The dining room was suddenly heavy with tension.

Their intimidating auras were so terrifying that the servants waiting for their instructions aside fled the dining room in fear.

Asher and Sienna raised their heads in unison and glared at Lorelai.

Cedrick furrowed his brows as his expression turned immensely dark.

Lorelai felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed the tension in the air. However, she composed herself and responded with an icy snort, trying to assert control over the situation. “Why are you staring at me? I am simply stating the truth!”

She had purposely said those words in front of Cedrick so he’d know Gwendolyn was a filthy and loose woman.

Feeling displeased, Marcus cleared his throat and said, “We’re having dinner, so why did you mention that? Shut up and eat your food.”

Lorelai knew how to read the room and fell silent. After all, her goal to sow discord had already been achieved.

Asher and Sienna turned to look at Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn sat silently as she ate her dinner. Her face was impassive. She seemed unaffected by Lorelai’s words.

Her lack of reaction was unusual, considering her typically vengeful nature.
