Tessa’s eyes darted as she prepared to make a preemptive move.

She looked at Gina and said, “Mobile phones are not allowed in the banquet hall. Why are you breaking the rules? You should know I can report you right now and have the organizers kick you out.”
Gina crossed her arms and looked at Tessa.
She knew Tessa, who was the Chief Dancer.
After spraining her ankle some time ago, Tessa had not participated in any dance competitions since.
She even missed the competition for the Chief Dancer title, and now the title belonged to someone else.
The two people beside Tessa looked at Gina and suddenly burst into laughter. “I was wondering who it was–turns out it’s you, Gina Clark. The new starlet who climbed the ranks through the casting couch. No wonder you two are together.
“Someone of your status wouldn’t have been invited by the organizers. Did you sneak in?
“I’ll have to tell the organizers and kick you out!”
Gina’s expression grew somber.
Xylia suddenly let out a soft laugh and stepped forward to take Gina’s phone.
She shielded Gina behind him without betraying any emotion.
Then, she slid the video’s progress bar forward and successfully saw the footage showing Tessa, her friends, and Sonny framing her.
She smiled and said, “The organizer did not prohibit everyone from bringing mobile phones. You chose not to bring yours, but you can’t stop others from doing it.”
As she spoke, she held up that video clip in front of Tessa. “Ms. Schultz, why don’t you post this video online and let everyone judge for themselves if you’re wrong?”
One of Tessa’s friends mocked, “Even if you post this video online, we’re just making a few comments without knowing the full story. Do you really think you’re somebody that so many netizens would stand behind you?”
Xylia said calmly, “Is that so? Would you like to give it a try?”

Xylia paid no attention to what the two said; her eyes were fixed only on Tessa’s face.
She wasn’t familiar with others, but she knew Tessa extremely well.
Tessa’s dancing skills were not top–notch; her appointment as chief dancer was merely the result of Connor’s behind–the–scenes manipulation.
Back then in Jupiton, Tessa deliberately arranged to sprain her ankle in order to avoid participating in this year’s round of the principal dance competition because she knew she would not win this year.
Leon said that Tessa had previously taken the initiative to approach him and make friends, which suggested she intended to enter the entertainment industry.
Before she officially entered the entertainment industry, she would not actually reveal her own scandals to the public.
The influence of this video was limited, but Gina currently had some online popularity. If this matter started to ferment online, there would definitely be some stir.
Xylia knew that Tessa did not dare to take the risk.
As expected, Tessa, with a livid expression, looked at Xylia and, after a long pause, finally spoke, “I wrongly accused you, Xylia. I hope you will not be upset.”
The two beside Tessa looked at her, both appearing somewhat stunned.
However, upon seeing Tessa’s glance signaling them not to continue speaking, they inevitably suppressed their impulse to continue speaking.
Xylia returned the mobile phone to Gina.
She no longer wished to speak with them and took Gina by the hand, about to leave.
Tessa suddenly said, “But Xylia, even Sonny doesn’t trust your character. You’re really too much of a failure.”
Xylia lowered her head and looked at Sonny,
Sonny had just committed perjury once again, thrusting her into another conflict.
She saw Sonny lower his eyes, guiltily avoiding her gaze.
She gave a nonchalant smile. “For you, Ms. Schultz, he is willing to commit perjury time and again, and repeatedly harm his own biological mother. Children, after all, do not yet comprehend the concept of moral character.”

With that, she left arm in arm with Gina.
However, Sonny was frightened pale by the words left behind by Xylia.

He watched her departing figure, his entire body immobilized as if nailed to the spot.
It turned out that she was aware.
She knew that the false testimony about the hit–and–run was deliberately fabricated by him. She knows the repeated harm inflicted upon her by him and Connor.
At that moment, Sonny felt his blood freeze and his mind go completely blank.
Tessa called out to Sonny twice, but he did not hear her.
It was not until Tessa gently patted his face that he came back to his senses. “What’s wrong, Tessa?”
Tessa frowned. “Why are you still calling me Tessa? I’m your mom now.”
“Mom… Mom…” He mumbled the word twice, struggling to finally utter it.
He found it strange. In the past, he was eager for Tessa to become his mother as soon as possible.
But now that Tessa had truly become his mother, he was, on the contrary, less happy.
Had he not kept pestering to attend the dinner together today, he would have been left at the hotel.
However, after coming along, when he saw all kinds of unfamiliarity in Xylia’s eyes, he felt afraid again and regretted having come with Tessa.
Tessa said, “By the way, you did really well just now–how about I reward you with some dessert?”
When Sonny heard the word ‘dessert,‘ he felt a throbbing pain in his molars.
During this period, he ate sweets whenever he wanted, and Tessa continually provided him with candy; as a result, he developed cavities.
In the past, Xylia certainly would not have allowed him to eat so many candies,
If he had cavities, Xylia was also undoubtedly the first to notice.
Sonny shook his head. “Mommy, I have a toothache and don’t want to eat desserts.”
