Chapter 37 Are You Questioning Me?

Elizabeth and Amber were completely stunned by the unexpected turn of events, finding themselves momentarily unable to utter a single word. Neither of them had anticipated that Jared would retrieve the surveillance footage, especially from a blind spot where no cameras should have been installed. Who had placed the camera there? It was infuriating!

But now, Elizabeth had no time to ponder who had installed the camera; she had to resolve the situation at hand. As she was thinking of a way to handle the matter, suddenly, someone among the guests spoke up, "I never imagined that a Miss Ensford could harbor such malice. To drug her own adopted sister, what was she trying to do? Kill Miss Reed?"

"She wouldn't dare to kill, but she dares to tarnish a girl's reputation. Haven't you noticed? Elizabeth and Amber came to catch someone in the act. What does that tell you? They want to hand Miss Reed over to Mr. Farrell." "Tsk tsk! I've seen my share of dark deeds in wealthy families, but such malevolence is a first for me. To drug her own granddaughter for the Farrell family's fortune and to give her away, my eyes have truly been opened."

"Indeed. The surveillance might show that Amber instructed the nanny to drug her, but who can ensure Mrs. Reed wasn't involved? Just look at the way Hugo's family is treated; surely Mrs. Reed dislikes Tina and doesn't want to give up the Farrell family's dowry. That must be why she's trying to send her own granddaughter away... We better steer clear of the Reed family from now on; who knows, we might get framed next."

The guests had remained silent since the incident began, merely observing quietly. However, once the surveillance footage was played, they could no longer hold back their discussions. Moreover, they spoke loudly enough for Elizabeth to hear. Elizabeth's heart twisted in pain as she listened to their comments. Today, she had truly shot herself in the foot, and the Reed family had lost all face. But she was accustomed to handling difficult situations, and with a deep breath, she stood up and confessed, "It was me. I ordered Amber to administer the drug."

The situation had reached a point where she could only protect Amber. As long as Amber's reputation remained intact, the Reed family could still shine in the future. Those who laughed at her today would look up to the Reed family in days to

come.

Upon hearing this, the guests looked unsurprised. Elizabeth approached Tina with a condescending air, "I don't like you, just as I don't like your mother. You two are a disgrace to my Reed family. Yet, since your father brought you back, I have acknowledged you as my granddaughter."

Tina watched her emotionlessly as she continued, "Look at yourself, raised in the mountains, without manners or education. Being engaged to Mr. Farrell is your good fortune. Besides, the original engagement was yours. You refused to marry, but wanted Amber to do it instead. How could she marry while still in school?"
