In the video, Selina Hughes was looking around, seemingly searching for someone. After Talia Rhodes appeared, Selina Hughes immediately took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter and hurriedly headed straight towards Talia Rhodes. The closer she got to Talia Rhodes, the faster Selina Hughes moved, until she collided with Talia Rhodes. The glass left her hand, red wine spilled, and everyone knew what happened next. From the surveillance video, it was clear who was at fault. Selina Hughes intentionally collided with Talia Rhodes. The crowd sighed and began chattering again. Someone was recording the video on their phone just as it was being played. It’s expected that this surveillance video will soon appear on the internet. The scene of wealthy ladies pulling each other’s hair is even more entertaining than a New Year’s comedy sketch. Some do it for the views, some for the spectacle, but in any case, this video is bound to go viral online. Outside the screening room, Adrian Jennings made a call to Mrs. Jennings. Mrs. Jennings and Selina Hughes had not come to watch earlier. Now that the truth was clear, they had to apologize to Talia. The call was answered by Aunt Gu, who was responsible for taking care of Mrs. Jennings. "Young Master, the old lady’s ailment has acted up, and she’s on her way to the hospital now." "What a coincidence?" Adrian Jennings clearly didn’t believe it. Aunt Gu calmly glanced at Mrs. Jennings sitting beside her. The old lady signaled her with her eyes. Aunt Gu lied smoothly, "Yes, Young Master, you and the old lady had a dispute just now, and she got angry and felt unwell at heart. You know, the old lady can’t handle stress." Adrian Jennings was silent for a moment. "Where’s Selina Hughes? Let her answer the phone." With the phone on speaker, Selina Hughes shook her head vigorously at Aunt Gu after hearing this. So Aunt Gu said, "Miss Hughes is not in our car, and I don’t know where she is now." "Ha." Adrian Jennings laughed coldly, "It’s really interesting. Since neither of them are answering the phone, they’ll just have to apologize to Talia in person at her home." Talia went upstairs to change her clothes. Adrian Jennings was making phone calls alone in the garden outside. On the way back to the banquet hall, Adrian Jennings ran into Shawn Rhodes. Updates are released by ⓝovelFire.net After finishing his business, Shawn Rhodes was informed by the estate supervisor about what had just happened in the banquet hall. He went to find Mrs. Jennings seeking an explanation, only to be told she and Selina Hughes had long left. He then came to find Adrian Jennings. Shawn Rhodes’s expression was angry, "Adrian, what happened in the banquet hall just now? Why were your grandmother and sister bullying Talia?" Adrian Jennings lowered his stance, speaking sincerely, "Uncle, I’m sorry. I apologize on their behalf." Shawn Rhodes gave a cold snort, "The ones who should apologize are not you. I’ve already figured out what happened. You’ve been defending Talia all along; it’s your grandmother and sister bullying her. They’re the ones who should apologize! And the apology should be directed at Talia, not me." "I know, I’ll ensure they apologize in person." "That’s more like it." Shawn Rhodes’s expression softened somewhat, but his tone was still firm, "No one can bully the jewel of the Rhodes Family, not even someone from the Jennings Family!" "You’re right, Uncle." Adrian Jennings’s attitude towards Shawn Rhodes has always been gentle and courteous. Soon, the video of Selina Hughes deliberately colliding with Talia Rhodes at the banquet went viral online. Besides that surveillance video, there was also a video of Talia Rhodes and Selina Hughes arguing. The headlines were getting more sensational by the second. Titles like "Green Tea Scheme Traps True Heiress, Reality Hits Hard," "White Lotus’s Devious Plans, Aristocratic Heiress Pursues Justice," "Heiresses Pull Hair, All Because..." "Two Rich Heiresses Fight Over a Man" "Family Rivals Turn Against Each Other Over a Man," and so forth. Yvonne Coleman was scrolling through the trending topics on Weibo, "These titles are getting weirder and weirder." Winter Donovan was puzzled, "Does the Jennings Family really allow such videos to be leaked?" Talia said coldly, "The netizens don’t know that Selina Hughes is a foster daughter of the Jennings Family. Haven’t you all noticed that neither Mrs. Jennings nor Adrian are shown in the videos?" Winter Donovan: "Right, that’s why it could be leaked." Yvonne Coleman snorted, "Heh, that old witch from the Jennings Family is really..." Winter Donovan quickly interrupted her, "Talia, aren’t you going to remove it from the hot search? Won’t it negatively affect you?" Talia shook her head, "No, I won’t remove it, and I won’t allow the Jennings Family to remove it either. Anyway, the surveillance video is already up, the truth is plain to see. It’s just as well for Selina Hughes to be humiliated, serves her right for always scheming against me." Yvonne Coleman nodded, "I support you!" Winter Donovan: "I support you too." The next day, Ian Jennings and his wife brought Selina Hughes to apologize in person. Adrian Jennings came along, but Mrs. Jennings didn’t; it was said she was so furious that she had a heart attack and was lying in the hospital ICU. Whether this was true or not was unknown. Ian Jennings and his wife were very sincere, so Shawn Rhodes didn’t dwell on Mrs. Jennings’s health. Since Talia and Shawn Rhodes had stayed at the estate the night before, that was where the Jennings Family came to apologize today. In the luxurious drawing-room, Shawn Rhodes sat in the main seat, the Jennings couple sat to his left and right, with Talia Rhodes and Adrian Jennings sitting together. Selina Hughes was kneeling. The night before, Adrian Jennings had backed up the surveillance video on his phone and sent it to Ian Jennings and Melinda Lynch. The couple sternly reprimanded Selina Hughes at the time. But they dared not say much to Mrs. Jennings; instead, Adrian Jennings went to the hospital to show Mrs. Jennings the surveillance video. With the truth laid bare, no matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Jennings was with Talia Rhodes, she couldn’t lie with her eyes open, knowing Selina Hughes was at fault. The old lady tacitly agreed to them bringing Selina Hughes to apologize. No matter how much Selina Hughes pouted, cried, or tried to see her, Mrs. Jennings kept her door closed. With Mrs. Jennings’s approval, Ian Jennings and Melinda Lynch prepared generous gifts and brought Selina Hughes to apologize. Selina Hughes initially wanted to sit. As she was about to sit down, before Ian Jennings and Melinda Lynch could speak, Adrian Jennings coldly said, "Who allowed you to sit? Kneel!" The tone was chilling, with an undeniable authority. Selina Hughes pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry, and gazed at Ian Jennings and Melinda Lynch with an aggrieved look. Ian Jennings said sternly, "Kneel down." Melinda Lynch also wore a stern expression, "You’re told to kneel, so kneel." Looking at Adrian Jennings, who exuded a cold aura, Selina Hughes didn’t dare resist and had no choice but to kneel. Shawn Rhodes was somewhat satisfied. The Jennings couple delivered a lengthy opening statement expressing their apology. When it was Selina Hughes’s turn to apologize, Adrian Jennings coldly instructed, "Turn around, kneel and apologize to Talia." Selina Hughes held back and held back, but in the end, she didn’t dare to resist, obediently turned ninety degrees, and faced Talia Rhodes while kneeling, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have intentionally embarrassed you in that situation, I know it was wrong." Talia Rhodes looked at Selina Hughes and asked her with interest, "Why do you always target me everywhere?"
