Her voice wasn't loud, but the words hit like a boulder dropped into a quiet lake, sending massive ripples through the crowd.
It struck a heavy chord in everyone's mind.
Seraphina instinctively looked toward Ian, who was standing beside Raelynn on the periphery of the group.
A bizarre, thrilling sensation blossomed in her chest.
Raelynn had been so incredibly smug about snagging a powerful fiancé. But what if the perfect man she had so carefully chosen didn't even belong to her after all?
Seraphina's lips twitched slightly, burying her overwhelming sense of superiority.
Sierra's passing comment instantly thrust Raelynn and Ian into the center of the drama.
Every eye in the room pivoted toward them.
Raelynn pressed her lips together, unsure of how to react.
At this critical juncture... it had to happen right at this exact moment.
This mess had latched onto her like a vengeful ghost. If Seraphina truly was the Yves heiress, would the Yves family still allow Ian to marry someone else? Or would they force the old contract?
It was a massive, dangerous unknown.
In the midst of the chaos, Raelynn felt a distinct, heavy gaze resting on her.
She looked up and met Sebastian's eyes from across the room. He was utterly unreadable. Through this entire 'farce', he hadn't spoken a single word. It was his eerie, suffocating silence and that intense, focused stare that sent a bottomless pit of unease pooling in Raelynn's stomach.
He didn't seem the least bit surprised by Seraphina's potential new identity. He was far too calm.
Raelynn's brow furrowed slightly.
Beside her, Ian's expression also tightened. He certainly hadn't anticipated Seraphina suddenly transforming into the Yves heiress. This derailed everything.
She understood exactly what Sebastian was implying. Seraphina and the Vance family were currently drowning in a sea of toxic scandals—the kind of disgrace that permanently blacklisted people in academic circles. If word got out that she might be an Yves before her identity was even verified, the resulting PR nightmare would splatter all over the Yves family.
In turbulent times, caution was paramount.
"Mr. Croix makes a valid point," Dr. Hayes said, forcing down the emotional tremor in her chest. "We will go to Seaport City."
Seaport City was their stronghold. They would have absolute control over the situation there.
"We are more than happy to cooperate," Blanche agreed immediately, showing zero signs of a guilty conscience.
But then she quickly added a small caveat. "However, Sera still has some unresolved business here. Could we possibly leave for Seaport City in three days?"
Julian's brow furrowed tightly. He opened his mouth to argue.
Dr. Hayes weakly waved her hand. "Fine. We'll do it that way."

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
