Lucinda cut in, frowning at her.
Benico was taken aback. Though he was confused, he decided to hold his tongue.
Lucinda then turned to Tess.
She was still stunned and was unable to say anything.
She had planned to use the Turner family’s party to make Lucinda suffer, but she never expected that Lucinda would not only defeat Babur but also steal the show!
Lucinda wasn’t Benico’s apprentice, nor did she steal anything from him.
In fact, she was Benico’s master! Who would have thought that?!
Tess was fuming.
As Tess stood on the stage, all eyes were on her, and she felt humiliated. She wished she could disappear.
But Tess had underestimated Lucinda’s vindictive nature.
There was no way Lucinda would let her off the hook that easily.
“Miss Green, who should be feeling embarrassed right now, you or me?”
Tess was so mad that she gritted her teeth. Since the video call with Benico was still on, and Cyrus was also there, Lucinda had her supporters.
Even though Tess was seething with anger, she didn’t dare to say anything too extreme. She forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry for offending you.”

“That’s it?”
Lucinda shook her head and chuckled.
“Your apology is too half-hearted. I’m not pleased with it, so…”
She paused and exchanged glances with Cyrus.
Cyrus immediately understood what she wanted. Upon getting his boss‘ message, Malcolm left the venue, and shortly after, he returned with two burly bodyguards in black suits.
Tess’ face went pale with fear as they approached her aggressively.
She took a few steps backward and asked, “What do you want?”
The bodyguards didn’t give her a chance to speak further. They immediately held her wrists from behind.
Seeing the situation, Presley was scared that if Lucinda killed Tess, it would ruin the Turner family’s party. She tried to intervene, but Jennifer stopped her.
Jennifer shook her head at her mother and muttered, “I’m sure she knows what she’s doing.”
