The manager was also shocked and quickly asked the on- duty staff about what had happened.
However, none of them had a clue.
Keegan told Olivia to prepare a room and had Lena take Stella inside to check on her.
Dahlia was not surprised to see what happened at all.
They had been hiding the news of Stella's pregnancy from the public. It was very unlikely that theywould disclose it at a time like this.
However, Dahlia figured that the baby in Stella's belly had no chance of making it, given how muchblood she had lost.
Dahlia felt very happy upon thinking about that.
Then, she stepped forward and spoke in a gentle tone," Keegan, it's Mrs. Chapman's daughter's bigday and the ceremony will begin soon. Stella looks fine. Someone probably accidentally dropped an oilbottle, covering the stairs with oil. We should put this aside and investigate it later. Let's not delay theceremony because of this."
Felicity could not hold back her temper upon hearing that," Are you hearing yourself? Are you sure shelooks fine? If someone did accidentally drop an oil bottle, the oil should be all over the place. Look atthis; this is clearly smeared on purpose, and it's so even, too! Someone must've done this!"
Dahlia glanced at Felicity and said, "Who would deliberately smear oil on the stairs for no reason?There are so many people going up and down the stairs, but why is she the only one who fell? Today isa big day for the newlyweds. Who will take responsibility if the ceremony is delayed because of this?"
Felicity stomped her foot in anger, "You're the one who did this, aren't you? This is why you don't wantKeegan to investigate it and keep trying to brush it off!"
Dahlia's expression darkened, "Watch your words! Get lost if you're simply trying to stir things up!"
Vermont grabbed the agitated Felicity and smiled, "Ms. Crosby, you went a little too far with your words.We were invited here to attend the wedding of Mrs. Chapman's daughter. We brought wedding gifts,and we're here to give the couple our blessings. What right do you have to tell us to get lost?"
With a cold expression, Dahlia retorted, "Vermont, you used to be so polite when speaking to yourelders. After getting together with such an uneducated woman, you became rude. Look at how you'vedegraded. If your parents saw you like this, they would be heartbroken!"
Vermont chuckled, "Ms. Crosby, I was only polite to you because of Mrs. Kane Sr. and Keegan. Youwere a part of the Kane family back then, and I had to show some respect to you. Now that you're nolonger a part of them, why should
I still treat you politely? I don't know anyone from the Crosby family anyway, so you'd better not judgeme as if you arenovelbin
someone to me. To be honest, although my elders could be unlikeable, they're not shameless.”
Dahlia paused as her expression turned extremely unpleasant, "Who are you calling shameless?"
Vermont shrugged, looking innocent, "I don't think I'm calling anyone shameless."
"You-"
"Enough!" Keegan interrupted them with a stern face.
Even though Dahlia was still very angry, she quickly calmed down upon thinking that her plan hadsucceeded. After organizing the words in her head, Dahlia was about to say something, but Keeganbeat her to it.
"Mrs. Chapman, this incident happened in your hotel. I demand an explanation on whether it's anaccident or intentional. Otherwise, I'll get the police involved."
Although Dahlia was very confident in her plan, she still could not help but feel a little nervous. Shethen looked at Olivia, who gave her a reassuring glance.
"We take full responsibility for what happened. I've instructed the manager to retrieve the surveillancefootage. Everyone here can watch it later. If it turns out that the incident happened because of ournegligence, I'll be sure to apologize and compensate Ms. Hall accordingly."
After a while, the manager came back with a copy of the footage.
