Chapter 190

Lillian was putting on quite the show, tears streaming down her face like she was in a dramatic movie scene. "I'm so sorry, Allison. It was just an accident when I bumped into you. I'll replace your dress, I promise. Please, don't be upset with me, alright?"

She was laying it on thick, trying to look as pitiful as possible.

Allison, however, saw right through her act. She knew Lillian was just putting on a performance for Joshua and Emily. "Oh, what a perfect little act," Allison remarked dryly. "If I don't forgive you, I'll end up looking like the bad person here."

Emily was fuming, pointing a finger at Allison and turning to Joshua. "Joshua, you see how she's treating Lillian right in front of everyone."

Joshua frowned, gently lowering Emily's hand. "Grandma, let's wait for the security footage."

Lillian started to panic.

She ramped up her tears, acting as if she'd been seriously wronged.

The guests nearby began to murmur among themselves.

Even though they kept their voices low, a few snippets of their conversation reached Allison's ears.
