Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 221

Everyone's gaze instantly fell on Makenna.

Makenna became the target of criticism.

She subconsciously wanted to hide behind Jared.

However, Jared firmly pressed his hand on her shoulder and did not allow her to dodge. He said in a low voice, "Makenna, you have done something wrong. Face it and undertake the responsibility!"

Makenna stared at him in disbelief, as if she was accusing him that not only didn't he help her, but he was asking her to admit her mistake.

Makenna bit her lip and a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes.

Although it didn't last long, Jared still caught it and was stunned.

Makenna hated him just because he didn't help her?

"It seems that Mr. Farrell has already known it. In that case, I won't keep you guessing." Mrs. Furnham took a sip of wine and said, "Just now on the second floor, I saw with my own eyes that Miss Gardner touched Miss Reed's arm, but Miss Reed didn't do anything, and Miss Gardner fell to the ground by herself."

"That is to say, Makenna pretended to be pushed down and then slandered my baby, right?" Cole became excited.

Mrs. Furnham nodded, "Yes."

Hayden and Jeremy also breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, Mrs. Furnham was on their side.

Even Jared's tightly knitted brows were eased a little.

Amber bowed to Mrs. Furnham and said sincerely, "Thank you for your testimony, Mrs. Furnham."

Mrs. Furnham smiled at her, "I'm not just doing it for you. I don't like people playing this kind of trick in my zone."

Makenna blushed.

Trenton's face was pale, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, "But the girl from the Mendez family told a different story. She saw it with her own eyes that Amber pushed Makenna away."

"Oh, really? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Mrs. Furnham looked at Chloe with the same smile.

"I... I..." Chloe was flustered at the moment. She didn't expect that Mrs. Furnham was on the second floor just now.

Chloe glanced at Mrs. Furnham, then at Makenna and Trenton.

Makenna nodded to Chloe, "Chloe, tell them that you saw it."

"That's right. Chloe, just tell us. Since you saw it with your own eyes, tell us the truth." Trenton also supported.

"I..."Chloe hesitated. Facing this group of people whose status was higher than hers, she felt much more pressured. In the end, she couldn't help but suddenly burst into tears, "I... I didn't see it with my own eyes."

"What?" Trenton's expression changed drastically, "You didn't?"

Killing intent flashed across Makenna's eyes.

Damn it, Chloe betrayed her!

Chloe didn't dare look at Trenton and his daughter. She lowered her head and stuttered, "I… I was so enraged by Amber at that time that… I didn't notice Makenna at all. When Makenna screamed, I found that she was on the floor, but I didn't see how she fell down."

"You..."Trenton's hands were trembling, "Then why did you say that you saw it?"

"Because Makenna is my friend, so..."

"So you just said you saw it with your own eyes." Amber sneered, "It seems that you're really a good friend of Makenna, but she doesn't treat you in the same way."

"What?" Chloe looked at Makenna blankly.

Jared looked down at Makenna because of Amber's words.

As Makenna felt their gaze, she quickly hid the anger and killing intent in her heart and showed a sad face to Chloe.

Chloe immediately ignored Amber's words. She felt guilty for betraying her friend Makenna.

"Makenna, I'm sorry, I..."

Makenna turned her head away from her.

Chloe drooped her head in dejection.

Mrs. Furnham saw everything and shook her head slightly.

Amber smiled, "I think Miss Gardner should apologize to Mrs. Furnham too. You've spoiled the banquet and everybody's mood. Secondly, it's because of your outfit."

Her outfit?

Everyone looked at Makenna's dress.

Some smart people figured it out and immediately laughed.

Some of them were still confused, such as Cole and Hayden.

Jeremy knew what Amber meant.

Jared was also able to see the problem. He pursed his thin lips tightly and asked, "Makenna, who styled you?"

"What's wrong with my look?" Makenna had obviously not realized what had happened.

Amber smiled, "There's nothing wrong with your dress. The problem lies with the fur stole on your shoulder and the clutch bag in your hand."

"Yeah." Mrs. Furnham's face darkened, "This is the second reason why I asked you to leave. The theme of this banquet is protection of wild animals. Everyone else is dressed properly, but you are wearing fur and holding a crocodile-skin bag. Are you trying to humiliate us?"

Hearing this, Trenton took a deep breath, and then berated at Makenna, "Tell me, who told you to dress like this!"

He didn't notice it until now that this girl had broken the dress code of tonight completely.

He felt like he was losing it.

"Nobody. It's me... No, it's her. Amber deliberately trapped me!" Makenna seemed to have thought of something and raised her hand to point at Amber.

Everyone looked at Amber again.

Jared frowned, "Makenna, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. It's really her. She made me wear this!" Makenna stomped her feet anxiously.

Trenton had a reason to target Amber again, "Well, it's you."

Cole and the other two wanted to say something, but Amber stopped them.
