The moment Rue looked down and saw Ziggy on her leg, her brows knitted together in irritation.
Ziggy was wearing a mask, so even though his figure was familiar to her, Rue did not have time to consider extraneous questions while talking about the Bennets’ future.
Frustrated, she kicked aside Ziggy who was preparing to speak.
"Whose child is this? Don't randomly hug people!"
Ziggy immediately let go. 'Even though this woman looks like mommy, her voice and tone are completely different!'
'Mommy will never be that rude!'
'But why would this woman look like mommy?'
Ziggy stood calmly by the side, glancing at Rue, Mr. Bennet, and Mrs. Bennet alternatively.
He paused as he stared at Mrs. Bennet as though he had suddenly thought of something.
'This middle-aged lady looks familiar.'
His memory cycled quickly like a rapidly moving Powerpoint presentation and eventually stopped at the time when he was outside of the Comer manor.
'Oh, that's the grandmother who had bullied mommy for years.'
'So the man beside her is grandfather, then?'
'And this woman who looks like mommy would be her twin sister Rue?'
Ziggy scoffed. These few people who had consistently bullied his mommy had gathered, so it was time for him, as mommy's son, to enact his revenge!
Just like that, he turned around, walking past Rue deliberately, and waved at a male attendant.
"The Bennets and Mrs. Bluemel over there said that the music is too boring, they want something 'high octane'."
The male attendant frowned at Ziggy. "Why didn't Mrs. Bluemel tell me that herself and asked for you to do so?"
Ziggy looked at the attendant seriously. "What's wrong with you? Mrs. Bluemel and her family are discussing things, so they asked me to relay the message. If you don't believe it, you can go ask them!"
"But if you interrupt their discussion, I don't know what would happen."
The attendant took a few tentative steps and stopped.
Mrs. Bluemel was rumored to be irritable and would only pretend to behave ladylike in front of Mr. Bluemel.
Though in front of other people, she had always been arrogant.
The attendant shook his head. 'Oh fine, why do I bother vexing Mrs. Bluemel for something this small?'
So, he nodded and walked to the area that was in charge of playing music.
Ziggy squinted and took a piece of something as small as a fingernail.
This was his invention, he called it Coccinelle!
Although it was only as large as a fingernail, its ability to destroy lives was not to be underestimated!
Ziggy walked past Rue and when he was behind her, he threw Coccinelle onto Rue's dress.
The moment Coccinelle came in contact with Rue's skirt, it began to climb up until it arrived at the back of Rue's corset.
Squinting, Ziggy walked into an obscure corner.
Soon, the soothing classical music suitable for ballroom dance turned into disco-pop.
On the other hand, Rue was a little startled as she heard the change in music, but she immediately began swaying to it.
Mrs. Bennet tugged at Rue's arm, hinting her to notice the gaze that she had began to amass.
Taking the hint, Rue stood up straight immediately.
She looked around in confusion, 'When did the music change?'
The only people allowed to change the music in this ball were Edward and her. As she had been standing there the whole time, was it Edward who wanted it changed?
Rue shook her head in bewilderment.
She thought Edward did not like music like this.
She shook her head and continued to say to her father, "Dad, I really tried my best about the company. I’ve asked Edward for help, but he said unless we found out who was trying to sabotage us, he won't help us!"
Mr. Bennet was getting angry. "If he won't help, can't you influence his son Josh? Everyone can see that Edward cares for him a lot! If Josh made the request, he will absolutely help!"
Rue's temper flared at the mention of Josh.
"Josh is exactly the same as Edward! Both of them are closed-minded boulder heads, he said he wouldn't have helped either!"
Mr. Bennet was about to retort.
However, Rue was grabbed by a hand and was immediately dragged away.
Rue immediately lost her temper as she was being pulled away. "Who the hell, why are you dragging me!"
Then, she turned around and saw Edward's icy eyes, quelling her temper completely.
She smiled gently at Edward. "What's wrong? Are you looking for me?"
