Chapter 26
“Miss Adina, you did a lot of shameful things in the past, so how could you show up in front of us again?”
Each question was harsher than the last.
However, Adina had already predicted that she would be asked these questions when she agreed to attend the party.
She did not appear troubled, but her voice became as cold as ice. “I‘d like to use this chance to announce that I might be a Daugherty, but I no longer have anything to do with the Daugherty family.
“As for the illicit photos from five years ago…” A brutal glare shone in her eyes. “I believe that most of you have boyfriends and fiances, my dear socialites, but if I spent some money to hire detectives to investigate you, in half a year, the headlines of Sea City would be filled with your illicit photos, too.”
The socialites‘ expressions changed after her words.
Since they were daughters of rich families, they had nothing to do and often entered into relationships with men.
It was not unusual for them to sleep with various lovers as they dated people of their own status on the outside.
If someone with ulterior motives followed them, they would definitely be able to capture pictures of them having sex…
In an instant, no one dared to rebuke Adina anymore.
Trent finished his wine in one go. “What a sharp tongue. She‘s seriously a woman you shouldn‘t mess with.”
Duke clenched his teeth.
The words she used to attack the socialites were a double–edged sword that stabbed her as well. She was indirectly admitting that the illicit photos from five years ago were real
It meant that she had really slept with a random man before.
For some reason, it made Duke angry.
But once he thought about it carefully, he realized that she had to admit to it.
