…

In the banquet hall.

The housekeeper approached Violet and whispered in her ear, letting her know about the situation in the guest room above.

Violet laughed appreciatively. “Great. We’ll broadcast it at nine o’clock.”

“Understood, Mrs. Schmidt.” The housekeeper looked at the wall on the clock—there were only a few minutes left.

Violet looked across the room and frowned. Then, she questioned, “Where’s Justin? We’re supposed to have a speech together.”

The housekeeper was also puzzled. “Mr. Schmidt seemed to be around just now. Was he dragged around to socialize, or maybe he’s in the restroom? Do you need me to look for him?”

Seeing that the time was ticking, Violet secretly cursed at Justin. Nonetheless, she just shook her head and answered, “Let’s ignore him for now. There’s no time to wait for him and we have a more pressing matter in our hands.”

“Alright, Mrs. Schmidt. It’s time for you to give a speech now.”

Violet tidied her hair and skirts, and she put on a friendly and gentle smile. Then, amidst the warm applause, she walked elegantly up the stage and faced everyone.

She stood in front of the microphone and smiled as she greeted, “Ladies and gentlemen, firstly, I have to thank everyone for taking their time out from the busy schedules to attend this silver wedding anniversary party between me and my love, as well as witnessing our many years of unchanged affection. I believe this won’t be the last party for Justin and I, and we’ll have a golden wedding anniversary party awaiting us as we spend the rest of our life with each other.”

As Violet said that, she showed a happy and proud smile, causing everyone else to cast envious glances at her.

It should be known that among their social circles, most of them married through alliance, or even for the benefits. Many couples were happy on the surface, but they were fooling around in secret. Not many couples were like Justin and Violet. Although their families arranged their marriage, they were truly in love.

Moreover, everyone regarded Justin as a great husband. He was never involved in gossip, took care of his family, and loved and respected his wife.

After enjoying everyone’s claps and gazes, Violet continued, “Next, please enjoy this video of our blissful relationship for the past twenty-five years.”

The crowd gave another round of warm applause.

The big screen behind Violet lit up. However, it was not showing the video of their marriage, but a big bed with a man and a woman in an intense scene.

The exciting scene and noises sent chills down everyone’s spines.

No one was expecting to see such a scene, and everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. Then, they turned to look at each other, and the crowd suddenly quietened.

The woman’s breathing and moans were getting louder, and her voice was echoing in the hall.

Violet had been facing the crowd all the time, and when she saw everyone’s expressions. She could not help but smile.

Penny did not disappoint at all. Was Timothy not under her control now? With this live broadcast, the Schmidts and Barkers’ would surely be in-laws soon!

From now onward, Penny would be the Barker family’s madam, and she would be Timothy’s mother-in-law!

Nevertheless, she must play her part in this act. Violet immediately kept away her proud expression. Instead, she turned around to look at the screen and pretended to be shocked.

However, she ended up being completely stunned.

The couple in the video was not Timothy and Penelope, but the ones she least expected!

Justin and Sheena?!

How could this be?

Violet staggered, and she directly fell to the floor. Something seemed to break in her eyes, and the next second, she crazily roared, “Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off!!! Ahhhh… Ahhhh… Ahhhh!!!”

The maids were all dumbfounded, and they hurriedly rushed toward the broadcasting room. Nonetheless, there were too many people, and as it was too crowded, none of them could make their way to the room.

The live broadcast continued, and the guests regained their senses from the sudden visual shock. Then, they started to discuss among themselves, pointing their fingers at Violet.

She was just talking about how Justin and her were so in love, but now she was slapped in the face with this! In fact, it was a painful one too. This was just too embarrassing.

Violet had always been generous, elegant, and well-respected. How could she endure everyone ridiculing her?

Soon, she lost her sanity, and she roared at the crowd. “Stop watching. Stop watching! Stop watching!”

However, everyone was ignoring Violet. She was akin to a clown.

Violet scrambled to her feet, and she shoved away those useless maids, rushing to the broadcast room. Then, she pulled the plugs and pushed all the equipment to the ground.

After that, she ran upstairs with her hair disarrayed.

Justin and that b*tch servant’s daughter! She must kill the pair of scumbags!

The housekeeper did not expect that such a thing would happen. However, she was certain that she connected it to the camera in the guest room, so why did it end up being Justin and Sheena!

Every guest had watched such a joke, and it would only turn into a bigger mess if Violet rashly looked for Justin and Sheena to teach them a lesson at that moment.

Nevertheless, the most important thing was to check on what happened between Timothy and Penelope.

If their matter was a success, they could use it to suppress Justin and Sheena’s mess. That way, they could turn the table around!

At the thought of this, the housekeeper stopped Violet and quickly advised her on the pros and cons, persuading her patiently, “Mrs. Schmidt, please calm down. You can take care of that b*tch Sheena anytime you want. You have to consider Ms. Schmidt’s side first! If you miss out on this, there wouldn’t be any hope left for the marriage with the Barkers!”

Penny...

Violet almost bit through her lower lips. In the end, she still forcefully controlled her rage. Her housekeeper was right. She had already lost one round, and she must hold onto the only chance she had left!

After she handled Timothy and Penny’s matter, she would teach Justin and Sheena, those scumbags!

Since the live broadcast was impossible, they could only bring the crowd upstairs to witness the show.

Then, Violet winked at the housekeeper, who immediately understood what she meant. Soon, she yelled loudly, “Where’s Ms. Schmidt? Did anyone see her? Where did she go?”

After that, she looked at the crowd and asked, “Huh? Where’s Mr.. Barker? Why’s Mr. Barker not here too? Are they together? Where did they go?”
