Hannah scoffed, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Elena, why not tell the truth? What method did you actually use to make Lucas Maddox compromise? Did you have to do something unspeakable? Perhaps you made some kind of dirty sacrifice? Please don't tell me you did that; we'd rather not eat here than have you debase yourself!" Hannah said deliberately.
She guessed Elena must have sacrificed her dignity.
Otherwise, with her ability, how could she make Lucas Maddox compromise?
Bianca, seeing Elena in the spotlight, chimed in. "Yes, Elena, tell us. We're all curious about how you persuaded Lucas Maddox. You said you reasoned with him, but Lucas Maddox doesn't look like a reasonable person to me."
If he were reasonable, she would have talked him down earlier.
Instead, she got a slap in the face!
Hannah and Bianca's words made everyone start to get suspicious.
Ms. Harper spoke up then. "I believe Elena. She wouldn't do anything shameful. Don't let your imaginations run wild. As for Bianca, next time we have a dinner, please choose a better location. It doesn't need to be high-end, just average is fine, so things like tonight won't happen!"
Ms. Harper deliberately called out Bianca.
Bianca flushed red with embarrassment.
This was all on her.
She hadn't arranged this dinner well and had disappointed the teacher.
"Yes, Ms. Harper, I will be careful next time," Bianca said quietly.
But inside, she was seething.
Tonight, Elena had stolen all the thunder.
Originally, she was supposed to be the center of attention, but she lost face and got scolded by the teacher.
And then she got crushed by Elena.
If she had known, she wouldn't have reminded her to come.
With Ms. Harper defending Elena, even if the people present suspected Elena had done something unsavory, they dared not discuss it.
A while later, Lucas Maddox walked in with his men.
