FreeNovelHis tone was unyielding and merciless.
Everyone knew that Romeo was a man with a vicious streak. When he said he would make someone pay, it wasn't just idle talk.
Bruno, standing nearby, hurried forward, "Mr. McMillian, there must be smisunderstandings. Sweetie, what do you know?
Speak up. What's going on here? Please, take schampagne to soothe your throat while | talk to her. The kid's surely been led
astray."
Overhearing this, Serena, who stood not far away, urgently said to Martin by her side, "We need to leave, now."
"No way, you've been humiliated, and | can't just stand by and watch. Who made you fall over? And what about those wine stains
on your dress?"
"Let's go hand talk about it." Serena was running out of time, fearing that any second, Lindsay would spill the beans, and she
wouldn't be able to leave at all.
"How can | just swallow this insult?" Martin fumed. As long as he thought of how Serena was covered in cake and wine, sprawling
on the floor in utter disarray, he would be so furious that he wished to tear the perpetrator to pieces.

"Are you deaf?" Serena tugged at him, "I'm tired, | want to go hand rest. Are you coming or not?"
"Why hide from them?" Martin glanced over at Romeo, then back at her, "Was it them? Was it Romeo? Or your sister? I'll clear this
up with them."
"Martin!"
Before Serena could set things straight with him, Bruno was already berating his daughter in a low, angry voice, "Do you want to
ruin us? Can't you see Mr. McMillian is waiting? Speak up, or the Marsh family is finished!"
Lindsay, knowing the extent of Romeo's power and ruthlessness, finally caved in and told the whole story.
"It was Serena, she toldthis herself. We were close friends. She said she and Mr. McMillian were truly in love, but Jamie Noelle
interfered and stole his love."
The guests were stunned by the revelation.
So it was true.
The engagement between the Collins and the McMillian families was real, and Jamie Noelle had indeed meddled with their
relationship.
What a juicy piece of gossip in the world of the wealthy families.
On one side was the pretty but vain heiress, and on the other, a talented and beautiful artist. No wonder Romeo would choose the
latter.
Though that's what people thought, no one dared to speak their mind or show any disrespect to Romeo. They all just stood by to
watch the unfolding silently.
Romeo smirked coldly. Again, Serena.
Arabella was left speechless. Serena, always up to her tricks, never failed fooling one person after another. When would it cto
an end?
"Bring Serena to me," Arabella instructed a servant.
The servant, having worked for the Eugene family for years, obeyed Arabella as if she were Eugene's own granddaughter.

Seeing the servant approach, Serena angrily shook off Martin's hand, "If you won't leave, | will!"
Then she tried to to escape the scene at a run.
However, She was stopped as the servant instructed via earpiece all the other servants to block her path. Soon enough, Serena
was brought to Arabella.
"Did you tell Lindsay that you and Romeo were in love? That | was the one who cbetween you?" Arabella asked with a hint of
amusement, facing the liar before her.
In front of Romeo, Serena dared not lie, but with all the guests watching, she didn't want to be humiliated either.
Getting a brainstorm all of a sudden, she slapped Lindsay across the face.
Lindsay was stunned. What was happening??
Even Lindsay's father, Bruno, was confused, "What's wrong with you? You think just because you're the Collins heiress you can do
whatever you like? Lindsay is my precious girl, it's not your place to slap her."
"Lindsay, | can't believe you'd go this far!" Serena lashed out in feigned anger.
