Chapter 218 Did You Also Participate?
Luna's face instantly turned as white as a sheet, devoid of any color.
She glanced at Stella in a panic.
However, Stella seemed completely indifferent to her gaze, lowering her eyes and eating her food nonchalantly.
Then, she shifted her gaze back to Luna.
Although Mr. Evelyn Sr. was displeased, he was, after all, her apparent father.
Mr. Evelyn Sr. cleared his throat lightly and cast a cold glance at Luna. "Luna, is what Mr. Foster said true?"
Evelyn's face was now even paler than the wall behind her.
She bit her lip. "This isn't true!"
After speaking, she directly pointed her finger at Adeline. "She framed me!
"She envies me for being the Miss of the Evelyn's family since birth, the darling of heaven!
"So, she deliberately used these things to frame me!"
Adeline couldn't help but furrow her brows at Evelyn's words.
She found it amusing.
Throughout, she hadn't said a word.
In fact, if Jasper hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known that behind all the coincidences and surprises, there was manipulation.
Now, Evelyn was turning the tables, accusing her of framing her?
The woman elegantly set down her utensils, her clear eyes glancing lightly at Evelyn. "Luna, you can eat messily, but words must be spoken carefully.
"First of all, I'm not a local, so whatever power you have here seems to have nothing to do with me.
"I've only been here for a few days, and during this time, apart from briefly meeting you at the previous party for a second, we haven't even seen each other.
"Why would I envy someone I barely know and frame them?"
Luna's face immediately turned ugly.
She snorted, crossed her arms, and looked down at Adeline from a high vantage point. "Even a slight acquaintance is enough for you to envy for a lifetime!"
"If it's not out of envy, why would you frame me like this?"
Adeline rubbed her forehead. "I admit, I don't have your background, I don't have your noble lineage."
"But no matter how noble the lineage is, it's just a stepping stone."
"I came from humble beginnings, but through my own efforts, I've become the most formidable jewelry designer in Europe, and now, back in Dawnvale, I serve as the Chief Design Director under the Foster Group."
With that, she raised an eyebrow, coldly glancing at Evelyn. "Luna, as for the information about you, I've heard about it too.
"Over the years, besides cosmetic surgery, it seems like you haven't done anything else?"
One sentence caused both Luna and Stella present to pale instantly.
Mr. Evelyn Sr.'s expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
Adeline slightly furrowed her brows, realizing she might have expressed her emotions too strongly.
So, she smiled gently. "Luna, no offense intended."
"I just want to point out that you really aren't worth my envy, and you're certainly not worth framing."
She took a deep breath before continuing, "Besides, many of the things Mr. Foster mentioned, I'm hearing for the first time as well.
"If you insist on calling this a setup, then the one setting you up should be Jasper, not me."
With that said, she picked up her utensils and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Her calm and polite demeanor, neither servile nor overbearing, made Jasper narrow his eyes slightly.
After a while, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of Mr. Evelyn Sr. and Luna. "Adeline indeed didn't know about these things; I discovered them on my own."
Jasper lightly tapped the table with one hand. "Even this morning, when Linda wanted to mention something related to Luna at the press conference, I stopped her.
"Considering the long-standing relationship between the Evelyn's family and the Foster family, I was willing to give the Evelyn's family some face in public.
"If Luna perceives this as a setup, then I'll have to make all this evidence public in the media for the public to judge."
He looked at Evelyn, his gaze becoming sharp. "Is it me framing Luna, or Luna targeting this employee under my supervision?"
As his words fell, the entire restaurant fell into silence.
Mr. Evelyn Sr. glanced at Stella, who was eating with her head down, and then at the pale-faced Luna.
Finally, he snorted, slamming his hand on the table. "Stand up!"
Evelyn hesitated, then quickly stood up from her chair.
Mr. Evelyn Sr. was furious that his face turned red, trembling as he pointed at the woman kneeling on the ground. "I've told you before, if something doesn't belong to you, don't force it!
"But you insisted on forcing it!
"Now that you've got your hands on it, you've started to act recklessly, thinking you can do whatever you want with the backing of the Evelyn's family, isn't that so?"
While Mr. Evelyn Sr. seemed to be scolding Luna, in reality, he was scolding Stella, who was eating with her head down.
Stella kept her head buried, her eating motions uninterrupted.
However, from Linda's perspective, one could still see that her face had turned as white as a sheet.
"From today onwards, you are no longer a child of my Evelyn's family, you have nothing to do with my Evelyn's family anymore!" Mr. Evelyn Sr. spoke coldly.
Luna, kneeling on the ground, looked up at Mr. Evelyn Sr. in confusion. "Are you talking nonsense?"
Although Luna wasn't the real Miss of the Evelyn's family, her current identity was that of the Miss of the Evelyn's family.
If Mr. Evelyn Sr. cut ties with her, then in the future, even if Stella wanted to return to the Evelyn's family, she wouldn't be able to.
Mr. Evelyn Sr. snorted, "You're the one talking nonsense!
"After doing so many wicked things, Mr. Foster is willing to let me personally deal with you, which is already giving you face!
"Don't eat this meal! Go upstairs, pack your bags, and have the butler send you abroad this afternoon. You're not allowed to come back within five years!
"If you want to act recklessly, then I'll make sure you can't come back for five years!
Luna stood dazed for a long time.
After a while, she subconsciously looked in Stella's direction.
Stella had finished her meal and was now playing with her phone, seemingly unconcerned with what was happening here.
Luna took a deep breath and went upstairs.
Watching her leave, Mr. Evelyn Sr. took a deep breath and then turned to Jasper with a smile. "Nephew, are you satisfied with my way of handling this?"
Jasper smiled faintly and turned to look at Adeline. "Are you satisfied?"
Adeline never expected him to hand her such a thorny issue.
After a few seconds of daze, she looked at Mr. Evelyn Sr. "Mr. Evelyn Sr., Jasper, I have a question that I can't figure out."
"Go ahead."
"Yesterday, my friend and I in Seacity inquired multiple times.
"Everyone said that in the backyard prison of the Evelyn's family, only Morgana and you personally can imprison someone there, even your wife can't casually lock someone up.
"So, were you also involved in the kidnapping of my friend Linda's father, Lyndon, yesterday?"
