"I've really never seen it..."
Shayla Talbot's voice emanated from the recording.
It was followed by Dolly Leo's questioning and a certain someone's shameless excuses.
Until Shayla Talbot's explosive outburst, "Get away from me—"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, a stark contrast to her current delicate and pitiful appearance. It made everyone's hearts jump.
Next came a series of comments about compensating for the clothes, along with taunts about Sydney Sawyer being the Sharp family's stepdaughter. The superior, arrogant, and brazen tone of her words made everyone frown.
Many of the guests were only casual acquaintances of the Talbot family. They never imagined that Shayla Talbot, who appeared so proper, gentle, and virtuous, had such a side to her in private.
As the recording played, the color rapidly drained from Shayla Talbot's face.
Only the red imprint of the slap remained, making her face look all the more hideous and terrifying.
'She... she actually recorded it!'
