Juliana Vanderbilt immediately lifted her head, "Why wouldn't I seek her out? She's slandering me! She's retaliating against me! I must make her clarify everything."
Now Juliana had regained some reasoning. Since Arabella Vanderbilt hadn't shown herself just now, it was unlikely she would now.
She didn't know how many tricks Arabella had up her sleeve.
And right now, she could only take one step at a time.
All she could do now was to assume that Arabella had left, or that it was impossible for her to appear again, so she had to make a big fuss about it. As long as she appeared before everyone righteous and indignant, as if she had received unfair treatment and insults, then even if the worst outcome today was not receiving the award, upon her return she would have a reason and explanation in front of the media and even the whole world.
It was Arabella who was playing tricks behind the scenes, it was someone harming her!
She was the victim.
