Chapter 134
Chapter 134:
Witnessing Leonie’s retreat, the crowd instinctively scattered. None dared linger, mindful of the potential consequences of staying too long. The events that had just unfolded were bound to dominate conversations in high society for weeks to come. Leonie’s dramatic fall from grace would ensure her absence from the public eye for quite some time.
This opulent charity gala might have broken fundraising records, but for Leonie, it was nothing short of a social disaster. The humiliation she endured tonight eclipsed anything she had faced at previous events.
In a shadowed corner, Bart observed the chaos, his eyes narrowing when Janice fell into the water. What caught his attention most was Aiden’s reaction.
“Isn’t Aiden supposed to be disabled? Why did he…” Bart muttered under his breath, his brow furrowing in confusion. It seemed Aiden had been about to rise, only for Kenneth’s timely interference to force him back into his seat.
“No, I must confirm this,” Bart murmured, his voice laced with unease. His gaze sharpened as realization dawned. “If Aiden isn’t truly disabled, the position of Green family head might slip out of my grasp.”
He glanced to Aiden and Janice, who were quietly leaving the gala.
The moment Delilah returned, she retreated to her room. Despite Laurie’s attempts to console her, Delilah refused to leave her room. The weight of humiliation was too much to bear.
Tonight’s charity gala was meant to be her shining moment, her grand entrance into high society’s spotlight. But everything had changed the moment Janice arrived, effortlessly stealing the show and tilting all the attention in her favor.
Delilah had worn the most exquisite gown, paired with dazzling jewelry worth a fortune, ensuring she looked every bit the queen of the evening. Yet, before she could even truly make her entrance, she was humiliated, driven to retreat in disgrace.
Seated on her bed, her face clouded with resentment, Delilah scrolled through her phone. Her heart sank as she stumbled upon a video of herself kneeling and singing to Janice, the clip already going viral. Social media was buzzing with ridicule.

“This is pure gold! She’s dressed like royalty but acts like the court jester. I wonder if she’ll even sleep tonight!” one comment read.
“Embarrassment doesn’t even begin to cover it! And that woman in the black dress? Absolutely stunning. She’s the real star of the night!”
“Someone needs to turn this into a meme—it’d be hilarious!”
“Ah!” Delilah screamed, her frustration boiling over as she hurled her phone across the room.
Her face oscillated between flushed and pale, the sting of the harsh online comments replaying in her mind. Each word was another reminder of her humiliation.
“Janice, you won’t get away with this!” Delilah fumed with anger. However, given her current lack of resources, it seemed almost impossible to take Janice down. Additionally, the Edwards family’s demeanor towards her had only deteriorated.
Fortunately, Laurie had recovered tonight and was now harboring a deep resentment towards Janice, offering Delilah considerable support. A notification sounded.
Delilah picked up her phone, her expression serious.
She noticed a new friend request. “Who could this be?” With a frown, she tapped on the message. “Nellie? What does she want with me?”
Although puzzled, she accepted the friend request and soon received a message from Nellie.
