Chapter 20 - 20 20 Rose Woods Simping Behavior Made Public
Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Rose Woods’ Simping Behavior, Made Public Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Rose Woods’ Simping Behavior, Made Public “Mrs. Woods seems quite dissatisfied with this outcome?” Cyan Marshall looked at Jade Patel in confusion.
Jade Patel quickly composed herself and smiled, “No, no. I just feel relieved that Bella’s innocence is finally preserved.”
“It’s not about preserving Bella’s innocence; Bella was innocent all along. We merely exposed the slanderer’s face.” Cyan Marshall remained gentle, but her words carried a weightier tone than before.
Her gentle gaze fell on Rose Woods, yet the pressure was palpable.
Rose Woods couldn’t understand why Bella Woods still appeared to be a virgin.
After all, she hadn’t returned all night and had slept with the male prostitute several times.
At this moment, Ron Woods had finished his examination and remained silent.
“Although today was proven to be a misunderstanding,” Jade Patel took a deep breath and said, “if it weren’t for Bella’s poor character, these slanders wouldn’t have come to her. So, I still believe that Rose is more suitable for Oliver than Bella.”
“Mom, I know now,” Bella Woods said. “Before, I didn’t know Rose liked Oliver. Now that I know, I’ll remember your teachings. Whenever my sister and brother desire something, I should let go.”
Bella Woods looked at Cyan Marshall, “Aunt Cyan, I’m sorry, but my connections with you may end here.”
She looked at Oliver Hughes with a mournful expression, tears falling. “Oliver, I’m sorry. Even though I like you very much, I can’t not let go. I also wish that you and Rose become a loving couple.”
Finished speaking, Bella Woods broke free from Cyan Marshall’s hand and ran towards the door.
“Stop!” Daniel Hughes shouted to halt her.
Tonight, amid all the chaos, Daniel Hughes had barely spoken, sticking close to Cyan Marshall like an accessory.
This was the first time tonight he asserted his authority as the head of the Hughes Family.
“The marriage between Bella and Oliver was initially agreed upon by our two families, the Woods and ours. Bella Woods was decided to be the bride, and that won’t change.”
At Daniel Hughes’ words, Cyan Marshall hurriedly pulled Bella Woods back.
Seeing the imminent switch of bride fail, Jade Patel anxiously blurted out, “But Bella is too awful, nowhere near as good as Rose.”
“Who says?” Daniel Hughes scrutinized Jade Patel and retorted, “You are Bella’s biological mother. What exactly is wrong with Bella?”
“I…” Jade Patel hesitated and said, “She… her academics aren’t good.”
“She entered the top high school in Peace City at fourteen and was the first in the city. Later, she was recommended to Peace University but chose to take the national college entry examination to study a different major, achieving the top score in the city. Is this what you mean by poor academics?”
Jade Patel began to panic and said, “Then, then her character isn’t good…”
“The first time I met Bella was when my wife was in a car accident and taken to the hospital. Bella was only fourteen then, having just come from the countryside to find her parents, unfamiliar with this city. Yet, faced with my wife’s accident, she took out all the money she had to help pay for medical expenses.
At that time, she didn’t even consider if it might be a scam or if she would be taken advantage of. In her eyes, saving a life was more important than anything else.”
Daniel Hughes spoke with conviction, referencing Cyan Marshall’s car accident back then, “Is this what you call poor character?”
Jade Patel opened her mouth, attempting to argue when Daniel Hughes directly said, “Regarding Oliver’s marriage, I have never made a public statement before. I will take this opportunity to clarify my stance.”
“My wife, Cyan Marshall, and I, along with the entire Hughes Family, only recognize Bella Woods as Oliver’s future wife, and the future mistress of the Hughes Family. If anyone has objections, come and say it to us!”
After Daniel Hughes said this, no one dared to speak.
After all, no one dared to challenge the current head of the Hughes Family.
Moreover, Cyan Marshall is the daughter of Peace City’s most prestigious family, the Marshall Family, where her younger brother now holds power.
With such a high-standing couple, who would dare question them?
“Uncle Hughes…”
Bella Woods stepped forward amidst the silence, her eyes still red, “I am very grateful for the love you and Aunt Cyan have shown me, but Oliver has already given his heart elsewhere…”
Bella Woods hadn’t finished speaking when Oliver Hughes, standing by, was kicked by Daniel Hughes, causing him to kneel before Bella Woods.
Bella Woods was so startled she stepped back.
She then met Oliver Hughes’s incredulous eyes.
Proud and arrogant, the young master of the Hughes Family was kicked to kneel before the Lily Thistle he most despised.
“Oliver Hughes, I will give you a chance to explain to Bella clearly what’s going on between you and Rose?” Daniel Hughes sternly warned.
“How could I possibly have anything to do with such a shameless little hussy?” Oliver Hughes blurted out, trying to stand, but was forcibly held down by the bodyguards.
Oliver Hughes was also quite furious and shouted at Bella Woods, “Bella Woods, listen to me. I have no interest in your sister; she has been scheming since childhood.”
“Oliver Hughes, even though I like you, you can’t slander and humiliate my sister like that!” Bella Woods intentionally raised her voice.
“How am I humiliating her?” Oliver Hughes replied irritably, “Every time I visit your house, she dresses provocatively to entice me. She frequently invites me privately, sends me gifts, sends me homemade meals. How revolting!”
After saying so, Oliver Hughes shouted to the bodyguards holding him, “Let go! I need to show the evidence.”
The two bodyguards released their hold after getting Daniel Hughes’ consent.
Oliver Hughes then took out his phone from his pocket and brought Rose Woods’ contact out from the blocked list.
The chat history was there in plain sight.
Rose Woods: Brother Oliver, are you coming over today? I have prepared a gift for you.
Rose Woods: Brother Oliver, do you think this underwear looks good on me?
Rose Woods: Brother Oliver, I genuinely care about you. My sister is vulgar; the scent of the countryside sticks to her. Staying with her would aggrieve you greatly. I am different from my sister; I am more refined. Would you consider me?
Rose Woods: Brother Oliver…
Up until the last message, which was a series of revealing, unconventional costume selfies, asking Oliver Hughes if they looked good.
Oliver Hughes tossed out his phone, having it projected onto a screen.
The evidence of Rose Woods’ sycophantic attempts to seduce Oliver Hughes was thus made public.
Ron Woods and Jade Patel’s faces changed drastically after viewing the chat history.
“No, no, it’s not true…”
Rose Woods was shocked, stepping back step by step.
Jade Patel was also stunned; her precious daughter, always considered pure and noble, was so shameless in her chats with Oliver Hughes!
But Jade Patel didn’t have time to react, and her first move was to pull on the furious Ron Woods, fearing he might slap Rose Woods in public.
He had slapped Bella Woods publicly several times at prior banquets for inappropriate behavior.
That scene was too embarrassing, and Jade Patel did not want Rose to face the same.
Unlike Bella Woods, who had no pride or dignity, Rose Woods was proud and had a strong spirit since childhood. If she were to be slapped publicly, she might not be able to withstand it.
“Always saying the elder sister grew up in the countryside, but the elder sister never said anything against her younger sister, yet the younger sister consistently belittled her.”
“I used to think the eldest Ms. Woods was quite ordinary, but in comparison, the eldest Miss Woods has remarkable poise.”
“The Woods Family is intriguing; abandoning the eldest daughter to the countryside while indulging the younger daughter and son in the city. In the end, relying on the eldest daughter’s marriage to the Hughes Family to rise in status and still condone the younger daughter’s attacks on the elder daughter?”
Despite the elders of the Hughes Family’s discussions, they couldn’t keep Ron Woods’ anger in check.
He rushed over, directly grabbed Rose Woods by the arm, raised his hand, and slapped her!
The loud slap echoed across the banquet hall, causing Rose Woods to fall harshly to the ground.
