Melody stood on stage, which placed her on a pedestal higher than everyone else. Her gaze was directly fixed on Theo, while Sierra, standing behind him, had been completely ignored.
Melody had followed Theo around when they were younger, which led to several people guessing that the Gray family would be connected with the Jones family through marriage.
However, out of nowhere, she decided to go abroad.
Since Theo remained single, there were a bunch of rumors claiming that he was waiting for Melody to return.
An interesting coincidence was that she returned not long after Theo and Sierra were married.
Now that she had made such a speech, everyone could not help but let their imaginations run wild.
"Ms. Jones and Mr. Gray had been quite the enviable pair back then. If Ms. Jones hadn't gone abroad that year, their children would probably be in school already."
"Mr. Gray never announced to the public that he had a girlfriend. We don't know for sure whether Ms. Jones had been his girlfriend or not. Now that he's married, she's just trying to be a homewrecker if he really is the someone special she mentioned."
"In love, the unloved is always the outsider. Sierra probably took advantage of Ms. Jones' absence to seduce Mr. Gray. She's clearly the homewrecker here."
"Wasn't Sierra dating Benson back then? How did she end up marrying Mr. Gray instead?"
…
Several people whispered about what they had just heard while looking in Theo and Sierra's direction. Some of their gazes were filled with disdain, pity…
She knew that Melody would try something, but she never expected Melody to confess so boldly. She turned to Theo, asking, "Is she talking about you?"
Theo gave her a blank look before lifting his hand to pinch her cheek. "What nonsense are you spewing?"
