Elvira was even more confused. She thought. The ring on my finger is genuine? Wasn’t that ring acquired by a mysterious
rich man at an auction?
Elvira couldn’t ask Horace right now even though she had doubts. She thought. He’s the one who spoke up for me. If I were to ask now, wouldn’t I be undermining myself?”
Elvira just looked at Judy, who was behaving like a troublemaker, with a half–smile.
When Amber and Karen noticed that Judy had been mistreated by Elvira again, they immediately stopped what they were doing and walked over, wanting to teach Elvira a lesson.
“Elvira, will you ever stop?” Karen questioned coldly, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Elvira. “You feel uncomfortable if you are not causing trouble, huh?”
“Mrs. Karen, I really can’t believe that as the person in charge of a corporation, you’re only scolding one granddaughter without asking for the reason when your two granddaughters have a conflict” Gerald said angrily. “I can’t condone your character and upbringing. There’s no need for further contact between us anymore in the future. Goodbye! With that said,
he left.
“Mr. Taylor, I’m doing this because Elvira has always liked to cause trouble since she was a child” Karen explained, but Gerald had already walked far away, not listening to her explanation at all.
“Ms. Willis, the gown and jewelry you’re wearing are all good things that are rare.” Horace said respectfully. “If I can have the honor to observe them closely, it would be an eye–opener. I wonder if I have the honor.”
*T’ll have to check with the owner of these items,” Elvira said. “If it’s okay, I’ll contact you, Mr. William Elvira felt that since these items belonged to Tracy, the decision should be made by her. She couldn’t decide on behalf of Tracy.
Thank you, Ms. Willis,” Horace said. “I now understand why you are unwilling to return to the Willis family’s home. Mrs. Karen, you mistake something valuable for something worthless and vice versa. I can’t agree with someone who lacks discernment like you. Goodbye!” With that said, Horace strode away, disregarding Karen’s expression of being almost driven to the point of rolling her eyes in anger.
Karen was so angry that she felt dizzy. She thought, “How could this person’s words be so unpleasant? He actually dares to say that my precious granddaughter is worthless. So darn annoying.
These people were all people that the Willis family could not usually invite. They all showed up today. Karen was happy. Unexpectedly, these people spoke up for Elvira.
Judy almost lost her balance. Amber quickly supported her daughter. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Elvira and said, “Elvira, I know you’ve always hated me, but you can’t keep bullying your sister, right? Is the reputation of the Willis family worth nothing in your eyes?”
Vincent and Calvin walked over as well, including members of the Kennedy family. All of them glared at Elvira.
Seeing that everyone was here, Elvira said, “First of all, I didn’t say a word to Judy from the beginning to the end. From the moment I stood here, Judy had been talking to herself, and I didn’t say a word. So, this is what you call me mistreating her? There are so many people here watching. You may ask everyone if I’ve said a word to her.”
A woman beside them recounted the truth, saying, “I’ve been standing here the whole time, and I saw it clearly. Miss Elvira hasn’t said a word right from the start. It’s been Miss Judy talking to herself about the ring and saying that Miss Elvira’s ring is fake. Clearly, she was the one who started it. How come you are all blaming Miss Elvira in the end? Members of the Willis family are really strange.”
“I know, right? I’ve been standing here the whole time, and I saw everything. What’s wrong with members of the Willis family? Are their heads not screwed on right?”

“Yeah. I watched the whole thing too. Miss Elvira is innocent. She was scolded for no reason.”
Everyone spoke up for Elvira when they saw the situation.

“Can’t you see what’s going on here? The person who hasn’t said a word becomes like a criminal, while the person who has caused trouble is acting like she has suffered a huge grievance! Isn’t this the best tactic of an angelic bitch? The Willis family’s values are truly something else.”
“You guys hit the nail on the head,” Elvira said sarcastically. “I’ve lived like this in the Willis family’s home since I was a kid. I said nothing. I did nothing wrong. But everything was still my fault! I’ve gotten used to it.”
Previously, everyone thought that the affairs of the Willis family were their own business and that outsiders shouldn’t meddle without understanding the situation. Now that everyone had understood the situation clearly, they only had disdain for the actions of members of the Willis family.
Amber did not expect things to develop differently from what she had imagined. In the past, whenever she and Judy were wronged, everyone would side with them and criticize Elvira.
She thought, ‘Why isn’t it working out the way it usually does today?‘
It didn’t occur to her that the people present today were all wealthy ladies who were accustomed to seeing such despicable tactics. Accordingly, there was no way they would be deceived by the clumsy tactics used by Amber and her daughter.
Seeing that everyone was scolding them, Amber looked at her mother–in–law in a fluster.
Karen’s expression darkened. Her gaze swept over those who spoke, feeling that all the developments today regarding Elvira were a little strange. It was as if someone was deliberately helping Elvira.
Lily stepped forward and looked at Elvira with disdain as she said, “You’ve all been fooled by Elvira. She’s a vicious and immoral woman! I’m Miss Watson, and I’m a teacher. I’ve lived my whole life with integrity, strictly disciplined myself, and devoted myself to teaching and nurturing students, never telling lies. Elvira was once my student. Her conduct was extremely poor. She was even expelled from school. Let’s not talk about what happened just now. Elvira deliberately pushed Judy and caused her to have a miscarriage. Elvira, shouldn’t you apologize to Judy? How can you people believe such a person with a questionable character? If you believe her, you’re abetting the evildoer! Elvira, as your former teacher, I order you to apologize to the victim now!”
With the appearance of a strict teacher, Lily looked at Elvira with a serious expression and said, “If you refuse to apologize, don’t blame me for exposing all the ugly things you did in the past!”
Judy walked over and hugged Lily as she sobbed aggrievedly. “Miss Watson, I’m really upset,” she said. “No matter what I do, Elvira always misunderstands me.”
The credibility of a teacher’s words was still quite high. After all, teaching was a noble profession that aimed to educate and nurture. Most of the guests instinctively found Lily’s words somewhat believable.
As Elvira looked at the duplicitous Lily and Judy, who feigned innocence but was in fact cunning, she smiled slightly and said, “Judy, you want me to apologize too, huh?”
E When Judy raised her head, her face was already covered in tears, looking incredibly pitiful. She presented a tough front, as if she had suffered a huge grievance. “Elvira, I didn’t want you to apologize at first,” she said. “I’m willing to forgive you, but what you did today really disappointed me! I hope you won’t just apologize to me but also apologize to everybody in the family.”
Elvira suddenly laughed out loud, as if she was amused by something funny, causing everyone to frown. She responded with questions, saying, “What did I do today? Was it outshining you by wearing an antique haute couture gown and jewelry? Or was it you blocking me and insisting that my ring was fake, only to be harshly exposed by someone else? As for anything else… What else did I do? Tell me.”
