Yvonne rushed over to Darrell and started grappling with him.
On the stage was a scene of utter confusion, and the guests down below were exchanging urgent whispers.
Scarlett was standing among the crowd. Her lips curved in a thin smile as she watched Yvonne pulling at Darrell's clothes frantically on the stage.
She thought, "You like to play dirty, huh? Now you got your just desserts." None of the invited guests could have foreseen that the grand birthday party would be reduced to a massive scene of mutual recriminations.
Scarlett glanced at Raymond who was standing before her. "Shall we go back?" There was nothing else worth looking at. Having seen Yvonne lapse into such despair, Scarlett felt that she had gotten what she chere for tonight.
Raymond nodded and the two of them turned around and left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat night, almost everybody in the circle was sharing and talking about the videos of Yvonne having sex with different men which had been played on the large screen at Jasper's birthday party.
In fact, people knew it was normal for an adult woman to have sexual needs. This was no longer a feudal society.
But the problem was that Yvonne had been claiming to be single ever since her return to this country, and half a year ago the Sheridan family and the Lancelot family reached an agreement, deciding to forge an alliance through marriage.
When word had gotten out about that, most people in the circle had felt that the two of them were well suited to each other, for the two families were of similar social status. Moreover, Yvonne had been cultivating a public image of being meek and docile over the years, and Darrell had never gotten mixed up in any scandals. In a word, the two of them had struck people as a good match in every way.
But in the video which was merely about two minutes long, Yvonne had sex with seven or eight men, which showed how sexually promiscuous she was.
There were many honored guests present, and the hall was packed, which made it impossible for the Sheridans to hush it up. Eventually things got out of control and the incident caused a sensation on the Internet.
The video of Yvonne cursing and hitting Darrell on the stage instantly went viral online. Unsurprisingly, a fabricated statement of Yvonne, "I slept with many men, but | never dated any" becone of the most quoted sarcastic remarks on the Internet.
The Sheridans had thought that the worst part was behind them, but unexpectedly, the next morning they woke up to find that Emma's true identity had been revealed.
Immediately afterward, when the office hours began at 9 a m., the Lancelots directly made a unilateral decision to call off the engagement.
Jason called Darrell in an attempt to talk him out of it, but the latter only said, "I fear that if | marry her, our future children, though bearing my family name, might not be my blood." Clearly, he was sarcastically insinuating Yvonne's promiscuous lifestyle.
Soon news of Darrell annulling his engagement to Yvonne spread throughout the circle. All those things had happened within merely eighteen hours. The Sheridans, blindsided by the spate of blows, were convinced that someone was working against them.
However, when the Sheridans caught on to it, it was already too late. The die was cast. The prestige of the Sheridan family took a nosedive due to the incident.
Someone dug up dirt on the Sheridans. The latter shut their doors, refusing to receive visitors.
Soon the Sheridan family, unable to withstand the pressure from the public, sent Yvonne and Emma overseas.

If she stayed in Juanton City, for a long tpeople would point fingers at her when spotting her on the street Scarlett was uninterested in news about Yvonne going abroad to seek refuge. What interested her was the upcoming reunion of her college classmates.
In fact, there had hardly been any bonding between her and her classmates during her college years, for she had always left the campus immediately after class, and she had never participated in any group activities with her classmates.
But Scarlett had thought of something after hearing Mrs. Tucker's words the other day. She suspected that Jane had something to do with the reason why Darnell had found out Linley was the one who divulged the secret.
"Ms. Reed, your college classmates are having a reunion tonight." After hearing Katherine's words, Scarlett inclined her head. "Um. | see." At 6 p m., Scarlett turned off her cellphone, grabbed her handbag and left Mornet.
She didn’t know who organized this party, but they were quite generous. The daily rate for a private room in Moonscape was at least several grand, the cost of drinks and other service excluded.
Scarlett parked the car. On her arrival, she spotted a sign pointing to the venue for the party.
Her cellphone in her handbag vibrated. She pulled it out and saw that it was a message from Raymond. He asked her when the party would be over.
Scarlett gave it sthought and gave him an approximate tin response.
On the staircase to her left was a large banner bearing the words "Reunion of the Class of 'll of Finance Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Our Graduation." Scarlett raised her brows, walked up the stairs to the second floor and saw a sign on the landing. She turned left as the sign suggested and, before reaching the small banquet hall, heard the uproar emanating from inside.
