Carly stumbled backward, hitting her head on the wall. A red mark quickly formed on her forehead.
Lucy immediately pulled Hazel by the âHow dare you hit Carly!â
Hazel didnât down, she grabbed fistful of Lucyâs hair and clawed at Lucyâs face. âWho do you think you are, Lucy? Youâre nothing but a slut that married your own brotherâin As the Tate family rose to prominence over the years, Lucyâs scandalous past was slowly forgotten. However, Hazel had brought it out to the open once again.
The crowd broke into whispers.
â
⦠Lucy married her brotherâinâlaw?â
âYou didnât know? Lucyâs first husband was the Tate familyâs eldest son, Aaron. After he died, she married his younger brother, Hayden.â
âI canât believe she slept with both brothers! Thatâs insane!â
Lucy was furious; she snapped. âShut up, you bitch! Iâm going to kill you!â
The two of them went at each otherâclawing at each otherâs faces and yanking at each otherâs hair.
Just as Hayden wanted to break them apart, Wayne stormed in and landed a punch square on his face, leaving Hayden with a nosebleed.
At the same time, Tracy grabbed onto Carlyâs arm and they began shoving at each other.
Soon, the entire room descended into chaos as the two families continued to lighteach other.
Sonia stood frozen on the spot. She couldnât comprehend how her birthday banquet had spiraled into such chaos.

âMy cake!â Sonia cried out.
Before she could recover, the two women crashed into the gift display table, knocking over the delicate painting Adam had gifted her. The painting bell onto the ground and was subsequently trampled over shredded into pieces beyond repair.
Sonia sank to the floor she cried , âMy painting! Stop fighting, please! Itâs supposed to be my special day today!â
she was devastated.
Amid the chaos, Celine, who was still hidden behind the curtain, watched coldly as everything unraveled before her.
This was the special gift she had prepared for Lucy.
She had managed to bribe a maid to spill wine on Tracyâs . That was all she had to do to set the stage for this charade.
She watched as the two families locked up in brawl, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. Nobody knew better than her the hypocrisy and selfishness of these p people.
If she had been the one caught in such a compromising situation today, the two families would have quickly teamed up to ruin her without any hesitation.
However, when their own stakes were on the line, they didnât think twice about turning on each other Soniaâs Both birthday banquet had turned out much more dramatic than Celine had anticipated. A glint of satisfaction flashed across her eyes.
Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted her thoughts. âCould you remove hand now?!â
Celine froze. She had completely forgotten that Adam was hiding behind the curtain with her. To make matters worse, she had been covering his mouth the entire time. She realized that her palm was now resting against his soft lips.
Celine quickly pulled her hand away.
Adamâs sudden appearance hadnât been part of her plan. She still figure out what he was doing here in the first place wasnât he supposed to be with Tracy? Adam reached up to his tie âCeline.â Hecalled out to her.
Adam stared fixated at her I feel unusually warmâ¦
