She walked forward and wanted to stop Earl Dray, but An Luo walked up to her.

“Miss Li, don’t go.”

With An Luo blocking her, how could Li Qingxue dare to step forward? She could only keep giving Earl Dray looks.

However, Earl Dray was completely immersed in Xia Wanyuan’s anger of cheating and could not understand the meaning in Li Qingxue’s eyes.

The staff had already been brought over. Facing so many big shots, the staff trembled in fear and fell to the ground.

“Tell me, who instructed you to change these equipment!” Earl Dray was already tall and had a rough face. When he spoke to someone in such a fierce tone, ordinary people could not withstand such an aura.

“Earl, I, I didn’t.” Everyone in the palace knew about Li Qingxue’s father-daughter relationship with Earl Dray. If they exposed Li Qingxue, wouldn’t they offend both sides?

However, Earl Dray could not take this lying down. He was a sharpshooter. How could he lose to Xia Wanyuan in front of so many people? He insisted on proving that Xia Wanyuan had cheated to win this competition.

“You’re not going to tell me, right?” Earl Dray called for his subordinate. “Lock him up for interrogation.”

The staff was frightened, but he did not dare to say that it was Li Qingxue. He could only struggle and be brought down.

Since the staff did not confess, Earl Dray got someone to check the surveillance cameras.

The Queen watched Earl Dray’s actions from the side and felt that he was too petty. She wanted to stop him.

Prince Charlie seemed to know something and leaned towards the queen to attract her attention.

In front of everyone, Earl Dray pulled out the surveillance cameras.

Then he fell silent.

Because in the video, the person who was whispering to the staff was his own daughter, Li Qingxue.

Everyone’s gazes became complicated.

This matter was interesting. 

No one was a fool. They could easily guess the joints. Li Qingxue must have wanted to tamper with Xia Wanyuan’s gun, but she had accidentally harmed her father.

Li Qingxue’s entire face was already red. She looked at Earl Dray for help, but in his anger, Dray slapped Li Qingxue’s face. Li Qingxue’s face instantly swelled up.

She looked at Earl Dray in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears. “Father.”

“Shut up. I don’t have a daughter like you!!” Earl Dray was not angry about what Li Qingxue had done, but because Li Qingxue had embarrassed him in front of so many people.

The matter had become like this, making Earl Dray look like a joke. The Queen finally could not help but stand up. “Enough. Madam Jun is brilliant. There’s no need to compete anymore. Earl Dray, admit defeat.”

Earl Dray originally wanted to compete with Xia Wanyuan again, but facing the queen’s pressure, he did not dare to say anything else. He could only admit it and nod reluctantly at Xia Wanyuan. “Madam Jun is indeed amazing. I admit defeat.”

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Li Qingxue, who was crying, and said calmly, “Earl Dray isn’t bad either.”

This banquet ended in a farce.

Earl Dray was originally the backbone of the Second Prince.

However, after this banquet ended, the situation of Earl Dray and Xia Wanyuan’s competition spread throughout Continent O through the various nobles.

Overnight, the reputation of the Dray family plummeted.

In the end, Prince Charlie became the biggest beneficiary.
