Chapter 156 - Charity Function (2)

26 January, Hotel Ballroom, City K

Lexi's words stunned the crowd that was gathering around them. Lexi could see that the people gathered around them were wondering who was this woman attacking Madam Mo?

"How dare you!"

"I absolutely dare. I cannot stand bullies, particularly a mother bullying their daughter, let alone people who think they are superiors to everyone simply because of their wealth."

A pin could be heard dropping with that. People started wracking their brains about the Mo Family, before a quiet voice could be heard saying "Could one of these people be the oldest Mo daughter, the one the family disowned because she married a solider?"

Madam Mo, hearing that had a scowl on her face. There is no way that her family wanted to be associated with the military, even though marriage as it made them look dirty. Business ruled the world.

"No retort mother, you like to forget everything that you do not like," added Monica. "No wonder the family's attitude drove Sophia to her death…"

"You killed her. You knew your role was to stay and be your cousin's companion until she married, and then you married who we arranged for you…"

"So, you admit I am a member of your family. Anyway, I am my own person not anyone's keeper. You, along with the rest of the family, treated Sophia as a princess who was entitled to get everything she wanted and me as dirt. You could not take I made choices for me and Sophia made choices for her. Her choices have nothing to do with me. I just hope you do not destroy my little sister Abigail with your actions."

"Do not speak of her, you have no right," screamed Madam Mo.

"She is my sister, and I love her, but just remember she is her own person, not a tool for you to use." With that Monica turned her back on her mother and started talking to Jessica and Sarah.

Lexi was alert as to what was happening, and stood facing Madam Mo, behind Monica. Despite her conflicting feelings there was no way she wanted to see violence at this event. It reflected badly on everyone. To distract her, Lexi said "So are you going to say where you purchased your fake couture dress?"

Turning to focus on Lexi, Madam Mo said, "How would trash like you, who is wearing a fake LY dress know designer clothes."

Quietly laughing Lexi responded, "More than you will ever know."

"If you are with that piece of trash, then you must be a military wife, and relying on the money that your husband skims from the military which is all our hard-earned money, to support your lifestyle."

"Do you ever think before you open your mouth? Defaming people only leaves you open to legal action."

"When it is the truth it is not defaming a person. You are the one defaming me claiming I am wearing a fake. Why would I ever resort to wearing fake designer originals?"

"You need to get your facts straight before opening your mouth. And as to wearing fake designer originals, why would a designer sell limited edition items to a person like you?"

"They know class."

"Class! Ha!,…"

Andrew decided that this would become messy if Lexi really unloaded. Very few people here knew she was LY's head designed and owner, and with this crowd if that became known she would never get any peace.

"You need to be thrown out away from good people…"

That was enough for Lexi, and as she went to open her mouth, she felt a hand on her shoulder, and turned noticing that it was Andrew, so she quickly shut her mouth.

"Madam Mo."

"CEO Yao," came the simpering reply. Lexi had to stop herself laughing at this woman who thought she was charming and convincing her brother that she was the victim.

"These women are disturbing the event. Could you have a talk to the organisers to get them thrown out as they are ruining it for everyone. Plus, she," and with this she pointed to Lexi "made false allegations that I am wearing fake designed clothes."

"Madam Mo, I heard the argument, and your allegations directed to these ladies. You abused your daughter, demeaned one of my most trusted former executives Maxwell Fung's daughter …"

"They do not belong in society, as they went against the rules that we live by…"

"They followed their hearts and married for the one reason any marriage should happen, love."

"So, what the woman beside you is even worse than them…"

"There is no way she will be thrown out from here."

"She is just trash."

"Trash! You have no idea who she is."

"None of us care."

Shaking his head, Andrew decided to end this, before any of their friends who were here spilled too much. "Let me tell you Madam Mo, you are nothing compared to her, absolutely nothing."

"I am not nothing, I am the matriarch of the Mo family."

"The Mo Family. Ha! This is the Yao family heiress, my baby sister, and more the daughter-in-law of the Rong family. You want to compare yourself to her. You are nothing, and she has only spoken the truth, and defended her friends."

The words drew a gasp of shock from everyone. People had not realised who Lexi was. Given the wealth of the Yao and Rong families it was no wonder that she and her friends were all wearing designed dresses. Their combined wealth was equal to just about all the other families of the town. David Hwang, was the only person who in terms of wealth could compete with their combined wealth. He had only recently established his corporate headquarters here but for the single girls and their marriage minded mothers he was as attractive as Andrew as a marriage prospect for their daughters.

"What … No that cannot be true. She is your mistress and you are protecting her."

"What a dirty mind you have Madam Mo, but then given your husband had an affair with his sister-in-law resulting in the birth of Sophia Mo because you refused him for a period of time, I am not surprised."

"How did…"
