Everyone was gobsmacked and all eyes were on Una!
Everyone knew the cops wouldn't be making such a big fuss and arresting someone without solid evidence.
So, it was pretty much a given that Una had hired a hitman to do some dirty work.
Staring at the cold handcuffs on her wrists, Una's world was filled with a despairing darkness.
What the hell? How did this happen?
She made sure the hitman she hired was reliable. She paid a good chunk of money, and none of this happened domestically. How on earth did it get blown wide open?
"Una! Una!"
Mr. Stirling watched as Una was taken away by the cops, his heart pounding in fright. He hurried forward only to clutch his chest in pain; his vision blacked out, and he collapsed.
"Quick! Call an ambulance!" Pale as a ghost, Frederic quickly ordered people to carry the unconscious Mr. Stirling away.
Jareth was stunned and murmuring under his breath, "Holy shit, Una got busted for murder! This is the big story of the night!"
Thaddeus watched everything unfold with a poker face, not showing any intention to assist the Stirling group.
"You pay the price if you play with lives." He said.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Una was taken away by the cops.
As she passed by Acacia, she gave her a tearful last glance.
And that glance almost broke Acacia.
"Don't take her away! She didn't kill anyone!" Acacia cried out, only to hear the sound of her dress sliding down.
Then, she felt a chill run through her body and gasps filled the room!
Her designer off-the-shoulder dress had slipped down due to sweat, leaving her in only a bandeau and underwear in front of everyone!
"Ah!" Acacia shrieked, shielding her chest with her arms in mortification.
Elspeth regretted organizing this birthday party for Acacia. It was too embarrassing.
Meanwhile, Glynnis was sipping her wine and relishing in the drama from a corner. Wild with joy, she was grinning from ear to ear at Acacia's downfall.
People were already sneaking out their phones to take photos.
"This body is nothing special, really. You made a good call breaking up with her." Jareth commented lazily with a mocking gleam in his eyes.
Thaddeus felt like their decade-long friendship had turned into a cruel joke.
He lowered his head and turned to leave.
Acacia, in her despair, stood up and called out, "Thad!"
It turned out that she forgot she was still naked and exposed her entire body to everyone!
"Oh! Look at Acacia's stomach! What are all those lines?!"
"Looks like stretch marks!"
"Those are definitely stretch marks! I've had two kids and I know what they look like!"
"Oh my God, she already has a kid and she's still pretending. This woman is truly disgusting!"
"Poor Mr. Thaddeus, at least he dodged the bullet before marrying her!"
It was over.
