She Cheated on You


    Alexander was about to nod, but one look at Emeris''s icy expression made him stop. He hesitated and was unable to respond.


    Flora felt a surge of satisfaction when her daughter stood up for her so fiercely.


    She decided to take advantage of this moment to clear her name.


    After all, with so many eyes on them, it was an opportunity not to be missed.


    "That''s right, Seraphina; you don''t understand. Back then, your uncle and I went through so many hardships...unlike your Aunt Katherine."


    Seraphina cut her off. Her tone was icy and impatient.


    "Comparing what? Who''s older? Who''s more shameless?"


    As soon as she spoke, everyone in the banquet hall turned their attention to her. The atmosphere was frosty, and chilly vibes spread throughout the room. Flora''splexion turned pale as fury surged within her.


    "You... you''re so disrespectful! How dare you speak to your elders so rudely?"


    Seraphina cast a disdainful nce at her.


    A single look said everything without needing words.


    Elders?


    Did she even deserve that?


    A homewrecker had no right to demand respect.


    Grace bit her lip hard. Her body was tense, and her face was ashen with anger.


    She had hoped to use this asion to mingle with other socialites and maybe even get close to Orion.


    After the mother and daughter caused the scene, everyone would now know that she wasn''t a true Cross heiress.


    Instead of fleeing in disgrace, Grace decided to y the victim, painting Seraphina as cold and harsh. If she couldn''t win, then no one would.


    Her voice trembled as if she were on the verge of tears, making it seem as though Seraphina had bullied


    her.


    "Seraphina, why do you have to speak so cruelly?"


    Seraphina nced at her, her expression unyielding and her voice cold.


    "Quit pretending to be innocent. I can say things that are much harsher. Want to hear them?"


    She Cheated on You


    The mother and daughter had overstepped their heard aries, shamelessly clinging to the crosses. Well, too bad for them Seraphins had no qualme abwn tearing them apart, bir by bit, until they were utterly exposed, leaving them with no ce to hide. Grace''s lips trembled, and she could feel the burning gazes of those around her. Shecked the courage to confront Seraphins, but was the willing to surrender easily? She couldn''t bring herself to do that either.


    After a brief pause, she turned her teary eyes toward Alexander


    Grace grumbled, "Daddy, I don''t know what I did to uplet Seraphina"


    Her pitiful act was enough to make anyone sick.


    Among the guests were several actresses from the entertainment industry, but none could match Grace''s performance.


    Seraphina''s voice was cut through, sharp, and cold.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    She asked, "Is he really your dad? Your real dad is a security guard at one of the high-end clubs under the Cross Group, isn''t he? Just because you''re spending our Cross family''s money and living in our house, do you think that makes you one of us? Your entire family is nothing more than freeloaders, desperately clinging to my family and refusing to let go."


    She turned to Alexander and spoke ruthlessly.


    "Uncle Alexander, you''d better be careful. You might end up raising someone else''s child and even taking care of their husband."


    Ever since Flora and Grace left the housest time, Justin has ordered an investigation into their secrets.


    Gossiping was one of Justin''s specialties.


    Alexander''s face instantly darkened, his eyes cold, as he stared at Flora in disbelief.


    Without hesitation, he pped her hard across the face.


    A scream echoed as Flora stumbled, falling to the ground-a fall as dramatic as it was spectacr.


    Alexander''s voice was low and furious.


    He questioned, "Didn''t you say he died in a car ident?"


    Flora''s eyes were wide with terror as she looked up. She was trembling all over.


    "Yes... No... I... I didn''t mean to deceive you. I don''t know when he showed up."


    Grace rushed to help Flora up.


    Alexander''s gaze was icy, fixed on Grace.


    He asked, "You knew about this?"


    Grace''s flickered with guilt for just a moment, and that alone filled Alexander with deep disappointment: yes
