Chapter 74
“I’m teaching you a lesson!” Hera forcefully pulled her hand away. Harming Catherine was challenging her limits!
“You!” Giselle staggered back
Zyler, who had come out to find Giselle, witnessed the scene. “Gigi”
He rushed over and supported Giselle. Noticing the red handprint on Giselle’s face, he glared angrily at Hera. “Hera Youngworth!”
Hera ignored him, focusing on Catherine, “Grandma, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Catherine assured her, shaking her brad.
“Why are you here?
Hera inquired.
“I had some errands to run and thought I’d check on you,” Catherine explained.
For the first time, Zyler felt what it was like to be ignored, especially by a country bumpkin like Hera. He couldn’t quite describe the feeling in his heart.
“Well done, Hera, you’ve successfully caught my attention!” he thought.
Zyler’s gaze shifted to Catherine. “Where did this beggar come from? How dare she intrude into the Gaskell family’s territory! Security, get her out of here!”
Hera seemed to care a lot about Catherine, so he would start with her!
“Zee, no, she’s Hera’s grandmother.” Giselle immediately stopped Zyler.
Several of her classmates had been watching the scene behind Zyler, When security was called, it alarmed even more people at the banquet.
Fearing Hera might expose their identities publicly, Giselle acted quickly to announce their relationship in front of everyone.
“Didn’t Mrs. Gaskell just kick her out? Why is she still here, and why did she bring her grandmother?”
“Are they here to freeload off the food and drinks? Well, country bumpkins don’t know their place.”
“These peasants are embarassing.”
“Get them out quickly. Their presence is ruining the mood for everyone”
The onlookers began gossiping
After publicly announcing their relationship, Giselle continued, “Zee, I’m sorry, I accidentally lost the diamond bracelet you gave me. I was anxious, so I asked the maids to help
“They mentioned seeing this lady with a similar bracelet here. I just wanted to ask her about it, but then Hera.” As she spoke, she sorrowfully covered her face and numed to Loveal the area where she’d been slapped.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed something hanging from the edge of Gatherine’s canvas bag
Zyler stepped forward and pulled it forcefully. The canvas bag fell, revealing a sparkling diamond bracelet–the same one he had given Giselle!
“You” Catherine glanced at the bracelet on the ground, then at Giselle.
she couldn’t believe it. Despite her young age, Giselle’s ability to twist the truth was impressive, leaving Catherine feeling conflicted.
“The evidence is right here. Do you have anything else to say?” Zyler picked up the bracelet, glaring at Hera
