“You’re lying! I admit I wanted to sleep with Mr. Cross and upset Stella. But you’re not innocent either. You wanted to be the victim so you could marry him!”
“I did not!”
Seraphina and Sienna grabbed each other’s hair and started fighting.
“Seraphina, you held me and bit me, screaming ‘Elias, I love you!‘ I told you I wasn’t him, but you kept biting!”
“If you weren’t him, why didn’t you push me away?!”

If I couldn’t marry into the Cross family, Stella wouldn’t either.
“Master Celeste’s student is really coming?”
“I don’t want to leave yet. Meeting someone like him is worth it.”
“The Cross family must be too stressed to host guests now.”

“Knowing Mr. Cross has a girlfriend and still throwing herself at him–some people have no shame.”
Seraphina grabbed Arthur’s hand. “Grandpa, help me! Those heart pills are fake! How could Stella get so many real ones?”
“Seraphina, let’s go home.”
Arthur just wanted to get her out of there.
“I’m not leaving! I’m going to expose her true face! Mr. Aaron Cross, if Stella really tried to hurt you, can I make up for my
for my mistakes?”
Stella let out a soft laugh.
“Mr. Cross, let Master Celeste’s student come in. It will clear my name.”
“Stella, I believe you.”
“I know.”
Elias didn’t care about anyone else. He told Gideon to bring the guest in.
Seraphina clung to her last hope. She whispered, “Stella, you’re dead meat.”
Stella swirled her juice and took a graceful sip.
Everyone stared at the door, eager to see Master Celeste’s student.
Seraphina rushed over excitedly. “Professor Lowe, I’m so glad you’re here! Someone is pretending to be Master Celeste and selling fake heart pills!”
Asher Lowe frowned. He had come because he heard someone was using his teacher’s name to ruin her reputation.
“Five bottles were given to Mr. Cross today.”
“Five?”
Asher’s eyes widened. He held up all five fingers in shock.
“Yes! Exactly five!”
Seraphina was thrilled. “Professor Lowe, these terrible people are ruining Master Celeste’s name! If the fake pills hurt someone, everyone will blame Master Celeste!”

She glanced at the Shaw family and sneered. “Miss Shaw doesn’t know Master Celeste’s rules, but you must! Or are you covering for her while she tries to kill Mr. Cross? Professor Lowe is here now. Dare you let him check the pills?”
Stella smiled calmly, not a trace of panic. “Go ahead and check.”
Asher’s eyes narrowed in confusion. That voice sounded familiar.
He looked up, searching through the crowd.
Seraphina pulled him toward the gift table.
Elias gestured. The servant brought out the two broken bottles of pills.
Aaron looked worried. “Elias.”
Amelia stepped over, her voice tense. “Elias.”
The Cross family already had the upper hand. There was no need to check.
They could verify privately later. They shouldn’t let Seraphina control everything.
If Stella had been tricked into buying fake pills, being exposed in public would ruin her reputation. The guests would spread terrible rumors.
‘Mr. Cross, Amelia, let them check.”
Amelia still worried at how calm Stella was.
‘Stella, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I’m just afraid you were fooled.”
