Chapter 264

Sophia Lowell's shrill voice echoed across the field.

Her venomous gaze locked onto Ethan Sullivan as a cruel smirk twisted her lips. "You were never the one in his heart."

"Evelyn Laurent, do you really think he loves you?"

"You're just a stand-in!"

Victoria Langley trembled with rage and delivered a sharp slap across Sophia's face.

Crack!

The crisp sound silenced the entire crowd.

Ethan's face drained of color before quickly regaining composure. A flicker of lethal intent flashed in his eyes as his fists clenched at his sides.

Sophia was determined to burn everything down with her.

The six Langley brothers turned their piercing gazes toward Ethan, their eyes sharp as blades.

"Hahaha!" Sophia clutched her cheek, laughing hysterically.

She wanted to see the Langleys humiliated.

She wanted to watch Evelyn suffer.

Why should they have everything while she had nothing?

"Mom, ignore her," Evelyn said softly, gently pulling Victoria's hand away. "A rabid dog will bite anyone."

Her calm gaze swept over Ethan. "You know exactly what kind of man Mr. Sullivan is."

Victoria took a deep breath, forcing her anger down.

Ethan strode forward, his presence icy. "Security."

Two guards immediately seized Sophia.

As she was dragged away, Sophia mouthed a silent phrase at Evelyn.

Evelyn's pupils constricted.

The field fell deathly quiet.

Every ear strained to catch the next words.

This was explosive gossip about the Sullivan Group's CEO!

"Tch." Lillian Rothschild suddenly scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. "People actually believe Sophia's nonsense?"

She scanned the crowd with mocking amusement. "Taking the ravings of an impostor seriously? How pathetic."

The onlookers exchanged glances, realization dawning.

Right!

How could anyone trust the words of a proven fraud?

Sophia was truly vicious—dragging others down with her even in defeat.
