Instead of stepping in to offer assistance or reprimand Julian for his violent outburst, Eleanor, an influential older socialite in an elegant cream dress, looked down at the scene with utter coldness. Standing near the marble pillars, Eleanor casually adjusted her pearl necklace, entirely indifferent to the pain inflicted on a mother and child. "Evelyn, stop making a fuss," Eleanor stated in a dismissive, icy tone, urging the young mother to suffer in silence rather than ruin the reputation of the high-society gathering. Julian sneered at the fallen mother, convinced that his wealth and social standing made him completely immune to any consequences or retaliation.
Julian took another step forward, reaching out to grab young Lily by the arm to force her out of the venue. But he severely underestimated the fierce, protective strength of a mother defending her child. The fear and shock in Evelyn's eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a blazing, white-hot fury. Rising swiftly to her feet, the woman in the red dress planted her stance on the slippery marble floor. Before Julian could even react or raise his arms, Evelyn delivered a swift, powerful kick straight into his chest. The heavy percussion of the blow rang out across the hall as the force knocked the tall billionaire off his feet, sending him crashing heavily onto his back onto the hard marble tiles.
