Chapter 349

The veil Renee yanked off was pinned to Violet’s hair with bobby pins.

With that rough tug, Violet let out a sharp cry of pain.

Seeing this, everyone at the control desk immediately stood up.

Renee snatched the ring from the bridesmaid and tossed it aside, then pointed at her father and Violet. “Did you even bother to ask me before you got married?”

Henry swung his hand and slapped Renee hard across the face. “You damn troublemaker, get out of here right now!”

Right in front of all the guests, Renee turned and slapped Violet twice.

Violet covered her face and hid in Henry’s arms. Henry’s eyes were bloodshot with rage. “You ungrateful daughter, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Renee shot back, “Obviously, I’m here to settle the score with you two!”

Andrea hurried over. “Ms. Quinn, your dad and my aunt are getting married today. The guests are all waiting. Can’t you wait until after the ceremony to talk about this?”

Renee looked Andrea up and down with open disdain. “What’s the matter? Too scared to call her your mom in front of all these people?”

Andrea shrank back, flustered. “Ms. Quinn, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Violet, seeing Renee was hell-bent on exposing her secrets, burst into tears and pleaded with Henry, “Henry, it looks like your daughter is determined to smear my name in front of all these guests.

“If she hates me this much, maybe we should just call off this wedding.”

Henry stepped forward and said to Renee, “If you’re angry, blame me. I’m the one who decided to leave your mom and remarry. No one else is involved!”

Renee pointed at the two of them, tears streaming down her face. “You two, one is the husband my mom gave everything to support, and the other is her supposed best friend.

“You’ve been having an affair behind her back for years. Not only do you feel no shame, but after you got caught, you tried to move the assets, threatened her, and used your ties with the Jordan family to force her into a divorce.

“You made her so ill she can barely get out of bed!”

Renee pointed at her father and Violet. “If anything happens to my mom, you’re both

murderers!”

Then she turned and pointed at Astrid. “And you, the Jordan family, throwing your weight around, you’re accomplices, too!”

As soon as Renee finished, the crowd went wild.

“What a pair of shameless scumbags. How can they even have the nerve to get married?”

“Look at the bride. She’s already got a baby bump!”

“Everyone in our circle knows about the Quinn family’s messy divorce. Why’s the Jordan family getting mixed up in this?”

“Astrid has been smart her whole life, but now she’s making a dumb move meddling in someone else’s drama.”

“Even if the Jordan family’s newly adopted daughter and Henry’s mistress are supposed to be aunt and niece, how can the Jordans just back a bitch like that without even knowing the whole story?”

“Didn’t you hear? They’re not aunt and niece. They’re actually mother and daughter!”

The gossip in the crowd was getting out of control, and there was no way Henry and Violet’s wedding was happening now.

With everyone watching, Violet couldn’t confront Renee directly, so she tried to win sympathy by appealing to family ties and acting vulnerable.

Violet sobbed, “Renee, your dad and mom’s relationship fell apart ages ago. They’d already been talking about divorce. I only started seeing your dad after I knew they were splitting up. You’re blaming me for the wrong reasons.”

Andrea quickly chimed in, “Ms. Quinn, even if you have issues with my aunt, you can’t just spread rumors about us. I grew up poor. My dad died of cancer, and my mom worked herself to the bone to raise my brother and me.

“I only got close to my aunt in the last couple of years. How can you talk about my aunt and me like we’re the villains?”

Renee snatched the bouquet from Violet and hurled it at Andrea, who shrieked and ducked behind the Jordan family.

The Jordan family all looked deeply embarrassed.

Gerardo, the head of the Jordan family, couldn’t take the humiliation anymore. He ordered his three sons, “Take your grandmother home!”

As soon as Gerardo spoke, Eric and Jude stepped up to Astrid, one on each side, and forcibly escorted her away.

Andrea, feeling uneasy, tried to leave with the Jordan family, but Antonio and Hazel stopped her.

Hazel said, “Andrea, Grandma is not feeling well, so we’re taking her home. Your aunt’s still here. Where are you off to?”

Andrea nodded, looking flustered and unsure what to do, and had no choice but to stay. She quietly made her way over to Violet, hoping not to draw attention.

Violet gave Andrea a meaningful look. Violet thought and passed her opinion to Andrea soundlessly. “They don’t have any proof. Whatever happens, we can’t let them know we’re mother and daughter!’

Henry quickly spoke up for Andrea and Violet. “Don’t listen to my rebellious daughter’s nonsense. I’ve known Violet for years, and Andrea is her niece. Trust me, I know this for a

fact!”

The moment Henry finished speaking, the whole place exploded into noisy chaos.

Laura walked in with Xander, Melody, two grandsons, and Clint.

Melody said, “Mr. Quinn, who knows better than the Sherman family whether those two are mother and daughter?”

Mia quickly reminded the big influencer who was live-streaming, “Zoom in. This is about to get good!”

When Andrea and Violet saw the whole Sherman clan show up, their faces instantly turned pale. They looked absolutely terrified.

Clint spotted Andrea, broke free from Laura’s grip, and ran straight toward her, sobbing uncontrollably. “Mommy, please don’t leave me!”

Andrea shrieked and jumped back. “Get away from me! Who the hell are you? I’m not your mom!”

Andrea shoved Clint to the ground, and he started bawling even louder.

Melody pointed at Andrea and yelled, “You spiked the drinks of some rich guy just to crawl into his bed and marry into money.

“You thought having his child would guarantee you a spot in the family, but when he dumped you, you tossed your own kid into some backwater orphanage. How could you be so heartless?

“Violet, you venomous woman! You let someone from the Jordan family have his way with you for a measly ten grand, got pregnant, and then, worried about your reputation, you, your parents, and your brother tricked me into raising your daughter.

“Your brother died of cancer, and I worked myself to the bone to put both kids through college.

“Now one of you marries into the Quinn family, and the other gets back in with the Jordan family. You won’t even answer my calls. You two are the worst. Pay me back every cent I sweated for.”

Laura sat herself right down on the aisle, beating her legs and sobbing as she aired her complaints.

The kid kept crying, and Melody kept stirring up trouble.

Xander said, “Andrea, what did the Sherman family ever do to you? Even if you’re rich now and want nothing to do with us, how could you block our calls and abandon your own son in an orphanage?”

The crowd erupted again.

“Even wild animals care for their young. Andrea’s just evil!”

“The Jordans must be out of their minds to let someone this nasty join their family!”

“Call the cops and have them arrested!”

“Someone calls the cops, now!”

Seeing things completely out of control, Henry slapped Violet hard across the face. “You bitch! You kept swearing I was your first, but you were just playing me for a fool this whole time!”

After Henry slapped her, Violet didn’t flinch. Instead, she regained her composure, looking completely unfazed.
