Chapter 26


    Chapter 26


    “Miss Adina, you did a lot of shameful things in the past, so how could you show up in front of us


    again?”


    Each question was harsher than thest.


    However, Adina had already predicted that she would be asked these questions when she agreed to


    attend the party.


    She did not appear troubled, but her voice became as cold as ice. “I‘d like to use this chance to


    announce that I might be a Daugherty, but I no longer have anything to do with the Daugherty family.


    “As for the illicit photos from five years ago…” A brutal re shone in her eyes. “I believe that most of


    you have boyfriends and fiances, my dear socialites, but if I spent some money to hire detectives to


    investigate you, in half a year, the headlines of Sea City would be filled with your illicit photos, too.”


    The socialites‘ expressions changed after her words.


    Since they were daughters of rich families, they had nothing to do and often entered into rtionships


    with men.


    It was not unusual for them to sleep with various lovers as they dated people of their own status on the


    outside.


    If someone with ulterior motives followed them, they would definitely be able to capture pictures of


    them having sex…


    In an instant, no one dared to rebuke Adina anymore.


    Trent finished his wine in one go. “What a sharp tongue. She‘s seriously a woman you shouldn‘t mess


    with.”


    Duke clenched his teeth.


    The words she used to attack the socialites were a double–edged sword that stabbed her as well. She


    was indirectly admitting that the illicit photos from five years ago were real


    It meant that she had really slept with a random man before.


    For some reason, it made Duke angry.


    But once he thought about it carefully, he realized that she had to admit to it.


    If she hadn‘t slept with a man before, there was no way she could have given birth to a daughter!


    He had to be under some spell, otherwise, how could such a shameful woman affect his


    emotions


    After that, there was no mention of Adina‘s scandals in the banquet hall.


    She sighed in relief


    Even though she did not mind the people saying awful things about her, she could not handle being


    surrounded and attacked by such a huge crowd.


    She picked up a champagne flute ss to toast the guests, but a woman in a yellow gown suddenly


    approached her. “Miss Adina, did you really give birth to a pair of stillborns four years ago?”


    Her question immediately caused Adina‘s expression to turn as cold as the North pole.


    The two stillborns were the greatest taboo in her heart.


    She red at the woman who had asked the question and instantly recognized her. It was Sophia‘s


    best friend, Pam Wilson.


    It was obvious that Sophia had asked her friend to go over and ask the question.


    Adina suddenly felt that she had pped Sophia too lightly.


    By the looks of it, she needed to teach Sophia a lesson.


    When Pam saw that Adina‘s expression had changed, she smiled coldly and said, “Looks like it‘s


    true. The most beautiful woman in Sea City has already given birth, but her children died right after


    being born. Otherwise, I‘d like to see if your children inherited your looks.”


    Each of her words cut into Adina‘s heart like a knife.


    She looked up with a murderous gaze, but before she could reply, a teasing sound voice spoke from


    behind her.

    Trent had walked over with a smile and was looking at Pam‘s stomach. “I hope I‘m not being rude by


    asking this question, but how far along are you, Miss Pam?”


    Pam was stunned. “What do you mean, how far along?”


    “Your belly is huge, so you must be pregnant. Let me guess. Four months?” The wicked smile on


    Trent‘s lips was growing wider.
