Chapter 459 Humiliating Patricia 2
The waiter gave a cold smile and replied, "Well, I'm sorry, but our guests here have different levels. Look over there, all of them are VIPs. Of course, we prioritize VIPs."
"As for low-level guests like you, just being able to enter this door is a great honor. And you still want me to serve you?"
The waiter's words were undeniably sharp.
Not just Patricia, anyone would be furious.
Patricia kept telling herself to endure.
But now, she really couldn't take it anymore.
Patricia raised her hand and suddenly slapped the waiter across the face.
At the same time, the tray in the waiter's hand slipped and crashed to the ground. In an instant, the glasses of red wine shattered, scattering fragments everywhere.
The bright red wine spilled all over the floor in a mess.
The waiter squatted on the ground, covering her face, crying softly and pitifully.
This scene quickly drew everyone's attention.
As the host, Scarlett quickly came over.
She looked at the waiter who had spilled the wine and asked sternly, "What happened? What's going on?"
"Mrs. Jennings, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
At that moment, the once-arrogant waiter suddenly appeared pitiful.
The waiter was begging and admitting fault.
Patricia sneered inwardly, ' Why were you mocking me just now? Do you know how to admit your mistake? Smart move!'
"Sorry? Does saying sorry help?" Scarlett looked at her angrily, "Do you know how expensive this wine is? These are rare treasures that Mrs. Vasquez stored here, priceless even with money. You broke them all. How am I supposed to explain to Mrs. Vasquez when she arrives?"
"Call your manager here. I'm going to fire you immediately."
Scarlett's acting was superb.
Danielle stood nearby, holding a glass of wine, watching with a faint expression.
Hearing that she was about to be fired, the waiter was immediately terrified.
She squatted on the ground, her shoulders trembling with fear, and said shakily, "Mrs. Jennings, I'm innocent. I didn't spill the wine. Please, I beg you to stand up for me."
"It wasn't you who spilled it?" Scarlett asked cooperatively, "Explain clearly, what happened?"
The waiter cautiously glanced at Patricia.
Then she immediately lowered her head, extremely frightened.
"It's okay, speak up. I am always fair. If it wasn't your fault, I won't wrong you."
Hearing Scarlett's words, the waiter stood up and slowly pointed at Patricia. "It was her. She slapped me just now, causing the wine glasses in my hand to fall to the ground."
"If she hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have made such a mistake, Mrs. Jennings. Please stand up for me."
With Scarlett present, Patricia restrained herself a lot.
She shook her head, looking equally aggrieved, "Mrs. Jennings, I'm innocent. Why would I have a problem with a mere waiter?"
"Besides, why would I bother a waiter for no reason? That would be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?"
Scarlett also looked at the waiter. "She makes a good point. Are you trying to avoid taking responsibility for the broken wine by falsely accusing her? Think carefully. If you falsely accuse someone and damage their reputation, you will take on legal responsibility. I will hand you over to the police immediately."
The waiter immediately begged frantically, "No, Mrs. Jennings, I didn't lie to you. Everything I said is true."
"And I have evidence."
Hearing this, Patricia's heart suddenly raced with panic.
How could it be?
What evidence could the waiter have?
Moreover, she had been very careful when she struck, deliberately avoiding the crowd and choosing the right moment.
"What evidence?"
The waiter slowly moved her hand away from her face, revealing a glaring handprint on her cheek.
Scarlett looked at it in shock and then turned to Patricia. "With such clear evidence, could it be that..."
Seeing this, Patricia immediately resorted to her usual tactic of playing the victim.
"Mrs. Jennings, you must stand up for me. Although the waiter's face is indeed injured, I can assure you it wasn't me who did it."
"Today is your birthday party, and I am a guest you invited. Why would I cause trouble for you? I understand this much."
"Mrs. Jennings, you have to believe me!"
It must be said, that Patricia's act of playing the victim was quite convincing.
As soon as she spoke, the surrounding people began to believe her.
However, a man in a suit walked over and stopped beside Scarlett.
"Mrs. Jennings, hello. I apologize for the unpleasant incident at our hotel. This waiter is one of our top employees, always providing the best service to our guests. That's why we specifically chose her to serve at today's birthday party."
"All our hotel staff undergo rigorous training, so we trust their character. To prove their innocence, I am willing to show the video footage in front of everyone."
"If our waiter is at fault and falsely accused this lady, I will call the police immediately. But if this lady did hit our employee, we will demand an apology for her."
"Please, everyone, look at the big screen."
It was too late for Patricia to shout "No."
On the screen, it clearly showed Patricia raising her hand and slapping the waiter hard across the face.
Instantly, the situation reversed, and the public opinion changed.
The venue was filled with unpleasant discussions.
"So that's how it is. What a pitiful act, almost had me fooled."
"I knew it. How can her character be trusted? After all, she was a mistress back then. How noble can her conduct be?"
"Such a disgrace. Even a mistress should have some dignity. Lowering herself to hit a waiter and falsely accusing others."
"Yes, luckily there was surveillance today, or it would have been impossible to explain."
With the video evidence, Scarlett looked at Patricia. "Ms. Jones, the three glasses of wine the waiter had were rare treasures stored here by Mrs. Vasquez, specifically for her and the two young ladies of the Vasquez family. Now that they are broken..."
Before she could finish, a voice suddenly sounded at the door, "Mrs. Vasquez and the two Miss Vasquez have arrived."
On the other side, someone beside Danielle gave her a thumbs up, "Mrs. Walton, well done. Your tactics are indeed brilliant."
"Today's birthday party was worth attending. It's really interesting and getting more exciting."
Another person nearby agreed, "Yes, Mrs. Walton is brilliant. Mrs. Vasquez is a tough person. Patricia breaking her wine won't be easy to explain. This drama is getting more and more thrilling."
