Jas turned to look at Sasha and his expression softened a little. "What's wrong?" he asked.
The man liked Sasha more than Lilia since the latter only ca from a middle-class family and had a career in entertainnt. For Jas, Sasha was like his own daughter. He thought several tis to match Jean with Sasha, but his brother always firmly refused. Even Irene sided with Jean, so Jas could only withdraw his intention.
"Brother Jas, I think Miss Sara sprained her ankle. If not, why does she continue to sit on the floor like this?" Sasha explained. "How about we call the dical team to treat her wound?"
Jas nodded at Sasha's sensible suggestion.
"Besides, I'm sure that Miss Lilia isn't such a petty person. After all, she already had Jean. If Miss Lilia still has feelings for other n…" Sasha purposely wore a sad expression. "... I feel sorry for Jean..."
At a glance, Sasha's words sounded as if she took Lilia's side. But behind that, Sasha deliberately put Lilia in a difficult position. She made Lilia sound like a selfish person who still thought of other n beside Jean.
The guests who heard Sasha's words then began to speak up.
"Won today are simply never satisfied!"
"Does she think having connections with the Widjaya Family ans she can do whatever she wants? This is why people from lower status families don't know the rules!"
"What do you expect from an artist? She only has a pretty face, but her behavior doesn't match it at all!"
Those vile words mostly ca from wives of wealthy families. The bunch of them didn't really care who was right or who was wrong. Those middle aged won were only concerned with their own pleasure and would trample other people for it.
Jean's face turned dark when he heard their chatter. He turned his head at them and flashed a gaze as sharp as a knife. In just an instant, the rich ladies closed their mouths, then looked away. No one dared to oppose him.
Sasha observed the situation and was completely aware that this had brought her an oddly satisfied expression mixed with joy. The more Jean tried to protect Lilia, the worse that woman's life and reputation would be!
Sara didn't pull herself from the ground and lowered her head. She was hiding the wide grin that blood on her face. Did Lilia really think her life would run smoothly as long as she had Jean? Sara wouldn't let her live in peace! Today she would make Lilia experience the sha of losing the Widjaya Family's support!
Though Lilia was currently protected by Jean, people would still portray her in a negative light. They would spread rumors that this woman who seemingly looked elegant and full of dignity was actually a cheap gold digger. It didn't even rule out the possibility that Jean himself would beco disgusted and leave Lilia!
However, Lilia didn't lose her cool still after hearing Sasha's words. She broke away from Jean's embrace and stared at the man's grim face. Lilia tiptoed before whispering in his ear, "Jean, don't waste your energy getting mad at them. Just watch what happens."
Then she distanced herself from the man. She turned and glanced at Sasha who showed a triumphant look before looking back at Sara. A faint smile then appeared on Lilia's lips.
"Miss Sara, since you told a very interesting story earlier, I will tell you sothing interesting too." Lilia said in a light tone, as if the words of those rich won didn't affect her at all. "Do you know that our entire conversation was recorded by CCTV?"
Sara's face turned pale when she heard that, but she imdiately realized. "D-Don't talk nonsense!" she fiercely refuted. "Which CCTV cara can be installed in the bathroom?!"
Lilia raised an eyebrow. "Oh? I never said that the CCTV was in the bathroom. What I an is the CCTV cara installed opposite the bathroom's door."
The model pointed to the CCTV cara mounted on the ceiling and directly facing the bathroom door. Under normal circumstances, the cara wouldn't be able to record what was going on in the bathroom. But what if that bathroom door was left open during this incident?
Sara thought back to their conversation so far and her face gradually turned white. She vaguely rembered that Lilia had held the bathroom door open ever since they started arguing. So that woman had intended to record everything from the start!
Everyone also looked at Lilia in surprise. Among them, Jas imdiately recovered from his shock. The head of the Widjaya Family then turned to Lauren, the butler.
"Lauren, go and ask the restaurant staff for a tape of the incident." Jas ordered in a low voice.
The butler nodded and imdiately left to carry out his orders. Jas glanced at Lilia again with a guilty look. The woman's words rang in his ears.
"Is this how you lead the Widjaya Family?"
Jas sighed. Had he beco so senile that he needed to be warned by a woman much younger than him?
Irene looked at her husband constantly sighing while deep in thought. At first, she intended to reprimand Jas for letting his dislike towards Lilia influence his judgnt. But it seed she didn't need to do that now.
Then Irene's gaze shifted to Lilia. The young woman remained calm despite the difficult situation and negative views from everyone. Irene was relieved that she didn't misjudge Lilia's character. Her view of Lilia had beco increasingly positive.
Irene stepped forward and stopped in front of Sara. She knelt in an elegant manner before saying, "Miss Sara, you don't have to worry. If it's evident that my sister Lilia caused this incident, we won't hesitate to give an appropriate punishnt."
Sara's eyes widened when she heard Irene refer to Lilia as her sister. Before she could recover from her shock, the older woman had already continued her words.
"Oh yeah, the dical team is on their way here. I'm sure they will imdiately treat your sprained leg… if indeed your leg is sprained." Irene added with a big smile which made Sara tremble.
Without thinking, Sara shot a panicked look at Sasha. Why was the lead woman of the Widjaya Family defending Lilia like this?! Did Sasha hide sothing from her?!
At that ti, Lilia ca forward to help Irene up. She gave Sara a quick glance before saying, "Sister Irene, sorry for making you do this. But I guess it would be better if we clarify this situation first before making any decisions. After all, this is not the first ti Miss Sara has tarnished soone else's reputation with slander."
Sara's shoulders jumped when she heard Lilia's words. Yet she nailed her gaze to the floor without daring to look at the woman.
"For example…" Lilia continued in a calm voice. "Does Miss Sara still rember the 'car accident' that happened back then?"
Sara gritted her teeth, but she didn't say anything. To be precise, she couldn't reply to Lilia's words.. The news that Sara tried to slander Lilia with a fake accident had spread widely and the whole internet would never forget it.
