Sebastian delivered the final blow cleanly. "You keep screaming that the child is mine. I have no objection to arranging an amniocentesis for a DNA test right now."
Hearing that.
All the fight instantly drained out of Seraphina.
Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the floor, a suffocating wave of despair crushing her.
An amniocentesis... how could she ever agree to that?
However.
Her visceral reaction was a definitive answer. Everyone in the banquet hall witnessed her sheer terror, panic, and refusal firsthand.
It told everyone everything they needed to know.
Seraphina had been lying through her teeth from the very beginning.
She had resorted to underhanded tactics to latch onto Sebastian, attempting to use a fake pregnancy to force her way into power, and even when exposed, she had stubbornly played the victim to the bitter end.
The crowd erupted into furious murmurs.
"So this whole time she's just been putting on a one-woman show. If Mr. Croix actually wanted anything to do with her, would she really need to try this hard?"
"She's so young, yet so utterly shameless. She didn't even stop to consider if she was worthy."
"I knew it! Why else would Mr. Croix handle this so publicly? He had a completely clear conscience. No one airs their actual dirty laundry out in the open like this."
"Isn't she supposed to be some brilliant scholar? How trashy!"
The scathing comments poured in from all directions.
Every single word hammered into Seraphina, making her tremble violently on the floor.
Even Raelynn shot a complicated look at Seraphina's livid, pale face.
After all, Seraphina had just smugly declared that today was the day she'd be officially welcomed into the family. What an incredible plot twist...
Raelynn couldn't help but glance at Forrest, who was still sitting in the seat of honor, casually sipping his tea without batting an eye.
From the moment Seraphina marched up to demand her status, the patriarch hadn't shown a single trace of emotion.
He made it look like he was giving her a chance to plead her case, but in reality...
He was just watching her march herself straight off a cliff.
This whole banquet had been a meticulously planned trap.
The giant screen slowly scrolled through a thoroughly investigated slideshow of her darkest, most hidden past.
It documented everything that had happened during her years studying abroad.
Her chaotic social life, intimate photos with various 'boyfriends,' and her actions during university. It detailed how she had falsely accused her doctoral advisor of sexual harassment just to steal a patent. The scandal led to the professor being sued, fired, and permanently blacklisted, allowing her to monopolize his research—the crowning achievement on her supposedly stellar resume.
Everything she had achieved through these despicable methods had opened the doors to the elite medical circles.
It had all served as her stepping stone.
Meanwhile, the falsely accused professor had attempted suicide, ending up permanently paralyzed.
And alongside this, her private life was a wild, colorful mess.
The guests in the hall stared in absolute, appalled shock.
Her incredibly colorful past was laid completely bare for all to see.
Until finally...
A photograph from an obscure foreign hospital appeared.
And in the picture, Seraphina, dressed in a hospital gown, was cradling a newborn baby in her arms...

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...
