Chapter 276


    Everyone turned to Fiona, looking dumbstruck.


    What was going on?


    Wasn''t Percival Fiona''s cousin?


    Why was she siding with Pa against Vivienne?


    Richard''s face fell immediately. "Fiona, what nonsense are you talking about?"


    Fiona gave them a slight smile, pulled out her phone, and yed a recording.


    The conversation between Pa and Stardust was clearly audible in the hall.


    How Pa had bribed Stardust and nned to embarrass Vivienne at the family reunion was all


    revealed.


    Pa''s face turned pale. She never would have thought that Fiona would record her conversation with


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Stardust.


    Especially since she had just assumed that Fiona was on her side.


    Everyone was stunned.


    "I can''t believe Pa would be this malicious. After all, Ms. Vivienne is her niece. She even wanted to


    ruin her niece''s banquet."


    "Pa once drugged Mark to marry him, causing Mark to break up with his fiancée. She has done such


    things before, so it''s not surprising that she would do it again.”


    "I wonder what Scott is going to do. On one hand is his sister; on the other is his daughter."


    Pa was both angry and anxious as she listened to the conversations around her.


    She hurriedly defended herself. "It wasn''t me! That''s not my voice! Fiona is framing me."


    "SMACK!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, Baron pped her across the face. "With such clear evidence,


    you’re still trying to deny it?! It seems you didn''t take my warning seriouslyst time!"


    For this banquet, they considered Vivienne''s feelings and prohibited Pa from attending.


    But she had sneaked in anyway.


    With so many people present today, he didn''t want to make a scene because of Pa.


    But who would have thought that she would go as far as to drug Vivienne''s dress?


    Baron used all his strength in that p, so Pa''s face instantly swelled.


    She covered her face, angrily saying, "Dad! Why did you hit me? I''ve said it wasn''t me! It was obviously


    Vivienne harmed Eddy! You can''t me me just because of Vivienne!"


    Then, Pa red at Fiona. "Fiona is probably in cahoots with Vivienne. Who knows? This might be


    Richard''s doing! The Ellington family wants to suppress us and the Miller families, so they made up this


    recording to frame me!"


    Fionaughed. "I hadn''t even met Vivienne before this banquet. How could we conspire to frame you?


    Can you really say that? If you have doubts about this recording, you can inspect it. We, the Ellington


    family, don''t need to bully an outsider like you."


    Richard''s face improved a lot after hearing the recording.


    He was very satisfied with Fiona.


    Compared to his other grandchildren, apart from Percival, Fiona was the one who pleased him the


    most.


    Members of the Ellington family should present a united front.


    Percival cast a deep gaze on Fiona.


    Pa was somewhat flustered. How could she inspect it? That was obviously her in the recording.


    If she inspected it, wouldn''t she be admitting her guilt?


    At that moment, Eddy was brought out from Vivienne’s dressing room by the Miller family''s servant,


    causing Stardust''s live stream to also shut down.


    Seeing this, Pa hurried over. "Eddy, are you okay? Can you tell me what happened? Why were you


    in Vivienne''s dressing room? Did she kidnap you?"


    After saying this, she gave Eddy aplete once-over.


    The effects of the drug hadpletely worn off after his encounter with the man.


    He was now clear-headed, but every time he thought about what he had done with a man...


    Ugh!


    He quickly ran to a corner, found a trash can, and vomited violently.


    When he felt a little better, Eddy charged over with a face that looked like he wanted to kill Vivienne.


    "You wretch! I''ll kill you!"


    With that, he charged at Vivienne.


    Vivienne stood still and looked at him indifferently with her hands in her pockets.


    Percival quickly stepped in front of Vivienne.


    At the same time, Scott and Leopold rushed over.


    Leopold aimed a kick at Eddy, targeting his special ce.


    Caught off guard, Eddy let out a yell and hopped around clutching himself.


    Scott roared. "Bastard!"


    Scott’s fury startled Eddy. He hadn''t seen his uncle be angry in a long time and was momentarily


    scared stiff.


    Scott''s eyes were filled with a burning rage as he red at Eddy. "I haven''t settled the score with you


    for framing Vivienne, and now you darey a hand on her in public? Do you really think I''m dead?"


    "Uncle, I..." Eddy fell into a sudden panic. He was about to exin when Scott yelled, "Tie him up and


    hand him over to the police! Tell the police that we do not ept any mediation!"


    Vivienne, who had been watching coldly from the side, raised her eyes slightly, and her lips curled into


    an indifferent smile.


    She wasughing, but nothing about her smile was genuine.


    "No!" Pa shrieked. "Brother, you can''t do this to Eddy! He''s your nephew! You caused me to lose


    Katara, so you can''t let me lose Eddy too!"


    "Shut up!" Scottmanded coldly, "Because of Katara, I have been tolerating you, but that''s not a


    reason for you to bully Vivienne again and again! You lost your daughter, so you take it out on mine?


    What kind of logic is that?"


    He felt guilty about and responsible for Katara''s loss.


    Over the years, he had been secretly and openly supporting Pa, helping her resolve numerous


    issues. He figured that he had done enough.


    "But you still owe me! I don’t care! You once promised me a favor, and I want you to let Eddy go!" Pa


    knew that the situation had escted to a point where nobody would believe her innocence.


    The evidence was indisputable.


    If Scott were to dig deeper, he would undoubtedly find her connection to Stardust.


    Instead of framing Vivienne, she decided to prioritize protecting Eddy.


    Scott furrowed his brows. He hadpletely forgotten about the promise he made to Pa years ago.


    He paused for a moment and turned to nce at Vivienne.


    She was looking back at him. Her face was an unreadable mixture of smiles and seriousness.


    Those crystal-clear eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything. It pierced straight into his


    heart, revealing his true intentions.


    "Vivienne, I…."


    Scott was about to speak when a few uniformed officers walked in.


    They shed their badges and continued to professionally address why they had arrived. "Eddy, we


    need you toe with us. There have been reports of you streaming inappropriate content. Please


    <pe with us to assist in our investigation.”
