If Tilda ends up getting dragged off by the cops, won’t that make the Jensons look bad in front of everyone?

Even now, Blair’s biggest concern was how the family’s image would look.

But Daphne was way too angry to care.

Blair decided to wait until Daphne calmed down before trying to speak up for Tilda.

“Oh?”

Alfie answered Daphne’s outburst with just one calm word.

His sharp, teasing eyes locked on Tilda.

“Is what she’s saying true?”

Tilda stayed cool. “There’s security footage. Go watch it. She tried to hit my friend first. I just stepped in to protect her.”

“Of course.”

Alfie snapped his fingers.

Sky Dining was one of the best restaurants in Slosa, famous for running like clockwork.

Even the manager never bowed or tried to please rich women from the Bells and Jensons.

But when she heard about the footage, Daphne started to look uneasy.

The video started playing a moment later.

After watching, Alfie turned to Daphne. “Ma’am, the footage shows exactly what this young lady said. You clearly struck first. She only defended herself.”

The proof was obvious.

Daphne argued anyway. “I–I only meant to scare her! I wasn’t actually going to hit her! Look at my wrist- she did this to me. How can you call that self–defense?”

Tilda smirked without pity. “Did you even go to school?”

“What did you say?!”

“According to Section 736 of the Criminal Code, any proper response to an attack counts as self–defense. I grabbed your wrist to stop you. That’s it–no back–and–forth fight.

“If that’s not self–defense, then what is? Guess you’re not that smart, huh?”

Daphne was so furious she could barely breathe.

Who does she think she is?! No one has ever talked to me like this since I was a kid!

Before marrying Ryan, Daphne had been a spoiled daughter from a rich family.

After marrying into the Bells, she became one of the most respected women in Slosa.
