However, Bianca heard Harold's deep voice at that moment.

"I'm overflowing with joy today. Not only is Nala home but I'm gathered here with all of you. Most importantly, I can finally seek justice for Ms. Harding!"

"What?" Bianca's head was spinning.

"I know there are rumors connecting Ms. Harding to Nala's disappearance over the past two days." His voice carried weight. "There was an unreported incident, but I can't believe my competition intended to use this scandal to ruin me!"

"Am I right, Ms. Mosley?"

Bianca was stunned while everyone's eyes fixed on her. She felt like she was about to collapse under the intense scrutiny.

"W-What are you saying, Mr. Patton?" Bianca asked.

"Do you truly not comprehend what I'm saying, Ms. Mosley?" Harold smiled, but his eyes remained cold.

Meanwhile, Elijah glared at her as though he could cut her into pieces.

Parents were unafraid of physical harm, no matter how brutal. They would fight to the death if someone dared to harm their child.

Lina and Zuko exchanged glances and nodded. Soon, their associates brought out Drake.

Bianca's expression changed, and she instinctively averted her gaze from Drake's piercing eyes. He had initially appeared cowardly, seemingly hoping for support when he saw her.

He struggled and screamed, "Hey... M-Ms. Bianca! You must seek justice for me!"

"What do you think you're doing?" she bellowed. "How am I supposed to do that?!"

"It was you who-"

"Yes, I gave you money," Bianca interjected. "But I did it out of pity. Your son has cut ties with you, and your adopted daughter despises you! I only helped you to keep your head above water! I can't believe your ingratitude... You must have offended the Hamerstons, didn't you?"

Although Drake was no saint, he had never distorted the truth like Bianca.

He had never stooped to her level!

He stood there, dumbfounded, unsure of what to say.

Lina sneered. "You're quite skilled at denying the truth, Ms. Mosley!"

"What are you talking about, Pamela?!" Bianca panicked. "H-He's clearly Lena's adoptive father! Why are you dragging me into this? I even advised you to stay away from Lena...

"She grew up in such a toxic environment, constantly exposed to human trafficking. With the Chriss' daughter being kidnapped, both father and daughter are undoubtedly guilty!"

"He may be Lena's adoptive father, but he followed your orders, didn't he?" Zuko rose to his feet. His icy demeanor made Bianca take two steps back.

Chris approached Lena, holding her hand.

Lena took a deep breath, her composure unshaken, her eyes resolute.

Zuko scoffed. "Bianca, don't tell me you believe that this four-star hotel is so tacky they would never repair their backyard surveillance?"

"What?" Bianca exclaimed.

Zuko gestured, and the screen on the stage descended slowly. Someone came forward to play the surveillance footage.

"The backyard surveillance was indeed malfunctioning for a while," the hotel manager explained as he took over. "However, it has been fixed for quite some time. It was operational. The issue was with file transfers, making it appear as if it was perpetually out of order.

"Thanks to the technicians from the Hamerton Group, we've successfully recovered the files!"

Bianca's face turned ashen as she stared at the screen as if she had seen a ghost.

The guests began to piece it together. "You see, I knew there had to be a reason why Mr. Patton chose this four-star hotel for the celebration party. This is it!"
