*Zee, maybe we should drop it. We found the bracelet, so there’s no need to make a scene,” Giselle urged Zyler.

If they saw the surveillance footage, it would ruin her reputation, and she’d be done for

“Gigl, you’re too kind. Don’t worry, I won’t let her bully you again,” Zyler assured her.

The builer quickly retrieved the surveillance footage and played it publicly with a projector. The surveillance footage not only captured video but also recorded audio

The footage showed Giselle dragging Catherine to the backyard aggressively and revealing the Everett family’s hidden secrets.

Was Hera actually the Everett Lamily’s biological kin? But they had announced her to be their adopted daughter!

The diamond bracelet was accidentally dropped during the foss, and it hung on Catherine’s canvas bag! Seeing this, there was a commotion in the crowd.

“Giselle Everett! James trembled in anger.

He thought Hera had caused trouble again when Zyler wanted to play the surveillance footage. He never expected Giselle, whom he was always so proud of, to expose the family’s lies!

And it all happened in public! The reputation of their family and their company was ruined!

Integrity was crucial in the business world. Regardless of the reasons for publicly announcing Hera’s adoption, it was dishonesty.

“Dad” Giselle saw James’s threatening gaze and broke out into a cold sweat.

She then glanced at Queenie, whose eyes were sharp, like she was looking at an enemy. Just because of her irrational actions, she had offended both the Gaskell and Everett

Giselle didn’t know what to do. She could only place her last hope on Zyler. But all she faced was his shocked and disappointed gaze.

“Is everything you said true? Zyler asked incredulously. He could have overlooked Giselle’s identity, but she had never told him.

She made him publicly humiliate Hera based on her identity, and now he realized he was the fool!

“Zee, …” Giselle’s face turned red, then pale, then red again like a spinning wheel of colors. She didn’t know how to face the situation, so she pretended to faint

Because of the commotion, the guests thought the banquet was about to end. But Little did they know it was just the beginning

Suddenly, the projected screen went black, and another video started playing.

“Mrs. Gaskell, please spare us. We really didn’t say anything” in the video, a tied–up mother and daughter were begging Queenie for mercy.

The background was the same as in the previous video, in the backyard. It indicated it was from the same surveillance angle, just at an earlier time.

Chaos erupted once more in the banquet hall. Queenie’s expression shined, and forsaking her image, she rushed over to unplug the projector. “Who authorized access to the surveillance?!” she demanded, her teeth clenched.

“Lasked Larry to do it,” the butler confessed, looking flustered Wasn’t this footage deleted before? How did it suddenly reappear?

Just then, a swarm of media reporters barged into the banquet hall.

“Mrs Gaskell, can you clarity what the mother and daughter did wrong in the video? Why were they treated like that?”

“Mrs. Gaskell, are you aware that restricting personal freedom is against the law?”

“Where are the mother and daughter now?”

The scene turned into a chaotic mess.

The guests didn’t want to get involved in the trouble, so they left one by one
