Everyone started speaking one after another.
Though they genuinely looked down on Vicky, no one was willing to lie at a time like this.
Orion and Valencia’s expressions turned incredibly grim. After exchanging a glance, Valencia said, “Since it was Vicky who is at fault, she should apologize to Isabella. We’re all family, and there shouldn’t be any lingering grudges, right?”
Orion added, “Vicky, regardless of the circumstances, it’s never right to resort to violence. Why don’t you apologize to Isabella?”
Isabella’s mother was not buying into this. “Orion, Valencia, my daughter has suffered such severe injuries with her face disfigured. It’s uncertain if she can marry into a good family or even get married at all. An apology…? Do you think you can just brush it off as if nothing happened? It’s laughable!”
Isabella’s cheek was indeed grazed by the fragments of the teapot, but the wounds were shallow, and at this point, the blood had already coagulated, so it was unlikely to leave any scars.
Her mother was using it as an excuse to punish Vicky, who could not be excused for resorting to violence.
“Well… It’s up to the younger generation to resolve their matters. We as their seniors can only offer advice. After all, they’re already adults with their world and lives,” Valencia
said.
Valencia’s casual remark clearly conveyed the message that they were not going to be scammed and were not willing to get involved.
Isabella’s mother sneered. “Fine, since you’re not getting involved, then let’s seek Old Mister Hart’s judgment!”
Before long, Old Mister Hart and Tyler were summoned by the servants.
When Old Mister Hart saw Isabella covered in injuries, he was taken aback. “What happened to Isabella?”
Tyler only gave Isabella a brief glance before his gaze fell on Vicky. “Vicky, what’s going on?”
Vicky’s lips moved, but she could not utter a word. Once the others recounted the events, Old Mister Hart displayed a disapproving expression and turned to look at Vicky. “Vicky, is this true?”
Vicky remained silent for a few seconds and nodded.
Old Mister Hart continued, “What’s the reason for this?”
“She… She said some hurtful things, and I couldn’t control myself,” she said.
Neither Isabella’s parents nor Tyler’s parents bothered asking Vicky what happened as the reason for Vicky’s action did not matter to them.
Old Mister Hart narrowed his eyes. “And what did Isabella say?”
Vicky fell into silence.
She did not bother remembering what Isabella said about her, but she did not see how she could repeat all the horrible things Isabella said about Tyler in public.
On top of that, Vicky was the one who resorted to the violence.
When Isabella’s mother saw that Vicky quieted down, she became more certain of herself. “She just dislikes Isabella and hurts her because of that! Besides, even if Isabella said something wrong, she didn’t have to beat my daughter up so badly. Old Mister Hart, Isabella grew up under your nose, and you should know what kind of a person she is… She’s now injured and has a scar on her face… How is she supposed to find a good match in the future?” She burst into tears. “Her life is ruined!”
“Old Mister Hart, the Yeager came to us asking to marry their son with Isabella, but that son of theirs is really picky about looks. With a wound on Isabella’s face, the engagement might be called off and our firm’s corporation with the Yeagers might go south as well… This is costing us a great deal!”
