At the Hernandez family.
That night, Sarah and her family not only made a spectacle of themselves in high society but also became a trending topic online. Given Sarah’s current status as a popr celebrity, the entire inte was abuzz.
“What? The supposed chosen one, the wealthy and beautiful heiress, is actually illegitimate? I’m going from being a fan to a hater. I detest mistresses and illegitimate children the most!”
“Isn’t Sarah’s mom that former famous actress, Reba? She wed her way up as a mistress. Ugh, disgusting!”
Reading the onlinements, Sarah was seething with fury, nearly grinding her teeth. in rage. This was undoubtedly the most humiliating moment of her life.
Someone had recorded the entire event on video, capturing everything from start to finish. Once it was revealed that Sarah and her mother were illegitimate, people began digging up old scandals.
Sarah’s once- -glorious reputation now bore the stain of being an illegitimate child, with a mother who had schemed her way up. The online abuse was relentless and vile.
By the time they arrived home, they were covered in rotten eggs and leaves, their faces dark with anger.
“It’s Audrey. It must be her. I won’t let her get away with this!” Sarah seethed, recalling how her reputation had been destroyed tonight, yearning to see Audrey suffer a thousand cuts.
“Audrey is insufferable. Darling, you have to stand up for our daughter this time. We can’t let her bully Sarah like this,” Reba said, her fury deepening at the thought of her beloved daughter being pped and humiliated by Audrey, forced to kneel before. her in public.
Instead of gaining prestige, they had been thoroughly shamed. Now, the whole inte. was mocking and insulting them as illegitimate. Reba thought with regret, ‘I should have killed Audrey when I married into the Hernandez family so she and her annoying mother could rot together in hell!‘
“Don’t worry. Sarah is my beloved daughter. I won’t let that wicked woman bully her,” William vowed. The disgrace they suffered today in front of high society was a blow he couldn’t bear.

“But what’s with Mr. Clifford today? Not only did he not defend Sarah, but he also threw us out. What about my dignity?” Williamined.
He had always believed that, no how embarrassing the situation, he still held the status of Dn’s future father–inw. Who would dare tough at him? Yet, Dn’s action of throwing them out further humiliated them.
“Mom, do you think Audrey will take Dn away from me now that she’s back?” Sarah. asked, her voice tinged with fear.
“Don’t worry. Audrey, a convict with an illegitimate child, even if she tries, she won’t seed. Dn might want her, but Mrs. Clifford and the entire Clifford family won’t ept someone like her,” Reba assured confidently.
“But Dn embarrassed me in front of everyone. Now, I’m sure people areughing at me, Sarahmented. Every socialite in Northville dreamed of marrying Dn, and after today’s sco, they would surely be mocking her.
“Why rush? Tomorrow, I’ll visit the Clifford Mansion and speak with Mrs. Clifford. Your engagement with Mr. Clifford should be settled soon,” Reba said.
The next day, at Northville Hospital.
In the VIP room on the top floor, where Samuel was receiving treatment, several members of the Roscente family were gathered. Dn and his associates were also
present.
“Grandpa, why hasn’t your teacher arrived yet? Do you think she’s noting?” Shawn asked anxiously. He had specially called Dn here today and was curious about his grandfather’s teacher, expecting her to be an elderly woman given his grandpa’s age.
“What’s the rush? If my teacher said she’sing, she’d definitelye,” Aaron snapped at Shawn.

“Rest assured. If I were doing the surgery, the sess rate would be around 50% at best. But with my teacher, it’s an 80-90% chance. Your grandpa will be fine.” Aaron’s words brought a sigh of relief to everyone, and their curiosity about his teacher grew.

Just then, Aaron’s phone rang<b>. </b>“You’ve arrived I’lle down to meet you. Oh, you’reing up? We’re in VIP Room No. 8 on the top floor.”
Shawn was stunned to see his usually stern grandfather so excited and happy, almost like a young man in love.
Three minutester, a figure appeared at the VIP room door. All eyes turned toward the entrance, and everyone <b>was </b>taken aback.
A young woman stood there, d in crisp, tailored ck attire, her wavy hair pulled. back into a ponytail. Her features were strikingly beautiful, exuding an air of cold detachment and a nonchnt elegance. Even as she faced the roomful of people, she maintained herposure and indifference. Her cold, exquisite beauty was indescribable.
Even those who had seen Audrey just yesterday, including Shawn and the others, were taken aback to see her here.
“Audrey, why are you here?” Cade was the first to recover from the shock, asking bluntly. He wondered, ‘Could it be that Audrey knew Dn is here and came for him?”
The Roscente family members were equally puzzled. They were familiar with Audrey, particrly recalling the infamous scene years ago when Dn personally handcuffed her and sent her to prison.
After her release from Northville Prison four years ago, she disappeared. Now, seven yearster, this once–disgraced heiress of the Hernandez family had returned.
Audrey’s indifferent gaze swept over everyone before settling on Aaron.
“Ma’am, you’ve here.” Aaron’s voice shattered the eerie silence in the room, intensifying the surreal atmosphere.
