Robin’s slap sent Wren flying, shocking the surrounding guests into a frenzy. This was the Lynches‘ grand birthday celebration, hosted by one of Brighton’s most powerful families, and no one could believe someone would dare cause trouble here.
Everyone was curious to see who dared to pull such a stunt–something completely unprecedented in the Lynches‘ history.
Angela and Jade, who were admiring the garden views, heard the commotion and noticed guests gathering
the direction of Vera’s room. Angela flagged down a server nearby. “What’s going on over in the southeast wing?”
The server nervously replied, “Ms. Lynch, Ms. Fitzgerald, the disturbance is in Ms. Silva’s room.
“Ms. Cerys brought a man over to see Vera. I think he’s Ms. Silva’s boyfriend, and for some reason, he got into a fight with Ms. Wren and hit her.”
Angela’s lips curled into a sly smile. “This is about to get interesting. Come on, Jade, let’s go enjoy the show,”
Jade hesitated. “Angela, I remember hearing that Vera had a boyfriend back in Harmonfield who was supposedly pretty skilled. Do you think that’s him?
“Tall, confident, and good–looking? Probably.
“There were even rumors that Vera’s boyfriend is a general. Think there’s any truth to that?”
Angela raised her brows in surprise. “A general? Really? If he were a general, he wouldn’t be that young. Generals are at least in their forties, right?”
Jade nodded. “Exactly. It doesn’t add up. If he were a general, he’d have to be older.”
Angela smirked with a spark of excitement. “Honestly, I’d love it if Vera had a powerful boyfriend. It would be the perfect way to shut Wren down.”
“Just look at her–acting like she’s the Lynches‘ real heiress,” Jade scoffed. “Come on, let’s watch Marie and Wren make their ‘grand debut at Lynch Mansion.
“I heard Vera’s made a name for herself in Harmonfield, and it’s all thanks to her boyfriend.
“A few weeks ago, Jamie tried to take over Vera’s company, but her boyfriend shut it down.
“Word is that he even took out Lewis.”
Angela’s eyes widened. I’ve been studying abroad, so I had no idea. Our family’s been through a lot, it
seems.
“If Vera’s boyfriend is as strong as people say, this is going to be quite the show. Wren’s in for it. Haha… Jade sneered. “Does Wren think she can just walk in here and play the part of the Lynches‘ heiress? She’s dreaming”
As they reached the edge of the gathering crowd, Vincent came over from behind them. “What’s going on
here?” he asked.

Angela smirked. “Dad, I heard that Vera’s boyfriend showed up and got into a fight with Wren. He didn’t
hold back
Wren got hit? Is that right?” Vincent’s face darkened. “Outrageous! Who dares…”
Wanda Reiss, his wife, tugged on his arm. “Let it go, Vincent. This isn’t your place to interfere. Do the Lynches even consider you one of their own anymore?
“And I heard your mother’s death might have been their doing, too.
Vincent’s expression darkened. “Don’t talk nonsense! Those are just baseless rumors!
“As for what’s happening here, let’s go see for ourselves.
“After all, this marriage alliance between the Lynches and Northlorn Residence was arranged by Mrs. Lynch for Kenneth’s family–it has nothing to do with us.”
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Vincent listened to the whispers around him, feeling a surge of bitterness. Although he was, in name, the Lynches‘ second son, his mother had been just a concubine, a fact that marked him as unimportant within the family.
Ever since Steven fell ill, his family and Sophie’s had been pushed further to the margins. Now, hearing about the disturbance Vera’s boyfriend was causing, they were more than content to watch from the sidelines
“Hey, how did Kenneth’s illegitimate daughter end up getting hit?”
Today, Mrs. Lynch invited them here to formally announce their move into Lynch Mansion. How could they get attacked here?”
They got beaten up badly. Her face is swollen, and she even lost a tooth.”
Who would hit someone so brutally?”
“It was that man who just came into Lynch Mansion–the one Wren claimed had a fake invitation.”
“He hit Wren. Honestly, he’ll be lucky to make it out of here alive today.”
A crowd murmured in low voices as they gathered around. Amid the crowd, Jamie supported an elderly woman with silver hair as they strode toward Vera, her face twisted in anger.
“Who dares to stir up trouble in Lynch Mansion?” the elderly woman–Viola–demanded, glaring icily ar
Robin
Marie immediately burst into tears and rushed forward. “Mother, it was Vera who brought her low–class lover here to make trouble! Wren saw them, and then he beat her up like this. You can’t let him getaway
Jamie pointed at Robin. “Grandma, that’s the guy I told you about before–Robin. Call for our house expert Johannes and have him take him down and kill him!”
Vipla narrowed her eyes, watching Robin from afar, and tapped her cane on the ground.
“Vera. I’m your grandmother. My invitation to this celebration was meant to show that the Lynches have forgiven your mother and the Silvas.

“I had hoped you’d set aside the past so you could truly become the Lynches‘ rightful heiress. But how. could. you bring a lowly man like this here to cause chaos?
“What’s more. I’ve arranged for you to marry Mr. Hendrix from Northlorn Residence, to give you a good future. How could you be so unreasonable?”
Vera scoffed. “Grandmother? Once, I thought I had a grandmother. But now I’m sure that my real grandmother is long dead!
You pretend all of this is for my good, but it’s all for the Lynches to gain a new ally.
NVhen you drove my mother away, were you thinking about what was best for us then?
“Inviting me here to celebrate your birthday? It was all a lie!
Tm nothing but a bargaining chip in the Lynches‘ deal with Northlorn Residence!
You pull such despicable moves and pretend to be the good guy. Don’t you feel any shame?
“All these years, I believed you were a good person, but now I know you’re the worst!
“You’re nothing but a selfish, malicious old woman!
“It was you who orchestrated the scheme that drove my mother out of the Lynches!
“I read my mother’s diary. She wrote about you. I’m certain she was deliberately set up by you!”
