CHAPTER 790 WHO IS NOBLE AND WHO IS HUMBLE, CLEAR AT A GLANCE

Chapter 790 Who is noble and who is humble, clear at a glance

Before Daphne could speak, the other person had already turned around and walked away with large

strides.

Daphne frowned, but she was not angry.

After all, the other person did seem to have urgent business.

But as a member of a middle-class family, Penelope naturally did not care about them. She took

Daphne's arm and smiled, about to greet an heir of a great family.

Suddenly, another person rushed up to them anxiously. "Sorry, Daphne, there's an urgent matter in my

family, I have to leave first!"

Without waiting for a reply, just like the first person, they turned around and left.

The scene looked as if they were being chased by a ghost from behind.

Daphne was puzzled.

Penelope pursed her lips, and her smile faded slightly.

She was puzzled, but she didn't think about it too deeply.

After all, there were many powerful people from the Riddle family here tonight. Losing one or two

people wouldn't affect her.

Just as Penelope was thinking this, suddenly another group of people rushed over, almost competing

to say:

"Sorry! Daphne, there's a sudden emergency at home, I have to leave first!"

"Madam, I also have something to attend to, I have to leave!"

Some people didn't even have greeted before turning around and leaving. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Seeing this scene, Penelope's face turned slightly pale, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Daphne's face turned cold. "What's going on?"

It wasn't just her who was puzzled. Other people at the scene were also curious and eager to ask.

"Why are so many people leaving?"

"So many guests are leaving before the cake is even cut... What's happening?"

"This is really disrespectful to the host..."

"You guys are idiots!" A voice suddenly came from a corner. "Hurry up and check online to see who

went to the Turner family's party tonight!"

This sentence stunned everyone.

Daphne was stunned.

Penelope's face still had a gentle and beautiful expression, but her hand under her sleeve had already

clenched tightly.

Who else went to the Turner family's party tonight besides Leon and that man?

Compared to the flourishing Riddle family, the Turner family, who had already fallen to the end of the

second-class families, could only invite some second-class families to support Selena's scene at most.

There was no way they could compare to the Riddle family.

It is obvious that more than just Penelope hold such thoughts, almost everyone present thinks the

same way.

However, this did not stop them from taking out their phones and watching the scene. Only when they

saw the banquet scene that had already gone viral in the media, did the people who remained in the

hall change their facial expressions instantly.

Penelope also took out her phone. When she saw a series of red-hot search titles that dominated her

Weibo, her face suddenly lost its color.

Her body shook for a moment, and her hands and feet instantly became extremely cold.

At the same time, the people who were just leisurely staying in the hall began to rush out.

"Daphne, sorry! We have urgent matters to attend to tonight, and we all have to leave first!"

Mixed with various whispers.

"We're leaving like this. Won't the Riddle family be angry?"

"Are you stupid? Penelope may be favored, but she is still an adopted daughter! The inheritance of the

Riddle family has nothing to do with her. Moreover, the Riddle family's young master and young miss

went to celebrate with Selena. Who is respected and who is despised, and where is the suspense?"

"It's damn unfortunate! Penelope's birthday had to coincide with the day the Turner family's miss had

chosen. We missed such an important opportunity!"

"I've been curious all along. Lady Nevaeh's daughter just returned to the capital, and she clearly knew

that the Turner family was going to host a banquet for her today. Why did Penelope still have to

celebrate her birthday so ostentatiously? This is obviously declaring war on the Turner family's lady!"

"If it is really a declaration of war, then this adopted daughter of the Riddle family has a very unsightly

appearance!"

"Seeing the people invited by the Turner family, I have a feeling that the sky over the capital is about to

change..."

When Penelope heard those piercing and heart-wrenching words, she lowered her head, her shoulders

trembling slightly, and began to sob softly.

Daphne looked at the empty hall in an instant and finally came back to her senses from the sudden

situation.

She hadn't had time to be angry yet when she heard the sound of gentle sobbing. She turned her head

and saw Penelope's tear-stained face, looking extremely sad but holding it in. Daphne felt heartbroken,

"Penelope, don't be sad..."

"Grandma!" Penelope couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into Daphne's arms, choking, "I

know it's all my fault over the years. I shouldn't have stolen Lady Selena's favor and incurred her

jealousy..."

"But I really don't know. Today is the Turner family's banquet, and it's not up to me to be brought back

to the Riddle family by Grandma on this day. I'm sorry..."

Towards the end, it seems like it's too difficult to continue speaking.

Daphne felt extremely sorry and couldn't contain her dissatisfaction any longer. She comforted, "It's not

your fault. It's all Selena's fault. She clearly knew that today is your birthday, but deliberately chose to

come and embarrass you. I will teach her a good lesson. Don't be sad, my dear..."

Penelope lifted her head from Daphne's embrace, her eyes red and showing a mix of distress,

melancholy, apology, and a hint of strength. "It's better not, Grandma. My brother and Hattie have

already misunderstood me. If you scold Selena again, they will probably hate me even more. It will

cause chaos at home, and I won't feel at ease..."

Daphne gently patted her back, and upon hearing her words, became even more furious. "I don't know

what Selena said to them. Since Hattie came back from Creephia, she has refused to get close to me,

even Leon has been influenced. When they come back tonight, I must have a good talk with them!"

Penelope lowered her head and wiped her tears gently. "Grandma, thank you for loving me so much..."

Out of the corner of her eye, Penelope watched as the once bustling birthday banquet suddenly

became deserted.

The sudden drop from heaven to hell made Penelope hate to the extreme.

What Penelope found even harder to accept was that from tomorrow on, she would become the

laughingstock of the entire capital, while Selena would become the envy of everyone as a princess...

This thought crossed her mind, and there was a moment of ferocity in Penelope's eyes.

...

Selena, led by Osvaldo, finished the opening dance.

Her stunning and elegant dance moves, combined with the charming aura, shocked and amazed

everyone present.

It also made the wealthy young ladies who hoped Selena, being from a "small town," would embarrass

herself during the dance, even more jealous to the point of feeling ashamed.
