Carolina couldn't help but snap back at Jonah, her anger boiling over, "Isn't all of this because of that spoiled brat of a granddaughter you dote on? Even when she's not here, she still manages to stir up trouble for me! She publicly revealed this photo at Keira and Lance's engagement party. Can't you see what she's trying to do?! She's out for revenge, trying to ruin the engagement, to get back at us. All you're doing now is mocking us, why don't you spend some time reining in that menace of a child!"
"What the hell are you saying, twisting the truth like this and still having the audacity to act so righteous? This photo, did Chloe force Keira to take it? Did Chloe force Keira to send it to her? Who's the one with a strong desire for revenge? Lance wanted to break up with her, did she say anything? When Lance started seeing Keira, did she keep bothering them? Look at this photo! Keira sent her intimate photo with Lance to Chloe, clearly trying to stir up trouble. I agree with Chloe, Keira is shameless! She purposely makes others uncomfortable, and people can't fight back? Who do you guys think you are? The center of the universe?" Jonah said.
Carolina was livid, her chest heaving, "She can get revenge on anyone she wants, but why did she have to choose today of all days?"
"You guys are so full of yourselves! Always thinking about bullying others! If she didn't choose today, when should she have done it?" Jonah couldn't stand being in the same room with Carolina any longer. He glared at everyone present, his eyes finally landing on Nick. "What use is there for someone like you in this family?!"
Nick looked terribly upset, but with all the recent happenings, he was left speechless.
Jonah shot him a glare, then turned and left, escorted out by the butler.
In the car outside the hotel, Grover was seething, his face as grim as could be. Lauretta tried to comfort him, "Why are you so angry? Keira didn't do anything to hurt Lance."
Grover's eyes widened, "Well, that's up for debate! Just the fact that she sent that photo to Chloe to show off is enough for me to lose respect for her! Isn't that just like a mistress trying to replace the wife? Chloe didn't provoke them, but look at her, purposely stirring up trouble! She even had the audacity to send that kind of photo, what the hell is she thinking? Has she no shame?"
Lauretta's face lost its calm, she stammered, "Well, women. They always have their little schemes. It's normal."
Grover fell silent for a moment, and when Lauretta looked up, she saw him giving her a sarcastic look.
Grover scoffed, "She's now married to Lance, and became the lady of the Olson family. Do you like her immature schemes? Careful, she might end up causing you harm without you even realizing."
Lauretta's heart skipped a beat at his words, a chill running down her spine, "What are you talking about? This is just women being jealous of each other, what does it have to do with me? Keira is talented and brings luck to people, why can't we forgive her for this behavior?"
