Chapter 238 Ruining Her Reputation
Jessica's introduction of Eula as Judson's girlfriend sparked immediate displeasure in Melissa. Rising from her seat, Melissa approached them with a cutting remark. "Mrs. Nash, Judson sure moves on from one girlfriend to another quickly," Melissa sneered at Eula. Just engaged to Kristina yesterday, and today he's already with a new girlfriend. Everyone here could witness Judson's true colors - a real scumbag." Her tone turned sharp, and her expression was fierce.
Eula, unfazed by Melissa's behavior, comforted Jessica with a reassuring touch on her hand.
Jessica, a seasoned socialite, kind-hearted yet assertive, was not one to be bullied with.
Shaking her head at Eula, she then turned her gaze towards Melissa. "About the engagement, neither Robert Nash nor I had any idea. Did we make a visit?"
This was the escape route Judson left himself; the one they sent to make a visit was the housekeeper, not a family of Judson.
From this, it was clear to see that Judson didn't take the engagement seriously; it was just a joke to him.
Melissa hesitated. "Although you didn't make a visit, everyone witnessed the grand engagement party. It's clear that Judson values Kristina greatly."
With a pointed look at Eula, Melissa insinuated, "This lady here is quite cunning, managing to pressure Judson into calling off the engagement on the very day."
The room's attention shifted to Eula, sparking murmurs and discussions among the elite attendees. The wealthy and influential men in these families often attracted numerous admirers, leading to disdain towards mistresses like Eula.
Melissa skillfully redirected the blame towards Eula, effortlessly tarnishing her reputation.
Jessica, observing the situation, understood the importance of Eula's resilience in facing such challenges as a potential member of the Nash family.
Therefore, Jessica fell silent, while the elderly individuals beside her were her friends. Aware that Jessica, too, was assessing Eula, they naturally refrained from speaking up.
Eula responded calmly, "Mrs. Brewer, if I had the power to influence Judson's decisions, it would only reflect your daughter's insignificance in his eyes." As she spoke, she elegantly brushed her hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate collarbone.
She continued, "However, who truly plays the role of a mistress here? Has Judson truly committed to your daughter? Accusing others of being mistresses, is it possible that Kristina's eagerness to join the Nash family has led her to envision herself as Judson's wife?"
Melissa was left speechless, her surroundings seemingly turning against her with suppressed laughter.
Feeling the pressure, Melissa abandoned decorum, focusing solely on tarnishing Eula's reputation and ensuring her exclusion from high society.
Pointing at Eula, she continued her assault. "You, a woman involved with multiple men and mother to three illegitimate children, what right do you have to compare yourself to Kristina?"
With a sly smile, Melissa added, "Mrs. Nash, are you aware? Eula is a mother of three, with the father unknown. You've undoubtedly been deceived by her."
The women present were shocked, processing the revelation of Eula's alleged promiscuity and motherhood of three children out of wedlock.
