Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 696

Elena's words were powerful and resonant, leaving everyone present completely speechless.

Especially when she brought up the past incident of Cathy stealing her fiancé, it effectively destroyed Cathy's reputation on the spot.

The matriarch's face turned pale with anger, unable to find a single word in response.

A heavy silence fell over the hall; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Finally, Justin stepped forward.

"I want a divorce from Cathy. I hope you will support my decision!"

"What? A divorce?" The matriarch was taken aback.

Edward's family immediately flared up in anger upon hearing this.

"Justin, what is the meaning of this? You and Cathy haven't even been married for that long, and now you want a divorce? Is this some kind of joke?" Maggie Whelan demanded.

"After what Cathy has done, I simply cannot live with her anymore. I only married her for the sake of the baby. Now that the baby is gone, it's best we just go our separate ways."

"Bastard!" Edward snapped. "That baby is gone because of you, and you still have the nerve to bring it up!"

"I admit that I am at fault for the loss of the baby. But do any of you know how that pregnancy happened in the first place? Cathy drugged me. Her subordinates have already confessed, and I kept all the evidence. At the end of the day, she was the one who ruined my relationship with Claire. She brought all of this upon herself."

The crowd was even more stunned. Cathy had drugged him!

"You're lying, I didn't... I didn't do that..." Cathy broke down into terrified sobs.

She had come today to cause trouble for Claire, but somehow it had turned into her own public humiliation.

"Since you are denying it, I'll just show everyone the evidence!" Justin said, pulling out his phone to play the recording.

"No matter who is in charge, someone messed with Claire, and there needs to be accountability. If I hadn't shown up today, wouldn't Claire have been beaten and slandered by you for no reason?" Elena's gaze swept coldly across the room.

The matriarch knew full well that if she didn't provide a satisfactory answer today, this stubborn girl wouldn't let the matter rest.

"Elena, what exactly do you want?" the matriarch asked, glancing at her.

"Me?" Elena said. She looked up at Cathy, then suddenly reached out and slapped her hard across the face.

A sharp smack echoed through the room.

"Ah!" Cathy shrieked.

The sheer force of the blow sent her stumbling sideways, nearly knocking her to the ground.

It was obvious how much power had been packed into that single strike.
