Chapter 276: Tina, Was It You?

Velma Lehman glared at everyone present, cursing under her breath. She then turned to Tina and said, "The Lehman family may not be prominent in Ashbury, but my great-uncle holds some influence here. If anyone dares to trouble you, we'll be the first to stand by you." These words weren't just Velma's own; she considered Tina her best friend and was ready to defend her, even if she lacked the means. This protective stance was actually something her grandparents and parents had insisted she adopt before coming to Ashbury. Tina had done a favor for the Lehman family, and they were determined to repay it.

Her parents were concerned about Tina's well-being in the Reed family's territory, hence Velma's declaration. They were late to the party and unaware of the earlier events. On their way there, Albert Sitwell had seen a live stream on Cactus's channel mentioning Miss Reed, which immediately set off alarms, prompting them to hurry.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, they overheard accusations of Mack being kidnapped and blamed on Tina, which Velma could not tolerate. "Bully Tina? They'll have to deal with all forty students of Class 22D first," she thought. Tina smiled slightly, "Okay."

She accepted kindness from everyone and promised to reciprocate it. The Reed family and guests were interrupted by this unexpected episode. Jasper was the first to recover, asking, "Tina, what just happened? Mack, he..." Tina's gaze turned cold, "Mr. Reed, your nephew drugged my dress and had prepared a man for some deed."

As soon as she finished, the public screen lit up again, this time showing a clear image of Mack, his face bruised, engaged in unspeakable acts with another man.

Some younger girls screamed and covered their eyes. The older attendees frowned and cursed, "This is outrageous! How does the Emerson family raise their children? Doing such things in public is disgraceful!" "There were rumors about Mr. Emerson's secrets, especially his taste in men, but this-broadcasting such filth-I'm appalled!"

"Report this! What kind of person does this?"

Tina stared at the screen, momentarily stunned. Then, looking at Jared Farrell, her eyes inquired, "Did you do this?"

Someone had attempted to kidnap her, but she had sensed it coming and let it happen to Mack instead. She hadn't expected it to end up on a live stream again.
