The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Why Did You Provoke Estelle Lockwood?

For the first time, Thea York "ignored" Nathaniel Sloan’s words, gritting her teeth so hard the inside of her mouth filled with the taste of blood.

After a few seconds, Old Mrs. Sloan sneered, "What’s this? Unwilling to apologize?"

Thea York bit her lip, refusing to speak.

Before Old Mrs. Sloan could speak again, some of the society ladies, who could no longer stand to watch, began to jeer.

"Just listen to Miss York. She said she *thought* she had bought the bracelet, so she put it in her own bag. How is that any different from a thief?"

"Exactly. She clearly didn’t buy it. Just because she liked it, she insisted it was hers. And after getting caught stealing, she thinks a simple ’I thought’ is enough? If that’s the case, won’t everything just descend into chaos?"

"Whatever Miss York fancies, she can just take. I mean, who can blame her for having a bad memory? If anyone asks, just say the York Family isn’t short on cash and can afford anything she wants. So how could Miss York possibly be stealing on purpose? She just *forgot*~"

Thea York’s face went pale, then red, and Mrs. York’s mouth twitched several times.

"Just now, Mrs. Sloan gave Miss York a way to save face, repeatedly reminding her there was a third person in the restroom, yet Miss York couldn’t seem to ’recall’ it. And now she comes out with ’I thought’? Tsk, tsk. No wonder they say the York Family has been going downhill all these years. It turns out they’re not very bright."

"And I’d say being dim-witted is hereditary. Mrs. York, Chairman York is getting on in years, so we can let that slide. But since Miss York is still young, maybe you should take her to a hospital for a check-up?"

Someone else laughed. "What are you talking about? It doesn’t matter if Miss York’s brain doesn’t work well and she’s forgetful. The York Family will support her anyway. It’s not like she needs to inherit the family business in the future. She can just wait for her allowance~"

Thea York had a refined public image, but in high-society circles, everyone knew about the York Family’s dirty laundry.

As an illegitimate daughter, Thea York had climbed to her position by stepping on the true heiress, Stella York. The York Family had publicly declared Thea the "eldest daughter," as if the entire family had forgotten about their actual, legitimate first-born daughter.

Now that Stella York controlled the family’s power, Thea York had no chance of inheriting the York Family’s fortune. So, really, it wouldn’t matter if her brain was broken, would it?

"I heard Miss York has a fiancé abroad, doesn’t she? Mrs. York, you’d better lock that down. After all, with her character and her wits, not just anyone would have her."

"You can’t say that. Don’t all the rumors say Miss York will marry Mr. Sloan and become the next Mrs. Sloan?"

"Ah. In that case, doesn’t that mean Miss York did this on purpose today? I mean, she wants to be Mrs. Sloan, so wouldn’t she have to ruin the current Mrs. Sloan’s reputation first?"

Thea York’s face shifted from pale to flushed. "Estelle... I’m sorry, I really didn’t realize..."

Unfortunately, it was too late for apologies.

Everyone present knew what kind of person Thea York really was. Her act of playing dumb and innocent only made her look even more ridiculous.

Old Mrs. Sloan waved a dismissive hand. "Someone, get the Yorks out of my sight."

The news that Thea York and Old Mrs. York had been kicked out of the banquet spread quickly, with rumors even appearing online.

Thea York was a minor internet celebrity. Thanks to her status as the York family heiress, along with her credentials as a jewelry designer, violinist, and so on, she had nearly ten million followers on Weibo.

When these fans talked about the York Family, they only knew of Thea York, not Stella York.

So they were all baffled.

[Our Thea is the York family heiress and the future successor. Who would be so disrespectful?]

[I think I heard the host of the banquet’s surname is Sloan.]

[Oh, then I know. It’s Old Mrs. Sloan, right? Then she definitely wasn’t kicked out. Thea probably had something to do and left on her own. Old Mrs. Sloan has always treated Thea like her own granddaughter.]
