"If the matter was really designed, then I am highly suspicious of her to be involved as well."
Everybody looked at Madam Brown as Mantisha pointed to her.
"Immediately after the incident happened,she did not intend to help Miss Smith, nor did she comfort her. But started to scold her thoroughly. She even blamed Miss Smith for ruining her dress to attract attentions. When I tried to help her, she accused me to be an acquaintance of her."
After a second of pause, Mantisha continued, "She deviated the facts and misleaded the public opinion to pressure us. Not only Miss Smith, but I was also affected by her verbal attacks." She emphasised on the last part of her words deliberately. She knew that Uncle Adi was smart and he would get the hint.
Adi's frown deepened. He did not expect her to seek his help like this. Though the matter was disturbing and a girl's reputation was on line, but he could not help but to be a little happy to listen her.
Adi was not eager to let this Madam Brown come here. Generally he had sent invitations to every renowned family by mentioning the senior couple's names and that allowed two more people to come with them. But despite of his dissatisfaction to the Brown family, he invited President Brown. But in his card, it was not said that Madam Brown was also invited. This hint could easily be grabbed by any wise person, thus he thought that President Brown would not bring her here even without ruining his image. He became angrier by just thinking about his bluntness.
"Where is President Brown?" He asked Arthur, his secratary in a low voice.
Peter Brown was just standing behind a few people and trying to understand what was happening. He arrived a little late. He was embarrassed by the fact that unlike others, he had to come here without his wife. Not that he liked to be seen with her but still, she was his wife and coming here together would clear the rumours about their bad relationships.
But he was quite surprised by the fact that even without him, his wife had managed to come here and that's also earlier than him. He was just waiting for a chance to go to her and ask for an explanation. But he did not imagine such an incident would break out.
Thus when he heard Arthur was searching for him, a cold sweat broke on his forehead. He hastily went to him to ask the reason of his summon.
'No, I did not do anything directly. If I don't admit, they can't prove anything. That girl did not see me earlier. I would be safe.' Cindy was shaking inside, yet she made up her mind to stick on her standpoint and not admit anything.
"President Brown." Adi looked at Peter with a smile that did not reach to his eyes, "One of my honourable guests was humiliated. And my... One of my people said that she suspected your wife was involved in it. Do you have anything to say?"
"Mister Roy..." Peter Brown intended to explain something but after seeing his darkening expression, he shut his mouth immediately. Peter Brown has a company that did well in clothing field. Their turnover was not something to be neglected either. However in the competition with the other world famous brands, his brand remained local and their franchises started to decrease when they did not produce something stunning in a long while. Their shops started to becoming empty as people started running after limited edition dresses and the imitations followed after that. With the constantly dropping share values, a wife with uncontrollable gambling habit and a equally troublesome daughter, he was devastated.
He already had an idea that Mr. Roy did not want his wife to come today, but he had no idea even without an invitation card how did she appear.
Peter ran towards his wife, grabbed her arm as he roared, "What did you do this time?"
Cindy's arm was hurting. She felt a bruise is going to appear soon. Frowning in pain she retorted, "What did I do wrong? That girl seemed to be here to seduce men and danced so vulgarly. When she felt that was not enough, she even pretend to trip and torn..."
'Pah'
A sound of a hard slap rang in the ears of people present there.
Cindy held her left cheek and looked at Peter in disbelief. After more than two decades of their marriage, though they had quarrels but he did not raise his hands on her, ever. But today...
"You dare to hit me? You bast**d."
"Who are you cursing, you fool..." Peter screamed out of frustration. At this moment, he would not dare to offend President Roy at all. But this silly wife of him, it was like she had decided to drown together with him.
"Enough." Adi's roar was sounded through the hall. "I can't believe such people belong from A Country's aristrocrats." By just a sentence, he clearly indicated that people who agree with her or help her, was not worthy to be called as aristrocrats.
"As for the matter happened here, I would call police to investigate and..." He looked towards Lily as he said, "I will make sure to PUNISH THE PEOPLE INVOLVED."
A cold shiver ran through that man's spine, who had danced with Lily. 'If Mister Roy say he would make sure to punish me, that means he would go through every possible ways to make me rot in jail for a lifetime.' He thought to himself.
Cindy was no exception as well. She just wanted to come here initially. She even seduced a director of The Roy's Hotel Chains, and accompanied him for a few days. Out of his generosity, he agreed to take her with him. That man was divorced and quite lonely. After coming here she fell for that Miss Carter's words, and wanted to make some quick money. If he were to know her being this cheap and causing so much trouble here, he might never see her face again. Moreover, by seeing the scary face for Peter, she would be lucky if he would not ask her for a divorce. Everything went wrong just after this girl had interrupted. She wanted to run and tear that bi*chy face of her apart.
She was just going to say something to Adi, but suddenly Arthur called him in a low voice.

Three... Two... One...
The show starts now. Are you ready for it? ;)
I miss Judy. If she were to know Mantisha might get bullied, she would fight to death with all the people present here.
