Chapter 281: Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Menu The surrounding guests glanced at each other and gossiped.

Mariela took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, they were icy. “Lauryn, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Lauryn was best at pretending to be innocent. She pouted pitifully. “Marie, it’s clear you bumped me just now. Why did you say I was intentional? This is your place, so how could I intentionally bump you?”

Caylee and Fiona also saw Mariela walking over.

“Lauryn, cut it out.” Fiona pushed Lauryn rudely.“We all know you’re jealous of Mariela. You deliberately spilled a glass of red wine on her to embarrass her in public.”

Lauryn’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, “Why would you say that?”

Fiona exclaimed indignantly, “What you did at the racetrack and on Whiteface Mountain before has proven this point. Do you think we are blind?”

Lauryn was about to cry.“What did I do?”

Fiona stared at her coldly and said, “In front of so many people, do you want me to speak the truth?”

“What’s wrong, Lauryn?” Bella walked over upon hearing their conversation.

Lauryn took a few steps and stood in front of Bella, grabbing her arm with a look of grievance. She sniffled and said, “Grandma, they ganged up on me and bullied me.”

Mariela sneered and couldn’t bear it anymore. She said in front of Bella, “With Bella protecting you, who can bully you?”

“Grandma, look at her,” Lauryn had a lump in her throat and tugged at Bella’s sleeve.

Bella angrily said, “Mariela, don’t push it!”

“Really? Bella, is this how you discipline your granddaughter? You say I’m rude, but take a good look at what your granddaughter has done!”

After Mariela finished speaking, she calmly said to the waiter next to her, “Go and get the surveillance footage.”

-Lauryn’s face turned pale in an instant.

She was sure there was no surveillance here.

Mariela’s sharp gaze swept towards her. It seemed Mariela knew what was going on in Lauryn’s mind. Mariela sneered and said, “Do you there is no surveillance here? It’s such a large banquet hall and so many people are here. Think about it! There must be surveillance here.”

Mariela raised her hand and pointed at some places, “There, there, and there are all surveillance cameras. The cameras are designed as decorations, but they are the most advanced ones on the market, with a 360–degree view. I’m curious how you are going to argue.”
