Chapter 972

This bar was always a hotspot for wealthy heirs and heiresses-a prime hunting ground for those looking to flaunt their charm. Now, Kaia had made a huge fool of herself, embarrassing herself in front of everyone.
There was no doubt this embarrassing moment would spread quickly through their circles, and her reputation would tank.
Kaia quickly got to her feet, still looking disheveled. She cast a plaintive glance at Jonah. “Mr. Pilsner
Sitting beside Hailey, Jonah lifted his cold, indifferent gaze to meet hers.
Then, he said in a calm tone, “You jumped at me out of nowhere, Ms. Ellington. I just moved out of the way.”
Hailey smiled.
Kaia was fuming. She could tell Hailey was laughing at her.
Clenching her fists, she snapped, “Ms. Hailey, what are you laughing at?”
Hailey looked right at her. “Why ask when you already know? I’m laughing at you, of course.”
“Ms. Hailey, you’re seriously this happy just before I took a fall? We’re both women-do you have to be so cruel?”
Hailey replied, “Oh, please, Ms. Ellington. You didn’t just trip-you were trying to throw yourself into a man’s arms and failed. What now? Planning to take it out on me?”
As she spoke, Hailey’s bright gaze swept over the crowd. “And let’s be honest— I’m not the only one laughing. Why single me out, Ms. Ellington?”
Kaia was left speechless. She hadn’t expected Hailey to be this sharp-tongued. “Ms. Hailey, sure, I made a fool of myself. But if you think it’s so funny, why don’t you get up there and dance?” Kaia tried to provoke her.
Jonah’s sharp brows twitched slightly. He looked at Hailey beside him and said, “You’re pregnant, so you can’t dance.”
Kaia sneered. “She probably doesn’t know how to dance anyway. Nor does everyone else.”
Hailey smirked. “Ms. Ellington, are you sure I can’t dance?”
Kaia responded, “If you can, get up there and prove it!”
Hailey rose from her seat and said, “Alright. I’ll give you a little demonstration.”
Jonah reached out and grabbed her slender waist. “You’re not going.”
He didn’t want her to dance.
Hailey lowered her eyes and glanced at Jonah Mr. Pilsner, let me go.

Tonight is the perfect chance teach Ms. Ellington a lesson. show her what real dancing looks like!”

With that, she pried his hand off her wrist.
Jonah’s expression darkened. He was clearly unhappy, but with so many people
watching, he had no choice but to hold himself back.
The rich heirs around them were more than happy to stir the pot.
“Ms. Hailey, are you really going to dance for us tonight?” someone asked gleefully.
“Ms. Hailey, Kaia may have made a fool of herself just now, but no one can deny that her dancing is top-notch. Are you sure you can outshine her?”
Kaia was full of confidence. She had deliberately provoked Hailey, hoping that her clumsy moves on stage would only serve to highlight h own elegance.
This was her chance to turn the situation back in her favor.
Joanne was the most delighted of all. Hailey and Kaia were finally going head-to- head-this night just got interesting.
She leaned back in her seat, ready to enjoy the show.
She chuckled and added, “Ms. Hailey
is a high-society heiress. I’m sure she won’t be any worse than Kaia. We’re all looking forward to it, right? Ms. Hailey, you won’t let us down or give us a good laugh, will you?”
