Chapter 447 You Only Have One Chance
Anouk's face was very displeased.
This group of people didn't take her seriously at all.
She looked at Waverly. She had just seen him. She recognized the man behind the woman in the wheelchair. He also seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
About fifteen minutes later, Eugene, Marcus, and Kimberly finally stopped.
The three boys lying on the ground were all holding their heads, faces, or stomachs.
Although Kimberly was a girl, she didn't hold back at all.
After the fight, the three of them consciously stepped aside to stand guard.
Victoria sat in the wheelchair, coldly watching them.
"Alright, you three, take this as a lesson." she said unhurriedly, then looked at Octavia.
Octavia saw her sharp gaze and instinctively shrank back. Then she heard Victoria say, "Now it's your turn!"
Just then, Winter pushed her directly to Victoria's feet.
Victoria lowered her eyes to look at her. If she could move, she wouldn't be sitting here so calmly.
"Octavia?" she said casually, "I'll ask you one question. If your answer is reasonable, I'll let you go."
Octavia looked up at her, not knowing what she was going to ask.
"Tell me, what did Ignatius do to provoke you? Was it worth it for a socialite like you to bring people to beat him up?" Victoria asked calmly, but those who knew her knew that the calmer she was, the angrier she was.
Octavia met Victoria's sharp gaze, feeling nervous and avoiding eye contact.
"You'd better tell the truth. You only have one chance," she added.
Before Octavia could answer, her mother, Mabel Simpson, loudly said, "It must be because he coveted Octavia's beauty and disrespected her. Octavia has always been well-behaved and never causes trouble. She would never take the initiative to bring people to beat someone up."
Beauty?
Victoria looked disdainfully at Octavia, who was heavily made up.
She thought of Ignatius's well-behaved and handsome appearance. As long as Ignatius wasn't blind, he wouldn't be interested in someone like Octavia.
"Miss Montgomery, is your mother right?" she asked Octavia with a faint smile.
To Octavia, that smile was terrifying. Even though Victoria hadn't done anything, Octavia always felt that Victoria's aura was strong. Whenever Victoria looked at her, she felt like she couldn't even breathe.
She wanted to nod, but seeing Victoria's gaze, she shook her head instead.
She bit her lip, refusing to say the reason.
Because the real reason was something she could never say in front of so many people.
If she said it, not only would she be despised by many people, but her father might also beat her to death.
Most of the people attending this charity event were from prominent families. If this matter got out, she wouldn't be able to stay in this circle anymore.
"What's wrong? Unwilling to say? Or can't bring yourself to say it?" Victoria asked.
With a trembling voice, Octavia said, "I... I didn't."
Victoria's eyebrows slightly furrowed. "You didn't?"
"Why are you being so aggressive?" At this moment, Waverly stood up again.
Mabel cut in, "Yes, you're forcing my daughter to admit to something she didn't do!"
Victoria squinted at Waverly, and their eyes met.
Waverly still had the elegant and noble demeanor. "Octavia grew up with me. I know her very well. If you keep questioning her like this, she'll be scared. Even if she didn't do it, it will seem like she did."
Victoria sneered, "Really? You know your cousin well?"
Waverly replied, "Yes, if you have evidence that Octavia did it, just show it. There's no need to question her in public."
She was sure that Victoria had no evidence. Otherwise, she wouldn't be questioning Octavia like this.
Mabel echoed, "Waverly is right. Show the evidence. Don't just start hitting her. Who knows if you're trying to create chaos and shift the blame to Octavia!"
Victoria raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure you want me to show it?"
Mabel quickly said, "Yes, show it. If you can't, get ready to go to the police station."
Victoria nodded. "Since you insist, I can't refuse your request." Then she said to Marcus, "Go ahead, show them the evidence."
Marcus replied, "Yes, Mrs. Howard."
Octavia felt something was wrong, but she remembered that she had ordered the video to be deleted. They couldn't possibly have the evidence.
So she felt relieved.
At this moment, Alexander appeared with a thermos cup and handed it to her, "Drink some warm water to soothe your throat. You've said a lot."
Victoria looked at the light blue thermos cup he handed over, feeling it was strange and out of character for him.
Gideon, watching from the sidelines, inexplicably felt like he was witnessing a display of affection.
It was a rare sight for Alexander to bring a thermos cup when he went out.
He had to record this moment.
He took out his phone and secretly recorded a short video.
Then he sent it to the family group chat and forwarded it to their friends' group chat.
Everyone expressed that they were not surprised.
Soon, Marcus returned.
At this time, the screen on the podium in the hall changed to another slide.
"Mrs. Howard, it's ready," Marcus said.
"Alright."
