At Deborah's comment, many people began to laugh and point at Sophia, whose eye was now twitching from all the mocking she was receiving. It was clear that many had learned sign language due to the trial, so everyone understood the mute woman's accusations without any issues.

"She's right."

"She must be pathetic, trying to steal someone's boyfriend twice."

"God... that means she's washed up as a woman, totally used up, haha."

"And she has the nerve to call herself beautiful."

"Well, she's clearly just aiming to get men who've been with someone she supposedly considers inferior."

1..." Sophia called out, seeking support, but she realized that the couple was only sticking around for what she could offer and weren't actually going to back her up.

Isabelle simply looked away, unwilling to get involved to save Sophia. She had her own plans to use this event to reconcile with George and forget the divorce so she could return to her rightful home.

Sophia was furious, feeling isolated while all the guests had gathered around to listen to the argument they had unintentionally sparked. It had backfired spectacularly, as now everyone was against her.

"Heh, you're right, love. I think someone who claims to be superior is actually inferior because all they aim to do is break up marriages," Jayden remarked. "That just proves she's a coward who doesn't want to stick through tough times in a relationship and only wants the good stuff."

"And what's wrong with that?" Sophia complained, brushing off the ridicule. "It's not my fault I'm smarter and know how to take the best things in life."

"Real life doesn't work that way," George said, arriving with Elliot. They were concerned to see the crowd. congregating in one spot instead of admiring and ordering jewelry. "Only a fool believes that life is all about living in ease without effort. That's why lazy and weak people lose everything they have because they don't know how to value it," he declared, staring his son down. "Dad... ..." Roger was fuming as he faced another scolding.

"That's why I'm furious with myself for not being tougher on you and stopping your mother from overprotecting you," George said, frowning.

Seeing this, Deborah moved closer to pat George's arm to help him calm down.

[Thank you.] She signed with a smile.

"George, you're being very harsh on our son and we're in public... please," Isabelle pleaded, worried about public opinion.

"Seriously?" Elliot asked sarcastically. "And that applies to the lady who has been spreading false rumors during the show." "What rumors?"

*Just now, the reporters asked me a very curious question: why is my dear sister at this event wearing a

poorly made copy of one of the luxury collection bracelets?" Elliot reported.

"Son, that's a lie... I didn't..." Isabelle stammered.

"It's true. She was the one who loudly claimed that Deborah Anderson's bracelet was fake, and I have it on video," one of the reporters said, playing the video.

Now, Isabelle was being pointed at and whispered about by the crowd.

Sophia found it amusing to see karma hitting fast and leaving that old woman in trouble.

"Do you hate our son so much? Why would you do this at his first event?" George asked, exhausted.

"I don't hate him, but he exists to steal everything that rightfully belongs to Roger, and that

fair to me."

"Isabelle, the company goes to those who deserve it. In Roger's three years of leadership, the company had mediocre performance, and sometimes even made losses because the collections he put out weren't eye-catching enough. To make matters worse, he took pieces from the inventory without paying for them."

"What...?" Isabelle was astonished and confused, as she was unaware of her son's actions and that the jewelry Sophia wore had been stolen from the company.

"I didn't tell Roger because I thought he was taking those pieces to give to Deborah, but with the divorce, I discovered he was giving them all to his mistress," George declared, irritated. "Meanwhile, in the few months Elliot has been in charge, sales have been recovering, and there's better harmony and organization with all the employees."

Roger scowled, realizing that his deception had been exposed and that his father was aware of the minor manipulation of the accounting books.
