Dominic’s expression changed.
That subtle shift didn't escape Gregory's notice.
"Dominic, are you and Melanie having problems?"
"N-no…"
Dominic shook his head.
"It’s not my brother's fault. It's all that Melanie's…"
Evelyn stood up, enduring the searing pain all over her body.
"Melanie is your sister-in-law. How can you be so disrespectful?"
Gregory immediately reprimanded Evelyn.
"Dad…"
Evelyn walked over to Gregory, her face a mask of righteous indignation.
"Don't blame me for being disrespectful. It's because her actions don't deserve any respect… You have no idea. Our family's company is in such trouble, it's even being liquidated for bankruptcy, but do you know what that Melanie is doing?"
Evelyn deliberately raised her voice, glancing at Camilla.
Her words naturally caught Camilla’s attention.
"Melanie is out to dinner with some boy toy!"
As soon as Evelyn said this, Camilla shot to her feet.
"What did you say?"
Evelyn smirked inwardly, knowing Camilla would have the strongest reaction.
"Mom… when Melanie took that boy toy out to dinner, they didn't just go to some ordinary restaurant. They went to Le Marcelline, to the exclusive Summit Tier, where there's a twenty-million-dollar minimum!"
As Evelyn recounted the story with dramatic flair, Camilla began to tremble with rage.
"I'm not lying… My brother, and Lila, they both saw it. Melanie was wearing a strapless gown, holding that boy toy's arm…"
"Bah!"
