Jessica stepped forward, trying to explain. \u201c\u2018 re ke tha*\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet away!\u201d Natalie shoved Jessica acide\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica stumbled and crashed into the wall, a red mark foreng on her forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
hear*\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian rushed to grab Natalie by the arm. \u201cHow dare you hate\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without hesitation, Natalie grabbed a fistful of Lilian\u2019s hand scratched at Lilian\u2019s fare with her sharp nails. \u201d Lilian, who do you think you are?! You\u2019re just a woman who married your brother\u2013in\u2013law!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room went silent for a moment. As the Crone family\u2019s wealth and power grew, Lilian\u2019s sordid past had been buried. But now, Natalie had exposed it in front of everyone\u00a0<\/p>\n
The whispers began almost immediately. \u201cLilian married her brother\u2013in\u2013law?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t know? Her first husband was the older brother When he died, she married his younger brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe slept with the man and his brother\u2026 That\u2019s scandalous!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian, furious, lunged at Natalie, grabbing her by the hair. Shut your mouth before I tear it off!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two women fought like wild animals. Harry attempted to break them up, but Archer punched him so hard that he staggered back, blood streaming from his nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Trish grabbed Jessica, and the two started pushing each other. The scene quickly descended into chaos as both families were caught in the melee..\u00a0<\/p>\n
Edith stood, horrified, at the scene unfolding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop! Stop fighting!\u201d she screamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crash!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sound of furniture falling echoed as Lilian and Natalie collided with the table the gifts were set on. A few delicate glass ornaments fell, scattering across the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy ornaments!\u201d Edith cried in distress, her voice breaking\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the commotion, the two women knocked into a decorative box. Stanley\u2019s gift, \u201cThe Flower\u2013Adorned Lady\u201c, fell to the floor and was torn to pieces under their feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Edith collapsed onto the ground, her heart breaking. \u201cMy painting! Stop fighting! You\u2019re ruining my birthday!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside, Wendy watched coldly behind the curtains as chaos unfolded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was her gift to Lilian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had arranged for a maid to spill wine on Trish\u2019s dress, setting the stage for this spectacle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy observed the chaos with a sharp eye. No one understood their hypocrisy, cruelty, and selfishness better than she did. If she had been the one pinned down today, both families would have joined forces to drag her through the mud.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet the moment their interests were threatened, they\u2019d turn on each other in a heartbeat\u00a0<\/p>\n
The party at Edith\u2019s 80th birthday was certainly lively. Wendy lowered her gaze, concealing the sharp gleam in her\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At that moment, a low, magnetic voice cut through the noise. \u201cCan you take your hand off me now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy froze, suddenly aware that she and Stanley were hiding behind the curtains. Her hand had been over his mouth, her palm brushing against his sensual lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Quickly, she withdrew her hand, confused. Stanley wasn\u2019t supposed to be part of her plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She still didn\u2019t understand why he was here. Wasn\u2019t he supposed to be with Jessica?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley tugged at his tie, his voice low. \u201cWendy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He called her name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at her with those intense eyes. \u201cI feel so hot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hot?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s heart skipped a beat when she saw the heated look in his eyes. His gaze was burning with desire, his eyes swirling with emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s stomach dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, no. He must have inhaled the lingering aphrodisiac gas in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
