Chapter 897 Watching Her Make a Fool of Herself
"I can't stand Alice's smug attitude since she latched onto the Howard family! How could someone as distinguished as Mr. Howard ever be interested in a woman like Alice?" Sandra fumed.
"Mom, do you think Mr. Howard was tricked by Alice? The Howard family is so prestigious, and Mr. Howard is so handsome and noble. Alice is nothing compared to me. What does Mr. Howard even see in her?" Sandra's eyes sparkled when she mentioned Adrian.
There were plenty of socialites in Vachilit chasing after Mr. Howard, all dreaming of being his wife.
But the one who snagged that title was the arrogant and vain Alice.
Sandra thought she was way more cultured and beautiful than Alice, so she couldn't stand it. She had to pretend to be friends with Alice every day, and now she finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Gabriella said, "Sandra, if your face isn't too badly hurt, just let it go. Offending Alice means offending the Howard family, and that wouldn't be good for the Hall Group."
Sandra wasn't having any of it. "Mom, Alice hurt me first! I'm the victim here! And Alice doesn't even have her child anymore, what is there to be afraid of? You don't really think the Howard family will step in to help Alice, do you?"
Gabriella hesitated, worried about Sandra's face.
It had been so hard to find a suitable husband for Sandra, and the engagement was next month, but her face was still covered in bandages!
Just then, a servant walked over with some snacks. "Mrs. Hall, don't worry too much. There's no need to fear the Cullen family. The Cullen Group is no match for the Hall Group, and I saw on Facebook today that Alice lost her child, so she probably won't be engaged with Mr. Howard for long."
Sandra said, "Yeah, she probably won't be happy for long."
A smile crept onto Sandra's face. Nothing made her happier than seeing Alice fall from her position as the Howard family's hostess.
This injury was worth it. Sandra had finally gotten her revenge.
At that moment, the phone in the house rang.
Gabriella answered the call and, after finishing it, said to Sandra, "It was your dad. He said he is ready to settle. Curtis and Avery came to the Hall Group and they offered pretty good terms. Sandra, let's just let this go!"
Sandra stood up, clearly upset. "How can we just let it go?"
'No way I will settle with Alice, or else my friends will think I'm scared! Besides, I've gained over 600,000 followers on Facebook because of this incident. How can I just settle this quietly? Isn't this shooting myself in the foot?' Sandra thought.
She looked at the knife on the coffee table, rushed over to grab it, and pressed it against her wrist. "Tell Dad there will be no settlement. If we settle, I'll...!" As she spoke, she applied some pressure to her wrist, and blood instantly flowed out, which scared Gabriella.
Gabriella quickly called Vance.
Vance loved Sandra the most. This time, Sandra's face was slashed, and if it weren't for Avery offering the SkyNav AI project, Vance wouldn't have agreed to settle this. Now, hearing that Sandra was about to slit her wrist, he immediately slammed the table and ordered the bodyguards to drive Curtis and Avery out of the Hall Group.
Curtis and Avery were at their wit's end.
