Chapter 22 An Unexpected Accident
“Liliana, just forget it. okay? I don’t care if I’m misunderstood. Let’s not waste everyone’s time here…” Bianca pretended to be considerate.
“No!” Seth hit his cane on the floor hard solemnly. “If we have a problem. within the family, we must solve it on the spot so that the family can keep living in peace.”
Then, he looked around at the guests.
He claimed, “Sorry for wasting your time. We’ll hold a banquet again in the future to make amends.”
Seth still insisted on clearing the misunderstanding on the spot, which impressed many people.
“I’m really impressed by Sir Finley. Not many people are willing to let outsiders know about their family affairs. But Sir Finley is different!”
“Liliana was wronged right after she was found back. Of course, Sir Finley must help her this time. He can’t disappoint her, can he?”
“Lucky that I came today. What a drama.”
Xander also wanted to help Lenora, so he asked Gary to get the surveillance footage of the entrance of Lenora’s bedroom.
Gary wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he just handed Xander the USB drive that he had already prepared.
He had watched the footage and captured the scene of Bianca secretly breaking into Lenora’s room.

Gary originally planned to hand it over to Xander after the banquet. He also didn’t expect that things would have become like this.
Dane asked someone to fetch a laptop and insert this USB drive into it, intending to play the video in front of all the guests.
At this time, Bianca was so anxious that her forehead was already covered
in cold sweat.
If she stopped them now, it would be like she admitted that she did it.
But if she didn’t stop them, she would also be screwed.
After thinking about it, Bianca threw her cautiontothewind and secretly
sent a text to someone.
Seeing Bianca’s secret move, Lenora curled up her lips into a cold sneer. Just as she was about to press the play button, she was suddenly pushed from behind.
That person used a lot of strength, and Lenora felt like her waist wast broken.
There must be some hatred in that push!
Lenora fell uncontrollably.
Xander and Cecilia were shocked and instinctively reached out to grab Lenora. But they missed it.
“Liliana!”
“Liliana!”
It happened so suddenly that no one could react in time..

Lenora also didn’t expect that someone would push her at this time.
Now, she was facing a big problem.
What she was about to hit was a 1.7–meter–high champagne tower.
If she fell on it, the tower would collapse, and the champagne glasses would break into pieces and cut her skin, probably even disfigure her.
But if she raised her hand to cover her face, her dress would slip down, exposing her body
But after a second of thought, she still raised her hand and covered her face quickly.
She wore underwear anyway, so she wasn’t that afraid of being seen. Being disfigured was much worse than that.
Just as she was prepared to be cut by glass shards, she suddenly saw a tall figure dashing over.
It was Randall!
The next second, she fell into a warm embrace.
Randall quickly took off his suit and wrapped Lenora in it. A faint mint. scent instantly wafted into Lenora’s nose.
Crash!
The champagne tower fell, and glasses smashed on them. Instantly, pale yellow champagne mixed with sharp glass pieces splattered everywhere.
“Ahhh!”
“Be careful with those glasses!”

“Help!”
Screams and yells echoed in the banquet hall.
Lenora was protected in Randall’s arms. The thick suit jacket kept every hurt from her. All she could hear was Randall’s muffled groans and
heartbeat.
He was injured!
Lenora’s heart sank.
Randall shielded Lenora, so those glass shards had all hit Randall’s body.
“Are you okay?” Lenora struggled to sit up and worriedly looked at Randall who was lying on the ground, reaching out to help him up.
She thought she would have a disaster.
Unexpectedly, Randall, who she had only met once, saved her.
Randall was now disheveled, and blood seeped through his white shirt. His brow furrowed, and his thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was enduring great pain at the moment.
His usual dominance and indifference were nowhere to be seen now. The open collar revealed his fair and delicate skin, looking so beautiful yet fragile.
Lenora immediately shook her head, clearing her mind.
The man who saved her was still in pain. She couldn’t let her thoughts run wild at this moment.
“Call an ambulance!” Lenora turned her head and shouted at the Finley family.

Seeing that Lenora was safe and sound, Cecilia breathed a heavy sigh of relief and then immediately called for an ambulance.
At the same time, Xander’s sharp gaze fell on the culprit who pushed. Lenora–Edward!
Xander saw it clearly.
It was Edward who lunged out and pushed Lenora.
The next second, a loud slap echoed in the banquet hall.
Xander slapped Edward.
“Dad…” Edward looked at Xander in disbelief, tears slowly welling up in his eyes.
In the past, no matter how angry Xander was, and no matter what punishment he gave Edward, he would never hurt Edward’s self–esteem. let alone slap Edward in the face.
But now…
Another slap landed on Edward’s other cheek.
“Trying to hurt your own sister? How dare you?” Xander roared and kicked Edward in his abdomen.
As a result, Edward flew backward and hit the wall, curling up his body in pain.
He felt pain in his body, but he felt his heart ached even more.
Xander stared at Edward coldly, hissing, “You should be glad that Liliana is fine. Otherwise, I would rather not have you as my son and kick you out of the Finley family!”
With that, Xander hurriedly strode to Lenora’s side. The anger on his face. instantly disappeared, and worry and self–blame appeared instead.
“Liliana, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Lenora slightly shook her head, her eyes fixing on Randall. “Randall saved me and protected me from those glass shards.”
If it weren’t for Randall, Lenora would definitely be hurt all over.
“Randall. thank you so much!” Xander hurriedly held Randall up, his eyes filled with gratitude. “If you need my help in the future, just let me know! I’ll definitely do my best!”
Randall saved Xander by saving Lenora. To repay Randall, Xander would do anything.
“It’s nothing. Xander.” Randall withdrew his arm from Lenora’s hands and curled up his lips slightly. “Don’t mention it. It’s good that Ms. Finley didn’t get hurt.”
Lenora’s body stiffened..
She could feel Randall’s rejection of her.
But since that was the case, why did he risk his own life to save her?
“The ambulance is here! Hurry up!” Cecilia shouted.
The ambulance had finally arrived.
The medical staff carried the stretcher in and then carried Randall out.
Xander keenly noticed that Lenora also got hurt.
A large piece of glass had pierced into her right ankle, blood streaming
down non–stop.

Xander exclaimed, “Liliana, your ankle is bleeding! You need to go to the hospital as well!”
