Chapter: 798
Holding back a hiccup, Bettie began, “Oh, yes! I know quite a few Like...”
She was about to tell them the name of the celebrities
Sabrina swiftly interjected, “Bettie, have you had enough to eat?”
“I’m full.” Bettie changed the topic. “Where’s the wine? Any more wine around? I feel like another drink.”
“You’ve had enough; it’s time to head home,” Sabrina said.
“But I want anothe:
Bettie’s voice wavered as she rubbed her temples and reached for Sabrina‘s arm. Her vision was clearly blurry.
“Enough,” Sabrina firmly replied, standing and attempting to lift
‘We need to head home.”
“Come on, Bettie seems keen to stay. Maybe just a Little longer?” one of the classmates chimed in.
With a hint of mischief, Bettie gazed up at Sabrina and declared with a pout. “I’m not ready to go. I need another drink!
Exasperated, Sabrina bent down to whisper, “Do you want Elora and Lance witnessing your messy drunken antics?”
The mere thought of embarrassing herself in front of them made Bettie reconsider. With newfound clarity, she declared, “No!
Alright, Let’s head home!”
“That’s right!” As Sabrina helped her, she informed their peers, “Bettie’s had a bit too much. We’re heading off now.”
Others nodded understandingly, but not without a reminder. “Hey Bettie, remember Bradley’s autograph!”
“Of course! I’ve got it in mind!”
Reaching the underground parking, Sabrina assisted Bettie into the back seat, mentioning, “We’re going to pick up Jennie. Feel
free to nap back there if you need to.”

Bettie didn’t say anything.
After leaving the room, a sudden wave of sadness washed over her.
Later in the drive, as Sabrina focused on the road, a soft whimper caught her attention.
Glancing through the rearview mirror, she saw Bettie, tears streaming down her face.
Sabrina’s heart raced as she nearly missed braking for the upcoming red light. “Bettie, talk to me. What’s going on?”
