Chapter 126 The Reason for the Reversal, Who Can Guess?
The live stream chat was blowing up:
[OMG, is there really a twist coming?]
[If there's a twist, I'll eat shit live!]
[Keep watching, there has to be a twist!]
"Mr. Barnes, are you sure you have the right person? She hit Anthony, and you're praising her?" Elodie asked, rolling her eyes.
The viewers instantly showed their disdain for Elodie. A stepmother is always a stepmother; she can never truly treat her stepdaughter well.
Adrian glanced at her coolly. "Who told you she hit Anthony?"
Everyone was stunned, including Oliver, Simon, Elodie, and Clara. Adrian's words echoed in their ears.
The viewers were also shocked:
[Who just said they'd eat shit live if there was a twist?]
[Never seen someone eat shit live. Lucky me!]
[Be careful what you say; it might come true!]
Simon spoke up, "Mr. Barnes, what do you mean? We heard Victoria injured Anthony. Isn't that true?"
Adrian replied calmly, "I've never heard of such news. Anthony did meet Victoria in Jakarda City, but there was no conflict. Someone else injured him!"
Elodie and Clara felt guilty since they were the ones who spread the news.
Clara gritted her teeth. Even now, Victoria could still turn the tables. She didn't believe it!
Oliver sensed something was off.
"Then why are you here today?" Simon asked.
"I discovered Victoria looks like a dear friend of mine. Naturally, I came to see my friend's daughter," Adrian said.
"A dear friend? You knew Esme?" Simon immediately thought of his deceased ex-wife Esme.
No one saw this twist coming.
Adrian turned to Victoria, who had been sitting quietly, and said, "Victoria, since you've severed ties with the Kennedy family, I will be your family now. The Barnes family will always welcome you."
Oliver and Simon's faces darkened. They had just missed a great opportunity to connect with the Barnes family, and it was their own doing.
Victoria stood up from the sofa, her tall and slender figure appearing on the live stream. She turned around, revealing her face, and smiled gently at Adrian. "Thank you."
The live stream buzzed with comments about Victoria's looks:
[She looks so exquisite.]
[She's so beautiful; no wonder she never wanted to show her face.]
[Victoria > Clara, no contest.]
[With Victoria's looks, it's a pity she doesn't become a star!]
[But she's a CEO; she doesn't need to be a star.]
[A CEO?]
[Victoria runs Horizon Group, with an entertainment division and all.]
[Now that she knows the CEO of the Barnes Group, she definitely doesn't need to be a star!]
[I wonder if the Kennedy family regrets it now?]
[Who would have thought? Victoria and Adrian are so close. Too late for the Kennedys to fix it now!]
[Victoria's mother must have been amazing to have such powerful friends.]
Clara bit her lip. She never expected Victoria to know someone from the Barnes family. Even after Esme had been dead for years, she still had such connections. Clara felt very bitter.
Seeing Victoria's aloof demeanor made her furious. She glared at her, eyes full of jealousy and hatred.
Little did she know, the live stream camera caught her expression.
The viewers started commenting again:
[Did you see Clara's look? She looked ready to kill!]
[I saw it too. Isn't Clara supposed to be all sweet?]
[She must be faking it.]
[Guess Clara's not so nice after all!]
"You knew all along, didn't you?" Simon stared at Victoria.
Victoria shrugged innocently. "So what? I gave you all a chance, but you always jumped to conclusions without investigating. Why should I explain?"
