Chapter 531 The One Trying to Kill Her Father
At this very moment, Faye’s heart stopped as the guests condemned her one after another.
“To think that someone came to the Saunders Residence wearing a red dress! What a nerve!”
“Who is she? Does she bear a grudge against the Saunderses or something? Isn’t it obvious that she’s trying to embarrass them?”
“Everyone knows that when Mrs. Saunders died, rumors about her red dress were all over the tabloid magazines. Mr. Saunders even withdrew from the public eye for nearly half a year because of that!”
“It’s mean of her to spoil the party using the party host’s scandals!”
Soon, the young ladies who had gone shopping and had afternoon tea with Faye before recognized her. “Oh, my God! Is that Faye? Does she have a screw loose or something? Why would she come here while dressed up like that?!”
“She and Celina had always been inseparable when we hung out together. Is she wearing a red dress to mock Mr. Saunders for having been cuckolded?”
“My world’s turning upside down, honestly. I used to think that Faye was pretty nice, but I didn’t expect her to be such a woman in private. I gotta be on guard against her at my family’s parties from now on…”
Faye clutched the skirt of her dress; her beautifully-outlined bare shoulders were deeply sunken with extreme nervousness. She had intended to steal the limelight at the party with her beauty, but she never thought she would end up being condemned by everyone. She felt like her feet had been filled with lead, and she didn’t know whether to leave or not.
David stared hard at Faye; the red color of her dress occupied his mind’s eye, approaching him and wrapping itself tightly around him like a huge piece of red plastic, rendering him unable to breathe. He recalled the car accident back then, as well as the reports on his wife’s love affair with that guy and the countless gossip mocking him for being cuckolded. His cheeks flushed crimson with indignation, and his eyes became bloodshot. In an instant, he became unable to breathe; he clutched his chest and collapsed face down with a loud thud!
Celina immediately rushed to David when she heard him collapsing on stage with a thud, but she couldn’t prop him up as a lady. In the end, several guests nearby worked together to help David up.
The situation went out of control right away as all the guests surrounded David. The scene was in complete chaos. Some tried to give David first-aid, whereas some called for an ambulance.
However, Celina was only pretending to be nervous. She never thought that David would be so angry, though such a reaction from him would apparently be of great help to her plan—she had purposely refrained from looking back just now, believing that the person who had come in was Elise. However, when David showed no signs of regaining consciousness upon receiving first-aid, she finally panicked for real. “Dad! Dad, wake up!” She gave David a hard shove, but he didn’t show any signs of life, as if… As if he’s dead!
Celina’s lips parted slightly in horror. After a long time, she tentatively put out two fingers and put them under David’s nose. After a few seconds, her face turned ashen. She faltered, “D-Dad’s not b-breathing anymore…”
“What?! Mr. Saunders is dead?!”
“Oh, God! How could this happen?”
