Chapter 459: 457 begs to hit her, eagerly acting cheaply Chapter 459: 457 begs to hit her, eagerly acting cheaply Hotel lobby quickly gathered a crowd of spectators, the Jones Family’s affairs had stirred the city before the new year, and the video of Lavinia Wilde and Silas Jones fighting at the police station was still on the internet now.
And at this mont, she sat on the ground, eyes red, looking pitiful.
“Auntie, I know, what happened back then, it was my fault towards your daughter, I understand your resentnt towards .”
“But her getting cancer wasn’t caused by , she and Silas already had marital issues, you can’t bla her death on and my daughter?”
“If you want revenge, we accept it, it’s my debt after all.”
“But you can’t bla for what happened back then, your father and I were truly in love.”
…
Lavinia Wilde cried her eyes out, looking so pitiful.
But every word was accusing Cressida Jones of being malicious, scheming against her and Marigold, which led to their dire fate.
“If you still feel unsatisfied, you can hit or curse , just please don’t make it difficult for Marigold.”
“After seeing you last ti, she suffered severe injuries leading to a miscarriage, she just had surgery, I beg you to give and my daughter a way to live.”
As she said that, she clambered up from the ground, rushed over, and tried to grab her grandmother, but Cressida Jones moved faster, shielding the grandmother behind her.
Lavinia grabbed her arm, “Cressida, Auntie begs you, please spare us.”
“I’m kowtowing to you!”
As she spoke, she suddenly knelt down again.
Kowtowing to the ground, continuously pleading for rcy.
“You…” The grandmother was infuriated.
How could there be such a despicable person.
Such bad luck for the new year.
Cressida Jones squeezed the grandmother’s hand, gesturing for her to calm down.
But how could she stay calm, back then, this woman ca to her daughter, together with Marigold, claiming that she and Silas were truly in love, asking her daughter to step aside and let them be.
She cried and knelt then too.
Now, she’s resorting to the sa old tricks.
People around had already started pointing fingers.
Lately, too much had happened with the Jones Family, even fools could recognize that this seemingly innocent and kind Eldest Miss Jones was not faultless, but Lavinia Wilde was no saint either!
It was simply Jones Family feud, and they were just happy to watch the drama.
And at this mont, the live stream at the scene was mostly blaming Cressida Jones.
The underdogs seem to easily gain sympathy.
[She’s already kowtowed, even if the stepmother is wrong, she has paid her price, why be so aggressive?]
[Marigold miscarried? Judging from the tone, seems like Cressida Jones caused it, she didn’t even spare the unborn child.]
[She deserves it, didn’t you forget, both Lavinia and her daughter were the “others”.]
…
At this ti in the private room, most guests invited by the Payne Family had arrived.
The Payne Family were the hosts today, apart from Tim Payne, almost everyone brought gifts, which made everyone curious because they were unaware of the details, they even asked Elder Mrs. and Mr. Payne with a smile: “Who are you planning to give this to?”
“You’ll know soon.”
“Is there anyone else who hasn’t arrived yet?”
Since the guests were almost all seated, only the Payne Family and Hale Family were at the main table, but there were still two empty seats.
Even those close to the Payne Family like the Shaw Family weren’t seated at the main table.
These two places were obviously reserved for more important people.
Julia Yates smiled, “They should be arriving soon.”
At this mont, Logan Hale’s phone vibrated, he received a call from a subordinate, his expression slightly stiffened, just made eye-contact with Tim Payne, then Michale Shaw, the blabbermouth, not knowing from which chat group he saw the ssage, exclaid, “Wow, there’s a spectacle downstairs!”
“Michale!” The elder Mr. Shaw furrowed his brow.
Despite his age, he can’t change his habit of enjoying drama.
“Can’t you be more steady, what spectacle is so interesting to see?”
Michale Shaw simply stretched out his hand and pointed at Zoe Payne seated at another table, “It’s your sister-in-law’s friend who’s in trouble.”
Zoe Payne was taken aback, “My friend?”
“Cressida Jones!”
Because during the last gathering, it was Zoe Payne who had invited her, so they seed to have a good relationship.
With this statent, Zoe Payne didn’t react much, but Tim Payne and Martin Yates simultaneously changed their expressions and suddenly stood up, causing everyone’s surprise.
“What happened to her?” Martin Yates frowned.
“Her evil stepmother found her, and she’s making a scene right now, coincidentally in the hotel lobby where we were eating,” Michale Shaw answered truthfully, “Soone started a livestream, and it’s all blown up online.”
Martin Yates remained silent and quickly left the private room.
Tim Payne followed closely behind, and the Payne Family glanced at each other before also heading out.
“I’ll go take a look too,” Zoe Payne stood up, naturally, William Hale followed her, and where there was excitent, Wyatt Hale had to be there.
Michale Shaw jumped up from his seat, “I’m worried about my sister-in-law, I’m going to check on her too.”
The Shaw Family elders’ faces turned dark.
Zoe Payne was naturally taken care of by William Hale, what do you have to worry about!
In a mont,
half the people in the private room had left.
—
anwhile, in the lobby, Lavinia Wilde was still kowtowing.
Her forehead had turned red from kowtowing, and when the staff tried to intervene and help her up, she pushed them away.
“Cressida, if you are willing to let us go, even if it ans I die here today from kowtowing, I’m willing to do it.”
Cressida Jones remained silent, just giving her a glance, “Really… I can do whatever I want?”
“Please give us a way to live,” Lavinia Wilde knelt on the ground, looking up at her.
“You just said, it’s okay to beat or scold?”
Lavinia Wilde had just nodded…
But she didn’t expect,
in the next second,
Cressida Jones suddenly swung her arm,
and with a raise of her hand,
“Slap—” a sharp slap landed on her face, catching her off guard, and even the few people livestreaming with their phones were startled into a panic.
Lavinia Wilde was caught off guard, the slap was hard, causing one side of her face to quickly swell and redden.
A bright red handprint appeared on her face, accompanied by a burning sting.
One slap didn’t seem to quench her anger.
Cressida Jones raised her hand again, her slap hadn’t fallen yet, and Lavinia instinctively wanted to dodge, but her chin was suddenly grasped tightly by Cressida, squeezing hard, the force so strong that her nails even dug into her flesh, causing her to groan in pain.
The nails cruelly digging into her flesh made her gasp in cold air.
“It was your own words, beating and scolding are up to , what are you dodging for?”
“Could it be that you were only speaking casually, thinking that with so many people here, I wouldn’t really hit you? Intentionally morally blackmailing ?”
Lavinia Wilde’s breathing tightened.
This despicable girl, indeed far more troubleso than her dead mother.
“Cressida, I am truly apologizing, hit if you want to, I promise not to dodge, it’s all my fault.”
“Everyone heard it, right? It’s not that I want to hit, she’s literally asking for it!” Cressida Jones said, released her hold on her chin, raised her hand, aid at her face, and delivered another fierce slap.
This ti,
the slap made Lavinia Wilde stagger and fall to the ground.
She was secretly pleased.
Hit , the harder, the better, the livestream is being watched by so many people nationwide, a spit from each could drown you.
Lavinia Wilde knew clear-heartedly, she was a mistress and couldn’t possibly clear her na with one livestream.
But she intended to drag Cressida Jones through the mud with her.
She and her daughter were already deep in the mire, she couldn’t possibly let Cressida stay unsoiled.
If we get dirty, let’s get dirty together,
if we die, let’s die together!
Anyway, she was already in hell, she would definitely not make it easy for her.
With the situation blown up, she could organize constant livestreams every few days. In today’s society, with traffic cos money, notorious is also famous, and it also allowed her to disgust Cressida Jones, forcing her to cough up so of the Jones family’s assets, gaining multiple benefits in one go.
anwhile, the bodyguard sent by Logan Hale had returned, handing a stack of docunts to Cressida Jones.
She took one of them, “The rest, distribute them for everyone to see.”
Lavinia Wilde was confused, but she clearly noticed the strange and eerie looks from the people around her.
Cressida Jones then smiled and handed her the docunt she held, “Aunt Wilde, have a look.”
Lavinia Wilde, puzzled, took the docunt, and her pupils suddenly dilated, her entire body shaken.
