Chapter 6 Disgusting

• Even when wearing the most expensive dress to be worn among the guests, a country bumpkin would still be nothing but a clown!
• Janice was not afraid of Dylan's anger. After all, she had given Summer the most expensive dress from her wardrobe. It was not her fault if Summer could not carry it off.
• Also, the shoes Janice gave Summer had four-inch heels.
• Summer, who came from the countryside, had probably never worn high heels in her life, let alone four-inch heels.
• Maybe Summer would even fall while walking down the stairs due to how clumsy she was.
• Janice almost applauded her own cleverness.
• She was eagerly anticipating the moment when Summer appeared in front of everyone in that dress.
• Yes! She wanted everyone to see that her so-called sister was just a country bumpkin who was not worthy of being Janice's sister!
• "Sister, I will go downstairs first to wait for you. Dinner is about to start. Come down as soon as you are dressed."
• "Alright," Summer called out from within.
• After that, Janice hummed a little tune as she went downstairs, completely forgetting the embarrassment she felt earlier at the lawn because of Frederick.
• What was embarrassment compared to this?
• Summer would only feel more embarrassed than Janice did, making Janice's awkwardness seem trivial.
• Inside the bathroom, Summer carefully checked the dress. Eventually, she had to conclude that there was nothing wrong with it.
• What was the issue with it then?
• Summer looked in the mirror for a while and began to notice the cut of the dress.
• This dress was very picky about what kind of woman would look beautiful in it. It required someone tall and slim yet with a sizeable bust. Anyone with thick arms, broad shoulders, or a muscular back would not look pretty in it.
• However, if the wearer met those conditions, the dress would be perfect, and no one could overshadow her.
• Summer's lips curled into a faint smile. Ah, this was Janice's plan.
• How sad. Summer had often worked out and was blessed with a great body. Janice was going to be let down.
• ...
• Downstairs, Janice started the dinner early. The hall was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated.
• Guests held glasses of champagne as they watched Janice go up on the stage to give a speech.
• Frederick had long since washed up and come downstairs.
• He had no interest in these pretentious socialite birthday parties. The only reason he stayed was because of that human girl.
• As the Alpha of the Polar Pack, he would not allow himself to owe anyone a favor.
• Of course, there was more to it. He found that Summer had a faint scent that somehow lured him in.
• Frederick had not yet found his mate. He had sought Selene's guidance on this matter, and Selene had directed him to the sea. There, he was attacked and injured before he was ultimately saved by Summer.
• However, how could his mate be a pure human?
• Frederick could not figure it out, so he wanted to get closer to Summer to better understand this situation.
• At that moment, Janice stood on the makeshift stage with a microphone in her hands.
• She saw that Frederick had not left the party after freshening up, so she thought he might really be here for her.
• Such a powerful and noble man had to have been too shy to directly express his interest, so he pretended not to know her earlier.
• That had to be the case.
• He was being so considerate. She could not let someone as noble as Frederick take the initiative.
• Thus, Janice greeted Frederick first as she started her speech.
• "Hello, Mr. Night. Welcome to my birthday party. I am very happy to see you here on my birthday." She looked at Frederick with love in her eyes.
• Frederick found it baffling.
• Who was this woman? She acted like she knew him well, which was really disgusting!
• Speaking of which, why had that rude girl not come downstairs yet?
• Janice kept bringing the topic back to Frederick, afraid people would not know he was attending her birthday party.
• Just then, a servant came over and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Ms. Moore is coming downstairs."
• "Good. Turn on all the lights by the spiral staircase!"
• She wanted everyone to see how embarrassing that ugly duckling Summer was!
• "Yes, miss!" The servant went to carry out the order.
• All the lights on the spiral staircase from the second floor to the first floor were turned on. Anyone standing there would attract everyone's attention because the staircase looked just like a stage.
• A dazzling stage.
• However, if a clown stood on the stage instead of a princess, everyone would just burst into laughter.
• Janice was thrilled and timed her movements as she returned to the stage with the microphone and said, "Indeed, today is a great day. Besides being my birthday, it is also the day my sister came home. Ten years ago, she was kidnapped by traffickers and disappeared. Today, she returned from the countryside to our home. I am really happy..."
• As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps sounded from the stairs on the second floor.
• Click. Click. Click.
• It was the sound of high heels clacking against the floor.
• Janice tried hard to suppress her smile, which made her expression look twisted and ugly.
• She did not notice that at all. She raised her right hand and gestured toward the stairs.
• "Now, please join me in welcoming my sister!"
• The guests, unaware of the truth, perfunctorily clapped. The applause was sparse and unenthusiastic.
• It was just a beggar from the countryside. What was there to applaud for people of their status?
• If not for the fact that the Steiners were somewhat influential in Nearon and Frederick was present, they would not even have bothered to look, fearing it would sully their eyes.
• Why would people of their noble status need to look at a beggar?
• Upstairs, Summer heard everything Janice said.
• She slightly raised her eyebrows. Her bright eyes were filled with mockery.
• Was Janice that eager to see Summer make a fool of herself?
• Summer never felt any pride in her appearance. Physical beauty was the least reliable thing.
• Still, she now somewhat looked forward to seeing Janice's reaction to her appearance.
