Chapter 897
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 Valenciaâs expressions turned incredibly grim. After exchanging a glance, Valencia said,
âSince it was Vicky who is at fault, she should apologize to Isabella. Weâre all family, and there
shouldnât be any lingering grudges, right?â
Orion added, âVicky, regardless of the circumstances, itâs never right to resort to violence. Why donât
you apologize to Isabella?â
Isabellaâs mother was not buying into this. âOrion, Valencia, my daughter has suffered such severe
injuries with her face disfigured. Itâs uncertain if she can marry into a good family or even get married at
all. An apologyâ¦? Do you think you can just brush it off as if nothing happened? Itâs laughable!â
Isabellaâs 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.
âWell⦠Itâs up to the younger generation to resolve their matters. We as their seniors can only offer
advice. After all, theyâre already adults with their world and lives,â Valencia
said.
Valenciaâs casual remark clearly conveyed the message that they were not going to be scammed and
were not willing to get involved.
Isabellaâs mother sneered. âFine, since youâre not getting involved, then letâs seek Old Mister Hartâs
judgment!â
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. âWhat happened to
Isabella?â
Tyler only gave Isabella a brief glance before his gaze fell on Vicky. âVicky, whatâs going on?â
Vickyâs 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. âVicky, is this true?â
Vicky remained silent for a few seconds and nodded.
Old Mister Hart continued, âWhatâs the reason for this?â
âShe⦠She said some hurtful things, and I couldnât control myself,â she said.
Neither Isabellaâs parents nor Tylerâs parents bothered asking Vicky what happened as the reason for
Vickyâs action did not matter to them.
Old Mister Hart narrowed his eyes. âAnd what did Isabella say?â
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 Isabellaâs mother saw that Vicky quieted down, she became more certain of herself. âShe just
dislikes Isabella and hurts her because of that! Besides, even if Isabella said something wrong, she
didnât 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⦠Sheâs now injured and has a scar on her face⦠How is
she supposed to find a good match in the future?â She burst into tears. âHer life is ruined!â
âOld 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 Isabellaâs face, the engagement might be called off and our
firmâs corporation with the Yeagers might go south as well⦠This is costing us a great deal!â
