Chapter 83: Use Your Brain, Fool
"LARIETTE! This is all your fault!"
Everyone in the dressing room was shocked into silence once they heard Stephanie screaming earlier. Her blind accusation at Lariette turned them even more stunned.
A few people exchanged horrified glances, thinking something was wrong with Stephanie.
"What did she say?"
"Is she mad?"
"Stephanie, are you drunk? Why drag Lariette into this?"
Stephanie was still clinging to Samantha who was as surprised as the others. Her reddened eyes glared at Lariette, not bothering with what the relatives had just said.
Lariette was standing by Chairman Delaney’s side, one of her hands grasped the back of his chair. Staring straight ahead at Stephanie, she was a picture of calm amidst the storm in the dressing room.
Ruediger stood towering next to Lariette. Pushing both hands into the pockets of his pants, his emerald eyes scanned Stephanie. Displeasure was evident on his face.
"This is all your fault!" Stephanie shrieked, infuriated at the sight of Lariette’s calm demeanor, "You framed me, don’t you? You always try to ruin my happiness! I know you’re jealous of me!"
Stephanie’s voice rose historically, hinting at her desperation. Her baseless accusations earned gasps from the gathered relatives, all eyes looking at her in disbelief.
