Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Why was the dress bought by the Howard family showing up on this young girl from the Summers family?

Elite families have many secrets, and Mrs. McCain knew very well that knowing too much of their secrets is not a good thing. However… she thought she should remind her daughter so she would not accidentally offend someone, which would be a total loss.

When Purple Summers and Jane McCain returned to their seats, several dishes had been served, and Zara Jameson had arrived.

Unexpectedly, Bella Foster did not sit with Gavin Graves but chose to sit at their table.

“I am also Grey’s student.” Bella Foster explained with a bright smile.

Even so, Bella Foster’s attire today was overly mature and glamorous, making her look out of place among them, as if an adult was squeezed into a group of young boys and girls.

The atmosphere at the table was lively, as everyone chatted about fun things happening in school while eating.

Bella Foster seemed to be particularly enthusiastic and kind to Purple Summers, repeatedly picking food for her, which puzzled Jane McCain and Zara Jameson as they wondered when Purple had become friends with Bella Foster.

Purple, however, thought: there must be trouble when things become strange.

Later, when Bella Foster was serving the dessert soup, she used too much force and accidentally knocked over Purple’s wine glass.

—The beautiful grape wine splashed out instantly.

Purple quickly leaned away, saving her beautiful dress from being stained. However, the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Purple thought: Did she want to dirty my dress and make me embarrassed in public?

“I’m sorry, are you hurt?” Bella Foster stood up nervously, looking guilty. “It’s my fault. I wasn’t holding it steady just now… I’ll get you a clean glass.”

With that, she hurriedly left her seat.

Purple felt even more puzzled. Bella Foster could have just asked an attendant to take care of it, but she insisted on doing it herself.

“Purple, are you alright?” Jane McCain and Zara Jameson both asked her.

The scattered glass shards could easily cut the skin, and Purple was close enough that she might get scratched.

Purple thought for a moment, then said, “The hem of my dress got a little dirty with the wine. Can you accompany me to the restroom?”

The three girls went to the restroom together.

The women’s restroom in the hotel was spacious, with a dedicated area for female guests to touch up their makeup.

Seeing that no one was around, Purple motioned to her two friends and whispered.

She told Jane McCain and Zara Jameson her suspicions and thoughts.

“No way…” Zara Jameson’s eyes widened in astonishment. She wasn’t doubting Purple but was shocked by the situation Purple had hypothesized.

Jane McCain pondered, then said, “If there is unprovoked attentiveness, it is either deceit or theft. I found it strange when she kept picking food for Purple just now, but…”

Jane McCain looked at Purple and hesitated, “Are you sure? Isn’t she too bold to cause trouble at an engagement dinner?”

Once exposed, she would offend both families. Would Bella Foster really go that far?

Purple shrugged helplessly, “I’m only preparing for the worst, just in case. It’s always good to be careful.”

“It’s true. Even if we guessed wrong, it wouldn’t do any harm to her.” Jane McCain echoed.

Zara Jameson asked, “What if we guessed right?”

The three girls looked at each other and kept silent unanimously…

When they returned to the banquet hall, the broken glass on the table had been cleaned up, and Bella Foster had returned as well, smiling at Purple.

“I’m really sorry about what happened just now. Let me pour you some wine as an apology.”

Bella Foster gracefully stood up, picked up the grape wine on the table, and poured it into two wine glasses, then handed one of them to Purple-

Purple took the wine glass without showing any emotion.
