Chapter 795 Shift the Blame onto Her
During dinner, everyone's glasses were filled with red wine.
Alexander sat in the middle, so naturally, Victoria sat next to him. Everyone else took their seats in turn. Just as they were about to raise their glasses, the person sitting at the far end suddenly stood up. "Why are you all targeting me?"
It was Daisy who had been crying.
Daisy had long been displeased with Victoria sitting in that spot.
She didn't want to endure it any longer; she had to fight back.
Especially since she was seated the farthest from Alexander, while those people...
She was also someone who could visit the Harrington Family Old Mansion; she should also be a distinguished guest here.
But those two women bullied her for Victoria's sake.
Isabella was right; she needed to show her fierceness and not let people think she was easy to bully.
With red-rimmed eyes, Daisy cried and asked, "It's true that I liked Mr. Harrington, but I'm trying to date someone else now. Why do you all have to humiliate me like this?"
"Who humiliated you? Don't talk nonsense."
Tessa immediately questioned her.
"If we humiliated you, you need to provide evidence. Don't accuse us just because we said a few words to educate you."
Emily also chimed in.
"The reason you all act so high and mighty is because your husbands are friends with Mr. Harrington and because Victoria hasn't divorced Mr. Harrington yet. I've sincerely wished them well for a long time. Why can't you believe me, accept me, and stop treating me like an outsider? We're about the same age, and we were even classmates once."
Daisy clutched her arm, tears streaming down her face.
Neil was a bit surprised and somewhat embarrassed, but he also had an air of indifference, quickly settling in to watch the drama unfold.
After all, the host, Alexander, sitting in front of him, hadn't said a word.
"Are you joking? You're an outsider sitting at a table prepared for our friends, and you're complaining that we treat you like an outsider?"
Sebastian couldn't help but speak up for Emily, coldly questioning her.
"I'm sitting with you all, but..."
Daisy's tear-filled eyes couldn't help but look at Alexander.
She felt that Alexander shouldn't be completely indifferent to her.
But now, his cold demeanor made it seem like she was just something disgusting.
Indeed, he was looking at her, but with such unfamiliarity and disdain.
Daisy knew she had to elicit his sympathy. Isabella said men are always overflowing with sympathy, and in front of such successful men, women need to be delicate, charming, and willing to give everything.
Daisy couldn't help but grip her arm harder. She slowly sat back down and began to sob quietly.
"Today is a beautiful holiday, and here you are crying, Daisy. You're being unreasonable."
Olivia, the eldest person there, spoke up.
Hearing Olivia's words, Daisy raised her tear-filled eyes again, "Olivia, you don't know how awful their words were, and..."
Daisy clutched her wrist and then looked up at Olivia, who was a few seats away.
She was the daughter of the Bryant Group, and many people respectfully called her Ms. Bryant.
How dare they humiliate her like this?
Daisy decided to teach them a lesson and let Victoria know that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"How awful could their words be? They are all respectable ladies of the city. Besides, if you didn't do anything wrong, how could others have the chance to criticize you?"
Olivia said again, putting down her wine glass and adding, "I don't think you belong at our friends' dinner. Please leave."
Daisy froze at those words, then quickly turned to Alexander.
This was Alexander's mansion; who had the right to kick her out?
But what did she see?
He suddenly stood up and, under everyone's gaze, personally served a bowl of chicken soup.
Then he brought it to Victoria. "Have some soup first."
Daisy felt truly ridiculous. She knew she couldn't hesitate any longer and stood up.
"I can leave, but please, Mr. Harrington, stand up for me. I haven't done anything harmful, and Mr. Harrington is still with Mrs. Harrington. Why do I have to be humiliated like this?"
After saying that, she suddenly pulled up her sleeve.
Her wrist was covered in red marks from being pinched.
Suddenly, silence enveloped the table.
"Sorry, what's wrong with your arm? I can't see clearly."
Olivia's heart skipped a beat, but seeing the puzzled looks from Tessa and Emily, she felt it probably had nothing to do with them and asked again.
"Ms. Baker, if you can't see clearly, I'll come over to you."
Daisy said as she walked over to her.
Olivia saw clearly but only frowned slightly.
Edward also frowned. The red marks on the girl's delicate skin were quite shocking, and it must have hurt to have her arm pinched like that.
But what did this have to do with anyone present?
Edward was puzzled.
After showing Olivia, Daisy walked over to Alexander and Victoria. "Mr. Harrington, please stand up for me. I sincerely came to make friends with everyone and didn't do anything out of line. But look."
She deliberately extended her hand in front of Alexander.
Under the silver-white light, the marks on her fair skin were visible, but Alexander didn't even glance at them. He turned to Victoria. "What do you think?"
"What do you mean by showing this?"
Victoria glanced at Alexander and, without hesitation, questioned Daisy.
Because everyone here was familiar friends, if Daisy was as despicable as she thought, she would stand up for her friends.
"Just now, when I went to the restroom, Ms. Windsor and Ms. Hughes cornered me and pinched me like this."
Daisy suddenly looked aggrieved and angry at Tessa and Emily.
"Daisy, you're shameless."
Tessa felt very wronged and couldn't help but speak rudely.
"You're slandering us. We wouldn't touch you because it's disgusting."
Emily also said, holding back her anger.
At this moment, although the others were silent, they each had their opinions.
Even the staff serving the food couldn't help but wonder what they had missed.
"You two cornered me in the restroom and verbally and physically humiliated me. If you don't believe me, I can take off my clothes and let you check. They deny it because there's no surveillance in the restroom, but the marks on my body are real."
Daisy said as she started unbuttoning her clothes.
"Stop."
Olivia immediately stood up and commanded.
Daisy quickly stopped and, more aggrieved, murmured, "Olivia, I don't want to do this either. I'm really out of options. You all think I'm a bad girl, and no one trusts me. There's no surveillance there."
Daisy looked at Alexander with tear-filled eyes again, but he was busy pouring water for Victoria.
Victoria suddenly grabbed Alexander's wrist and looked at him.
Alexander looked at her, and Victoria's gaze gradually shifted from him to the space behind him.
"She's lying."
Victoria suddenly said seriously.
