In the corridor, many people were heading towards a room.
Beatrice was leading them, with Arabella and Octavia flanking her on either side.
Loads of guests were trailing behind her.
Dorian and Cordelia were squished at the back of the crowd, each of them clutching Thaddeus by the hand, looking worried sick.
Up front, Arabella was matching Beatrice’s pace, and said to her in a voice everyone could hear, "Granny, don't be mad, I might have heard wrong. My sister wouldn’t do something like that."
Beatrice shot her a glance and said, “You’re still defending her at this point? Arabella, you’re my top-notch granddaughter, but why are you always batting for Vivienne since she’s back? Today is Octavia’s birthday party, and Vivienne dares to do this at home, she’s absolutely insulting me.”
Although she said that, excitement was more visible on Beatrice’s face than anger.
Yes! Excitement!
After today, Vivienne must marry Percival!
Arabella wouldn’t have to marry a disabled guy, and the Ellington family could get some money, thinking about this, she was over the moon.
“It might be a misunderstanding!” Arabella, hiding the glint in her eyes, said, “My sister went to change clothes, maybe Mr. Ellington had something to discuss with her.”
“What misunderstanding?” Beatrice said indignantly, “You’re too soft-hearted! Mr. Ellington initially proposed to you, but when Vivienne came back, he fell for her. They’re the ones who messed up, but you became the victim.”
Beatrice glanced at the guests around them, raising her voice a bit, “Do you remember what they just said about you? Said you were delusional, he’s Vivienne’s fiancé yet you claimed he’s yours.”
Arabella dropped her gaze, tears welling up in her eyes, biting her lip, her voice was a bit choked, “Granny, I don’t care about those rumors.”
“But I care!” Beatrice said sternly, “Vivienne is my blood granddaughter, but I always side with the one who’s right. She’s arrogant and domineering, and now she’s causing a scene at the Hawthorn family’s party, I’ll teach her a good lesson today.”
Dorian and Cordelia at the back of the crowd were frantic, they wanted to explain, but Beatrice and Arabella didn’t give them a chance to butt in.
As they were talking, they arrived at the room.
Beatrice ordered directly, “Open the door.”
She couldn’t wait to see what was going on inside.
Not just her, everyone else was eager as well.
Mr. Ellington and Ms. Vivienne had an affair!
This would definitely be trending news tomorrow!
Everyone hurriedly whipped out their phones ready to snap a pic.
Just then, the door swung open.
Everyone was stunned, eyes widened in surprise.
Was this what Beatrice was talking about, Ms. Vivienne and Mr. Ellington having sex?
The people in bed were her son Joseph and the Hawthorn family’s nanny!
They were butt naked, tangled together in a difficult position, the scene was absolutely thrilling!
“Joseph!” Octavia, like a madwoman, grabbed Joseph’s hair and started hitting him like crazy.
Joseph felt his head spinning. But his body felt worse, it was like a million ants were biting him.
His head was filled with one thought, he needed a woman!
