How Dare She Be So Arrogant?

The voices of the crowd were not loud, but Whitney and the other two heard them.
Alisha said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My brother is very well. How dare you curse him to die? You uneducated thing..."
"Alisha, it's okay. There's no need to argue with them. The Caffrey family goes way back. How can a few words of slander destroy it?"
Whitney pulled Alisha back. Although Whitney was also very angry, in front of so many outsiders, Whitney was still able to show the elegant and magnanimous attitude of a rich lady.
Previously, due to the engagement being annulled, the Caffrey family and the Callis family had not had a good time, and the world had many speculations about Orlando not showing up.
This time, Whitney had intentionally dressed up in front of the public to let everyone see that the Caffrey family was still as strong as before.
Alisha said, "But Mom, they..."
Alisha had been pampered since she was a child, so how could Alisha be willing to suffer this?
Alisha still wanted to argue, but Alisha's wrist was pulled back by Jaylin, who was dressed in a water fairy dress and was graceful.
Jaylin leaned close to Alisha and whispered something.
Alisha subconsciously raised her head to look at Viola, who was standing beside Audrey.
Viola was looking at Alisha as well.
When they were looking at each other, Viola chuckled and turned to look for Russell, who was socializing with others.
However, Viola's seemingly ordinary smile was provocation in Alisha's eyes.
Alisha gritted her teeth and said, in a low voice, "That bitch!"
Jaylin patted Alisha on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Viola won't be able to be arrogant soon!"
The three of them looked at each other and immediately beamed.
...
The ceremony had officially begun.
The Callis family had put in a lot of effort for this ceremony. In the past, it was usually a party with people socializing and dancing, but this time, in order to highlight the unique characteristics of the theme, they specially presented a martial arts performance.
This was the first time everyone had attended such a unique ceremony. They were in high spirits and the atmosphere was very lively.
The two masters of the different martial arts schools presented a real battle.
The guests below the stage stared at the scene, and they continue to applaud.
Joans and the others saw the scene and were very satisfied with Breenda's idea.
After the ten-minute martial arts contest, William won.
People were even more excited.
However, in the midst of the cheers, someone suddenly said something.
"What's the point of watching the master contest? I have a better suggestion. Why don't you listen to it, Mr. Callis?"
Jaylin stood up. Although Jaylin was speaking to Joans, Jaylin glanced maliciously in the direction of Viola and Russell.
Joans was stunned. Joans was very curious. He asked, "What good idea does Ms. Haworth have, tell me?"
Jaylin put on a brighter smile as she turned to look at Viola, who was not far away.
"I heard that Mr. McGraw's date has a very good foundation in martial arts. Previously, Ms. Zumthor didn't have any problem when she fought against five people. I don't quite believe it. Why don't we invite Ms. Zumthor to compete with Mr. Hood to add to the Callis family's opening ceremony today?"
Viola was trying the exquisite side dishes that Russell picked up when Viola was suddenly called out.
There was a sudden silence for two seconds.
No matter how good Viola's martial arts foundation was, how could Viola be compared to William? Moreover, there was such a great disparity in strength between men and women. Viola looked like she had small arms and legs. It seemed that even if William used two fingers, Viola would not be able to withstand it.
Wasn't that making things difficult for Viola?
Breenda had been backstage preparing for a performance, but when Breenda heard the noise outside, Breenda sat in a wheelchair and let someone push her onto the stage.
Breenda said, "Ms. Haworth's suggestion doesn't seem very fair. You and Ms. Zumthor are honored guests of the Callis family. It will be the Callis family's fault if any of you get hurt. Why don't you sit down and watch the performance? Maybe you'll like the next one."
Audrey also stood up and echoed.
Jaylin stood still and stared at Viola.
Sensing that her side had become weaker, Alisha stood up and provoked Viola with words.
Alisha said, "It can't be that you are afraid, right? That's simple. Admit that the people who bragged about your prowess were all deceived by you. You are a big liar who came from an orphanage."
"Ms. Caffrey!"
Breenda couldn't stand it any longer.
Before Breenda could say anything, Viola put down her fork and said, "It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that I think it's meaningless even if I win. After all, I won't lose."
As soon as Viola finished, the entire audience was in an uproar.
This woman ... is too crazy!
How dare she!
Russell was the only one who was still calmly enjoying the red wine. For a moment, it was difficult for everyone to understand Russell's attitude toward this matter.
What Viola said was what Alisha wanted to hear. Alisha looked at William, who was also stunned.
Alisha said, "It seems that Viola doesn't care about you at all. If you can't beat her, how can you keep your name?"
William was a little angry. William said, "Since this young lady is so confident, why don't you try it out? But you are a little girl after all. It is not honorable for me to win you, so I will only defend and not attack. I will let you make ten moves. If you can force me to back up in ten moves, then you win."
That was said decently.
William was acting tough and respectable.
And this meant that Viola couldn't avoid fighting with William.
If Viola refused again, people would say that Viola was arrogant and stupid and that Viola even embarrassed Russell.
Everyone's attention was on Viola, and they were all gloating over the drama.
Viola met William's eyes and stood up gracefully. Viola e smiled and said, "Since Mr. Hood has spoken, I will respect you. However, it is not necessary to let me make ten moves. I will not win in a glorious manner."
Viola was wearing a dark red satin dress. Coupled with Viola's beautiful and arrogant face, her temperament was fierce and elegant, almost making everyone unable to move their eyes away.
Unfortunately, William was a martial maniac and could not tolerate others looking down on him, especially a woman.
William snorted coldly. William was angry. William said, "I'll do as you say. I will be serious."
Viola still had a calm and composed smile on her face. Viola left her seat and was about to walk toward the stage. Breenda was worried that Viola would suffer a loss, so Breenda stood up.
Breenda said, "Since you're going to fight, Ms. Zumthor's clothes don't seem appropriate. Why don't we all watch the other performances first? We'll wait for Ms. Zumthor to get changed before coming back?"
The guests had no objections.
Breenda quickly gave the maid a look.
Viola didn't refuse and let the maid lead the way, leaving the banquet hall.
Alisha saw that Viola had been unbelievably calm from the beginning, and Alisha suddenly felt a little worried.
"Jaylin, look at Viola. Don't tell me Viola thinks she can beat Mr. Hood. And none of the professional fighters we sent last time came back. What if..."
"There is no 'what if'."
Jaylin was very confident. Jaylin said, "Although the last few are not bad, they were still far from being comparable to Mr. Hood Viola is only in her twenties. Even if Viola has a foundation in martial arts, it is impossible for Viola to be better than Mr. Hood. You just wait and see."
"Then what if Mr. Hood goes easy on her?"
"Don't worry."
Jaylin smiled proudly and leaned close to Alisha's ear. Jaylin continued, "There is nothing in this world that money can't solve. I have already sent someone to bribe William. I want him to pretend to make a mistake and cripple Viola. This time, the ceremony is hosted by the Callis family. No matter what, it can't be blamed on us!"
