Chapter 705 Come Back to Silver Frost Capital with Me, Okay?
Giselle stood still, feeling a sense of humiliation as if she were stripped naked in front of everyone.
All this humiliation was brought upon her by Cecily, and Giselle was filled with resentment.
Seeing that Giselle didn't move, Alfonso had to personally send someone to escort her out.
"Miss Bennett, please," a security guard urged.
"Get lost," Giselle snapped, "I can walk out myself."
Giselle shot a vicious glare at Cecily and quickly walked out.
As Giselle left, Imogen and Cecilia naturally didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly followed her with their heads down.
Outside, Giselle angrily threw her bag, and Cecilia and Imogen, seeing this, didn't dare to make a sound.
"You two useless idiots! You can't even handle this," Giselle turned and lashed out at Imogen and Cecilia.
"Especially you, I've been giving you signals constantly, and you still didn't get it? Are you an idiot?"
Giselle looked at Imogen, who had repeatedly misspoken inside, and was so angry she wanted to hit her.
Imogen felt wronged. Everything had been fine at first, but things suddenly spiraled out of control.
She still couldn't figure out how the ring she had put in that child's pocket ended up in Giselle's bag.
"Giselle, it's not my fault. Cecily is too cunning and hard to deal with. I clearly put the ring in that child's pocket. I don't know how it ended up in your bag," Imogen said.
Giselle frowned, thinking she must have been crazy to ask Imogen for help.
"Don't you get it yet? Our plan was already seen through by her. She played along with us. The ring in my bag was planted by her. Idiot, we've been played," Giselle said angrily.
Imogen was stunned, only now realizing what had happened.
No wonder she couldn't understand how the ring ended up in Giselle's bag. So that was what happened.
"If you knew, why didn't you say anything just now?" Imogen asked in surprise, "If she planted it, then she's framing you. The ring has fingerprints; we could have the police check it."
Giselle sneered, "Have the police check? Didn't you hear her calmly asking those questions?"
Cecily had asked her how she got the ring into her bag in the first place. If Giselle had answered, she would have had to reveal that she, Imogen, and Cecilia had planned to frame Cecily by putting the ring in the child's pocket.
If she had said that, no one would blame Cecily; instead, they would face even harsher criticism.
After much consideration, Giselle had to admit to the theft to minimize the impact.
"Don't ask me these questions. I don't want to talk to an idiot like you right now," Giselle scolded, feeling extremely irritated and not wanting to answer such stupid questions.
Imogen pouted, already feeling resentment towards Giselle. Unable to bear being called an idiot repeatedly, Imogen asked, "Giselle, did you know that Cecily's husband is Darian?"
Giselle narrowed her eyes. "What good does it do to ask that now?"
"I want to know why you didn't tell us."
No wonder Giselle had remained silent when they mentioned Cecily's children's living conditions.
It turned out she had known all along that those children were Darian's. She didn't dare to speak up but also didn't tell them, letting them say whatever they wanted. Imogen was still haunted by the scenes in the banquet hall.
She didn't know what kind of retaliation she would face from Darian and Cecily.
This time, Giselle had really gotten them into trouble.
"You didn't ask me, so what was I supposed to say?" Giselle retorted confidently, "And from the beginning, I never told you to mention those children's birth and living conditions. How was I supposed to know you would bring it up?" Giselle retorted.
Imogen continued, "But when we did bring it up, you didn't stop us. You just wanted to use us to deal with Cecily, but you don't plan on having our backs.."
The more Giselle listened, the more annoyed she became.
"I didn't expect things to turn out this way," Giselle explained, her tone softened slightly.
No matter how Giselle explained, the fact that she had deliberately concealed Cecily's husband's identity remained.
Imogen glared angrily at Giselle. "Giselle, if Mr. Fitzgerald and Ms. Bennett don't forgive us and continue to pursue this, we will definitely reveal that you instructed us to do this."
Giselle's betrayal came first, so they couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
"Don't you dare! Aren't you afraid I won't let you off either?" Giselle threatened.
Imogen chuckled.
She had already offended such powerful people; what else was there to fear?
And if this blew up, even Giselle wouldn't have an easy time handling it.
The Bennett family had strict rules, and Giselle might face punishment when she returned.
Imogen snorted, "You're in trouble yourself. You should think about how to explain this to the Bennett family, especially since Cecily's mother is the head of your family."
Imogen finished speaking and quickly left. She needed to go back and discuss with her father how to resolve this situation. Offending both the Fitzgerald family and the Bennett family was beyond her ability to handle alone.
Seeing Imogen's attitude towards her, Giselle's anger flared even more.
Giselle was annoyed that her father wasn't the head of the Bennett family. If her father were the head, she wouldn't have to fear anyone, and no one would dare to show her any disrespect.
"Giselle, you should think about how to resolve this matter. I'm leaving too," Cecilia said. Although this incident affected Cecilia less, she still felt embarrassed alongside Giselle and would undoubtedly be scolded when she got home.
Giselle ignored everyone, silently plotting in her mind.
Hunter couldn't become the head, but what if she became the head herself?
Then everything in the Bennett family would be under her control. In that case, she wouldn't need to worry about Cecily at all.
The more she thought about it, the stronger her desire to become the head grew.
After handling the situation, Darian didn't wait for the banquet to end and left with Cecily and the others.
The Vasquez family members respectfully escorted them to the door, repeatedly expressing their apologies.
"They're gone; stop staring," Alfonso reminded Maeve, who had been watching Darian.
Maeve blushed and smiled. "Mr. Fitzgerald is really as handsome as the rumors say."
"He's married with children. Don't get any ideas."
"Dad, I know. I was just saying. Tonight's incident really scared me."
Alfonso took a deep breath. He had originally wanted to build a good relationship with Darian, but instead, he ended up offending him. Alfonso regretted it deeply.
"We don't know how we offended Giselle, but she insisted on causing trouble at our banquet. Not only did she embarrass herself, but she also made us offend Darian," Alfonso said.
Anyone with eyes could see that Giselle was the one causing trouble tonight. Imogen and Cecilia were just being used.
"Stay away from Giselle in the future. With her temperament, she'll get into trouble sooner or later," Alfonso warned.
Maeve had a fairly good relationship with Giselle.
"I understand," Maeve replied perfunctorily.
Darian drove the car himself, with Cecily in the passenger seat. Aurelie sat in the back with Rowan and Griffin.
Darian asked Cecily about the whole incident tonight, his cold words sharp and clear, "Giselle brought this on herself."
Cecily chuckled, "By the way, how did you know we were in trouble at the banquet and come over?"
"I called Daddy," Griffin raised his hand, a proud expression on his face. "They dared to look down on our Daddy. We couldn't stand it, right, Daddy?"
Darian chuckled, "You usually despise me, but now you remember me."
"Daddy, only by calling you would they be scared."
Darian held the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at Griffin in the rearview mirror, shaking his head with a smile.
Back home, Cecily felt tired. Pregnant women did get fatigued easily.
"Are you hungry? You probably didn't eat much at the banquet," Darian asked.
Cecily yawned lazily. "Not hungry, just sleepy."
"I'll have someone cook something for you. Eat a little before you sleep," Darian said.
"Aurelie, Rowan, and Griffin didn't eat much either. Have them make more," Cecily said.
"Okay, rest for a bit. Don't worry about anything else."
Cecily rested on the sofa and saw a message from Giselle on her phone.
Giselle: [What will it take for you to drop tonight's matter?]
Cecily read it but didn't reply immediately.
Giselle was afraid she wouldn't let it go.
She remembered that the Bennett family had strict rules. Giselle repeatedly framing her had brought disgrace to the Bennett family, which was a violation of the family rules.
If she pursued tonight's matter, Giselle would be punished.
Giselle was destined to have a sleepless night.
Ignoring Giselle, Darian had someone prepare a light supper and called Cecily down to eat.
Cecily didn't have much appetite, but for the sake of the baby, she had to eat something.
She forced herself to eat a little but didn't dare to eat more, fearing she might throw up.
Seeing how hard it was for her during the pregnancy, Darian felt helpless watching Cecily go to banquets and deal with someone as crazy as Giselle.
"Don't go to such banquets next time. If you like attending banquets, I'll throw one every day for you after the baby is born," Darian said.
"I have no choice. I'm the eldest daughter of the Bennett family. I can't just do as I please; I have to consider the Bennett family," Cecily replied.
Darian wanted to take Cecily back to Silver Frost Capital immediately. He didn't care about her status; he just wanted her to be safe and happy.
Darian kissed Cecily's forehead. "How about I take you back to Silver Frost Capital in a while?"
