Rose couldn't believe her eyes. Just moments ago, she had deliberately bumped into Arabella, causing the cupcake she was
holding to fall to the ground, and now the whole debacle was playing out on the big screen.
She stood frozen for a good while before turning to the servant beside her in disbelief.
The servant was terrified; she had deleted the surveillance footage as per Rose's instructions. How on earth had this girl managed
to recover it and even project it for all to see?
The guests around them began to murmur and gossip.
"So, it was that young lady who bumped into her on purpose, and then she had the nerve to accuse the other girl of doing it
deliberately. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?"
“And she demanded a public apology. That's just too much."
"If it weren't for this girl knowing how to recover the surveillance footage, she would never have been able to clear her name, even
with a hundred explanations."

"I've heard that Rose has been spoiled rotten since she was little, always acting so high and mighty. This seems like something she
would do"
Bess stood nearby, stunned and burning with embarrassment. She couldn't believe that someone Eunice had brought along
actually had sskills, even being able to recover surveillance footage.
Calvin, Arlen, and Teresa watched the scene unfold from a distance, each feeling a profound sense of embarrassment.
Trying to frsomeone without covering all her bases and now being publicly humiliated?
"It seems to have been a misunderstanding.” Bess had to step in, offering a diplomatic smile. "Rose, did you have a bad night's
sleep? Maybe you were just a bit distracted and didn't see Arabella there."
Rose had no choice but to take the out given to her, nodding her head pitifully. "Maybe | just remembered it wrong. I've been so
forgetful lately."
“You mentioned Arlen wanted a lemon bar, right? Why don't you go get a couple more and bring them to him so he doesn't have to
wait?"
Arabella, not willing to let them off the hook so easily, said coldly, "Framing someone and not even apologizing?"
Before Bess could speak, Arabella continued with an icy expression, "Is this how Teresa teaches her granddaughter? To do wrong
and then just run away with an excuse?"
Bess hadn't expected her niece to be so petty and unforgiving.
“I'm sorry for misunderstanding you earlier." Rose, seeking to keep the peace, admitted her fault reluctantly. "I didn't mean to
bump into you."
“All these people saw that you were the one who initiated the contact. You say it wasn't on purpose? Then what would you call
intentional?"
Faced with Arabella's retort, Rose was at a loss for words.
“Exactly, it was clearly intentional."
"It's so obvious, even a fool could see it."
“That's just bullying!"

“If the young one doesn't know any better, shouldn't the older one?"
As the criticisms around them grew louder, Bess found herself in a difficult position and finally said, "Rose was in the wrong, and as
her grandmother, | apologize on her behalf."
Rose clenched her teeth and lowered her head, "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future."
Only then did Arabella give them a nonchalant glance and walk away.
Outside the villa was a beautiful garden.
Arabella wanted to look around for any clues, but she had only taken a few steps when she was stopped.
“Hi, I don't think I've seen you around before. Who are you here with?"
The young man speaking held a sincere and shy gaze as he introduced himself, "My name's Burnell Sullivan. I'm here with my
mom for Mr. Arlen's birthday party. Are you Mr. Arlen's granddaughter?"
"Noy Arabella replied tersely. "Darren Griffith's my grandpa."
