed to the nines, Claire stood out like a sore thumb. Even the servants of the Scott Family are dressed better today than Claire. From the moment she entered the household, she has been treated like a servant. She ignored every one. Claire didn't want to enter this house again after she was sent abroad by her father. She no longer considered this place to be her home. She only returned today because she needed to retrieve her mother's belongings that she left behind. Once she get her things, she'll leave immediately. Claire looked around and saw Alice with her mother. After Alice entered the entertainment circle, as if someone is backing her up, she had steadily risen up to fame, and up to date, no one has been able to shake up her position. Stella, her stepmother, who is dressed like a noble lady, is holding onto a bottle of wine, and is going around accepting everyone's blessings. Alice is also surrounded by a group of young people fawning over her. Alice didn't have a stellar abilities, and the only reason people are all over her is because of the man backing her up. The taste of flattery was pleasant and Alice had a charming smile on her face, however, it quickly froze as her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Claire Scott who was walking towards her.
"Why is she back? Picking a time like this." Alice's heart skipped a beat. Obviously, she didn't want to see Claire. She didn't want to see Claire ever again in this lifetime.
Claire Scott who already reached and stood in front of her calmly said, "Where are the things that my mother left for me?"
Alice did not answer her question as she turned to her guests, smiling as she said, "You guys enjoy the party. I have some matters to attend to. I'll chat with you later." Looking at Claire with anger, she whispered, "Who sent you back?"
"I've graduated, of course I have to come back." Claire sneered.
Alice's face darkened, and said in an unfriendly tone, "You want your mother's things? Follow me!"
