ALL of a sudden, it seemed as though she had never truly known this man, and simultaneously, she felt sympathy for Sandra.
When they fell for Raphael, those women could only see Raphaelâs elegant facade and become infatuated with him.
However, they didnât realize that Raphael had already given all his love to Olivia, so he wouldnât genuinely care about any other women.
Now, she finally grasped that Sandra really meant nothing to Raphael.
In the bustling banquet hall, the couple played their roles in front of the crowd.
However, when their eyes met, there was a sense of unfamiliarity between them.
It was nearly noon when Raphael left the company with Elissa.
By this time, public opinion had shifted, and there were no reporters blocking their path.
In a cheerful tone, Raphael turned to Elissa and said, âIt seems the matter has been resolved, so you donât need to worry about it anymore.

Hearing his words, Elissa forced a smile.
As she was about to step into the car, a womanâs voice erupted from nowhere, saying, âYou shameless liar! Itâs because of you that my Sandy became the target of all this criticism.
How could you be so heartless, huh? When you were dating Raphael, he was already in a relationship with my daughter.
You bitch!â
Following the accusation, a dozen eggs were hurled at Elissa.
Luckily, Raphael shielded her with his arm.
Yet a few still managed to strike Elissaâs face.
The thick and foul~smelling Liquid trickled down her cheek, leaving her feeling utterly humiliated.
Elissa had never faced anything quite like this before.
She stood there silently, observing as the security guard took charge of the woman and threatened to escort her to the police station.
Meanwhile, Raphael gently wiped the liquid off her face with a tissue.
He appeared so caring.
With the foul-smelling liquid still on her face, Elissa turned to Raphael and asked in a subdued voice, âIs that woman Sandraâs mother?â
After a brief pause, Raphael nodded.
âYes! That woman is Sandraâs mother,â he said.
Despite the bright and warm sun, Elissa felt a chill upon hearing his response.
The cold sensation seemed to seep into her bones⦠she suddenly felt desperate.
On the opposite side, Sandraâs mother persisted in her accusations, exclaiming, âYou ungrateful people! My daughter is still hospitalized.
How dare you defame her in this manner! Where is your conscience, huh?â
Suddenly, Elissa pushed Raphael aside and approached the woman.
The woman had attempted to scratch her face, but the security guard held her firmly, making it impossible for her to break free.
Fixing her gaze upon the woman, Elissa spoke in hushed tones, her voice edged with frustration.
âItâs your daughter and Raphael who erred.
Why unleash all your fury on me? Surely she couldnât have been unaware of Raphaelâs engagement, given their shared workplace.
Moreover, news of our relationship was widespread.
And yet, you lay blame on me for me telling the truth at the press conference? Why not hold Raphael accountable instead of directing all your wrath towards me? I bet you wish I would lose my baby or divorce Raphael in a fit, so that your daughter could take my place, donât you?â
Hearing Elissaâs words, the woman was stunned and averted her gaze.
