I cursed Arthur and my father for forcing me. I also blamed myself. First, for not having the courage to refuse, and for allowing myself to be manipulated. But as I was still a minor, I was at their mercy.
I was wearing a purple dress with straps and a V-neckline. It was pretty, but not very ostentatious for a gala. In fact, it belonged to my spring-summer collection and I had only used it for the sales photos, so it was literally new. I wasn't planning on buying an expensive dress just because they decided to invite me to a gala for some unknown reason.
I arrived by taxi. I wasn't planning on spending on a limousine or something similar just for show. People already had an idea of who they were from the leaked video. I really didn't understand why they insisted on keeping up appearances
