Chapter 53: The Shattered Red Dress

"My cousin went abroad, so you're in a bad mood, right?" John added with a curious expression.

Amy looked away.

"You seem to know alot about him."

A trace of gloom flashed across John's eyes.

He then smiled, "Well, just-so-so-"

They walked in and found that the hall was luxuriously decorated.

Many people had already sat down.

On the table was full of delicious food.

John sat down next to her, occasionally glancing at her face.

The people who came tonight were all dignitaries.

Because of what happened in the Tache Family last time, many people had known Amy, so they
greeted her with a slight nod.

Surprisingly, Amy happened to be sitting at the same table with the girl she bumped into during the day,
and that woman was wearing the red dress.

She was surprised, but she couldn't suddenly talk with that woman because there were too many
people.

When that girl saw Amy, her face darkened instantly.



Why was this Amy always around? Vera was sent abroad because of her, and no one knew when Vera
could be back! She glared at Amy and kept silent.

There were many people here, and everyone knew Amy's identity.

She did not dare to be presumptuous here.

Amy looked at the girl.

She was only about twenty years old.

And Amy thought this girl was probably spoiled.

The people at this table were all young people and most of them were girls.

These girls looked at Amy in an unfriendly way.

Amy pursed her lips.

All these girls happened to know Vera.

The waiter brought up plates of exquisite dishes and placed the dishes in front of them, accompanied
by silver knives, forks and scissors.

The Seafood Festival was coming soon.

Was it hairy crabs tonight? As soon as Amy thought about it, she saw the beautifully wrapped hairy
crabs being served.

Everyone got two hairy crabs on their plate, which looked very delicious.



When the waiter left, the girl opposite snorted coldly, "Amy, do you know how to eat hairy crabs? I
heard that you don't come from a good family.I'm afraid you don't know how to eat this.Do you want me
to teach you?"

After she finished speaking, the other girls all laughed and looked at Amy with disdain.

Amy raised her eyebrows, took the scissors by the side, and elegantly cut the legs.

She did these leisurely and skillfully.

The girl froze for a moment.

She did not expect Amy to be so skilled.

She lowered her head silently and did not dare to speak.

When everyone was eating the hairy crab, Amy smiled, "You know what? Your favorite crab roe and
crab sperm are actually crab genitals.They are nutritious.You should eat more."

The atmosphere instantly froze, and everyone stopped eating.

Some even began to throw up, their faces darkened.

John was greatly shocked.

He found that Amy was just like an thorn that would unconsciously sting others.

The next dish was Chinese Forest Frog, which could smooth and whiten faces.

"This is the Fallopian tube.Don't you feel disgusted?" Amy instantly said again.

Upon hearing her words, the people who were about to eat the frog gritted their teeth and stopped.



"Amy, can you stop talking about these disgusting things? Do you want to starve us?" Amy curved her
lips and stroked the rim of the glass with her fingertips.

"I'm just telling the truth.You're so unknowledgeable, but it doesn't mean that I'm the same.’ Their faces
turned livid after being humiliated.

But they did not refute.

John rubbed his eyebrows.

If he had known, he wouldn't have been at the same table with Amy.

After a while, the waiter brought up the fish roe again.

Fish roe was also their favorite food, but when they saw that Amy did not start to eat, they sat still.

So there was such a scene in the hall.

The people at other tables were toasting, but none of them started eating from the beginning to the
end.

Everyone's faces were sullen.

Some people were so hungry that they were about to get the fish roe.

Amy said calmly, "Actually, the fish roe is the egg mass of the female fish and the sperm mass of the
male fish.It's a little disgusting"

The women's faces froze one after another.

Some of them stood up and joined other tables, determining not to sit with Amy.



The few people who had previously been sarcastic also left, leaving only Amy and John here in the
blink of an eye.

John put one hand on his head and looked at her.

"Amy, tell me the truth.Did you eat anything before coming here?"

Amy took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.

"Yes, I'm a little full now.’ Her words put John's nose out of joint.

"Didn't you know that food would be prepared here?"

"No one reminded me."

Amy answered calmly, "And it was you who wanted to sit beside me."

John felt speechless.

"Amy, does my cousin really like you?"

The image of Paul kissing her suddenly appeared in her mind, her face blushing with shyness.

John saw her blush and pursed his lips coldly.

After dinner, the waiter came over to clean up the mess in an orderly manner.

The tables in the hall were also removed, and beautiful white stools were moved over one after
another.

Everyone sat down one by one, and the host went on stage to count the things that everyone had
donated.



Amy noticed that the girl in the red dress got up and walked out as if it was because the waiter had said
something to her.

She wanted to follow the girl out, but her position was too conspicuous.

As soon as she stood up, everyone would notice her.

She could only sit down and plan to talk to the girl later and change back her dress.

The list on the stage was about to be read to the end, and everyone looked at Amy.

If they heard correctly, Amy didn't seem to donate anything, did she? Did she come here only for dinner
tonight? Although she had the support of the Howard Family, she was still from an ordinary family and
wasn't noble herself.

Several people who knew Amy began to whisper, their eyes blazing on her.

Amy frowned and looked at John beside her.

"What are they talking about?"

"Amy, didn't Paul remind you that you have to donate an item at the gate to attend this charity party?
There are people who collect items there."

Amy really didn't know about this.

She saw a lot of reporters at the front door and didn't want to be seen, so she went through the back
door.

"Didn't you also go through the back door?"

It was strange.When did John donate?



"Before we meet, I've already asked my assistant to bring over the things.There are so many reporters
at the front door.Everyone wants to use the name of charity to make a good impression in front of the
public.Many of them come here on behalf of the company.When the reporters report these things, the
company’s stock will rise a lot.Amy, you are the only one who doesn't want to attract attention." Amy
held her forehead.

It seemed that she was really going to lose face tonight.

She really didn't donate anything.

"Isn't it shameless to come to such an occasion for dinner?"

"Why did Old Mr.Howard take a fancy to such a girl? Although Paul has a serious illness, he doesn't
have to marry Amy”

"I think Paul has been completely abandoned.In the future, he probably can't get the property of the
Howard Family.Old Mr.Howard is a smart man who is willing to be nice to Amy.He just doesn't want
people to think that they are bullying Amy by relying on their power."

People around were chatting, and Amy pretended not to hear them.

She couldn't do anything now.

The host counted everything and smiled.

He looked at everyone and said, "On behalf of all the children who have been donated, I thank you for
your generosity ‘’

As the host finished speaking, everyone looked at Amy with more disdain.

Amy scolded Paul in her heart.



Why didn't he remind her that she needed to prepare the things for donation before she came?
However, she was now penniless.

Even if she really wanted to donate, she could not bring out anything.

Compared to other people's rings and bracelets, her things were too shabby.

She just pretended that the words around her didn't exist.

Anyway, she wouldn't lose everything.

A waiter suddenly ran onto the stage and whispered a few words to the host.

The host glanced in the direction of Amy.

Everyone around saw this look and was instantly excited.

"The host must know that she didn't donate and wants to scold her.I know it."

"Shame.I guess she'll be thrown out."

"I feel awkward to be in the same place as this kind of person"

John sat next to Amy and didn't care about the words.

He wanted to see how Amy would react.

"Sorry, I missed Miss Amy Turner's donation."

The host's voice suddenly became louder and he bowed deeply in Amy's direction.

"Amy and her husband donated 1.5 million dollars to us.Because it was a remittance, it didn't appear
on the list.Sorry, Amy " Amy was shocked.



1.5 million dollars? Did Paul resign donate it in the name of the two of them? It turned out that the man
had already thought about everything.

She felt warm in her heart, and the coldness between her brows faded away.

The people who were still talking shut up in an instant.

What Amy donated was much more valuable than what they donated.

After all, they were just here to make a name for themselves.

Who would really donate so much? Amy's lips curved slightly, and she was in a good mood until the
end.

When everyone got up and was about to leave, a disheveled figure suddenly ran out of the corner
crying loudly.

Her red dress was torn, her feet were covered in blood, her bra was dragged, her body was full of
injuries, and her lips were swollen.

"Don't come over! Don't come over! Ah!!"

She cried and waved, crying pitifully and trembling violently.

Everyone present was shocked and knew what this woman had experienced at a glance.

Aman quickly took off his suit and tried to cover her, but she wildly waved her hands to stop him from
coming closer like a madman and curled up on the ground.

No one dared to move again.

The police soon came over and caught the drunkards who were disheveled and looked satisfied.



The way they looked at the girl was even more disgusting.

The girl kept crying, and blood flowed down her thighs.

Amy looked at the familiar red dress and was shocked.

"I heard she was raped by those men.How pitiful! She's still so young ‘’

"I'm afraid she won't be able to live a good life in the future."

"She is already mentally ill.She must be tortured in a short time."

When the people around were whispering, Amy felt cold all over, her lips trembled, and her palms were
sweating.

She stared at the red dress that had been torn into pieces.

That was the one Selma gave her.The girl who was taken away was the one who bumped into her in
the business circle today…
