She threw herself into Nathaniel’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Nate, you have to believe me. She did this! It had to be her! My parents spent thirty million dollars on my dress. How could it be a fake? She must’ve switched out our dresses when I wasn’t looking!”
While Listening to her quietly, Nathaniel kept glancing at Lucinda.
Mario quickly picked up the microphone and cleared his throat.
“I’m sorry, everyone. My daughter is a bit emotional right now, so I’ll have my wife take her back to her room so that she can calm down first. As for the matter of the ‘First Snow’ dress, we did pay Miss Z thirty million dollars. We even have the receipt. I’ll definitely look into this matter thoroughly!”
As he spoke, he bowed towards the audience and shot Presley a ferocious glance.
“Take her away now!”
Presley nodded and asked the maid to drag Eleanor upstairs.
Eleanor kept wailing and kicking loudly until she was locked in her room.
Mario watched the maids drag her away, feeling more and more dissatisfied with his illegitimate daughter.
He had thought that bringing her back to the family and recognizing her as his legitimate child would save the Turner family, but the exact opposite happened.
What a joke!

Nathaniel was pursing his lips tightly. She didn’t know what he was thinking.

Annoyed by his stare, Lucinda looked at him with a provoking smile.
“What are you looking at? Are you mad that I ruined your fiancee’s party?”
Still staring at Lucinda unblinkingly, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes at her.
Lucinda didn’t understand what he meant by that, nor was she interested in finding out.
When she was about to walk away, he asked gruffly, “Are you okay?”
There was a hint of concern in his low voice.
Lucinda was taken aback.
“Of course I’m fine. I just witnessed such a good show.”
