Chapter 95

The surrounding guests turned to look, whispering among themselves.

Thalia took a deep breath, closing her eyes momentarily. When she opened them again, they were filled with cold fury. “Grace, you did that deliberately, didn’t you?”

Grace excelled at playing the innocent victim. Her lips formed a perfect pout as she adopted a wounded expression. “Thalia, you were clearly the one not watching where you were going when you bumped into me. How can you accuse me of doing it deliberately? This is your family’s event–why on earth would I dare to intentionally collide with you?”

At that moment, Charlotte and Victoria, having spotted Thalia, were walking toward them.

“Oh, do stop the theatrics, Grace,” Victoria said bluntly, giving Grace a rough shove. “Everyone knows you’re green with envy. You deliberately spilled that wine on her to humiliate her in front of everyone.”

Grace’s eyes instantly welled with tears. “How dare you make such accusations?”

Victoria retorted indignantly: “Your behaviour at the riding grounds and at South Downs has already proven what you’re capable of. Do you honestly think we’re all blind?”

Grace appeared on the verge of tears. “What have I done?”

Victoria gave her a cold stare. “With all these people present, do you really want me to spell it out?”

“What’s happening, Grace?” Lady Blackwood approached, having heard the commotion.

Grace rushed to Lady Blackwood’s side, clutching her arm with a wounded expression, choking back sobs as she said: “Grandmother, they’re all ganging up against me.“

Thalia gave a cold laugh, finally losing her patience and confronting Lady Blackwood directly. “With Lady Blackwood protecting you, who could possibly bully you?”

“Grandmother, you see how she’s treating me?” Grace sniffled, tugging at the elderly woman’s sleeve.

Lady Blackwood exploded in anger: “Thalia Winters, don’t you dare go too far!”

“I’m going too far? Lady Blackwood, is this how you’ve raised your granddaughter? You accuse me of lacking manners and propriety–perhaps you should take a good look at what your granddaughter has been doing!” Thalia responded, then calmly instructed a nearby attendant: “Check the security footage.”

The colour drained instantly from Grace’s face.

She had specifically checked earlier and was certain there were no cameras in this area.
