“Miss Lopez, how dare you spike drinks at the Cross Manor?” Amelia snapped.

“No! It’s not my fault! It’s her–Seraphina did it!” Sienna finally came to her senses.

That Seraphina–she’d planned this all along.

She’d made me spike the drink, then tried to sleep with Elias herself.

She was so cruel.

Painting herself as a victim, while making me the villain.

“Miss Thorne couldn’t tell who she ‘married. But now, the truth is clear,” Elias said calmly.

The crowd looked confused. How is it clear already?

“Miss Lopez, you snuck into the Cross Manor to cheat. And you even insulted my family’s dog. I’ll make you pay for this,” Aaron fumed.

“What? So Miss Lopez spiked Miss Thorne’s drink? And they… plus the dog?”

“Wow, my brain can’t keep up.”

“Miss Thorne can’t blame the Cross family. She brought the person who spiked the drink herself. She knew what kind of person Sienna is the Cross family would never invite her.

She got what she deserved.”

Seraphina broke down. How could this happen?

Why was I the one drugged?

Sienna is such an idiot–she couldn’t even spike a drink right.

“The Cross Manor is not a hotel. I’ll get to the bottom of this,” Elias said firmly.

He knew exactly what was going on.

These two women had tried to seduce him, spiking drinks at the banquet to pressure the Cross family,

“Elias, Seraphina is the victim!” Arthur argued.

“Whether she’s a victim or not, I’m sure you know, Mr. Thorne,” Elias shot back.

Sienna had no one to back her up. She had to save herself. “It was her! She knew I was going to spike Mr. Cross‘ drink, so she brought me in. I never thought she’d be the one to drink the spiked wine. I never thought she’d go to Mr. Cross‘ room. And I definitely never thought she’d… force herself on me. And on the dog.”

Aaron stumbled, his eyes red with anger. “My Lulu–what did he do to deserve this? He’s not even a year

old!”

“Dad, calm down,” Amelia said, holding him back. There were still so many guests.

He acted more like a kid the older he got.

“How can I calm down? Lulu was violated by a pervert in his own home–with a different species! How can his little heart handle this?” Aaron held Lulu gently, stroking his bloodstained fur.

“Don’t cry, baby. I’ll get justice for you,” he whispered, wiping the tears from his eyes.

“Daring to spike drinks and do such indecent things in my house! I may be retired, but I’m not dead!” Aaron handed Lulu to Jax. “Take him to get his wounds checked. And find him a pet therapist.”

“Grandpa, why me?” Jax pouted. He wanted to stay and watch the drama too.

“Can you help if you stay?” Aaron asked.

Jax fell silent. Good point.

Once Jax left, Aaron glared at Sienna furiously. “You said you tried to spike my son’s drink. Seraphina knew about it–and didn’t stop you. She even brought you to the banquet. But you messed up. Seraphina drank the spiked wine by mistake. And now you’re both paying for it.

‘Isn’t that right?”

Sienna panicked. I watched Elias drink the wine–how did Seraphina end up with it instead?

‘Seraphina, is this true?” Aaron’s voice was cold, filled with disappointment. I watched her grow up. I even hought about making her myson’s wife once. I was so stupid.

‘Aaron, what are you implying?” Arthur asked, first shocked, then angry.

‘If she’s a victim, I’ll do right by her. But if she intentionally caused trouble–disrespecting the Cross family’s name and endangering the guests–then I…”

‘Aaron, Seraphina is a victim!”

“Then why did she bring Sienna here?” Elias asked, stepping in. He didn’t want Aaron to be embarrassed, but cutting ties with the Thorne family tonight wouldn’t be the end of the world.

“I…” Seraphina stammered.

“Why did you go to my room?”

“I…”

“Why did you accuse me of assault in front of everyone?”

“I…”

“Can’t answer?” Elias pressed, his tone sharp.
