Chapter 275: Ensford Arrives

The scene grew increasingly chaotic, with the situation turning against Tina. The attendees were all prominent figures in the city, unaccustomed to such humiliation. Jared Farrell surveyed the crowd, his gaze darkening. Just as he was about to react, a calm voice came from the steps, "What did I do to make you feel disregarded?"

All eyes turned to see Tina, dressed in casual attire, walking confidently toward them. She glanced around nonchalantly, "What drama did I miss?"

Tina's appearance was like a thunderclap, leaving everyone stunned. She had clearly been seen in a live video earlier but now appeared unfazed, as if she had played everyone for fools. Before the guests could voice their confusion, the live feed changed again.

The camera focused on a lounge where Mack sat in a custom-made dress, his face flushed and his mind unclear. Suddenly, someone burst into the room, grabbed Mack by the neck, and dragged him away. The guests were bewildered. What was happening? Was that a kidnapping? Why would anyone kidnap Mack? He had no money and wasn't favored by Hawk. Even if they kidnapped him to extort money from Hawk, Hawk probably wouldn't pay for his release! "Wait! Something's wrong! Mack seems to be wearing Miss Reed's dress!" someone finally noticed and spoke up.

The crowd remembered that when Mack was taken away, he was wearing a dress. The Reed family's stylist had posted about this unique and perfect dress online, garnering much envy at the time. Many people recognized it immediately as the one Mack was wearing.

Someone suddenly spoke up, "So those people were actually trying to kidnap Miss Reed? Mr. Emerson got caught up in it?"

"What's wrong with Miss Reed that Mr. Emerson gets kidnapped at her party?"

The Reed family members looked visibly upset at the murmurs of the crowd.
