Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

What was supposed to be a great party just fizzled out, leaving the Jennings family as the laughingstock of the elite circle.

Everyone got hush gifts from the Jennings family, so they wouldn’t spill the beans outside, but the Jenningses went all out to invite every big shot they

could.

So, this thing was pretty much common knowledge among the elites now.

After seeing off all the guests, Edgar hurried the staff to clean up the hall while he took Camden upstairs to check on Halle and Beatrice. The mother and daughter were bawling their eyes out in the room.

Especially Beatrice, her eyes were all puffy. Tonight was a major embarrassment for her. Not only was she exposed, but she also lost favor with the Hargreaves family. Marrying Javier now seemed impossible.

She couldn’t forget how his mom looked at her like she was some shameless hussy.

She worked so hard for years to win Javier’s heart, and now it was all ruined, totally ruined!

“Dad, you gotta find out who’s behind this to frame me!” Seeing Edgar come in, Beatrice cried and rushed over, her face twisted with rage. “Twon’t let him off!y’ll kill him!”

“Alright, alright, don’t cry, Beatrice. It’s not your fault. You and Javier were genuinely in love, just the way it got out was wrong. Your dad will make it right. Don’t cry.” Halle also cried as she came over and hugged her daughter.

Edgar felt bad too. Their well–laid plan was ruined, not only losing a great catch like Javier, but also having his daughter’s video out there. Who knew what people were saying about them now?

“Dad will look into it. You two stop crying. Crying won’t solve anything. What’s important is figuring out how to fix this.” Edgar patted Beatrice’s head gently, trying to comfort her.

Beatrice was his favorite daughter. He invested a lot in her upbringing. Now that she’d been set up like this, as a father, he was naturally furious.

But it was not the time to cry now. They needed to find that person behind this and get that video back.

Otherwise, if the video got out, it was gonna be a constant worry.

The Jennings family had already lost face once. They couldn’t let the video leak.

Luckily, tonight’s guests were all big names. No one sneaked a recording.
