At this very moment, Faye’s heart stopped as the guests condemned snazzynovel.com one after another.
“To think that someone came to the Saunders Residence wearing a red dress! What a nerve!”
“Who is she? Does snazzynovel.com bear a grudge against the Saunderses or something? Isn’t it obvious that she’s trying to embarrass them?”
“Everyone knows that when Mrs. Saunders died, rumors about snazzynovel.com red dress were all over the tabloid magazines. Mr. Saunders even withdrew from the public eye for nearly half a year because of that!”
“It’s mean of snazzynovel.com to spoil the party using the party host’s scandals!”
Soon, the young ladies who had gone shopping and had afternoon tea with Faye before recognized her. “Oh, my God! Is that Faye? Does snazzynovel.com have a screw loose or something? Why would snazzynovel.com come here while dressed up like that?!”
“She and Celina had always been inseparable when we hung out together. Is snazzynovel.com wearing a red dress to mock Mr. Saunders for having been cuckolded?”
“My world’s turning upside down, honestly. I used to think that Faye was pretty nice, but I didn’t expect snazzynovel.com to be such a woman in private. I gotta be on guard against snazzynovel.com at my family’s parties from now on…”
Faye clutched the skirt of snazzynovel.com dress; snazzynovel.com beautifully-outlined bare shoulders were deeply sunken with extreme nervousness. She had intended to steal the limelight at the party with snazzynovel.com beauty, but snazzynovel.com never thought snazzynovel.com would end up being condemned by everyone. She felt like snazzynovel.com feet had been filled with lead, and snazzynovel.com didn’t know whether to leave or not.
David stared hard at Faye; the red color of snazzynovel.com dress occupied his mind’s eye, approaching snazzynovel.com and wrapping itself tightly around snazzynovel.com like a huge piece of red plastic, rendering snazzynovel.com unable to breathe. He recalled the car accident back then, as well as the reports on his wife’s love affair with that guy and the countless gossip mocking snazzynovel.com for being cuckolded. His cheeks flushed crimson with indignation, and his eyes became bloodshot. In an instant, snazzynovel.com became unable to breathe; snazzynovel.com clutched his chest and collapsed face down with a loud thud!
Celina immediately rushed to David when snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com collapsing on stage with a thud, but snazzynovel.com couldn’t prop snazzynovel.com up as a lady. In the end, several guests nearby worked together to help David up.
The situation went out of control right away as all the guests surrounded David. The scene was in complete chaos. Some tried to give David first-aid, whereas some called for an ambulance.
However, Celina was only pretending to be nervous. She never thought that David would be so angry, though such a reaction from snazzynovel.com would apparently be of great help to snazzynovel.com plan—she had purposely refrained from looking back just now, believing that the person who had come in was Elise. However, when David showed no signs of regaining consciousness upon receiving first-aid, snazzynovel.com finally panicked for real. “Dad! Dad, wake up!” She gave David a hard shove, but snazzynovel.com didn’t show any signs of life, as if… As if he’s dead!
Celina’s lips parted slightly in horror. After a long time, snazzynovel.com tentatively put out two fingers and put them under David’s nose. After a few seconds, snazzynovel.com face turned ashen. She faltered, “D-Dad’s not b-breathing anymore…”
“What?! Mr. Saunders is dead?!”
“Oh, God! How could this happen?”
“Has anyone called for an ambulance? No, let’s send snazzynovel.com to the hospital right away. We can’t wait for an ambulance anymore!”
“What’s the point of sending snazzynovel.com to the hospital? He’s not breathing anymore!”
As the situation got completely out of hand, someone lunged at Faye and grabbed her. “She’s the culprit! Arrest her!”
“She’s the one who killed Mr. Saunders!”
Celina’s mind went totally blank. She could no longer care about snazzynovel.com plan or Elise or anything else. All snazzynovel.com had wanted was to embarrass Elise in public and destroy the latter’s good reputation by using snazzynovel.com dead mother. But who would’ve thought that snazzynovel.com father, who loved snazzynovel.com more than anyone else did, would end up dying because of that? This isn’t what I wanted—never!
It had only been over a decade since the Saunders Family went up in the world, so the family’s footing wasn’t solid yet. Moreover, David had never touched another woman since his wife passed away, so Celina was the only other person left in the Saunders Family at present. If David died, how was snazzynovel.com supposed to manage snazzynovel.com family and protect their business?!
A tremendous sense of fear came over Celina. Soon afterward, though, snazzynovel.com found an outlet to vent snazzynovel.com fears—that was, snazzynovel.com hatred for Elise! If it weren’t for Elise, all of this wouldn’t have happened. It was Elise who killed Dad. I’m gonna get snazzynovel.com to pay for this with snazzynovel.com own life!
At this very moment, Celina could no longer care about anything else. I must make Elise die for this! She sniffled as a murderous flicker flashed across snazzynovel.com eyes. Then, snazzynovel.com stood up, ready to go to Elise and fight the latter to the death.
However, just as snazzynovel.com was about to turn around, a gentle yet firm voice stood out in the rowdy living hall. “Let me through, please. I know some first aid. The ambulance’s gonna take some time to arrive, so let me give the man first aid first.”
Celina immediately recognized Elise’s voice. How could snazzynovel.com have the cheek to say snazzynovel.com wants to save Dad after angering snazzynovel.com to death? snazzynovel.com thought. She turned around and looked viciously in the voice’s direction, but snazzynovel.com didn’t see Elise dressed in a red evening dress as snazzynovel.com had imagined. Instead, the lady was dressed in a silver sequin dress that made snazzynovel.com look as beautiful as a mermaid princess who had just come ashore, causing all the other female guests nearby to pale in comparison.
What’s going on? She isn’t wearing the red dress? Who’s the person that made Dad so angry, then? Dumbfounded, Celina turned snazzynovel.com gaze away from Elise. Almost immediately, snazzynovel.com followed the extremely eye-catching red color with snazzynovel.com eyes and saw Faye being caught. What? It’s Faye?! Why her?! The red dress I delivered was intended for Elise! In other words, the one who killed my father isn’t Elise, but Faye, my bestie?! This is impossible! This can’t be true!
Elise had come forward before Celina recovered from snazzynovel.com shock. She had been waiting outside the Saunders Residence, and it wasn’t until Faye showed up that snazzynovel.com came in after her. Therefore, snazzynovel.com didn’t miss a single second of what had happened just now. While snazzynovel.com found the situation ironic, snazzynovel.com couldn’t help but heave an inward sigh of relief for herself. If snazzynovel.com hadn’t been cautious enough to not chance wearing that dress, snazzynovel.com would’ve been the one who was being caught and becoming everyone’s favorite Aunt Sally right now. Not only that, but snazzynovel.com would’ve also been publicly disgraced for being a murderer.
Elise lowered snazzynovel.com eyes before looking intently at Celina again with a chillingly murderous look in snazzynovel.com eyes. Wanna make me a social pariah, huh? Alright then, I’ll let you experience what it feels like to pay a double penalty! Concealing snazzynovel.com real emotions at once, snazzynovel.com placed snazzynovel.com hand on Celina’s shoulder and comforted snazzynovel.com gently, saying, “Don’t worry, Celina. I have some knowledge in first aid, so let me take a look at your dad. Perhaps snazzynovel.com still has a chance to stay alive.”
Celina came to snazzynovel.com senses the instant Elise’s hand touched snazzynovel.com shoulder. “Get out of my house now, you b*tch!” She shoved Elise right away. Pointing at the latter, snazzynovel.com swore, “You wanna save him? I think you want snazzynovel.com to die even faster!”
The instant snazzynovel.com said that, the guests looked at snazzynovel.com with a hint of skepticism in their eyes. In a situation as hopeless as this one, even a stranger might be of help. And yet snazzynovel.com swore at the person who kindly volunteered to save snazzynovel.com father? Seems like the person who wants Mr. Saunders to die even faster isn’t this lady, but Celina! Perhaps she’s been coveting Mr. Saunders’ wealth for a long time and has been wishing for snazzynovel.com to die sooner! What an ungrateful daughter!
Regina didn’t expect that David would be angered to death, so snazzynovel.com quickly came to Celina and grabbed her, pleading, “Please come to your senses, Miss Celina. Do you really want to get Master David killed? He’s your father! Hurry up and let this lady save him!”
The guests no longer remained silent as well. They chimed in, “That’s right, Celina. It’s wrong of you to behave like this. If your dad really ends up dying due to a delay in first-aid, you’ll be responsible for it!”
