"I-I'm fine, Seany. It's just that there are too many people here, and I'm a little nervous," Barbara said. She and Cecilia had entered the Worthington residence successfully. She figured they probably wouldn't be discovered by the Worthingtons since they were sitting at a table in a corner of the
Agnes' angry yell was mixed with a tinge of sourness. It reverberated in the hall and attracted everyone's gaze.They followed her line of sight to look at the corner of the hall.At that moment, Barbara's face became pale as she was gripped by fear and panic. "Mom…" Cecilia grabbed Barbara's hand
"Mom!" Tears quickly welled up in Cecilia's eyes as well. She knew Barbara was being framed. Meanwhile, Agnes felt a sense of satisfaction when she saw that Barbara was being scolded by everyone. So, she continued to throw insults at Barbara. Her tone was filled with arrogance. "That's why people
Sean was the one who had spoken up. He stood up from his seat and looked at Agnes coldly. He had been able to gather what had happened from the conversation. Raymond had probably fallen in love with Barbara, but the Worthingtons had disapproved of the relationship because of Barbara's status. But
"Alright. That's enough!" Agnes' gritted her teeth. Her shrill voice reverberated in the hall through the microphone. "Punk, did you think you could twist the truth with your words? I'll have you know that everyone here will only believe my words!""So, what?" Sean looked at Agnes nonchalantly. "Th
The sound of the resounding slap rang in the banquet hall. Everyone looked at Sean in shock.Not even in their wildest dreams had they thought someone would dare to slap a member of the Worthington family, and that too, on their own turf.Cecilia covered her mouth with both of her hands in shock. Ba

"What? Did you say that Grandma and the others are here?" Selene's heart skipped a beat."Yes! Hide yourself!" Sean said urgently.Suddenly, they heard a swoosh, and before they could move a muscle, the sounds of wind breaking resounded in the forest. The strongest presence amongst them had already
"First time?" Startled, Sean then realized what she was speaking about and chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, it was. What's the matter?""That explains it." Selene had a confident look on her face, as if she were now sure of something. "What do you mean?" Sean asked, puzzled."That explains why there's su
