Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216 No one can understand this suffering when everyone was the audience, and you were the clown. It was like stripping yourself naked and exposing yourself in front of everyone, which hurt like hell. Eileen did not know how she made it to her seat. She looked pale. Luke frowned and fetched a glass of warm water and put it in front of her. Since Luke wasn't happy, he put the glass so hard and it gave a loud sound. And all those gazes around made him feel even worse. Eileen picked up the glass without saying a word. She had reminded Luke that if he brought her here, she would become a joke at the party. It was a business party, so all attendees were businessmen and their companions. Some people were greeting Luke. So, he just left Eileen alone in the corner and went to them. 　 He was like a star, and many people gathered around him. They were chatting with a glass of wine in their hands. At this time, a woman wearing a blue dress came down. And she also wore blue earrings. She looked very beautiful and elegant. She seemed to have a good relationship with Luke. She walked over, embraced him, and whispered in Luke’s ears. After a while, the woman, whose name was Nina Riddle, invited Luke upstairs, "Long time no see, Luke. Can't I talk with you for a second? I promise it won’t take long. If you refuse me again, I will feel embarrassed and angry!" Hearing her words, Luke chuckled. Luke put his hand around her slender waist and his body was pressing against Nina’s. Then they went upstairs. Eileen felt her heart was torn apart. The terrible pains were spreading over her body. She lowered her head and drank water, trying to hold her tears back. And after Luke left, instead of peeking, others started looking Eileen up and down and talking about her. "The Benningtons are noble and rich. How come Luke married a cripple?" "I heard the girl had a baby before she got married. Luke’s grandpa forced Luke to marry her after he knew the girl was pregnant, and then he died not long after." "She is pretty scheming ah. But how dare a cripple come here?" "..." Women always liked gossiping about others. Those men also noticed Nina. And they all thought Nina was good-looking and her only shortcoming was her crippled leg. The man in a gray suit said, "She looks definitely most beautiful at the party, but not for her legs." The arrogant woman sitting beside was unpleasant at these words. She snorted, "Calling a cripple the most beautiful woman in the venue, aren’t you visually disadvantaged?" Their murmurs came to Nina’s ears and others’ gaze stabbed her in the back like knives. Eileen felt extremely uneasy. She kept staring at the stairway, hoping that Luke would appear. Three minutes, five minutes, fifteen minutes passed... Luke didn’t appear. Eileen's gaze became dull, and she could no longer bear to hear others talking about her. She wanted to go to the bathroom and get some air. A woman also got up and followed her. The woman looked as arrogant as a peacock that spread its tail. Just as the woman passed Nina, she quickened her pace and deliberately stepped on the hem of Eileen's dress. Eileen's feet twisted and fell to the ground. Instantly, everyone’s gaze fell on her. Eileen did not want to make a fool of herself on occasion like this. She reached her hand to the table next to her and tried to stand up. However, when Nina almost propped herself up, the woman behind her deliberately stepped on the hem of her dress again. Eileen fell to the ground with a thud, and at the same time, the drinks dropped off the table.
