Chapter 809
Gray looked at Star with a complex expression. He used to think that Star's personality had changed since she came back.
But now, Star was clearly at fault, but still put on a righteous and aggrieved act.
Did Star think everyone else was a fool?
Jackson's expression remained unchanged from start to finish. Star's behavior didn't surprise him in the least.
But Bianca, seeing Star's act, was infuriated.
She grabbed Star, gritting her teeth.
"What do you mean by apologizing on my behalf? I can apologize myself, but you were the mastermind, you used me! Don't act like you have no responsibility and are just apologizing for me out of the goodness of your heart!"
Bianca now felt like she was just a joke. She even sympathized with Star for giving so much, only for Lillian to take advantage.
But who knew, Star wasn't that kind-hearted. Just the fact that Star used her without her noticing showed that Star couldn't have been bullied by Lillian without fighting back.
Maybe Lillian's child was killed by Star, this venomous woman!
"What mastermind? Bianca, I just found out about you spreading the video and rumors."
"Do you really know nothing?" Bianca asked sarcastically.
"Of course, I know nothing," Star answered without hesitation, not feeling guilty at all.
Bianca nodded, "Fine, Star, remember what you just said."
Star felt uneasy hearing Bianca's words.
Bianca took out her phone, quickly found a video, and played it, placing it on the table.
"Bianca, Jackson told me to wait for him, but I'm almost thirty, I feel like I can't hold on anymore."
"Jackson said Lillian is too heartbroken over losing the baby, her depression hasn't improved, he doesn't want to marry me now, and upset Lillian further. I'm really scared. Lillian is so beautiful, Bianca. do you think Jackson will rekindle his old feelings for her?"
In the video, Star was sitting on the sofa in Bianca's room, clearly having afternoon tea and desserts.
Star stirred her coffee, then suddenly lowered her head, speaking with a face full of sadness and worry, and started crying.
"Star, don't think like that. You've suffered for Mr. Frane for so many years. Didn't you say Mr. Frane missed his wedding to save you? That shows Mr. Frane cares about you the most."
"I think so too, but no one knows about this. If everyone knew, like you, Bianca, I wouldn't be ridiculed."
"Star, you were ridiculed? Who ridiculed you, and what did they say?"
"They just think I, after being away for so many years, still dream of marrying Jackson."
"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let me tell you, I went golfing with my dad and Martin today. Martin said he only recognizes me as his future daughter-in-law."
"Really? Congratulations."
"But..."
"Martin agreed. Why are you still worried?"
"Martin agreeing doesn't mean Jackson will. Jackson is too responsible and sentimental to let go of Lillian. If there were a way to force him, it would be good."
The video ended with Star's sigh.
Bianca stared at Star, "I have several more videos, Star. Should I play them all for Mr. Frane and Mr. Flores?"
When Star was inducing Bianca, she was worried about being overheard by the servants.
So every time, she spoke in Bianca's room, alone with Bianca.
But Star never expected Bianca to install surveillance in her bedroom, recording their conversations.
Seeing Bianca about to play another video, Star quickly grabbed the phone and smashed it against the wall.
The phone shattered into pieces.
Star breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized everyone was looking at her mockingly.
Even Bianca was looking at her like she was an idiot.
Star then realized that such surveillance videos must have backups.
Destroying the phone was useless.
Her action of smashing the phone made her look even more guilty and desperate.
"Star, are you still pretending to be innocent? Do you think I'm stupid, not leaving any evidence? How could I..."
Bianca looked at Star mockingly and then suddenly stopped.
She wanted to say, without evidence, what if Star denied everything after becoming Jackson's wife with her help?
That was why she secretly installed surveillance in her room, recording every conversation with Star.
Unexpectedly, it was now used to expose Star.
Otherwise, with Star's shameless behavior, she couldn't explain herself.
Star bit her lip, blood appearing.
She could feel Jackson's gaze on her like a knife.
Oscar stepped forward to apologize.
"Mr. Frane, my daughter is foolish, completely used by Star. She really thought of Star as a friend and was deceived. Can you forgive her this time? I'll teach her a lesson!"
Oscar said, turning and slapping Bianca hard. "Idiot!"
Bianca was knocked to the ground again, her cheeks red and swollen, looking up at Jackson with pleading eyes.
"Mr. Frane, I know I was wrong. I really thought of Star as a friend, believed her words, felt sorry for her, that's why I did this. I'm really sorry, I apologize to you and Lillian, I'm sorry."
Bianca knew that if Jackson really wanted to deal with the Porter family, they couldn't withstand it.
So Bianca's apology was very sincere.
But Jackson didn't even look at her or say a word.
Jackson just straightened his clothes and stood up, saying to Oscar.
"Ms. Porter, Lillian can't afford your apology. Who knows what you'll do next out of resentment."
Not accepting the apology meant not letting it go.
Bianca's tears fell, but she didn't dare to speak, looking at Oscar.
Oscar quickly said, "The Porter family's old home is in Rosewood City. Bianca's grandmother is there, always hoping she could stay and take care of her. She even arranged a marriage for Bianca there. We'll marry her off and never let her return to Miracalia. Mr. Frane, is this acceptable?"
Jackson raised an eyebrow, "That's the Porter family's business."
Though Jackson said this, Oscar could tell he was satisfied with the decision.
He quickly said, "Tomorrow, I'll send her there tomorrow!"
Rosewood City was a small town, and Bianca always had high standards.
Hearing she was to be married off to Rosewood City and never return, she almost fainted, wanting to cry but was stopped by Oscar's glare.
Jackson had already stepped out, leaving the Porter Manor with Gray.
Star, who had been pale and shaky since the video played, finally came to her senses.
She was terrified, turning to chase after Jackson.
"Jackson! Jackson, let me explain, I..."
"Star! It's all your fault! Grab her, I must tear her mouth apart today!"
Before Star could run out, Bianca got up from the ground.
Bianca was furious, all this was caused by Star.
How could she swallow this anger? Since she was to be sent away tomorrow and never return, Bianca wanted to settle all scores with Star today.
