The real trouble was with the Lopez Family.
Edward Lopez had previously taken a liking to Cindy Clarke and made a scene at the award ceremony, provoking Adrian Zhekova, only then finding out about the relationship between Cindy and Adrian.
After that, he went home and was on high alert.
But he didn't dare tell his father, Richard Lopez, about this. He just wanted to keep it to himself and wait and see.
To see if Adrian Zhekova would actually make any moves in the next few days.
People said that Adrian Zhekova held grudges and would take revenge instantly.
So Edward thought, according to Adrian's habit of taking revenge on the spot, Adrian should have taken revenge that night at the party.
If Adrian's actions at the party didn't count as revenge, then it wouldn't fit his character of taking revenge instantly.
His attitude that night could be considered as revenge, but he shouldn't have added more hatred afterward.
