Chapter 38 - Leave Him Some Dignity

When Emily came out, she saw the corridor was filled with people. Through the crowd, she saw Eliot standing at the entrance of the innermost lounge. He extended his long arm to prevent people from entering. He solemnly urged the guests, "Please leave! There's nothing to watch!"

She also saw her stepmother Beverly. Beverly stood there, wiping her tears, and saying, "What would happen to my Emily? Oh, how could such a thing happen...?”

Some guests were also pointing fingers and saying,

"I heard that's the youngest daughter of the Britts. How could she do this? Her sister just got engaged with Marquise yesterday and now she did this! It's such a disgrace..."

"Did you see it clearly? Is it that retard of the Britts?"

"I didn't see her in person. The guy standing in the front said this. He said that two people were naked in the room. There was a white dress on the floor. That retard is the only Britt wearing a white skirt. Who else could it be?"

"Besides, her stepmother is crying. Whether she was in the room is self-evident."

"That's right."

"But it's really strange. Things always happen when the retard attends a banquet. Last time, she disappeared in the Scavo's. All the people were forced to look for her. At her sister's birthday party, she also made a scene. And this time..."

"You're right. That's strange. Perhaps the Britts fell on evil days..."

"Eliot, I'm here!" In the crowd's discussions, Emily's clear voice sounded.

She came into people's sight in a gorgeous yellow dress. Everyone was immediately shocked, "What? The little retard of the Britts?"

"Holy shit! Then why is her stepmother crying there?"

"How would I know?"

Eliot heard Emily's voice and saw Emily in the crowd. He cried out in surprise, "Emily?"

When he heard that something happened here, his first thought is that something had happened to Emily. When he got there, he saw the white dress Emily wore before leaving. When he was about to go into the lounge, people came on. Although he wished he could kill the bastard inside. He looked at the bigger picture and planned to stabilize the situation before settling the score with that bastard who hurt Emily.

Unexpectedly, Emily stood in front of him safe and sound.

Emily finally managed to walk in front of him and asked blankly, "Eliot, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Why are you here?" Beverly realized something was wrong. She stopped crying and glared at Emily in shock.

Emily touched her forehead and said, "I felt dizzy. Elsie took me to a room to have a rest just now."

"Why are you wearing Elsie's dress?" Beverly glared at the dress in fear, "Where's your dress?"

Emily lowered her head and looked at her dress. She tilted her head and said, "I don't know. I woke up like this."

Eliot immediately knew what happened. He stared at Beverly and questioned her, "Where's Elsie?"

Beverly waved her hand in panic, "I don't know. I don't know."

"You do!" Eliot grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's go in and see if Elsie is inside."

Beverly's face turned pale, "How is that possible?"

Eliot leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Mom, your ruined your daughter and the reputation of the Britts."

Beverly opened the door in a panic and rushed in. Soon, cries came from inside.

The guests outside looked at Emily and whispered,

"That retard is outside. Then who is inside?"

Surrounded by the other Buckleys, Ian came over. The guests made way for him, and the corridor was suddenly less noisy. The guests still followed behind the Buckleys to eavesdrop.. They expected to hear some juicy news.
