Darling，No More Hiding novel Chapter 8

Jennifer's words caused everyone's eyes to widen in astonishment, while Juliet became so overwhelmed with rage that she lost all control of her composure.

“You retard! What the hell are you saying? You tore my dress to shreds!”

Juliet belatedly realized after her outburst that the crowd was giving her odd looks.

Suddenly, she remembered the whole purpose of tonight's event. A birthday celebration was no place for her to call someone a retard, let alone one celebrating her date's grandfather.

Lifting her eyes, Juliet met Montgomery's furious gaze.

“I-I...” she stammered, trying to justify her actions.

However, Jennifer began wailing before she could say anything.

She crumpled to the floor, sobbing so hard that she was struggling to catch her breath.

“Madam shouted at me! She called me a retard!”

Putting on such a scene not only furthered Jennifer's plan to humiliate Juliet but also convinced the crowd of her alleged intellectual disability.

Montgomery's heart broke at Jennifer's waterworks. Paying no heed to his status, he knelt beside her and coaxed, “Jennifer, don't be upset. You're the smartest girl I know.”

“Of course! Mrs. White is the smartest!”

“You're right!”

The crowd chimed in with words of encouragement, recognizing an opportunity at brown-nosing the White family patriarch.

Jennifer sniffed and said accusingly, “You're all a bunch of liars! Madam called me a retard, so I must be a retard!” She pouted and continued crying.

“She's the true retard. Where's security? Get this retard out of here!” After comforting her, Montgomery called for security.

Two black-clad security guards showed up instantly, flanking Juliet, who began panicking.
