Elaine stood to one side, her eyes gleaming with amusement as she watched the chaos unfold.
The woman causing the ruckus was Dahlia Bennett, someone Elaine had run into by chance outside a hotel while gathering evidence of Bianca’s affairs with other men.
As luck would have it, Dahlia was there for the same reason–catching her boyfriend in the act.
He had been seeing another woman and they had even checked into a hotel together. What exactly went down behind closed doors was anyone’s guess.
When Dahlia saw Elaine snapping photos of the two, it was as if she’d found an ally. The two of them quickly bonded over their shared hatred of Bianca and planned to expose the truth together.
And now, Dahlia had come to Boynton, ready to deliver the final blow to Bianca at her wedding.
The once–glamorous bride, Bianca, who had been holding herself high and mighty just moments ago, was now rolling on the floor with another woman. To make things worse, she had been branded a home–wrecker in front of the guests. All her grandeur, all the flaunting, vanished in an instant. The once proud “lady of the house” of Boynton was now being subdued by a complete stranger.
Elaine watched as the chaos played out, knowing that the Yeats family never could have anticipated such a turn of events.
Bianca’s parents, Ella and Robert, were paralyzed with shock at the sight, especially Ella, who nearly collapsed. Fortunately, Robert caught her before she fell.
“What’s going on? What is happening?” Ella gasped, bewildered.
Tracy, determined to protect Bianca, rushed in and pulled the struggling bride away from Dahlia. “Are you crazy? Who stole your man? Don’t make baseless accusations!”
Tracy couldn’t fathom the idea that her pure, innocent daughter could be the one involved in such a mess.
Elaine simply watched, finding the entire wedding spectacle highly entertaining. ‘This must be the last thing the Yeats family expected, she thought, savoring the irony of it all.
Meanwhile, Finley, who had been busy greeting guests, finally noticed the uproar. By the time he reached the scene, it was already too late.
He stormed toward the security and bodyguards, shouting, “What are you even paid for? Get this mad woman out of here!”
Dahlia, unfazed, swiveled around with a dismissive huff and strutted off, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
Seeing her daughter’s wedding day turned into a disaster, Ella and Tracy were on the brink of tears. But the one most devastated was Bianca.
Finley rushed over to comfort Bianca, but she was beyond consoling. Her mind was in turmoil. After half an hour, the ceremony resumed, but Bianca was a shadow of her former self. She had changed into another designer gown, her steps slow and stiff, as she made her way down the red carpet with Robert by her side.
At the end of the carpet stood Finley, her supposed prince charming, awaiting her arrival.
Bianca put on a bright smile as the priest began his prayers. And then, in front of everyone, she exchanged vows with Finley. For a moment, it seemed like all was right in the world again. ‘She had made it. She was Mrs. Scott family now.’
Elaine stood in the crowd, clapping along with the others, her lips curled into a faint smile.

Chapter 272
“Miss Bianca Yeats, do you take Mr. Finley Scott to be your lawfully wedded husband?” the priest asked.
“I do,”
“Mr. Finley Scott, do you take Miss Bianca Yeats to be your lawfully wedded wife?”
“L…” Finley started, but before he could finish, something unexpected happened. The wedding video that had been playing, showing sweet moments of the couple, suddenly switched to a different set of images.
The screen filled with intimate photos of Bianca with several men. They were kissing, hugging–engaged in behaviors far beyond what one would expect between friends. Some of the photos were even so explicit, they were almost pornographic.
Bianca’s face was unmistakably clear in every frame, her provocative outfit–a low–cut, figure–hugging dress–leaving little to the imagination.
The photos flashed across the screen, and a stunned silence fell over the crowd.
No one could believe their eyes. Bianca, the sweet, innocent girl everyone had thought she was, was anything but. In fact, she had been playing the game of seduction far better than anyone had imagined.
Finley’s expression was one of pure disbelief.
He looked at Bianca, his mind reeling. The woman he thought he knew, the woman he had fallen in love with, was now a stranger–her face painted with heavy makeup, flirting with multiple men. It was as though he didn’t recognize her at all.
“This can’t be happening. This just can’t be real,” he muttered in shock.
Bianca stumbled back a few steps, her face contorted with panic. She turned to Finley, her voice pleading. “Darling, you have to believe me! Those photos are doctored! Someone is trying to ruin me. They want us to break up. You know Elaine has always been jealous of me, and she hates that I’m marrying you. She’s trying to make me look bad, she’s doing this on purpose.”
Even at this point, Bianca was still trying to blame Elaine.
Elaine smirked, watching as Finley stood there, stunned and disillusioned. His face twisted with disbelief.
“Finley,” Elaine said coolly, “You shouldn’t be so shocked. Don’t forget, when you first got together with Bianca, you knew full well she was aware that you were supposed to be my fiancé. She didn’t mind getting involved with you then, so why would you think she wouldn’t do it again?
“If she’s flirting with other men now, you should’ve seen this coming. She’s shown you exactly who she is.”
Finley’s face darkened as Elaine’s words hit him like a slap.
The entire room fell into a hushed silence as everyone, including Tracy, was stunned by the revelation.
“Wait–so, Bianca was already involved with Finley when he was my fiancé?” Tracy whispered, her voice trembling in disbelief.
Bianca’s face flushed with fury, her eyes filled with hatred as she glared at Elaine. “Elaine!”
She had been so close to having it all–the grandeur of marrying into the elite Scott family. So close to living the dream of being the top socialite in Boynton. And yet, in this moment, all of it was slipping through her fingers.
Elaine raised an eyebrow, her voice smooth and unaffected. “What’s with the theatrics? Do you really think I care?” Bianca’s steps faltered as she moved closer, her face twisted with rage. “You’re jealous, aren’t you? You’re jealous that I’m marrying Finley, that I’m going to be a rich lady. That’s why you’re doing all this to ruin me. Tell me, Elaine—admit it. Admit you’re jealous.”

Chapter 272
Elaine stood her ground, unflinching. “Jealous of you? Keep dreaming.”
At that moment, a voice broke through the tension.
Shirley, followed by Kingsley, walked toward them, their presence commanding attention.
Kingsley’s eyes locked onto Elaine’s, as if the entire world had disappeared.
Shirley sneered at Bianca, saying, “The Morgan family is the leading family of Lento. Why would we need to be jealous of you? You, a small–time socialite? As for the Scott family–don’t even try to talk down to us.”
The room froze.

Everyone’s jaws dropped as they processed the truth. Kingsley wasn’t just anyone–he was from the Lento family, the top of the five great noble houses.
Elaine wasn’t just marrying into any wealthy family–she was joining the most prestigious family in the entire region. No wonder she wasn’t jealous of Bianca at all.
The truth had been revealed.
