Chapter: 957
"What the hell are you trying to do? What do you want by locking us here and forbidding us from going out? Why did you take our phones? Even if the Salazar family and Sullivan family are working together, there is no reason for you to detain us. Let us leave!"
Hearing this, Becky looked at the woman.
The woman was wearing a dark purple cheongsam, which accentuated her graceful figure. There was brown mink shawl draped over her shoulders, making her look dignified and noble. Becky had asked Susan for the attendees for tonight's birthday party ahead of time. She had stayed up for several nights just to remember the people's names and identities on the List.
She scoured through her memory and soon remembered who this woman was.
Her husband's family was the second-in-command of the political circle in Apliaria, and she was from a scholarly, well-mannered, and wealthy family.
“Exactly! The Salazar family has crossed the line!"
"We know why you won't let us leave. You're afraid that Susan's scandal will be exposed! If you have the ability, you can keep us all locked up forever. But if we manage to get out, you'll all get in trouble!"
“Let us out!
“My phone! Give me my phone back!"
In the face of all the raging comments, Becky fell silent. The others could no longer stand the injustice of being kept out here and began to stand up and yell at her.
The assistant stood behind Becky, looking at the angry crowd. Her face turned pale as she whispered, “Becky, what should we do?"
Compared to how panicked her assistant was, Becky appeared to be calm, but it was only on the surface.
“Everyone, please calm damn! There's no need to worry. We won't detain you for no reason. Neither the Salazar family nor I will do something like that." Becky's curled her lips, forcing herself to calm down.
"I hope you can trust me. Susan is just feeling a little uneasy and she's currently resting in her room. I hope you won't spread any rumors about Susan."
“Rumors? Are you fucking kidding us? Someone saw Susan on the bed with a man and they were making love!" a man retorted.
Becky glared at the man. Perhaps because of her sharp gaze, the man shivered and lowered his voice.
“Am I not telling the truth? Why are you looking at me like that?"
His words clearly exuded arrogance, but the way he spoke was lacking in confidence.
"Just as I've said, I hope you don't spread any rumors. I believe that all of you are elites of Apliaria, and you are capable of distinguishing the truth. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that everyone should know the truth." As Becky spoke, she glanced at everyone present, visibly unfazed.
After a pause, she continued, "I've asked you not to leave and even took your phones. I know that some of you may not understand the situation, and it's perfectly understandable to believe rumors for a time. On behalf of Susan, I offer my sincerest apologies."
Having said that, Becky bowed her head before everyone.
Upon seeing this, the lady from the wealthy family who pounded on the table felt embarrassed, because Becky's speech made her look a little too aggressive.
"I don't want an apology. I want an explanation! Cut the crap and just let us out! Do you think we're all idiots? Do you seriously think that an apology can make us sit here quietly?" The lady snorted.
“It's my fault for not explaining it to you ahead of time." Becky apologized once more, making the lady seem more acerbic.
“Just now, a thief has entered this establishment.
