Chapter 1339


    The Collins were known to treat their daughter like a princess, spoiling her with every whim and fancy.


    "You just wait!" Mrs. Laurier fumed, her skirts billowing dramatically as she stormed off.


    Tiffany wanted to call her back but felt powerless; she could only turn to Eunice. “Eunice, you usually


    y your pranks, and I chalk it up to Bard spoiling you rotten. But today is Arlen''s birthday. Can''t you at


    least save face for his friends? If you cause a scene, it won''t look good for either side."


    “Thanks for the heads-up, Tiffany, replied Eunice with a smirk. "I also have a video of Dave. Do you


    want to see it?"


    Tiffany''s face flushed with anger as she clicked away in her heels.


    Arabe, nearby, couldn''t help but smile. "Why can''t they just take a hint? They''ve probably never


    managed to get the better of you, and now they''re just asking for trouble."


    “Some people are just full of themselves, thinking they''re invincible,’ Eunice said elegantly, finishing her


    champagne. “I''m going to take a walk outside."


    “Sure,” Arabe said, watching her leave. She grabbed a quick bite from the table and was about to


    leave when a girl suddenly came up close, pretending to be bumped by Arabe''s shoulder, dropping


    her cupcake on the floor.


    “Arabe!” Rose eximed, her voice filled with anger. "It was bad enough you bullied me yesterday,


    but today, on Arlen''s birthday, he just wanted a taste of that mint chocte chip cupcake, and you can''t


    even grant him that small pleasure! What is your problem?"


    The other guests couldn''t help but look over. Speaking was Rose Griffith, the cherished granddaughter


    of Calvin and Bess. Their eyes then drifted to the girl opposite her. She was beautiful but somewhat


    unfamiliar.


    "Think you can do whatever you want just because you''re Keh and Louisa''s daughter?” Rose


    deliberately made her identity known.


    The crowd had a moment of realization. She''s Keh and Louisa''s daughter? They hadn''t seen her


    for years, and she''d grown up so lovely, resembling Louisa.


    Though her temperament seemed troublesome.


    “Are you brain-damaged?" Arabe was too tired to argue. “Look up. What do you see in the corner?"


    At events like this, there were always cameras.


    Rose had anticipated the surveince argument. “Fine, since you won''t admit it, let''s check the tapes. If


    it turns out you bumped into me first, I expect an apology in front of everyone here!"


    Arabe saw Rose''s confidence and smiled faintly. "Seems you''ve erased the footage."


    Rose was caught off quard by her quick assumption, a flicker of guilt crossing her face before she


    At that moment, Bess walked over on cue. "Rose, what''s all this about?"


    "Grandma, don''t worry about it. This is a personal matter between us. Since she won''t respect Arlen or


    any of the elders here, I have to stand up for myself. Someone, check the surveince footage!"


    The crowd of onlookers grew, and Arabe watched Rose''s charade with a bored expression. True to


    form, a servant pretended to panic, "Rose, the footage from 11 minutes ago has mysteriously


    disappeared"


    "How could it be missing?" Rose turned to Arabe, usingly saying, "Did you bump into me and, out


    of fear of being exposed, have someone delete it? Oh, I remember now, you came with your aunt


    today. Did you ask her to delete it?"

    Arabe looked on, almost nostalgic for the days of Ynda, who, at the very least, ndered with a bit


    more skill than Rose''sckluster performance.


    Before the crowd could react, Arabezily restored the surveince footage and projected it onto the


    <prge screen for all to see.
