Shock

"Father!" came the shocked response from Adam. "Why would you ruin things."

"I warned all of you, about ruining tonight, and you think I do not know what I going on in the family. I am not blind, and the lot of you are useless."

Cole turned back to the crowd now watching with huge interest, whispering to themselves about what was happening, before he loudly said "This celebration will end now, as we will leave you, but feel free to stay and enjoy the rest of the night that you were promised. Those who are owed explanations will receive them in due course."

"Grandfather! You want to ruin my party…" yelled a sobbing Sara. "I did nothing wrong…"

Cole moved and quickly grabbed Sara, whispering "You know what you did. You tried to trip your sister, who accidently stepped on your foot before you pushed her. If it was not for the quick reaction of Daniel, she would have seriously injured herself, and you want to say you did nothing. You are coming with me."

With that Cole started to pull Sara away, before motioning to a bodyguard to come and escort her out of the room. He turned to Adam and Chelsea loudly saying "Your choice. You can come of your free will, or I will have my bodyguards escort you out. Your choice."

Adam looked at Chelsea, who was still in shock watching their princess being forcibly removed from the room, and she started to run after them. Adam, sighed and looked around the room, seeing the various conflicting emotions run across faces in the crowd. How could he hold his head up when family scandals were being exposed with these people? In that moment he decided that the best option was to retreat and take steps to repair his reputation with them in the future, so he started following Chelsea.

Cole seeing this nodded to his bodyguards who moved to follow behind the quickly retreating Adam and Chelsea before turning and looking directly at Daniel, who had just placed Abigail on her feet, and stood beside her. Cole, motioned with his head in the direction Sara, Adam and Chelsea were leaving the room to Daniel who nodded.

Daniel, moved and said "Miss Abigail, let me escort you from the room, and I can help you seek a medical review to check that you are not hurt."

Abigail, cross, said "I am quite capable."

Daniel moved closer and said just for Abigail to hear "I get that, but your grandfather wants me to accompany you out of here. And I would not be comfortable letting you go out without being there, with what Sara just did."

Abigail turned and looked Daniel in the eyes, before looking at her grandfather who was watching them closely, smiling. He was trying to force her hand, but as she placed her full weight on her left ankle pain shot through it, and she knew that she was not going to be able to leave the room without people knowing that she was injured.

She turned and said "CEO Wu, Your help would be appreciated. Thank you."

As Daniel went to swing Abigail into his arms to carefully carry her out, Sebastian, who had been watching what happened in shock moved over, and pushed Abigail away from Daniel, shouting "How dare you help her. She is causing trouble for Sara, who but for you being a b*stard, would already be my fiancée, but will be the day I turn eighteen."

Abigail with the force of Sebastian's push, stumbled and as her full weight went onto her left ankle, she not only screamed in pain, but fell to the ground, as the heal on her shoe broke landing heavily on her backside.

Yasmin happily yelled out "Scum is on the floor. Who wants her here, because she is ruining the whole party."

Rebecca, having moved closer to the stage when she had seen Abigail fall from the stage, moved in front of Yasmin, pushed her shoulders before saying "A bully is always a bully, trash is always trash. Someone like you is the lowest of the low, and despite your family wealth will never change. You are a bully, trash, and if I did not want to insult animals I would call you a dog, a snake and a few other things, but those animals are better than you."

"How dare you, you b*tch…"

Rebecca, seeing Yasmin swing her hand to slap her, grabbed Yasmin's wrist saying "Thank you for telling me I am better than you, by calling me a female dog…"

"You…you…"

"Go on, see if you can try and insult me, because you will not win..."

Yasmin, looked around, and could see a number of their classmates watching her for her reaction, and all she could spit out is "You will pay…"

Rebecca, smiled and said "You can try, but I suspect you will not succeed. You rely on your family to secure your position. You just want to be a rich man's wife, so who are you targeting. Me, on the other hand, know the benefits of hard work, both in study and outside. I will achieve, and do not have to depend on a single person."

Rebecca turned, and saw Sebastian who had run after Sara, and Daniel Wu move and carefully lift Abigail into his arms.
