Chapter 150 Public Rift

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said lightly, “Mrs. Hart, I think you misunderstood. It’s for someone else. I’m not sure what gave you that impression, but I’m sorry for the confusion. Adam, please have it packaged.”

“Yes, of course,” Adam responded quickly, signaling for staff to prepare it.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Catherine’s face before she forced her expression back into a tight smile.

Elena had clearly led her to that misunderstanding on purpose. What angered her more was that Elena, he own daughter, would spend seven million on another woman.

Forgetting her refined persona, she pointed at Elena with trembling fingers. “You hear this? hter. Now that she thinks she’s attached herself to someone wealthy, she denies her own ums they’re dead.”

Chapter 150 Public Rift

What if it came from my adoptive parents?”

“Your adoptive parents?”

Catherine let out a sharp, theatrical laugh, one hand pressing lightly against her midsection as if the comment truly amused her. “That’s adorable. They live out in some tiny rural town and barely scrape by. If they clear a modest income in a year, it’s probably cause for celebration. You’re really going all in on that fantasy. If they were actually that rich, I’d personally apologize for ever doubting it.”

Elena’s expression hardened.

When she had first learned her identity, she had not wanted to return. Malcolm and Vivian had encouraged her, believing she would be better off with her biological parents. They had personally escorted her back.

When Catherine and Richard had first met Malcolm and Vivian, Vivian had sincerely thanked her for raising Camille all those years. Out of basic courtesy, she had even poured Catherine a cup of coffee.

Catherine had accepted it with a smile, only to let it slip from her hand moments later, the cup crashing onto the marble floor in a display so transparent it fooled no one.

Elena had been seconds away from correcting Catherine’s version of the story when a calm, seasoned voice rose from behind the gathered crowd.

“And who exactly do you think you are to look down on her parents?”

Everyone turned toward the speaker.

It was Grant.

Catherine recognized him immediately. Grant had spent most of his life in education, and the students he had mentored were anything but ordinary. Even after retiring from Aurelian University, his name still commanded respect, even among families like the Kingsleys.

When Camille was in college, Catherine had tried several times to build a connection with him, hoping Camille might one day become his prized student. Each time she had been turned away.

How could he possibly be connected to Elena?

Catherine forced a smile. “Mr. Jones, what brings you here?”

Grant looked at her with cool detachment.
