"Whose child is this?!'" A sharp voice sounded.

Anika immediately turned to the voice and saw someone pointing to Adelaide.

She hurriedly stood up and ran to her daughter.

Yes, today's event was less formal. It was a casual banquet, so they took Adelaide with them.

Currently, the ladies are having tea in the outdoor garden.

Who knew they would immediately encounter a problem?

"Is this your daughter? How do you teach her? She hurt my granddaughter!" The elder woman with a luxurious fur coat said in a strict voice.

She had an undeniable majesty around her. It could be seen that her identity was not trivial.

Anika hurriedly kneeled to level with Adelaide and asked her.

"Sweetheart, what happened?"

Adelaide pouted and hugged her doll.

"She wanted to take my doll," The child answered softly.

Anika rubbed her back and turned to the elderly lady.

"It's, it's not my daughter's fault," She tried to reason out.

"What do you mean? Your child pushed my granddaughter!" The elderly angrily pointed.

Anika turned to Adelaide and saw the child shaking her head pitifully.

"No, no, she didn't," Anika defended again.

"Liar! That child is a liar! As well as you! How do you teach your child!" The Madame scolded.

"Who are these people? What's your identity?" She asked in a heavy voice.

Someone whispered in the woman's ear, and she raised her brow.

"So, it's the newlywed wife of the Albrecht? Truly wasting such a talented young man to have a wife like this. Who knows where she comes from!" She scoffed and said loudly.

Adelaide became scared and buried her head in her mother's neck.

"You really can't buy class. No matter how you dress a nobody, they will always be a nobody!" The old lady continued to scold, her later words becoming worse.

Anika could only hug her daughter tight, her heart clenching in pain. There was nothing she could do but receive the latter's harsh scold as she continued, spitting venom as she spoke.

"Enough!" Suddenly, a girly but harsh exclamation sounded.

Seraphina went in front of Anika and stood up to face the elderly woman.

"Not because you're old, you could bully others like this!" She said fearlessly.

The old woman was shocked.

"Old?! How rude! Do you know who I am?!" She scolded back, furious.

Seraphina crossed her arms over her chest.

"Oh, I know who you are. And you opened my eyes. The high society of this city is just like this, bullying distinguished guests. No class at all," Sera mocked boldly.

The old woman could only hold her chest in anger.

"You! I won't let this slide. Just watch, your group wouldn't have a chance on this bidding at all!" She said in anger before walking away in a huff.

The people looking at the farce were watching in gossip. They knew the old Madame was a high personality in the high society. Seeing these young people offend her, they don't know what would happen to them.
