Seeing George arrested, Queena also panicked.


    "Dad! Dad!" Her eyes were red as she clung to George''s hand, trying to stop the police from taking him away. It was a touching picture of father-daughter devotion.


    "Ms. Spencer, please do not obstruct justice, or we''ll have to take you to the station as well," an officer warned her sternly.


    "Don''t you touch her!" George roared, using his body to shield Queena since his hands were cuffed.


    "Queena, don''t be afraid. I''ll be fine. You and Mr. Rogers live a good life, and listen to your mother."


    Afterforting the sobbing Queena, George turned to Teresa and said, as if entrusting his daughter to her, "Teresa, please take good care of Queena for me. As long as the James family is behind you, no one will dare to bully you or her, even if something happens to me."


    Teresa was already pale with fear and just nodded numbly to everything George said.


    But Jeffrey couldn''t stand it anymore. He didn''t know what George had done, but even in a crisis, all George cared about was Queena, his illegitimate daughter. The idea that he expected the James family to protect his mistress''s bastard child wasughable.


    With his eyes bloodshot, Jeffrey strode over and pulled his mother away.


    Teresa staggered, nearly falling, but her eyes were still fixed on George.


    "Jeffrey, why are they arresting your father? They must have made a mistake. Quick, find someone, get some help to save your dad!"


    But Jeffrey acted as if he hadn''t heard her. He stared daggers at George and roared.


    "Asking your wife to take care of your illegitimate daughter? You''ve got some nerve. And expecting my grandfather''s family to protect your bastard child? You must be dreaming!"


    Yvonne watched the drama unfold from the side, thinking, Jeffrey''s right. For a social climber, George has really hit a new low.


    "Jeffrey, what nonsense are you talking about!" George instantly denied it, his panicked gaze shifting to his wife, Teresa.


    ???


    Teresa was frozen in shock. She grabbed Jeffrey, looking utterly incredulous and asked in a hoarse voice, "Jeffrey, what did you say? What are you talking about?"


    "Mom. Queena is Dad''s illegitimate daughter with that housekeeper, Megan So she could live a life of luxury, he brought her into our home. and left Yvonne with Megan to be abused."


    Jeffrey held Teresa and told her the truth.


    Teresa looked as if she were in a trance, unable to ept the reality of what she was hearing.


    "Teresa, Teresa, don''t listen to this bastard''s nonsense! Queena is the child we raised together. You have to take care of her..."


    George was still trying to deny it, but the police dragged him away before he could finish.


    After George was taken away, the ballroom erupted into a mor of gossip and spection about the Spencer family.


    Humiliated, the Rogers family made


    a swift exit. After seeing off the


    guests, Oscar drove off With


    bis...


    family,pletely ignoring Queena.


    Teresa, likely having never been so publicly shamed, was ovee by a mix of humiliation and anger, and fainted on the spot.


    Jeffrey frantically called for an ambnce and took his mother to the hospital.


    Having seen enough of the show, Yvonne took the unattended Joseph by the hand and headed back to the Spencer residence.


    It wasn''t until evening that the rest of the Spencers began to trickle back home.
