SWNOVELS Chapter 531-540
Chapter 531
Zachary had a bad impression of Wilson because he had once taken the initiative to greet him and extend a handshake, but Wilson had just sneered at him and didn’t take Zachary seriously.
He even commented that Yolanda snagged second place, suggesting that as her fiancé, Zachary should celebrate.
Zachary had a few drinks at that point, but Wilson wasn’t about to let up. He even called over a few ladies of the night, claiming it was a loyalty test for Zachary towards Yolanda.
Zachary was livid, but he kept his cool. He made an excuse to head to the restroom, only to overhear whispers that Yolanda and Wilson had been dated and even kissed!
When Yolanda and Zachary started dating, she’d told him he was her first love.
He remembered their first kiss, how clumsily she’d kissed him, claiming she had no experience.
At that reunion, Wilson and his friends deliberately trashed the place, sticking Zachary with a bill that nearly broke a million bucks.
Zachary thought to himself, it’s okay to let them look down on Yolanda. She will be his wife. Who dared to laugh at her?
She might have been picked up by the cleaners to be raised, but she never harbored any resentment, treating everyone around her with kindness.
Who could be better than her in this world?
So what if she had been with other guys before? She grew up without a father’s love, just craved for someone’s care. Was that wrong?
That’s what Zachary thought at that time, so he quickly accepted Yolanda, and the past was over.
But he never thought he would see such a video today. Turned out Yolanda and Wilson had been intimate before he knew her!
The ultimate betrayal for a man!
The woman he cherished had been another man’s woman!!
“What the hell is this? Turn it off!” The host didn’t recognize the girl in the video was Yolanda because she looked completely different today.
But some of the other guests recognized her and started whispering.
At this point, both sets of parents realized the girl was Yolanda, the bride of the day!
Zachary’s cousin finally realized why Yolanda looked so familiar. He remembered now. Wilson had shown them this video before, shamelessly sharing every time they’d been intimate.
They had seen this video over twenty times, and now his cousin was with someone else’s old flame!
He chuckled, thinking Yolanda was quite the schemer.
“What’s going on?” Zachary pulled his hand from Yolanda’s, clenched his teeth, and pointed at the big screen, raising his voice.
His voice echoed through the room, amplified by the microphone on his collar.
Yolanda was near tears, “Zachary, let me explain.”
“You want to spin more lies? Claim you were forced? It’s obvious in the video you’re willing! You even seem to enjoy it! Yolanda, how old were you when you were with him? How could you do such a thing?”
“Zachary.”
A sharp slap echoed through the room. Zachary had slapped Yolanda in front of everyone.
Chapter 532
Today, over 600 people showed up, mostly friends and relatives of the Panter family. So, they were really just throwing all the Panter family’s dignity out the window. How was Zachary supposed to face people after this?
Mrs. Panter finally snapped out of her daze and angrily shoved Olga. “Is this how the Murphy family raised daughter? No sense of shame, utterly disgraceful.”
In the video, Yolanda looked really young. It must have been from a year or two ago.
How old was she a year or two ago?
Olga was totally dumbstruck. Though most of the guests that came today were from the Panter family, there were also some from the Murphy family. This engagement party had turned into a circus in front of everyone. She couldn’t bear to lose face like this!
Without thinking, she grabbed hold of Mrs. Panter’s hand and tried to explain nicely, “Mrs. Panter, you know what kind of person Yoli is. She wouldn’t do something like this. She must have been set up!”
Attlee quickly chimed in, “Yeah, you know how people these days could edit videos. The girl in the video was definitely someone else. Someone must have stirred up trouble and tried to ruin the engagement party. Whoever you are, come out now!”
“Mr. Murphy, do you think we’re blind? Can’t you, as parents, recognize your own daughter? Can you really fake a face and voice?” Mr. Panter was so angry that his face turned red. He was ready to punch the hell out of these shameless Murphys!
With all these guests here, he lost all his dignity!
Olga didn’t know how to defuse this awkward situation and called out to Yolanda in desperation, “Yoli, say something, would you?”
Only then did Yolanda snap out of it. Right, she could deny it. After all, the person involved wasn’t here, so she could say whatever she wanted!
So, she started to cry. “I don’t know who made this video or why it was shown during the ring exchange. Who are you? What do you want? Are you trying to ruin my engagement party with Zachary? If you have the guts, come out and face me!”
She looked at Zachary, her face wet with tears, a mix of hurt and defiance. “You are my fiancé, and you all will be my family!”
She was referring to Mr. and Mrs. Panter. As tears streamed down her face, she held back the pain and said, “None of you asked me. One hit me, one misunderstood me, and one insulted my parents! Don’t you think that’s a bit much? Is this how the Panter family raised their children?”
The room fell silent.
Yeah, did the Panter family act too rashly? This was an engagement party!
They hit the bride–to–be in front of everyone.
The bride’s family were the richest people in Tranquil City!
Zachary’s palm stung from the slap. Yeah, he did overreact, hitting her without knowing the full story in front of over 600 people.
Seeing her face turn red and swollen, Zachary remembered the injuries she had sustained in the past couple of days, and his heart ached.
“Are you sure this girl was not you?” Mrs. Panter’s voice was filled with anger. “Do you have any evidence to prove that she’s not you?”
Yolanda felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at Mrs. Panter. “And do you have any evidence to prove that the video was real? That the girl in the video was me? That I did those things, and I don’t even know it? Do you know me better than me?”
Both Attlee and Olga breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Yoli was rational and clever. She could argue her points, clearly and keep things under control.
“I know you don’t like me and even look down on me. Zachary and I love each other, but you don’t accept it. Did you make up this video? Did you plan to ruin this engagement party?”
Yolanda’s words suddenly turned the tables, and all the blame was now on Mr. and Mrs. Panter.
Chapter 533
“What the hell are you babbling about? Today is the Panter family’s bash. How could we possibly do something like this? You’re so sharp–tongued. Did you really do this, and now you’re trying to pin it on us?”
“If I really did this, the Murphy family wouldn’t end well!” Yolanda retorted angrily, “What about you guys? Do you dare to swear? Can you honestly say that you didn’t fabricate all this bullcrap just to put us, the Murphy family, in hot water?”
“You’re out of your mind!”
But all the guests saw Yolanda swear on it, while the parents of the Panter family didn’t dare to do the same. They suddenly felt that maybe this young girl was being framed. If she really did something so revolting, why would she stake her whole family on it?
There must be something going on here that they didn’t know about.
Just then, the big screen began to play page after page of hotel records.
The time, location, room number, and duration were all crystal clear!
There was even footage of Wilson and Yolanda going in and out of the hotel together and them fooling around in various rooms.
Looking at the screen, more than twenty videos were playing at the same time, each one with Yolanda’s face plastered all over it!
Zachary spotted the mole on Yolanda’s buttock in the midst of all the videos. If the girl in the video wasn’t her, how could the person who made the video possibly know where her mole was?
Also, there was a scar on her thigh from a burn she got when she was a kid near the root of her thigh. If the girl in the video wasn’t her, why was even the position of this scar spot on?
“Still dare to say it’s not you?” Zachary was livid, raising his hand, wishing he could slap her again!
This time, Yolanda lost her composure and stepped back in disbelief.
Who could possibly dredge up everything that happened a year ago?
At that moment, a figure flashed through her mind. Could it be Arabella?
Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Panter suddenly gained confidence, “So it was you! You swore on your whole family just to mislead everyone. You’re a cold–blooded, wicked person!”
Before Yolanda could react, she was slapped by Mrs. Panter!
“How dare you hit my daughter?” Olga was immediately anxious and wanted to step in.
“You disgusting creature, if your parents didn’t teach you manners, then I will!” Mrs. Panter landed another slap on Yolanda.
Olga tried to stop her, but Mr. Panter blocked her way. Attlee was about to step in, but Mr. Panter punched him hard.
The whole scene turned into chaos. Even the host was stunned, not knowing what to do.
“Take a look at the wonderful daughter you raised!” Mr. Panter punched Attlee once more, not caring they were on stage.
Seeing her husband’s lip bleeding, Olga screamed and tried to stop it. But then she saw Mrs. Panter slap Yolanda again while Yolanda was still clutching Zachary’s hand, trying to explain!
Chapter 534
“You two–faced snake, I’m going to expose you for who you really are!” Mrs. Panter didn’t hesitate and lunged forward, her freshly manicured nails harshly scratching across Yolanda Murphy’s face.
Yolanda screamed in pain, her hair being pulled by Mrs. Panter, and even her wedding dress got ripped off.
“Since you’ve thrown all dignity to the wind, why not just let everyone see the real you? After all, they’ve all seen your antics!”
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Yolanda tried to protect her wedding dress with one hand and wildly hit Mrs. Panter with the other, accidentally hitting Mrs. Panter’s face.
“You dare to hit me, you wretch!”
Mrs. Panter quickly pinned Yolanda to the ground, sitting on her and hitting her repeatedly while tearing at her wedding dress.
Yolanda was screaming for help from Zachary, but Zachary just stood aside, coldly watching her.
The guests from the Murphy family tried to intervene but ended up arguing with the guests from the Panter family.
Some Panter family guests even helped Mrs. Panter by holding down Yolanda, spitting in her face, and helping to rip her clothes.
Unable to help her husband, Olga turned to save her daughter, but was blocked by relatives of the Panter family, who pointed their fingers and cursed at her, even throwing things at her.
As all hell was breaking loose, the screen suddenly switched to Grace Murphy’s hospital room.
Last night at eleven, during the shift change, the Murphy family of three sneaked into the old lady’s room, begging her for help.
The guests were all stunned by this scene, never expecting that the usually arrogant Attlee would secretly bring his wife and daughter to beg for help.
Hadn’t they just spent a fortune to buy the land? How did they become so desperate?
The people fighting on the stage also stopped, stunned by this revelation about the Murphy family.
Olga was even more shocked. When was their every move in the room recorded?
Was there a camera in the old lady’s room?!
The thought made her feel weak and almost unable to stand!
“Mom, when we asked for your help, you refused, and we didn’t want to upset you any further.”
Attlee knelt on the ground, sincerely saying, “Later, we heard about a piece of land that could make us a fortune if we bought it. So, Olga and I sold everything we had, including our house, shares, and cash! We also took out huge loans from many local banks, borrowed money from many people, and finally raised 1.2 billion dollars!”
The guests were shocked to hear this, and they couldn’t believe the Murphys had bought their land this way, and they were wondering where they got their money from!
It turned out they hustled and borrowed from all over to gather the money!
Feeling the disdain and contempt from all sides, Olga shouted, “Who’s monitoring this? Stop the playback immediately!”
The host hurriedly asked someone to check backstage and instructed the staff to pause the video.
However, although the staff had pressed many times, the machine still did not respond, “We can’t stop it! We don’t know what happened, and this machine seemed to be malfunctioning!”
Chapter 535
“Cut the power off!”
“Can’t do it!”
This was the first time the workers had encountered something like this, which was totally mind–boggling.
In the CCTV footage, Attlee was seen kneeling by an old woman’s bedside, sobbing, “We finally managed to buy this piece of land, but we’ve been told that we must start construction within a month and can’t sell it for five years.”
It was true. The Panter family had been interested in the property before, but they backed off when they heard about the five–year hold period.
They were puzzled about how the Murphy family could afford to sit on the land for five years. As it turned out, the Murphy family was clueless about the whole thing.
“We’ve borrowed money from many local banks and acquaintances. Just the interest alone costs us over $300,000 a month. But our company’s funds are tight, and our monthly profit can’t cover this debt!”
The room was full of stunned faces at this revelation. Over $300,000 in interest!
That was a terrifying figure!
It might be manageable for a few months, but who could bear it for five years straight?
The big question was, were the rumors about the Murphy family’s financial troubles true?
Their monthly profit was less than $50,000 after all expenses.
And they were still the wealthiest family in Tranquil City!
“So, what do you want me to do?” Grace asked coldly from her bed.
The camera angle only caught Attlee and his family kneeling on the floor, not Grace’s face. But her voice was clearly filled with annoyance and frustration. She was frustrated with her ungrateful son, who kept bothering her while she was ill. She had made it clear that she wouldn’t help, but Attlee kept coming back with his wife and daughter, which was quite irritating.
“Mom, don’t you own 30% of the shares? Worth $30 million. I have a suggestion. Hear me out. Sell your shares, keep $10 million for yourself, and give us the remaining $20 million for emergencies. This $20 million could cover our debt for about five years.”
Grace hadn’t expected him to have planned it all out already and gave a cold laugh.
“In five years, I will sell the property and get more money than now. Then I’ll repay you the $20 million. You can keep it or give it to Arabella. What do you think?”
Grace’s smile turned even colder, “I might be old, but I’m not a fool! If I sell my shares now, will you repay me?”
Knowing Attlee and Olga, they would definitely deny everything when the time came!
“Mom, I could give you a promissory note! If you lent us two–thirds of your shares, we promise to repay you!”
In fear of her refusal, Attlee quickly added, “Otherwise, if the company goes bankrupt, your 30% shares will become worthless!”
Grace looked expressionless, her voice full of bitterness, “If it weren’t for you ignoring me all these years, not even visiting me when I was sick in the hospital, even wishing me dead; if it weren’t for you hiding the fact that you sent my granddaughter away; if it weren’t for all the terrible things you’ve done, I would definitely help you.”
Attlee looked anxious hearing this and tried to say something more, but Grace cut him off abruptly.
Chapter 536
“But you guys have done so much messed up stuff to me and the people around me! Director Vince’s daughter got so scared she’s now depressed! Director Arora had a heart attack and kicked the bucket early because of you! And Casey, he’s gone bonkers because of you!”
Everyone in the room was gobsmacked. Good Lord, the Murphy family had done such terrible things?
Scared into depression? Dying young? Going mad?
This sounded like straight–up criminal stuff!
“Mom, we know we messed up in the past, but you got to give us a chance to make it right,” pleaded Olga, knelt on the floor.
But Grace replied coldly, “If I hadn’t seen your true colors, maybe I would have given you that chance.”
But they were what they were, and they’d never change!
With that in mind, Grace showed them the door. “Get out. You deal with the mess you made.”
“Mom, we’ve never asked you for anything all these years. Why won’t you help us this one time?” Olga grabbed the hem of the old lady’s dress, wouldn’t leave, and cried bitterly.
“Wasn’t I clear just now? Why won’t I help? Don’t you get it? Everything you’ve done all these years has left me heartbroken! That’s why I won’t help! You said you’ve never asked me for anything all these years, just this once? That’s because Bella has always been dealing with your problems behind the scenes! Bella did a lot for your success today! If Bella hadn’t given you resources and orders and helped you with the aftermath, would you be where you are today? But how did you treat her? Kicked her out of the house, insulted her! Always ready to beat and scold her! You drove away your lucky star, and now that you’re in trouble, you’re begging me? Forget it, I won’t help!”
Everyone present was stunned.
Even the Panter family didn’t expect that the Murphy family’s success wasn’t due to Attlee and Olga’s business skills or exceptional abilities but because Bella had given them resources and helped them solve problems!
Those who didn’t know Bella didn’t know who the old lady was talking about.
But the Murphy family, their relatives and friends, and Mr. and Mrs. Panter, Zachary, of course, knew that Bella was the adopted daughter who lived with the Murphy family for eighteen years and was finally sent away by Attlee and Olga!
They hadn’t realized her abilities were so great that she could help Attlee become the richest man in Tranquil City!
She founded QY and was a master pianist, obviously with a wide network.
Thinking about this, Mr. and Mrs. Panter regretted it deeply. If they had a daughter–in–law like Bella, the Panter family’s development would definitely be better than now!
It’s all their fault for not seeing the big picture and missing the opportunity!
In the video.
Olga was still begging, “Mom, we’re barely hung on, but you insist on leaving everything to Arabella. Is that fair to Attlee, to me, to Yoli?”
“That’s my stuff, and I give it to whoever I want. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the cops.”
In the end, no matter how much Attlee’s family cried and pleaded, the old lady had made up her mind.
Hearing what the old lady said, Attlee could only lead Olga and Yolanda away, planning to come back and ask her again after her surgery the next day.
The video should have ended there, but surprisingly, after a while, Olga came back to the ward all by herself.
Chapter 537
At first, she pleaded earnestly, but as her patience wore thin, a hint of resentment began to show in her eyes.
“I’ve treated you like family. That’s why I’ve been backing down and compromising! I’m asking you one last time: will you help me?”
Grace was also riled up, “Are you threatening me? Let me tell you,”
Before Grace could finish, Olga suddenly grabbed the old lady’s hair, her face distorted with rage, “You old bat, I’ve been polite to you all along. Do you think you’re all that? Let me tell you, you have to help me today whether you like it or not! Or else you’ll regret it!!”
“Let go of me!” Perhaps not expecting Olga to be so audacious, Grace was thoroughly enraged but couldn’t break free from Olga’s grip. She was like a tiny chicken being held up, completely powerless.
With one hand clutching Grace’s hair, Olga slapped her face with the other!
The slap echoed loudly in the quiet hospital room.
All the guests were shocked. They couldn’t believe that the same Olga who was crying her eyes out a moment ago had turned into a completely different person the next!
How could she treat a sick old lady so brutally?
Even Attlee and Yolanda couldn’t believe it. Just the night before, the three of them were thrown out of the hospital room by the old lady. As they reached the hallway, Olga suddenly claimed she had a great idea to get the old lady to help.
So they let her go back to the room to try while they waited in the car for her.
But to their surprise, she went back to the room to use violence!
“You old hag, if it weren’t for Attlee, I would have offed you a long time ago! Instead of being grateful, you’re being ungrateful! You act all high and mighty in front of me, and people might think you’re really something! Ungrateful!”
With that, Olga forcefully pushed the old lady away.
Grace hit the bedhead with her back, her whole body writhing in pain, “Help.”
“You old witch, still want to call for help? Go ahead, let’s see if you can!”
Olga covered Grace’s mouth and nose tightly. Grace was struggling to breathe.
“How does it feel to suffocate? I’m asking you one last time: will you help or not?”
The surveillance camera only caught Grace’s painful struggle on the bed and Olga’s distorted face.
Grace was too weak to break free from her daughter–in–law’s grip. The suffocating feeling was giving her heart a great shock. For a moment, she thought she was going to die!
Almost instinctively, she reached for the service bell, but Olga noticed and slapped her hand away.
“You old hag, it seems like you haven’t had enough!”
Olga moved the service bell out of reach and slapped Grace again.
Dealing with Grace was like dealing with a defenseless child, and she didn’t even need to break a sweat.
Grace, seeing stars from the slap and gasping for breath, instinctively reached for the phone under her pillow.
Olga instantly noticed her move, “Are you trying to call Arabella? You’re a sneaky one! You’re full of tricks!”
Olga tried to grab the phone, but Grace wouldn’t let her. In their struggle, Grace, frantic and angry, was pushed again, her head hitting the bed railing hard.
Olga finally snatched the phone and held it up, grinning triumphantly, “You want this?”
Chapter 538
Grace was so sapped of strength she couldn’t even stand. Staying in her fallen pose, she panted heavily for a while before struggling to her feet. She wobbled and reached out, trying to get her phone back.
But Olga? No way she was giving it back. She stepped back, laughing even more brazenly, “You want it? Tough luck!”
Grace was pissed. She had barely managed to stand on one foot when Olga figured out her plan..
“You can barely move, and think you will get help? Do you think you can even get out the door? If it weren’t for your money, I would have put you in the grave ages ago!”
Grace was still trying, her other foot barely touching the ground, when she heard Olga’s threatening warning.
“Listen up, I’m running out of patience. Tomorrow, you’re getting the folks at Solterra’s Will Depository to change your will in front of me, transferring all your assets to my name. Got it?”
Grace ignored her, finally standing on both feet, about to take a step forward.
Olga reached out, easily pushing her back onto the bed, “You heard me, right? Are you deaf, old lady?”
Olga even grabbed Grace’s ear. Grace was in pain, “Let go.”
But Olga didn’t. She got a kick out of seeing Grace in pain.
With her ear being tugged, the pain from hitting her head on the bed railing returned. She started to gasp for air.
Seeing Grace clutch her chest, Olga sneered, “That trick won’t work on me!”
This old lady could only play dead in front of Attlee. Not with her, no way!
“Did you hear me?” Olga still held her ear, threatening her.
Grace was in so much pain, she curled up like a shivering rabbit being held by its ear, completely defenseless.
Seeing Grace panting heavily with a flushed face, eyes fixed ahead, Olga realized something was wrong. She let go, and Grace immediately collapsed onto the bed, curling up even more.
“You can’t scare me. I won’t fall for that.”
Grace’s throat felt like it was being strangled by the hand of a demon. She wanted to breathe fresh air, but the oxygen in the room seemed to thin out no matter how hard she tried.
“Don’t you dare try to pin this on me! Even if you plan to kick the bucket, you better put my name on your properties first!”
Seeing Grace struggling on the bed, Olga sensed something was off. Just as she was about to leave, she saw two nurses coming this way.
Scared, Olga quickly closed the door. Grace, on the bed, heard the noise outside and tried to call for help, but she couldn’t make a sound.
She didn’t even have the energy to breathe, let alone call for help!
Finally, as the nurses‘ footsteps grew fainter, she fell into utter despair.
At this time, the nurses would be checking the rooms one by one. It would take a while before they got to her!
After the nurses left, Olga quickly made her exit, afraid of being held accountable.
Left behind in the room was the old lady’s helplessness and loneliness. She tried several times to reach the call bell but failed. She saw the phone Olga had dropped but fell off the bed trying to reach it.
Finally, when the nurses arrived, they found the old lady unconscious on the floor and quickly called a doctor.
But it was too late!
The video ended there, leaving the audience of over 600 in the hall in stunned silence. No one expected Grace to have been treated this way.
Attlee stared dumbfounded at Olga, “How dare you!”
“Attlee, let me explain.”
Chapter 539
Olga was cut off mid–sentence when an old lady’s black–and–white photo suddenly appeared on the big screen!
She screamed, “Ah! Who did this?”
Yolanda, pinned to the ground and couldn’t move, was even more frightened. Her face turned pale. How did her grandma’s picture get here? And why in black and white? Could it be that her grandma?
All the guests were shocked. Had the old lady passed away? Was her spirit here for Olga?
“Mom??” Attlee was even more startled by the enormous photo. Could his mother have passed away?
Suddenly, all the lights in the venue went out, the electronic curtains closed, and only the glow from the black–and–white photo on the big screen filled the spacious hall.
Many guests were frightened, goosebumps all over!
They wanted to leave, but the doors slammed shut and couldn’t be opened!
Then, the whole venue descended into chaos, screams, panic, and fear. It was all ears.
What on earth was happening?
Olga was shaking. Could it be that the old lady was really here for her?
No, it’s not possible. Someone must be playing a prank on her!
“The Murphy’s engagement party, how could it be without grandma?”
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the crowd.
Attlee turned towards the source of the voice and saw a familiar figure!
“Arabella, it’s you! I knew it was all your doing!” Attlee couldn’t help but express his anger. Today is your sister’s engagement party. Are you cursing your sister or grandma by showing this photo?”
“Shouldn’t we display the remembrance photo when someone passes away?” Arabella walked step by step onto the stage from the crowd, her cold eyes filled with a hint of mockery.
“So this is Arabella?”
Many guests came back to their senses. Was this the genius girl spoken of by Grace Murphy? The one who provided resources for the Murphy family, helped them through difficulties, and made them the richest family in Tranquil City?
She was as beautiful as a fairy!
Compared to Yolanda, they really were worlds apart.
Arabella’s eyes were slightly red, with a hint of cold, murderous intent, Her entire presence was strong, beautiful, and cool..
“What are you talking about?” Attlee couldn’t believe it. “What happened to your grandma? If she’s just being resuscitated, we’ll rush over as soon as the banquet/is over! You don’t have to scare us!”
Arabella’s smile was filled with sarcasm, and she seemed untouchable. “Seeing the photo, shouldn’t you kneel down and sincerely apologize to grandma? After all, you’re the ones who killed her!”
“What did you say? Your grandma is really gone?” Attlee was shocked, seemingly unable to believe it. He stared at Arabella for a long time.:
The look in the girl’s eyes was filled with hatred, and it didn’t seem like a joke.
Could the old lady really have passed away?
With that thought, Attlee seemed to crumble, covering his face, trying not to cry but unable to hold back, pacing back and forth before sobbing loudly after a couple of seconds.
Chapter 540
What the hell! How could the old lady pass away just like that?
After her death, her will came into effect, which meant all her wealth went to Arabella!
The Murphy family was screwed now!!
Attlee was so upset that he didn’t notice Arabella had stepped onto the stage and kicked Olga’s knee.
Before Olga could react, her legs gave way, and she knelt on the ground right in front of the old lady’s portrait. Arabella grabbed her hair, forcing her to kowtow ten times in a row. It happened so fast. It was astonishing. Olga’s forehead was bleeding, and she yelled, “You sneaky little. How could you!”
Arabella was just a teenager. How dare she do this to her?
Arabella kicked her down again, not wanting to hear any more of her. She stepped on Olga’s back and coldly told Mrs. Panter, “Move.”
Mrs. Panter, who was sitting on Yolanda, was taken aback. She didn’t expect Arabella’s aura to rise so high suddenly, and she instinctively moved away.
She must be here to settle scores with Yolanda. Thinking this, Mrs. Panter moved a few steps aside, afraid of getting involved.
“Sis.”
“Shout again, and I’ll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs.”
How could Yolanda not know that her mother had killed her Grandma, and Arabella was here to settle scores with their family?
But with hundreds of eyes on her, if she made a scene here, she’d definitely face legal consequences later!
Thinking this, she pretended to be innocent, “I just wanted to remind you. So many people are watching, you better let go of mom, or else.”
Arabella snatched the microphone from the host and hit Yolanda’s mouth with it.
Yolanda was suddenly hit in the mouth, and the pain made her cover it with both hands. She was even bleeding.
Arabella was such a bully!
Even Zachary was shocked by Arabella’s ruthlessness. He couldn’t believe this girl kept surprising him.
Arabella coldly looked at Yolanda, “I have no patience, kneel down and apologize to Grandma!”
“Arabella, you crazy girl.” Olga, lying on the ground, was cut off by another hard step from Arabella, almost breaking her spine.
“Arabella, don’t do anything stupid.” Attlee knew Olga was at fault, but “no matter what, the old lady is a part of the Murphy family. If anyone’s going to discipline” Olga, it should be us. It’s not your place!”
“Who says my fiancée is out of line?” A cold voice came from the stage below.
Everyone was surprised to find that the speaker was Romeo McMillian. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, “She is the granddaughter acknowledged by Grace herself and the only heir to the Murphy family! She has every right to stand here and seek justice for the old lady!”
“Mr. McMillian.” Attlee didn’t expect Arabella to bring Romeo along. He was both anxious and angry.
“Let’s see who dares to interfere.”
Romeo scanned the audience, and everyone immediately fell silent. Those who wanted to record the moment with their phones quickly put them away after hearing his words.
Romeo was a big shot, someone they couldn’t afford to mess with!
The key point was Yolanda’s behavior was out of line, making the Panter family lose face. They were actually glad someone was punishing her family!
