Chapter 21 Lenora’s Counterattack
Livia kept blaming Rodney.
“Are you a man or not? Didn’t you see how they bullied me and Bianca just now? Why didn’t you help us? You coward!
“You wanna be the weakest among your brothers forever?”
She clattered back and forth in the lounge restlessly in her high heels, sounding very annoying.
Facing Livia’s blame, Rodney remained silent and smoked non–stop. Meanwhile, the sense of gratitude in his heart gradually disappeared.
Why did he have to be humble all the time while Jerimiah and Xander were respected by everyone?
Just because of some ridiculous bloodline?
After a long time of silence, Rodney crushed out his cigarette and spoke up slowly.
“No matter what, we must make Liliana take the blame.”
He wouldn’t allow his family to be humiliated like that!
To get the contract signed, Zavier had been standing in place and waiting for Xander for a long time.
Finally, a young man with gold–rimmed glasses and his hair slicked back walked over.
Chaplet ad imponat Countertra;
“Mr. Velez, Mr. Finley is waiting for you in the office. Please come with me.” the young man said in a flat and cold tone.
Hearing this, Zavier immediately followed him.
They walked through the crowd and went to the top floor by elevator.
Then, the young man casually opened an office and stepped aside a bit, looking at Zavier and explaining, “Mr. Finley is a bit busy. I’m not sure when he will come back. If you have something urgent to do later, you may leave first.”
With that, he turned and left indifferently.
Zavier’s face instantly darkened.
Since he became a famous, successful businessman, everyone respected
him.
It had been years since he was treated with indifference last time.
“Never mind,” he comforted himself.
He swore to himself that after the contract was signed, he would get back at everyone who had looked down on him and tell them they were wrong.
Meanwhile, the young man went back to the banquet hall and walked to Dane, whispering in his ear, “Mr. Finley, he’s up there.
“Good,” Dane responded lightly and then continued to talk with others.
Keeping Zavier waiting for nothing was just a little punishment for him. There would be more in the future.
Just at this time, the person Cecilia sent to look for Bianca’s designer had come back, with Daniel behind him.
Daniel was a male designer. When he learned that he had to show himself at the banquet, he changed into a silver suit.
With hair gel, his silver hair stood up on his head, making it look like a sea urchin.
His appearance was so eye–catching, attracting a lot of guests‘ attention.
Some onlookers immediately shouted with curiosity.
“Daniel is here! Should you start clearing the misunderstanding now?”
“Yeah! I just wanna know if it was really the designer’s mistake or Liliana’s scheme.”
“Sir Finley, they’re both your granddaughters. You must be an impartial judge in this matter!”
These malicious voices made Seth’s face turn gloomy. But he suppressed his anger and waved his hand, sighing and instructed, “Take Liliana and Bianca here.”
If this was really Daniel’s mistake, it would actually be a good thing.
But if it was done by Liliana out of her jealousy, then Seth would definitely punish her.
Now, Bianca had already changed into a new outfit, with a long black skirt and a white coat, looking pitiful and helpless.
Daniel carefully examined Bianca’s dress and analyzed, “Because this dress is made of satin fabric, to make the stitching more hidden, silk thread was used to connect the dress and the straps.
“But this kind of thread is not very durable. That’s why the straps broke all of a sudden.”
“So this is your fault?” Livia pointed at Daniel’s nose with her finger with red nail polish.
“I’ll ban you! I want you to completely disappear in the fashion industry!” Livia piped up angrily.
“No, no!” Daniel hurriedly waved his hands, refusing to take the blame. “Bianca insisted on making her dress one size smaller. She said she wanted to show off her good figure.
“I told her it was risky, but she was willing to bear the consequences herself. How was that my fault?”
Now, everyone understood what was really going on.
“So Bianca requested to make her dress one size smaller herself. Now the accident really happened, but she actually shifted the blame onto someone
else. How shameless.”
“She must wanna make herself look sexier to seduce Randall. But unfortunately, she made a fool of herself in trying to be smart.”
“So, Daniel and Liliana are her scapegoats!”
“I actually suspected Ms. Liliana Finley. How stupid I was!”
The discussions among the people around made Bianca more and more embarrassed.
Just at this time, Gary brought the surveillance footage over.
“Mr. Xander, I’ve checked the surveillance footage. From Ms. Bianca’s dress being sent home to Ms. Bianca putting it on, Ms. Liliana has never entered Ms. Bianca’s room.”
With that, Gary handed the surveillance footage to Xander.
This time. Lenora’s name was completely cleared.
Cecilia immediately counterattacked, piping up. “Well, someone has cursed and claimed that it was all Liliana’s fault! Now what?“.
Bianca knew Cecilia was talking about her and chuckled awkwardly, “Liliana and I were the only two on the stage just now. I was blinded by
my anger.
“Now the truth is out. It’s all my fault. Sorry, Liliana.”
But just as her voice fell, an unexpected thing happened again.
The thread in the back of Lenora’s dress suddenly broke.
Her dress instantly slipped down. But she quickly pressed the clothing in front of her chest, preventing her body from being exposed.
The guests around were dumbfounded.
They couldn’t help wondering. “What’s going on?
“It was Bianca previously, and now it’s Liliana?
“What is this banquet exactly? The Finley family’s strip show?”
Lenora held her dress and lowered her head.
Others couldn’t see her expression but only the perfect lines of her slender neck and delicate back.
Everyone suddenly stopped talking, only the melodious violin echoing in
the hall.
A couple of seconds later, Lenora looked up at Bianca with a look of grievance and disappointment and hugged herself tightly, saying,
to
“Bianca, like what you’ve just said. Now my dress is also broken. Should I suspect you?”
Bianca’s face was extremely gloomy.
She cursed inwardly, “Damn it! What’s wrong with this dress? Why now?”
She indeed did something to Lenora’s dress, so she was now very guilty
and nervous.
“Liliana, your dress must have the same problem as mine. It’s all the designer’s mistake…”
Seeing that Bianca wanted to shift the blame onto the designer, Lenora sneered coldly, “Bianca, my dress doesn’t have straps, and the silk isn’t some fragile one.
“Bianca, we’re sisters. I don’t wanna suspect you, but you might as well explain yourself a bit.”
Bianca instantly broke into a cold sweat.
She didn’t know if Lenora had done anything, but Bianca did something to Lenora’s dress.
If someone were to investigate it, it would definitely be found out.
At that time, everyone would know that Bianca was a vicious and jealous woman who just made a fool of herself at the banquet.
Dudley and Randall were all present. And if they also knew that, Bianca would never be able to marry into the Hart family.
