No wonder she had been summoned. She was involved too, a victim who had nearly been framed for the whole ordeal. Dr. Evelyn Hayes had clearly called her here to set the record straight.
Sylvia Dalton recoiled, visibly shaken by Blanche's accusation. Panic flashed across her face as she instinctively gripped Quentin Yves's arm, completely blindsided by the sudden attack.
Quentin's brow furrowed into a deep scowl. "Watch what you say. You can't just throw around baseless accusations."
Blanche glared at the way Sylvia clung to Quentin. Her lips twisted into a bitter frown. "Every word I said is the truth. Don't you all think the timing of this accident is a little too convenient? Sera was on the verge of finally returning to the Yves family, and suddenly she nearly loses her life! Who exactly stands to gain from her not making it back?"
Seraphina Vance stood there, her face terrifyingly pale. She cast a mournful glance at Sylvia. "I know you hate me. My mother told me everything that happened back then. Because my biological mother took me away and severed ties with the Yves family, you were denied your proper place. It even led to you losing your unborn child. You hate my mother for that, and you hate me, too."
Her words hit like a physical blow.
The heavy silence that followed instantly dragged the Yves family back to the tragedies of the past. Sylvia's eyes fluttered, raw hurt flashing in her gaze.
Raelynn Ortiz wisely kept her mouth shut, watching the drama unfold from the sidelines.
She was just as curious to see how this twisted web would untangle.
Seraphina wasn't finished.
"After that incident," she continued, her voice trembling slightly, "they say you could never have children again. When it comes down to it, no one in the world hates me more than you do."
It was a secret Blanche had shared with her in confidence.
The scandal had nearly torn the Yves family apart years ago.
The late Mrs. Yves had discovered their betrayal in the most brutal way possible. On that fateful day, Sylvia had approached her to announce her pregnancy. Still recovering from childbirth and at her most vulnerable, the late Mrs. Yves had erupted into a devastating argument, demanding an immediate divorce from Quentin.
Quentin, naturally, had refused.
Then she looked toward Dr. Hayes. "You have to believe me..."
Dr. Hayes remained seated in stony silence, her expression unreadable.
A massive headache throbbed behind Quentin's temples. On one side stood the woman who was practically confirmed to be his biological daughter; on the other, the partner who had stood by his side for over two decades. He tried to bridge the impossible gap. "Maybe this is all a massive misunderstanding? What if it was just a regular traffic accident?"
"Sylvia isn't an evil woman. She has a kind heart, and her health has never been strong. We need to investigate this thoroughly before making wild accusations."
"Sebastian is already looking into it. We'll know soon enough if it was an accident or foul play. The only reason I rushed over here in the middle of the night was to protect the Yves family's reputation. I wanted to handle this privately, behind closed doors."
Seraphina offered a bitter laugh.
Seeing Quentin jump to Sylvia's defense, Blanche stood up abruptly. "If we call the cops, this is going to blow up into a massive scandal. Raelynn will definitely press charges, considering someone deliberately sabotaged a vehicle belonging to her company! And when the truth finally comes out..."

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...
