It was only at this moment that Serena finally realized Yvonne’s real father was Vincent, the Ashford family’s low–key, wife- obsessed man.
Serena didn’t know what to say.
She had always suspected Rowan.
But since everyone in the Ashford family shares the same bloodline, only the one whose DNA matched closest on the paternity test could be Yvonne’s real dad.
It seemed Dylan had already figured it out.
Serena munched on her food, enjoying the drama unfold. She thought, ‘See? Sometimes, I don’t even have to do it myself t
get revenge.
‘This kind of payback feels pretty sweet, and I don’t even have to get my hands dirty.‘”
“Ah… Lacey, stop! Let go of me!” Beatrice was a wreck, breathless and gasping after the beating.
Lacey finally released her, and Beatrice’s face was scratched all over, her nose bleeding, and every claw mark burned.
Her elegant hair had come undone, making her look even more pitiful and messy.
Naomi, across from Beatrice, was stunned by the scene.
After hearing Lacey’s words, Naomi could only think, ‘Beatrice deserved every bit of it.
Beatrice caught her breath, then suddenly turned to Serena, dropping all pretense of dignity and screaming furiously, “Serena, was it you? When did you find out about Yvonne?”
Serena was a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected to get dragged into this mess.
She glanced at the furious Lacey, then at Beatrice, and explained, “I knew Dylan and Yvonne weren’t real siblings because she’s just as vicious as you. I just suspected it, so I told Dylan, and he looked into it.
“But seriously, that’s messed up. Even a husband?”

Serena’s last words really pushed Lacey over the edge.
Lacey snapped, kicking Beatrice hard. “You bitch, are you seriously that thirsty for a man? Drugging, getting knocked up. trapping Nolan into marriage, every single thing you did was nothing but scheming,
“I watched you living it up, and as a fellow woman, I never once thought about making things difficult for you.
“Every time we met, I treated you with respect, gave you good food and wine, but you were stabbing me in the back the whole time.
“Yeah, it takes two to tango, but you really shouldn’t go after someone that close to you. So you and Vincent? Both of you are absolute scum.
“One pretends to be the perfect, loving husband, the other acts like the devoted wife who’d never leave, not even as a widow.

“But behind closed doors, you’re both doing the nastiest stuff. Honestly, you two are beyond disgusting.
“Now I have every reason to believe it was you and Vincent who made Nolan disappear.

“Beatrice, do you even realize? Nolan once had a woman he loved deeply. If you hadn’t barged in, they never would’ve broken up. If you hadn’t schemed against him, you wouldn’t even matter now.
“I finally see it. People like you are never satisfied. You’d do anything for money, no matter how dirty or shameless.
“My husband and I have been playing the role of a loving couple for a lifetime, and honestly, he looks worn out. Once I’ve dealt with everything, I’ll make sure you and Vincent are stuck together for good.”
With that, Lacey walked away, thinking, ‘Scum like you two should be chained together forever.
Lacey walked up to Serena and said, “Stella, you were smart to get out when you did. The Ashford family, honestly, they’re all just one mess after another.
“Dylan squandered billions on Eliana, leaving you battered and bruised. You need to be careful. Eliana is as ruthless as they come.”
Serena smiled, “Thanks for the heads–up, Lacey. You take care of yourself, too, okay?”
Lacey shot Beatrice a hateful glare. “Humph! As if she could ever do anything to me.”
