Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 24

The party hall was buzzing with noise. The Jennings family, who had been so smug, now felt nothing but shame.

The guests‘ looks of mockery and disdain made them feel like pariahs, with no one willing to come near them.

This scene was supposed to be directed at Briar, as per Edgar’s plan.

But now, they were the punchline–squirming, burning, forced to eat dirt.

And they had no escape.

Edgar had someone try to turn off the big screen, but somehow, it just wouldn’t shut off.

Even when someone unplugged the power, the screen kept looping the footage dutifully.

Just as everyone was in an uproar, a clear, shocked voice came from the staircase, “Oh my gosh! Sis, you… you guys…”

The voice trembled with shock and sorrow.

Most onlookers, even though knowing they should probably steer clear to avoid making the hosts more awkward, just stayed put to keep watching the drama unfold, apart from a few who left the party with their children.

Halfway through the drama, the plot just got messier.

Thus, they decided they gotta keep watching.

So when another female voice chimed in, everyone’s ears perked up.

The video on the big screen, which initially grabbed everyone’s attention, also started with a woman’s voice.

Thus, everyone turned in the direction of the sound, only to see a graceful young lady pop up on the staircase.

Dressed in a pure white gown, her long hair simply tied into a high ponytail, she looked elegant with her long neck and sexy collarbone. The slightly loose dress couldn’t hide her curvy body.

Right now, she was leaning on the railing with one hand, the other covering her mouth, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at the big screen.

Clearly, she too had been stunned by the spectacle on the screen.

As she was calling Beatrice “Sis,” it wasn’t hard to guess that this young lady was the main character of the party, Briar Jennings.

Just then, the dialogue between the male and female leads in the video played, catching the girl off guard, her face gradually turning pale.
