Chapter 5

Blaire was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at them calmly and uttered, "I think I already mentioned it before. I was the one who saved you during the earthquake."

She was about to marry Matthew, so she hadn't thought of using this matter to win their favor. She was merely stating the facts, yet the three brothers immediately exploded with anger.

"Now you're even getting an accomplice to help you put on a show to deceive us."

"Do you think we would believe your nonsense by doing this? We know very well who saved us."

"Blaire, no matter how well you pretend or try to win us over, we'll never marry you."

Blaire was not surprised when she heard these words, as if she had expected it. They wouldn't believe it. Even if the evidence was right in front of them, they still wouldn't believe it.

Thus, this would be the last time. She would never say a word about it again in the future.

She shut her eyes and wanted to drive them away, but Brandon suddenly spoke. "We've long known about the earthquake, but Tammy's face is still swollen from your slap. You must kneel and apologize to her."

Blaire could hardly believe what she was hearing. It was just a slap; how could it still not have healed by now?

Moreover, it was Tammy who had broken her stuff. They had already thrown her into the pool to humiliate her, and now they wanted to force her to kneel and apologize?

"She broke my thing. Why should I apologize to her?"

When he saw her refusal, Anthony's eyes instantly turned cold. With an imposing demeanor, he said in a deep voice, "You have to go today."

He then ordered his bodyguards. "Bring her over and make her kneel before Tammy. She can only leave when Tammy forgives her."

Not only Blaire, but even the doctor found it completely outrageous. He wanted to defend her but was restrained by the bodyguards.

A burly bodyguard forcibly removed the IV needle from Blaire's hand, and another bodyguard dragged her off the hospital bed. She was utterly weak and barely recovered, having no strength to resist at all.

The moment she was pushed out the door, she braced her body firmly against it, upholding her dignity as the daughter of the Presley family.

She hadn't done anything wrong. There was no way she would apologize, especially not to the housemaid's daughter who had slandered her.

Her fingertips turned white from the force, and tears fell in large drops as she cried out, "If you dare force me to apologize, I'll end myself today."

The defiance and stubbornness in her eyes struck the three brothers deeply. It was the first time they had seen her cry after all this time. Seeing her so emotional, they were a little surprised and inexplicably panicked.

After a long silence, Anthony's expression grew uneasy as he coldly warned. "We'll let it slide this time. If you dare to bully Tammy again, we won't let you off so easily next time."

Brandon's and Cameron's expressions also softened, and they were no longer as firm as before. "Let her go."

After being released, Blaire leaned tightly against the wall. It wasn't until the three brothers had left that her tears began to fall uncontrollably.

She stayed in the hospital for a full three days. She was only discharged after her body had recovered.

The first thing she did after being discharged from the hospital was not to go home, but to buy a few bouquets of flowers and hurried to the house Matthew gave her. She planned to complete the final touches.

But when she opened the door of the house, she could hardly believe what she saw. The meticulously decorated house was now in a complete mess.

All the wedding decorations were removed and replaced with pink and white decorations and balloons, featuring the words, "Happy 23rd Birthday, Tammy!"

The cute, cozy, and festive ornaments were all covered in cream and colorful ribbons.

The music was deafening, and everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the birthday celebration. The noisy crowd was fooling around in the villa, and the five-layer giant cake had almost become a weapon in their cake fight.

Blaire felt as if her heart had stopped. She fought to keep her composure as she walked over to unplug the speaker, cutting the music off abruptly.
