Chapter 1928
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 they would 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 much blood 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 big day and the ceremony will begin soon. Stella looks fine. Someone probably
accidentally dropped an oil bottle, covering the stairs with oil. We should put this aside

Felicity could not hold back her temper upon hearing that," Are you hearing yourself? Are
you sure she looks fine? If someone did accidentally drop an oil bottle, the oil should be all
over the place. Look at this; 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 is a 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 want Keegan 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 your elders. After getting together with such an uneducated woman, you became rude.
Look at how you've degraded. 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. You were a part of the Kane family back then, and I had to show some respect to
you. Now that you're no longer 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 judge me as if you are
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 had succeeded. After organizing the words in her head, Dahlia was about to say
something, but Keegan beat her to it.
"Mrs. Chapman, this incident happened in your hotel. I demand an explanation on whether
it's an accident 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. She then looked at Olivia, who gave her a reassuring glance.
"We take full responsibility for what happened. I've instructed the manager to retrieve the
surveillance footage. Everyone here can watch it later. If it turns out that the incident
happened because of our negligence, I'll be sure to apologize and compensate Ms. Hall
accordingly."
After a while, the manager came back with a copy of the footage.
